The Cabral Concept

We're all struggling in some way to find more meaning in our life, but the way we go about it is often haphazard... We look for happiness, meaning, and purpose in places that it does not, can not, and will not ever exist... That's why on today's #CabralConcept 1081 I want to share with you how to discover your life's purpose with these 5 questions - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1081 - - - 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.

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! Dayna: Hello, I am having my amalgam fillings removed in two weeks and was wondering if you have any advice on how to prepare my body for the procedure...thank you Daniel: Hey, I am 25 and have been listening to your podcast ever since I heard you on Mind Pump and I am very intrigued by what you have to talk about. For the last few months I have had a really dry nose and it is tender to the touch. I usually wake up to hard boogers that are green/yellowish and I will usually have them throughout the day. I wanted to see what your thoughts were and if you had any remedies for this. I also have symptoms of brain fog, but sometimes my thoughts turn dark and it feels like I don't have control over them. This frightens me but I don't have good enough insurance to get it checked out and don't want to be put on medication if there are other alternatives. I did encounter a very serious concussion about a year ago ( I played football and lacrosse growing up so I have dealt with them before but this one was definitely the more serious of them, with the greatest symptoms) so I am not sure if this is playing a role in all of this as well. I look forward to hearing back from you! Thank you! Makayla: Hello there! I have been suffering with bile reflux since March. I have a lengthy history and I'm pretty sure I know what got me into this mess, but I'm so unsure what to do to get me out of it. I'm in a sufferable amount of pain and discomfort daily. I'm unable to eat most foods, my GI doctors have done absolutely nothing to help me. They want to remove my gallbladder and said that even then there's a 50/50 chance my pain will resolve. So, I remove an organ and hope for the best with the odds of a coin flip? I need help. Insight. Anything! My stomach and esophagus are becoming severely damaged. And its a total MYSTERY to every doctor I've been to. Please help me. Tinishia: Hello I just started listening to Stephens podcast and was wondering if you could help me find out which podcast he talks about why breakfast smoothies are important for your health. He stated in the 999 that his whole staff drinks smoothies every morning and I just wanted to learn the science behind it. Thank you in advance. Tinishia Riannan: How do I join your FB group so I can interact? I'm only seeing how to follow but I thought I've heard a group mentioned on your podcasts. Thx!

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: Roshana: Lily is 21 years old college student. She has always been a healthy child and teenager until last spring an ulcer like breakouts in her mouth and genital area, which continued with sores in eye lids ( similar to a chalazion case). After seeing rheumatologist , dermatologists and running all conventional medical test they are suspecting an autoimmune system decease named " Behcet". They are treating her with Steroid based medications. But even that doesn't keep the the flare outs away. I would love her be seen by dr. Cabral. Roshana Brittani: Hi there, Just listening to podcast number 922 at the moment and logged on to view the body type images. For the women, however, I've noticed that pitta-vata isn't pictured, there's one for the men though. I do know this is my type so was hoping for a visual :). Not that I'm a pro in typing, but in terms of body shape and structure - would Julianne Hough be considered a pitta-vata? Thanks for your thoughts on this! Steve: Hello - I have been researching clean and safe dinnerware options lately as I would really like to make the switch to a cleaner option. I have found many endorsements for stainless steel (food grade 304 18/10 or 18/8) but have also found equal warnings regarding chromium & nickel leaching. Can you speak into whether stainless steel is a safe option or not? Thanks, Steve Breanna: Hello! I had a quick question in regards to the Candida and bacterial overgrowth protocol. I know it helps with chronic yeast infections (yeast) but does it also help with chronic UTIs (E Coli)? Rachelle: Hi, I started the heavy metal detox this past Saturday and I know it's a six week protocol. I'm unsure if the products I purchased from equilibrium nutrition will last six weeks with the amount Dr. Cabral recommends I take. Should I purchase another set of supplements for the heavy metal detox? And also, some people take six months to detox heavy metals. Should I be doing this longer than six weeks? I want to ensure maximum benefit for my efforts. I just had my breast implants removed almost 8 weeks ago and I'm looking to completely cleanse my body as they really did a number to my hormones and health. Thank you! Katie: Hi- I just started my CBO Protocol Monday. Can I drink Herbal teas and coffee with almond milk? Also can you send me a link to some CBO recipes? I am part of the detox facebook group but struggling to find some inspiration for yummy CBO approved recipes that arent just a pile of veggies:) I am so excited for this journey!!!! Thank you! -Katie Anonymous: Hi Doc! Thanks for your podcast and all you do, changing lives. Do the world a favor and explain why the Keto diet and the carnivore diet are not suitable long term diets. I've had so many peolple debate with me on how great they feel and how it's healed all their medical ailments that I've even started to doubt my own belief on what the base of all diets should be (mostly veggies and moderate protein/fat). I'm constantly doing research to find the best diet for my family and I keep seeing more anecdotes and stories from people have tremendous success with Keto/carni for all around health. I think the world needs clarification on this and I know you are not bias towards any specific diet so your perception is greatly needed in the health community at the moment to clear things up for us normal folks who want the best for our people. Could you explain in depth/scientifically why we should avoid these diets except for unique medical cases? Maybe this deserves its own podcast :) :) :) 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!

We have a big #FridayReview coming in with everything from book reviews, to research, to the debut of my brand new @equilibrium_nutrition Daily Foundational Protocols! Our book/product review of the week is one that is centered around the actual science of how powerful the mind can be in manipulating the results you get in your life... And in our "in the news" research piece I reveal how TRT hormone replacement has been falling over the past few years (for good reason). Plus, we have another study on a specific "superfood" that at 100-200mg daily helps with DVTs and blood clots... Finally, we're wrapping up with our lab result of the week and explaining what alkaline phosphatase means on your blood work and why a high (or low) level can spell disaster for your health...

This means that everything must be taken into account: Strength, Hypertrophy, Endurance, Intervals, Flexibility, Neuromuscular & more...

With so much talk about carbohydrates lately it's almost unimaginable of me to be recommending them, but I'll do my best to share with you another side of the equation ; ) Today, I'd like to explain the different types of carbohydrates and which ones will have a greater effect on the blood sugar, calorie intake, serotonin production, cortisol dampening, and your weight loss/gain efforts... As you'll soon see, the carbs you should be eating will be more centered around your goals rather than some dogmatic style of diet adherence you must abide by...

I was reading through some articles last week and came across an interesting one where both MDs and NDs teamed up to share the nutritional supplements they believed EVERYONE should be using... Surprisingly, these doctors all agreed on which ones most people should be using on a daily basis... Why did they so readily agree? As a Functional Medicine Doctor or Integrative Health Practitioner, you will read thousands of labs in your practice every year, which will highlight the most common deficiencies - This makes it easy to know what 9 out of 10 people are always short on...

Do you ever feel that you should be further along in your life or progress than you currently are right now? If so, you're not alone and there are a few proven factors that can stall people from reaching their potential and living their best life... One of those is the opposite of the Placebo Effect and actually neutralizes much of the goal setting and progress you are trying to make... The good news is that you can overcome this hurdle once you become fully aware of how it is sabotaging your goals and results...

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! Caris: Hi Dr Carbral, Firstly, thank you for so openly sharing your wealth of knowledge to all of us- I'm so grateful to be learning from you all the way from Australia. My question is in relation to my Dad's health. He is 61 years of age and has suffered from reflux since he was in his 20's, and subsequently, has been on a the highest dose of Nexium (40 mg/day Esomeprazole) for 30+ years. For the past ~10 years he has also been having surgery every 6 months to remove between 10-20 gastric polyps at a time. His gastroenterologist has also said his stomach lining is chronically inflamed. I have been doing a lot of research on this and believe the polyps may be as a result of the Nexium suppressing his stomach acid for so many years. He has also had high cholesterol since his twenties (requiring long-term statins), has chronic back pain and recently, low iron. His doctors have said that it is better to stay on the Nexium and deal with recurring gastric polyps, than to risk developing oesophageal cancer as a result of his reflux. He eats a very healthy diet with lots of fruits and vegetables and rarely has junk foods, although he does drink socially a 1-2 times per week. I fear that his low stomach acid means he isn't absorbing enough nutrition from food, and I am greatly concerned for his health and the damage that chronic medication-use has caused. I am desperately seeking your advice of what direction we can take to improve his health - we will do anything!! Thank you so kindly in advance. Caris Lauren: Hi Dr. Cabral. Thank you for everything you do! I have listened to all podcasts back to episode 800. I am 5'3 and 163 pounds. I have always struggled to get back down to where I think I should be at 135 in a balanced approach. About 5 years ago, I trained for a bodybuilding competition, and since then have felt like no matter what I do, I can't lose weight. Last year, I worked with a local FM doctor, and was able to finally feel like I was making progress. The problem is he had me play around with intermittent fasting. At that point, I stayed at around 155, and felt like my health was finally in my control. Then I tried taking fasting to the next level. I fasted until lunchtime everyday for the past three months. I have listened to your thoughts on this, and stopped. But now what do I do? I bought your thyroid support and now only fast 12 hours daily (8pm-8am), and I do your daily protocol (greens and daily nutritional shake) but I still feel so stuck. I feel like my body just wants to hold on to all the fat. I keep telling myself it is not broken, It is doing what its natural response is to going without food. But how do I get out of this cycle? Logically I feel like I need to eat more often so my body knows it has food, but that goes against what I have been learning about space between meals. Valeria: Hi dr.cabral! So iv had epilepsy (complex partial) for 14 years now (if ur hearing this in 2019 it's 15 years) so since I was 7. After listening to a lot of ayervedic and balance dosha podcasts iv grown curious as to trying ayervedic medicine to rid my seizures for good without undergoing risky surgery which would impact 20% of my verbal memory. It'd be great for you to give me advice as to what I should do. Thanks Paul: Hello, My name is Paul and I'm an 18 year old male. Lately I've struggled with acne, primarily Perioral Dermatitis, and took an antibiotic to cure it. It worked very well but now I'm worried and believe I have Leaky Gut. I've read and listened to many podcasts and hear bone broth is great for curing this. I also have had you and your team suggest an organic acids test and food sensitivity but I cannot afford those right now. Do you suggest I try bone broth and if so, how often should I consume it. Also, any other suggestions? Thanks, Paul Ryan: Hi Dr. Cabral, I discovered you through listening to Ben Pak and MindPump and love your podcast as well. I have noticed two itchy bumps on two different spots on my scalp. I thought they were pimples at first but the just wouldn't go away. I went to see my doctor and he prescribed me an antifungal topical cream to put on and then a special shampoo. I found all they did was suppress the bumps and they would just move to a different spot on my scalp. My haircut barber said it might be from not washing my hats regularly and that it might be ringworm on my scalp. He said I need to ask for antifungal pills to kill the infections not just topical creams or shampoos. Can you please give me any recommendations that will help me fix this and not just give me temporary relief or suppressants? Are antifungal pills going to give me long term complications? Are more natural solutions that I've seen online like garlic, tumeric, coconut oil, or aloe vera just going to suppress or give temporary relief, not actually fix the issue? Thank you very much! - Ryan Lisa: I am 39 years old and have two children, but over the last 3 years, I've had two miscarriages at 10 weeks. I am currently doing the seed cycling and have seen good results so far. What tests do you suggest starting with in order to figure out what's happening? I can't afford all the tests at this point, so where should I start? Jane: Hi there, I was just wanting to enquire as to how to get your Detox shipped to New Zealand!

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: Nancy: Not sure how to join your facebook page;I believe I have developed food sensitivity and IBS or colitis after taking antibiotics a couple of times a year for a variety of problems. I think this summer put me over the edge with 2 rounds of antibiotics, most recently Augmentin. My elimination has not been the same since. I also developed swelling of the lips after going vegan and think I can say it is from a peanut butter powder / peanuts I was using. I have never had these problems like this before-my rainbarrel is definitely full.I am not certain where to begin, but I know my digestive system is Way Way off. Was also diagnosed last year on colonoscopy with diverticula for the first time ever. I was quite surprised about that. I am 64 and have always watched my diet.Do I need to start with the gut rebuilding products? I have been listening to your podcasts. I need a little guidance on where to start here and what products to get. Thanks. Nancy Isaac: Hi I have IBS maybe SIBO and also some anxiety/nervous system type of issues I want to get tested for. Im in the health field and dont feel like I need a coach or someone to meet with on a regular basis. Im wondering if its a good option to just get a test for each of these things and then I saw they come with a 30 min coaching session. Would this provide me with supplement/diet recommendations based on the tests? Would this be a good route if I not wanting the coaching on a regular basis? Kristy: Hello, I was just wondering if you ship to New Zealand at all? Many thanks! Tijana: Hi Stephen Cabral's support team!I am 19 years old and I am suffering from hypothalamic amenorrhea. I have not had a regular period in around 3 years. I have maybe had 1-3 over the 3 years but for the past year I have not had a single one. I am aware that I am suppose to exercise less and eat more in order to get my period back as well as reduce stress (mental and physical). Which is very hard for me as I love going to the gym and pushing myself. I have not been able to lose any weight even though I am exercising lots and eating a relatively healthy lower calorie diet. I am at the heaviest I've ever been in my life weighing 145lbs and I am 5 foot 7. I also have extreme cellulite. I have a decent amount of muscle on me which makes me question why I have so much cellulite (never suffered from cellulite before). One last thing to mention is I am extremely constipated, I never ever have regular bowel movements, maybe 2 times a week if I am lucky. I have been following your team for a while now and just wondering what is the best way to go about my situation. Please help. I live in Canada and I am able to run any blood test for free. Am I able to send your team my blood test results?Thanks,Tijana Josh: Hi Stephen,I have recently discovered your Podcast on iTunes and find it really interesting and insightful, I love it. Your listener questions are great and have prompted my email. I'm hoping you can give me some advice, particularly in relation to my digestive gut health and cystic acne. Brief background about me; I'm a 26 year old male, who lives an active lifestyle – I play Rugby League and resistance train 5 trains a week. My diet is 'clean' and balanced. I work as an Architect and as a result, I'm sedentary most of the day - 7.30am until 6pm. Then, I will go the gym after work and rugby train 2x a week, after the gym. Onto my issues, trying to be brief, I appreciate your time is valuable; - I started getting cystic acne roughly around the age of 15 years old. - I went to my local General Practitioner at the time, who put me on a repeat course of antibiotics Lymecycline 408mg. At the time, the antibiotics worked periodically and provided some relief.- Now I believe this is part of my current problem… I still take these antibiotics (although, I have started a regime to slowly come off of them, as I describe below – I'm scared to come off of them in one hit, due to the amount of time I've been taking them). - Over the years, my cystic acne has been terrible, then good, then back to terrible. I have visited my GP on numerous occasions, who have either switched the antibiotics I have been taking or provided a topical treatment, as well as, the oral antibiotic. - Again, this has worked on and off for many years. But never actually completely stopped the cystic acne. - After many hours of research over the years, I'm now aware that the antibiotic's I have been taking are more of a prevention than a cure; and have likely been making my general health worse! (I did broach this with my GP, however they dismissed it). - I battled with the above regime for years and years. Getting huge cystic acne spots, having a period of no acne, then the acne resurfacing. - For at least 6-8 years to present day, I have tried to exclude dairy and bread as practicable as possible; doing this seemingly had little or no effect, as the cystic acne hasn't budged. Bringing us back to 2018; - Around March 2018, my friends and I booked a summer holiday, I found this as an opportunity to get in to great shape; I was in the best shape of my life (my physique has always been relatively good, but I have never pushed myself and tried to get low body fat). - From March to June, my diet was very 'clean' contained lots of vegetables and few carbohydrates. - During the same period, the supplements I were taking consisted of the following – Zinc, Magnesium, 2 tbsp's of ACV per day, Calcium, Vitamin A, Vitamin D3, Burdock Root and Probiotics. - I found over that time period that my cystic acne flare ups, were very rare. Any spots I did get where minimal, I certainly wouldn't call them cystic – more small white heads. - I felt great, I got into the best shape of my life and finally after 10+ years my acne was seemingly going. My confidence was at an all-time high and I was loving my life. - I put my reduction of cystic acne down to my diet, active lifestyle and supplementation routine. Note; I was still taking the prescribed antibiotics during this period. Late July to early October 2018; - During a rugby match in July I suffered a complete tear of my distal bicep tendon, requiring surgery. - I had surgery on the 6th August, going under general anaesthetic. - As a result of my surgery, my activity levels reduced dramatically – walking was the only form of activity, were I would walk up to 20,000 steps a day. - My diet was largely the same as the previous, however I started getting my meals made and buying them from a company. - The only differences between my diet and supplementation between pre-surgery and post-surgery were; - Stopped taking Probiotics - Stopped taking Burdock Root - Increased carbohydrates and reduction of vegetables, eaten with my lunch time meal - However, my cystic acne was back as worse as ever and has been present ever since. - I couldn't put my finger on why my acne was back, so I started doing lots of research, listening to Podcast's (how I found ATP LAB!). - I come across one Podcast that suggested acne, specifically cystic acne is caused by underlying Streptococcus - SIBO overgrowth, in the gut, which can be caused by the frequent use of antibiotics! - This rang true with me, I had severe tonsillitis as a child, which resulted in me having them removed. I understand tonsillitis / strep throat is caused by group A streptococcus, the same bacteria which the Podcast stated causes cystic acne. - Perhaps, I never fully treated / removed the by group A streptococcus bacteria as a child, which results in my cystic acne; my diet / supplement change post-surgery and the reduction in vegetables, increased carbohydrates and no probiotics allowed the overgrowth of this bacteria? - The overgrowth could also be attributed to the antibiotics, general anaesthetic used during the time of my surgery? - Whether the streptococcus theory is factual or not, I do believe that the bacteria in my gut, is very poor, particularly since surgery – but largely due to the 10+ years of taking antibiotics; which again, could cause my cystic acne. Present day from 10th October 2018; - Listening to your Podcast on acne and the streptococcus Podcast on acne, changed my mindset completely. As a result, I have changed my diet and supplementation routine. - I have tried my best to incorporate as many of the strep killing foods / vitamins and minerals into my diet as possible. By no coincidence, these strongly match the foods / vitamins and minerals, many experts suggest consuming to prevent cystic acne. - Present day diet from 10th October 2018, largely reflects that post-surgery. Lots of vegetables, typical day; Breakfast: 4 whole eggs, cooked with coconut oil. Lunch: 200g chicken breast Large servings of broccoli, cauliflower, red & white cabbage 'Stir-fry' of spinach, kale, onions, asparagus Mixed with turmeric, ginger, garlic granules. Dinner: 200 – 300g chicken breast Large servings of broccoli, cauliflower, red & white cabbage 'Stir-fry' of spinach, kale, onions, asparagus Mixed with turmeric, ginger, garlic granules 110g quinoa, bulgur wheat and wholegrain Hummus. Snack: Tin of tuna Half an avocado 100g pickled beetroot - Around 2,600 calories – 230 grams protein, 160 carbs and 110 fats. - Present day, daily supplementation from 10th October 2018; Calcium Magnesium plus Zinc - Solgar -Take two before bed -Take one at lunch Zinc Pilcolinate - Now Foods Zinc Picolinate 50mg-Take after tea Vitamin D - Carlson labs D3 5000mg -Take after tea Vitamin A - Now Foods, Vitamin A, 10,000 IU -Take after teaBurdock Root - Now Foods 430mg-Take two before bed-Take one at lunchDandelion Root - Now Foods 500mg-Take one before bed-Take one at lunchACV - 4 tbsps / day-Take two tbsps in morning-Take two tbsps before bedFibre - Now Foods Fiber-3-Take two tbsps with ACV on a morningFish oils - Now Foods Ultra Omega 3 Fish Oil-Take two with lunchProbiotics - Now Foods GR8-dophillous-Take two at soon as get to work, 2 hours post breakfast, don't eat for 2 hours afterwards-Take one mid-afternoon, 2 hours post lunch, don't eat for 2 hours afterwards Multi vitamin - Nature's Way, Alive! Max3 Daily-Take three with lunch-Garlic – Raw-Swallow two whole cloves (crushed), before bed- As you can see, my diet is very clean (quite boring) and many of the foods contribute to strong gut health? I still to avoid dairy and bread – maybe it doesn't help with my acne and may help my gut health? - However, since starting the above regime, my flatulence and bloating has been overwhelming and without wanting to provide too much detail, it smells! But my stool is of a healthy consistency, due to my high fibre intake. But, I cannot understand why I have so much flatulence. My overall health is good. I rarely get any illness or any other issues, only cystic acne! - Side note; I'm more than happy to sit this one out and wait for the flatulence to stop / reduce, if it will. Continuing my present day regime. - As noted at the start, I have also began a regime to stop taking the antibiotics. I'm scared to come off of them in one hit, due to the amount of time I've been taking them. - Reduction regime; Take one acne tablet every four days then have a day off, for a month. Take one tablet every three days then have a day off, for a month. Take one tablet every two days then have a day off, for a month. Take one tablet every other day, for a month. Take one tablet every three days; tablet, day off, day off, tablet..., for a month. Take one tablet every four days, for a month. Take one tablet every 5 days, for a month. Stop taking acne tablets. My theory as a whole; - Taking antibiotics for most of my life has resulted in me having poor gut health, maybe group A strep / candida / leaky gut / H pylori?? This has a direct cause to cystic acne causing bacteria. - Increased carbohydrate, reduced vegetable consumption during my lunch time meal and stopping taking probiotics (all post-surgery), as helped bad gut bacteria thrive and increase my cystic acne. - A moderate carbohydrate diet results in acne for myself – moderate to high GI. A recent food intake and resultant cystic acne, may help prove this theory – - I had plain Quaker oats, instant oats two nights in a row before bed (Thursday and Friday), then the Saturday I got one of the worst cystic acne spots I have ever had. When I look back through my diet on MyFitnessPal and correlate to my acne flare ups, there seems to be a strong correlation, particularly post-surgery. - As a complete side note, a couple of points; - For a 26 year old male, my libido is very low. I rarely wake up with 'morning wood' etc and random erections are very infrequent. I discussed this with my GP and I had a blood test to test my testosterone levels. The GP stated they would inform me of my results, only if, the results showed anything irregular. They did not contact me. It has been like this for a couple of years. I couldn't certain how long. - When I drink alcohol and go on a night out, my mouth can stay dry and 'claggy' with white salvia for up to 3 days afterwards, I appreciate alcohol dehydrates you but I don't think it is normal at all. Especially when, I can drink up to 5 / 6 litres of water a day. Link to poor gut health? Questions; - Is my current regime, feeding the bad gut bacteria, hence my flatulence? From my research I've heard that introducing cruciferous vegetables and probiotics at the start of a regime to kill bad bacteria is the wrong approach? - Or is the flatulence a result of a change in diet and killing of bad gut bacteria? - Can I stop taking the antibiotics completely immediately? Or is my reduction regime sensible? - Does bad gut health / group A strep infection have any link to low libido? -Lastly, does my theory and current diet regime seem appropriate to make my gut health better and finally , after 10+ years stop my cystic acne? I really hope you can help me and provide some advice. My confidence is at an all-time low, I have spent thousands on different skin care products over the years to try treat my cystic acne, I finally believe I could be on the right track, by trying to increase the amount of good bacteria in my gut and removing the antibiotic use, I just don't understand the flatulence. I did well at trying to keep this brief. Apologises. I look forward to hearing from you. Many thanks Josh Katie: Hi Dr Cabral I am currently one of your wellness clinic patients and active listeners / readers. LOVE YOUR WORK! My question is what is your thoughts on the equalation diet? It claims you can eat whatever you want and be healthy and lose weight? It gets some great results which I struggle to understand given I strongly believe certain foods are not good for you eg. dairy, sugar, processed foods, which all feature on this diet. Really interested to hear your thoughts! Chris: Hi, Do you provide on-line training? I am in Austalia and am looking to change carreer into the health and wellness area and have a great interest in a lot of the information that Dr Cabral provides. I'd really like to learn more so that I could use it in a procatice setting. Thanks, Chris Jamie: Hi there, just finished week one of the CBO protocol. Bloating and constipation seems to be worsening. I've upped vitamin c and magnesium (calm), drink a ton of water, plenty of body movement daily etc. I'm doing the healthy fats too. What do you recommend at this point? I'd already planned on the intestinal cleanse at the midway point but should I stop CBO and do it now or try to hang in there until week 6? I'm doing the nutritional support powder every morning with the blueberry smoothie. I added prune juice to it yesterday out of desperation. I've struggled with this issue for many years and have tried everything it seems, except I've never done an intestinal cleanse. Just looking for some direction as to what to do next. Thanks so much. Devouring the podcasts. ~Jamie Amelia: Hi there! Not sure where to ask this question on what test to get so I am going to lay it out right here! If this is the wrong place, please let me know where I can find it on the website. I am a 23 years old, haven't had a period since 2017 before I took Plan B. For over a year now I have had gut issues...loose stools, constipation, bloating, pain, food sensitivities, etc. In August 2018 (few months ago) I went to a functional medicine doctor who did a blood test on me. Came back with low cortisol, free T3, T4, testosterone, progesterone...and high TSH and thyroid peroxidase. I am now on Adernal Cortex and Nature-throid. My doctor was not worried about my gut problems, I on the other hand am very interested in this subject and am aware of the correlation between gut issues, stress (a whole other story), and health issues. My question is...what should I be doing now? I cannot afford an OAT and Stool test at this moment but I think that is the next big step. I have eliminated so much from my diet yet I still am having gut issues. On top of that I am noticing cold sore like things around the edges of my mouth and my puffy face still seems to be here. Please help! I am a less than rich college student who wants to heal herself and is struggling to get back to my old self! Have a nice day and thank you for reading my message, I am sure you get a ton. Amelia Olivia: Hi there, I've been suffering with serious gut, candida, hormonal and mitochondrial issues over the past two years and am interested in working in Dr. Cabral to try to resolve these health problems. Could you kindly let me know how I should proceed? I look forward to hearing from you!
