1010: Mentoring, Kapha Fruit Diet, Iodine Dosing, High Platelet Count, Dead Leftovers, Pyruvate Kinase (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! Affton: Hello! My husband is a huge fan of Dr. Cabral. He listens to his podcast every single day (and has been for more than a year now) and has completely changed his lifestyle to follow all of Dr. Cabral's recommendations on the information that he provides, as well as that of myself and our children. My husband refers many people to his podcast and website, and shares the information that he provides every chance that he gets. He is a dentist in Missouri and has become increasingly interested in incorporating more treatment options that functional medicine would agree with, as he greatly trusts Dr. Cabral's advice, knowledge, and experience. I know this may be a long shot, but thought it would be worth asking. Does Dr. Cabral ever schedule to meet with anyone just to discuss the work he does and exchange ideas and information, since he is a wealth of knowledge? More of a laid back conversation, like over lunch or dinner in person, or even FaceTime or Skype? My husband would absolutely love to meet Dr. Cabral, and although I'm sure he is beyond busy, I thought I would reach out and ask, just incase this is something that he does. Thank you so much in advance for your time and consideration. Lisa: Hi Dr. Cabral! It has been a long time since I have asked a question here on your podcast. I did ask this question in the facebook group, however, I didn't really get a good answer. I'm hoping you are able to answer my question more in depth. I am without a doubt a kapha bodytype. You posted a picture of Kelly Brook's, and she could be my twin! I have her hair, face shape, eyes, nose, lips, arms, bust, waist, hips and thighs! I have done the 14 day detox and your CBO protocol. Although I am feeling better, I still struggle to lose weight. I need to lose 25 pounds to be heathier. I eat very clean, all organic, drink only water or green juices (never fruit juice). I tried Keto and felt the adrenaline rush, but mentally did not feel good on that diet. I was strict Keto too (high fat and kept carbs under 25). I have been practicing IF for the last year as well. My body does not want to release fat at all, and I'm really getting frustrated. I recently decided to stop IF and to just practice a 80/10/10 RAW Vegan diet. I am eating very high carbs (all from fruits like bananas, watermelon and mangos). I am no longer restricting myself and for the first time, I am actually feeling great! I have endless energy and feel very joyful. Why am I losing weight with high carbs if I am a classic Kapha body type? I feel like I am eating more now than I have ever ate before. Thank you for all your help! My husband is ordering the 5 labs for myself as a gift, and I can not wait to get the results! For the last year I have been on your daily greens/DNS and probiotic support....LOVE them all! Thank you!! Chelsea: Hello, I am interested in getting my constitution confirmed as I have listened to your podcasts and still a little confused about what mine is Thank you Holly: Hi Dr. Cabral, I love your podcast. I have been listening to it for the past month now and it has helped me and my husband so much. I was wondering what your opinion on iodine is. How many milligrams a day do we need of this? I am a vegan, and I'm worried that I do not have enough of this in my diet. I don't use iodized salt, can I get it from other Foods? I have heard that it's in seaweed, but that also many of the seaweed products sold have arsenic in them. What do you think? Sophie: Dr. Cabral, My mom has a high platelet count, in the 600-800k range. She is in her 60s, and her Dr. has recommended she goes on hydroxyurea. She doesn't want to to take the drugs, and I'm hoping you can shed some light on what causes high platelet count or some tests and or/protocol she can do to potentially avoid taking the drug. Jacqueline: Hi Dr Cabral! There are no words for the gratitude and respect I have for all you are doing. I am trying to dive deeper into the ways of Ayurveda and am also currently combating bacteria/yeast overgrowth, hormonal imbalance, etc. Currently finishing yoru 14 day detox and starting the CBO plan but have a question for you. Due to inflammation and histamine reactions as well as wanting to follow Ayurveda more closely to aid in healing my body, I can not tolerate and am trying to avoid reheating foods, meal prepping or eating leftovers. All those years of paleo meal prepping when I was in the fitness industry and I had NO idea I was eating "dead" food that was possibly adding toxins into my gut?! I would prep for five days out at some points. On that note I also can not (for some time now) tolerate raw foods/salads without paying for it for several day due to my gut health being so compromised. I pray, hope and look forward to the days of being healed and free of all of this, but I find myself stressing over what to eat where I have never had a problem with this before. What would you advise someone that works outside of the home to do for meals during working hours? I am at a loss? The cafeteria where I work has very limited healthy options aside from a salad bar. There are no cafe/restaurants near by. I am a busy RN and only get 30 min for lunch. I do not want to only have shakes on work days if I can avoid it but is this my only option? I would love your opinion and value it greatly. It's also not possible for me to cook hot food and put it directly into a thermos before work because as of now I get up at 445am , commute one hour and ten min to work and start at 6 30 am. It wouldn't be feasible. Thank you again for all you do. Appreciate your guidance. Forever grateful, Jacqueline Jenna: Hi Dr. Cabral! Love your show and everything you do! I'm writing in on behalf of my boyfriend who has a pyruvate kinase enzyme deficiency with hemochromatosis (sorry that's a mouthful). He's changed his diet to include foods lower in iron and has pretty much eliminated his red meat consumption. He's also changed his lifestyle to routinely going to the gym 4-5 times per week. He used to take medication to keep the condition under control, but because this disease is so rare and the medication has many side effects, he has found more natural and alternative ways to keep himself feeling healthy. My question is, what else can he do to keep himself from slipping into the liver pain and severe inflammation he sometimes feels when symptoms flare up? What can he do to help himself feel healthy all the time? Any advise is appreciated! Thanks so much!

1009: PreNatal Vitamins, Seed Cycling, BP Up, Sleep Stimulator, Split Training, Extreme Fatigue, Bowel Movement Dysfunction (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: Taylor: How do I find out more information about the "Wellness Coaching" Dr. Cabral said he is releasing this Fall? I'm interested in that course, where he teaches you how to heal others. I can't find it on the website though. Stephanie: I was wondering if there is anyway to buy the prenatal vitamins with dha by itself and not with the iron supplements? Judy: Hi Dr. Cabral! I enjoy listening to your podcasts. Can you share your thoughts on seed cycling to improve hormones? Does it work? If so, can you explain the best approach? Keven: In November of 2016 I weighed 317 pounds, and was on the standard fat person prescription protocol. In February 2017, I received Type 2 Diabetes news. My dentist suggested plant food diet. I began eating 90% of my diet at Laney&Lu's in Exeter NH--plug them as often as I can. Fast forward to March 2018. I was down to 211. Diet only. Began working out twice a week, walking 8 miles twice a week, and went off the tracks. I had great success with the food, but I did experience constipation, and bloating very often. I am 62, and close to retirement. Job stress is up, as is BP. Back on BP meds only. Somewhere around May I felt the self sabotage setting in. Just read RBE--my dentist suggested--and bells and whistles are going off. Am I to old for your program. Dustin: As an elementary school teacher, I experience a lot of stress and anxiety that has effected my ability to sleep through the night (latency is not an issue). In order to address this, I have started to use a Fisher Wallace Stimulator, which is a form cranial electrotherapy stimulation, for 20 minutes in the evening. If I eat well (my nutrition is great), and address toxicities and deficiencies, do you see this as a helpful/positive health practice? Interested in your perspective on the Fisher Wallace Stimulator in general. Thank you! Ellie: Hi, I'd love to hear your opinion on a training split involving power/explosive workouts! I want to train for power and explosiveness more. I currently have a deadlift day and a squat day (both are full body workouts) and another day that is for MFT training (a third full body workout focused on conditioning). Aside from those 3 days, I have a 4th day when I do hill sprints with a 1:3 work/rest ratio. Could I train for power on hill sprint day, and if so, should I do the hill sprints first or the power workout first? By power workout, I mean doing exercises such as power cleans while sticking to a 1:3 work rest ratio to allow for quality/explosive reps. I am a personal trainer who loves daily movement and your podcasts are such an inspiration to me! I am amazed at your knowledge and your approach to helping others. Thanks so much for caring about the world and everyone in it. Natalie: Hi! I have heard Dr. Cabral mention a certification class he's teaching multiple times. I was wondering how I can get some more information on it! Thank you! Natalie Bell: My dearest friend is experiencing extreme fatigue more in the morning but 3/7 days of the week he says the extreme fatigue lasts all day not even naps will help. He cut out when carbs when he was trying to lose weight 3 years ago, now when has carbs he feels his glucose spike 15-20, 30 minutes after he eats then CRASHES. He exercises regularly (swim, yoga, boxing, biking, lifting) and moves his body every day. He sleeps 7 hrs /night which he says his sleep quality isn't great. He has tried to manipulate his diet every few weeks, especially his breakfast (plain oats, cooked kale and broccoli, eggs, bullet coffee, fasting, meat) Smoothies in the morning he will feel exhausted like he needs to go to sleep right away stating the protein breaks down too quickly (he's 28, 140lbs, He says if he drives after lunch he will nod off. His sensitivity is increasing, he was not like this 5 years ago. He says he thinks it might be from coffee so his next adjustment will be elimination of caffeine. (cortisol connection?) "Sometimes not even coffee will wake me up" Where should we start? Do you think adding something like Berberine? Adrenal test? He's tried thyroid support and a glucose stabilizer. I'm rocking out the CBO protocol! Aloha and mahalo from O'ahu! Shari: I ordered the Food Sensitivity Test early spring. I purchased two tests and gave one to my sister. I took the test and mailed it on July 1 from Port Falls Idaho Fed Ex drop spot. I have not heard anything regarding the test results. I am concerned the test never reached you. Naturally, I cannot find the shipping label. What should I do? thank you. Tammy: Hi Dr. Cabral, I have a bit of a TMI question: I have regular bowel movements - one "big" normal one in the morning, and one or two "smaller" and more runny ones during the day. However, I have a feeling that my bowels never fully empty. I also need to pass the wind very often, and sometimes a little bit of fecal matter comes out. Do you think this is a pelvic floor disfunction, or something that has to do with my gut flora? Thanks so much for your help!

1004: Be Careful of How You Set Your Intentions (MM)
When I first learned about the "Law of Attraction" I thought it was a lot of "hocus pocus..." But then I started to read more about it and how this type of setting of intentions had been practiced for thousands of years and even spoken about in every major religion... However, I didn't find it to work very well in my life until I discovered some of the intricacies that aren't talked about in mainstream writing...

1003: Hiatal Hernia Mystery, Bowel Resection, Supplement Confusion, NDs in Canada, Canned vs. Farmed Salmon, Hemolytic Anaemia, Bed Wetting, Citracidal Drops (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! Eliana: Hello, I would first like to say that I absolutely love your Podcasts and everything you have taught me thus far! I am a 21 year old personal trainer who is extremely interested in natural health and this podcast has changed my world! I have been struggling with a hiatal hernia for years. It feels like something is pressed up against my diaphragm or sometimes my left rib cage (it switches between those 2 places so sometimes I wonder if my diaphragm is out rather than it being a hiatal hernia). I have received chiropractic treatment for this and while the manual adjustment of pushing it back into place does help, it does not last. My mom, grandma, and twin sister also struggle with this. I had lymes disease 3-4 years ago (so did mom and sister) and was treated with a combination of homeopathy, Chinese herbs and glandulars by a lymes specialist in Maine. Also had H pylori and Epstein bar and was treated for those coinfections as well. Since then I feel great, had a feeling of relapse a year ago and cut out all food sensitivities. I feel great again but my hiatal hernia comes and goes in long phases. It is back now and I have not noticed any pattern to when it comes and goes. It causes me extreme stress and anxiety, especially at night. Also causes bloat. I have eaten extremely healthy (organic Whole Foods) since I was born thanks to my parents, and I pay attention to deficiencies, eat 3 meals a day, have a smoothie in the morning, fast for 12-13 hours, etc. I also exercise 5 days a week (lifting, cardio, mobility work, etc) and avoid crunching movements due to the hernia. I take zinc, B12, D3, and am a pescatarian/gluten, dairy, corn free, no processed foods, no antibiotics, don't eat late at night, don't overeat, eat tons of veggies and fruit. Please let me know what you know and suggest regarding hiatal hernias. Thank you so much! Christie: Good morning. Sorry for the long post but I'm hoping you can help. My mom started with diverticulosis in 2007 and in 2012 it became "moderate" diverticulitis. It got continually worse and then in 2017 she had a bowel resection done. They removed a foot of her colon. Ever since then she has dealt with horrible gas and constipation. She just had endoscopy done a few weeks ago because she felt like things weren't passing through and the doctor said her stomach was red and inflamed but she does not have h. pylori. She also has Gastroparesis. The doctor then put her on Zantac two times a day for 4 weeks and Miralax at night. She also takes the Beachbody digestive boost. Her doctor has also mentioned putting her on Linzess. She can't afford testing because my parents are retired and on a limited income so I'm wondering if you think doing a certain protocol would help her without testing first. Can you recommend anything? I would appreciate any suggestions. I'm not happy with how things are going for her and really want to see her healthy again. Laura: Hi I have a couple of questions. I have only been listening for around a month so I may have just missed this. I haven't heard dr Cabral talk much about beans and legumes, is the a reason why hey aren't recommended or not at the top of the list! I'm primarily veggie and eat a lot of veg, however I do like to add lentils, beans or chickpeas to my food to add in protein and other nutrients! I was just interested to find out what your take is on this. Also, I'm going to start a naturopath nutritional therapy course in the UK next month so maybe I will find all this out for myself. However I have taken nutritional supplements before and I use to really be bought into juicing detoxing. However I have read various things that suggests that a supplements can actually shorten your life and aren't as good as they seem. Also taking butrioanl shakes with condensed nutrients can actually be difficult for your body to digest all at once. For example you would eat a whole meal in a few minutes, therefore how is it ok for your body to process nutritional supplement shakes in such a short amount of time! Thanks Laura Katherine: Hi there, I'm from Windsor, Ontario, Canada and I'm wondering if there is a ND over here that you would recommend? I have benefits through my work that would cover my appointments so that's why I was wondering if Dr. Cabral would recommend someone over here? Thank you so much for your time, Katherine Meg: Hi Stephen, Being located in Australia, I don't have easy access to wild salmon as all Australian salmon is farmed. Therefore I wanted your advice in regards to the best salmon choices. Would you recommend consuming wild tinned salmon over fresh farmed salmon? Is tinned salmon equally as nutritious? Renae: Hello Dr Cabral, My Mum was diagnosed with hemolytic anaemia a couple of years ago and has been taking pharmaceutical medication daily to manage this. We both believe that there must be a way of finding the root cause and getting to the bottom of it so that she can feel well and be medication free again. Other symptoms she experiences separate from the anaemia are under active thyroid, osteo arthritis, IBS, foggy brain and really bad memory loss. She is only 62. She has tried to improve on things like diet to help herself and has seen a naturopath briefly but has not seen a change in her blood levels or other symptoms. I gratefully discovered your work a few months ago and I am very hopeful that with your advice on what labs she should run and where to start that she can finally find her path to wellness again. In the meantime I have given her a copy of your book. I did write in to your team who recommended the HTMA and OAT (thank you team :)), however given this is not a common auto immune condition I just wanted to be sure if there were any other recommendations you would make. Huge gratitude for your work. Warmest regards, Renae. Julie: Do you have any protocols to address nighttime bed wetting in children? I have read that there may be imbalances or constipation that could cause this, but my pediatrician says it's normal for boys and he will likely outgrow the issue (6 yr old boy) I have 3 children, 2 no longer had night time issues once potty trained and did not have to be "taught" to make it through the night. Thank you for your insight. I have learned so much from your podcasts already! Julie Brittany: What are gse Citracidal drops?

1002: Breast Implants, Chronic Fatigue, Gastroparesis, Methane Gas, Dry Itchy Skin, Health Coaching Certification, Hidden Stress, Red Marks (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: Chloe: Hi Dr Cabral. My question is about the increasing information about breast implant illness. I have had breast implants for nearly 6 years. I have gained weight in this time and I have been increasingly feelings less "vital". The weight gain could be due to me changing from a very physical job to an extremely sedentary job. My question is have you seen "breast implant illness" in your practice before? I have seen a lot of people on Facebook claiming to be healed once their implants were removed and losing weight and inflammation. They show before surgery and after surgery of their face looking completely different from inflamed to healthy in just a couple of hours after surgery. Can you lab test for silicone in the body? Do you think this is a thing? Or could I just be feeling this way due to toe rainbarrel effect and it could have nothing to do with my implants at all? Thanks in advance and thank you for all the incredible work you do! Diana: Hello! I've had Chronic Fatigue Syndrome for 22 years and I'm a bit confused by the terms you use to refer to the ailment. I always thought CFS, CFIDS, and ME were different terms that referred to the same syndrome. However, you seem to use them to refer to different levels of severity. Could you explain why and what the differentiation between them are? Thanks for answering. I love your podcast and am binging on past episodes, but getting through everything seems like a Sisyphean task. I'm not complaining, though; at least I know I'll never run out of episodes to listen to. Best, Diana Mary: Hi there, A friend of mine has been talking about some of Dr. Cabral's recommendations and it sounds interesting. I was wondering where I could find more information on Dr. Cabral's naturopathic recommendations? Thank you! Mary Kay Sean: Hi, My friend just got diagnosed with gastroparesis after numerous tests and visits to the doctor. I'm wondering if you had more information that i can pass along to her that will help her. thanks! Shantal: I did a huge battery w/ a naturopathic doctor here in SF (SIBO test and GI effects test). I came up with slightly elevated levels of methane gas, high levels of yeast, and low levels of beneficial bacteria. The doctor suggested 2 rounds of primarily homeopathic/herbal meds with 1 antibiotic. I've not taken them yet as I feel I want more direction and guidance than what was given. I've been listening to Dr. Cabral's podcast for months and am curious about working with anyone in his practice. I don't want to do those tests again (eek) but do need more direction from here onward. I went to Europe for a month(just returned last night) and did not have ANY of the inflammation that I do here in the US but my skin was irritated by either the dairy, meat, or heat. Clearly I have much I need guidance on. How do I find more about this, the process to work with someone, and if it's all virtually done (I'm in San Francisco). Thank you and be well... Allison: Hi Stephen! I was hoping to get some information on hormone imbalance. I recently turned 30 and all of a sudden I am noticing a huge change in my skin. Very dry and itch. Especially my face and scalp. We live in the south and have lots of humidity so I feel like this isn't just because of dry air. My periods have also recently changed. More painful cramps and it's now 5 or 6 days instead of 4. I'm wondering if these symptoms could be a change of hormones and if I should get tested for a hormone imbalance. Do you do anything like that? Any help is much appreciated! Julie: Can I get information about signing up for this September's health coaching certification? Also, are there appointments available with one of the coaches to help me determine my dosha body type? Thank you, I have been enjoying listening to podcasts and am learning much. Julie Kristen: Hi Dr. Cabral, Love your podcast and all the content. I am currently reading The Rain Barrel Effect right now and love that too. I do have a question for you that I cannot seem to get to the bottom of. I currently live in San Francisco, CA but I am originally from Portland, OR. Every single time I go home to Portland (5-6 times a year), the weirdest thing happens. I get SO extremely tired, fatigued, major brain fog and sometimes anxiety. It baffles me because when I go home I eat pretty much the same way I would when I am in SF, drink lots of water, drink the same amount of coffee, work out the same etc. I do get more sleep when I go to Portland (catch up on sleep) so I may be getting 9-10 hours instead of 6-8, but usually when I am in SF I'll catch up on sleep at least one night on the weekend as well and I don't feel this way. It feels as if there is literally something in the water that's making me feel this way (I did some research - SF has fluoride in the water while Portland does not so not sure if that would make a difference at all?!?) Any suggestions or thoughts? Thank you! Kristen Katherine: Hi Dr. Stephen, Thank you for all you do and the wealth of knowledge you produce in your podcasts! I have a friend who has super sensitive skin. She gets red marks wherever you touch her and it will last a while (over 10 mins). Is this a lack of calcium? What can she do?
