962: The 1 Mistake That Is Holding You Back in Life (MM)
This past weekend I had the pleasure of speaking at a high-end conference where over 150 health coaches flew in from all over the world... It was an amazing event and I got to share the stage with some brilliant speakers where I got to listen and learn from... The problem was that there was one speaker that went to present and it went downhill real fast because of one crucial mistake... It's this same type of mistake that is very easily avoidable, but happens more often than most of us care to admit...

961: Least Harmful Alcohol, Mucoid Plaque, Eye Styes, Distention After Meals, IHP Prerequisites, Zombie Energy, Prebiotic Bloating, Child PANDAS (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! Marissa: What types of alcohol are the least harmful on the body? What are the worst types of alcohol? Tim: Could you please do a podcast on muciod plaque and ropeworms. How to eliminate them please? Also your thoughts on mimosa pudica? I am a huge supporter and I listen everyday! Thank you thank you thank you Renae: Hello Dr Cabral, I would love to have your opinion on the cause of recurring eye styes? In the last couple of years I have been experiencing recurring styes along with other skin issues on my face including recurring spots (different to pimples) along the nostrils and sores similar to but not exactly the same as cold sores along the edges of my lips. I would love your advice, thanks so much. Kind regards, Renae Christianne: Hi There! I have two questions. First, I'm looking to purchase your CBD oil that I've heard all about on Dr. Cabrals' podcasts, but I can't find it on the new store's website. Do you have it avaialbe? if not, can you please recommend a reputable brand? Second, I am suffering from some bloating and distention after I eat meals. Can you recommend a protocol to start with to see what's going on in my gut? Thank you! Christianne Jennifer: Dear Dr. Cabral - I just started listening to your podcasts and reading your book, as well as doing your detox. I am a huge fan of your message and very interested in pursuing a career in the field. Two questions...what specific licensing/training hav stout health coaches gone through? Also, you have mentioned you are going to do a training course in September and are doing speaking engagements. Can you provide details on the course and how I can participate and speaking engagements I can attend. I live in Newport Beach CA and would love to promote your products and message locally. Heather: Hello, I'm currently dealing with inflammation, very fatigue, LOW energy, feel like a zoombie, depression and anxiety!! What would be your 100% BEST tips to help overcome this and to get on the road to recovery? I've had to quit my job due to my health issues, so any tips would be AMAZING! I'm about to see an Integrative Health Doctor here in Hamilton, New Zealand so i'm hoping I'll be able to get some answers and can finally start feeling energetic and ALIVE again! Please help! Cheers Laree: Hi Stephen, I came across you via Melissa Ambrosini's recent podcast. I just want to say THANK YOU so much for sharing your story, your knowledge and expertise in this area of health. I resonated with everything you said and held onto every precious nugget you shared. When I have time I want to go back and listen to both podcasts and take notes. I have ordered your book and the books you recommended and I wait with anticipation to devour them. I am a primary school teacher in Hong Kong, originally from New Zealand, but am in the process of transitioning to be a nutrition coach, but over the past few weeks I have changed my mind and wanted to take a holistic approach to health coaching and since listening to your podcasts with Melissa, you confirmed my decision and I now want to be a holistic health coach. I am studying part time, while teaching and now that the summer holidays are coming up I have 6 fabulous weeks to study while taking two holidays, 1 at a wellness retreat in Sri Lanka and 1 in Phuket with my boy friend. On the podcast with Melissa, you mentioned that in the fall you will be opening up a new course. I don't think you went specifically into the content of the course, but I am super keen and passionate about wanting to take your course. I have been researching about functional medicine and Ayurvedic medicine as I am so intrigued and curious and I just want to learn all about it. I am also keen to take one of your tests, Im just not sure which one. I am now vegan, since April and have been reaping all the benefits. My concentration, productivity and energy levels have soared since dropping diary and fish (meditation has helped out a lot also) and am loving life so much more (I've always been a happy, positive person) but since I started to meditate and turned plant based, my life is just so much better!!! In regards to the tests, I get more bloated now that I am plant based, and I guess just to make sure all is ok. Anyway, I just wanted to say thank you so much for everything you have shared and are sharing and I'd love to be put on a waiting list for your new course (if possible). I look forward to your response. Laree Chris: Hi Dr. Cabral, I will keep this short, but I look forward to working with you soon. Your book and podcasts are such a blessing for myself and family. I am learning so much. We are a family of health issues, with my 11 yr old son, the most severe, suffering from PANDAS/ LYME and missed his whole grade 5 year. We struggle everyday as my wife has had to leave her job to care for him. However, it is because of functional, progressive, forward-thinking practitioners like yourself who have been in the trenches and felt this pain that give us immense hope. Thank you for what you do, you inspire me. I know we can figure this out and begin to empty our own overloaded "rain barrels" and begin to heal. We will be in touch.

960: Precursors to Parkinson's, Morning Movements, Fatty Liver Detox, Collagen Support, Alcohol Reaction, Consult on Labs, Parasites, Stomach Discomfort (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: Anonymous: Hi, Dr. Cabral, Thank you for your informative podcasts. What a true service to your listeners! I'm concerned about the effect of work stress on my husband's health. He has a highly demanding job and travels a lot for work. Lately, I've noticed tremors/jerk-like movements while he's asleep. He's had some concerns about numbness to his feet, and he was told it's likely peripheral neuropathy (his grandfather has it too). I've also noticed a mild but noticeable shaking in his hand, but he's quick to dismiss it as nothing. Could these be signs of Parkinson's disease or something else? Should he see a neurologist? And what lab tests might be good for him to get? Please advise... Thank you! Anonymous Kathryn: you speak of your morning movements a lot. Can you do a podcast on specifically what movements you do? I'm assuming they are some type of dynamic stretches and yoga poses but what are they specifically? I love your podcast. Lisa: Hi Dr. Cabral, I have fatty liver due to diabetes. I am wondering if it is safe to use your Detox protocol. I don't want to inadvertently cause more damage to my liver. Thanks so much, Lisa Tara: My mom (who is super into natural health) just referred me to your podcast. I listened to episode 858 and went to order the omega 3 and daily shakes for the daily health of me and my girls (2 and 5 years old). I am also an avid runner who has been battling plantar facitious since January. I added the Advanced Collegen Support into my basket, but thought I should ask if that's the product you'd recommend? Per my doctor's orders, I've been tapping, resting, icing, massaging, and wearing shoes with orthotics all the time (no bare feet) to help combat it, but it's not going away (she also had me take 1 round of oral steroids, which was aweful). multiple bottles of each product, so I'd really like the discount if possible. Georgie: Hi Dr Cabral! I recently found your podcast and have been listening non-stop over the last couple of months. Thank you for sharing all your incredible knowledge - I have learned a TON. I'm hoping that you can shed some light on a random issue I've experienced... Over the last 6 months I've developed an ad-hoc reaction to alcohol. Occasionally, after 1-2 drinks, I develop a splotchy rash on my neck (and sometimes my chin/jaw) and I suddenly find it more difficult to breathe. The weird thing is that it doesn't occur every time I drink (maybe once every 5 times), and it's not tied to one type of alcohol. I've experienced this reaction after drinking red wine, vodka and tequila. Any idea what this could be? Ryan: I took a 24 hour urine organic acids test through Quest Diagnostics and was wondering if you could read the labs and give recommendations? I also had a handful of other tests done such as testosterone, DHEA, serotonin, vit d, thyroid, blood panel and a few others if those would help with the recommendations. If so, what would the cost be? Thanks for the help Ryan Chillia: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge with us , and on many different levels. It is appreciated:) I did submit this to the Facebook support group and received an answer with really the best place to start, as far as getting certain labs done, and potentially becoming one of your private concierge clientst, but I am hoping you could take a bit of time to shed some light for the sake of my friend, who is in the thick of trying to heal herself, just to get a better understanding of what is happening with her body. Here is my best friend's account: "In Oct 2017 I passed a fully intact round worm and was given Mebendazole by my local MD. Shortly after taking the first round of Mebandazole, I started become sick. Fatigue, heavy feeling blood, brain fog, nausea, restless feet, insomnia, dehydration ( drinking 1.5 gallons of water a day), dry cracking tongue, extreme fatigue with any cardio. With Mebendazole, you take the drug twice, but after the second round, I was still passing worms. I was confident that I still had a parasite infection, but stool tests only came back negative, so MD would not prescribe medication. I went to a private clinic out of town that specialized in parasites and was diagnosed with Round Worm and Gardia. For the next two months, I did a parasite treatment from the clinic and redoing tests showed that the parasites were gone. Unfortunately I continued to get sicker to the point I could no longer look after myself. From November to March, I was unable to walk more than a city block. I spent my time in bed and was unable to do simple things like make meals, or bring in firewood. I was aware that some foods were making me incredibly sick ( ending up in the emergency because I lost motor control after drinking a litre of kombucha ) March, I started seeing a naturopath that explained histamine intolerance as well as SIBO. With a serious change in diet, I saw instant results. I could walk a short distance and begin to look after myself. Stool test were sent to Doctor's Data. My results came back with very low beneficial flora. I did not have any of the good flora Escherichia coli or Enteroccus spp, but I had a serious over growth of Alpha hemolytic strep, Beta Strep group B, Citronbacter freundi complex, Gamma hemolytic strep, Kluyvera ascorbate, Pseudomonas chloroaphis, Candida albicans and Candida lustitaniae With these results, I started treatment to replace my good flora and get rid of the bad flora. I have been taking once a day to kill off the bad stuff : 10 drops of grape fruit seed extract, 500mg of grape seed extract, 4 capsules of GI Microb- X (Tribulus 200mg, Magnesium caprylate 150mg, Sweet Wormwood 15mg, Bearberry 100mg, Blackwalnut 100mg, Common bearberry 50mg) Once a day for gut health : chlorophyll 5 drops, Vitamin B- Supreme ( Designs for Health Brand), GI- Revive anti inflamatory ( Designs for Health), 5000Iu Vitamin D3, 2 Tsp Omega 2 with EPA+DHA Twice a day: 25billion cfu Gut Pro Since March, my health has improved dramatically, but I feel that I am at 50 percent of my normal abilities. I cannot walk up a hill or anything cardio and I can not eat anything outside of my limited foods without a histamine flush that can slow me down or put me in bed for the afternoon. I do believe that I have always had a histamine problem. I was two months premature and then as a 11 month old, was hospitalized for Toxoplasma Gondii. I have always had food sensitivities, but boundless energy and good physical strength. I am confident that once I am better, my quality of life will probably be better than it has ever been, I am now looking for guidance on how to refine what I am doing to heal faster." Lucy: Hi there. I am a 21 year old female and I am reaching out because I have dealt with gut & digestive issues for the last 5-10 years. 97% of things I eat immediately cause my stomach discomfort. If the food is unhealthy or full of sugar I usually feel stronger discomfort but I can even drink water too fast and feel discomfort from that as well. I did a food journal for a while and wasn't able to find any consistencies in what bothers my stomach and what doesn't. I have had allergy testing and it all came back negative. I just recently started seeing a gastroenterologist at banner hospital, she started by putting me on Pantaprazol thinking maybe the issue was inflammation in my stomach and that didn't help at all. I am scheduled to take a barium swallow test and see my gastroenterologist again next week for her to review my results. I think a naturopathic approach would be a lot more successful for me, as I would like to stay away from anti-biotics and surgeries if possible. I am looking forward to hearing back from you! Natalia: Hi. In one of the podcast it was mentioned about health/nutrition certifications that the Dr has recommended but can't find them when i search. Could you guide me in the right direction? Also it was mentioned that he was coming up with his own certification i would like info on that please!!!!

The modern day medical research of toxicology has proven without a shadow of a doubt how poisonous our environment is… However, even 6000 years ago they already knew the significance of how everyday toxins affect our body… They also knew that unless these toxins are regularly and systematically removed from the body they are what create disease...

957: The Cortisol + Blood Sugar + Inflammation + Weight Gain Connection (WW)
In a world that glamorizes the medical specialist we often times miss the answers that are disabling people from getting well, losing the weight, or feeling alive... What we need are more "generalists" that can see how the body is interconnected - Every organ affects the next and without this "wholistic" knowledge a true "cure" can never be found... You don't fix imbalances by masking the symptoms with drugs - All that does is give you the false belief that you are well again... The issue with that is within months or years a new set of symptoms will arise that are a new sign something is imbalanced - You can then choose to mask those as well and drive the root cause deeper down, or you can break the cycle and begin to heal... The choice is yours and on today's #CabralConcept 957 I want to show you how stress/cortisol + blood sugar + inflammation + weight gain are all connected (and how to rebalance them) - Enjoy the show! - - - Specific Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/957 - - - 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.

955: How to Own Your Shortcomings & Turn Them into Strengths (MM)
Our culture has brainwashed us since we were children into somehow believing that when we succeed it is because of our own doing, but when we fail it is always someone else's fault... With a media-driven message like this it is really no wonder why we have generations of adults not wanting to accept their shortcomings... What happens then is that they are left with the inability to change their current circumstances due to being in denial of what that would mean...

954: Iron Levels, Ear Lobe Crease, Peeling Hands & Feet, PMLE, Incorrect Gut Protocols, Shortness of Breath, Prioritizing Supplements, Dyspepsia (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: I am curious about your thoughts on iron levels. I don't recall hearing you ever talk about it on the podcast. A few months ago I thought I had mono - I had all the classic symptoms. Though I didn't check my blood work I started taking iron and felt much better. My doctor said I was most likely anemic as I was a vegetarian at the time. What are your thoughts on iron levels as it relates to mood, energy etc? Vivian; After listening to your podcast on signs that a disease is coming , i got really concerned cause my husband showed one , very clearly - the diagonal crease on ear lob - His mom passed in 2010 at age of 60 , suddenly from heart disease they never knew she had. After that , in 2011 , he did a full scan and all showed fine. I told him about the podcast and forced him to do it over....we just got a call from the doctor , saying that he has the early stage of a heart disease...that one one of the markers that in 2011 came as zero, came as a 4 now and his red blood cells are kind of "sticky" and can result in heart problems if he doesn't eat right and follow the recommendations. Since i met him , over 2 years ago, his diet has changed completely, i thought him how to eat and all i have learned about nutrition. He finished a doctor Cabral 7 days detox couple weeks ago. Please , what are your recommendations ( what to avoid and what to supplement with) so we can do our best to have him with us for many ,many, years?? I appreciate your help and all you do. Suzanne: Hello Stephen! Thank you for all the wonderful work you do in the healing world! My question involves a few different sicknesses I've accumulated over the last year. Last year during a stressful teaching stint I was diagnosed with an Epstein Bar (Glandular Fever) relapse, despite having the condition in my late teenage years. (I am now 25 years old.I suffered with a chronic sore throat initially which turned into fatigue, muscle aches and peeling fingers and toes. After changing a huge amount of my lifestyle and stress I have helped things but still suffer from the sore throat every few days, fatigue and constant peeling of my fingers and toes. (Despite many coconut oil applications I can't seem to stop the peeling) On a side note: I have travelled a lot (and did get bitten by a tick in Nepal.) I have been on far too many antibiotics (If only I knew) and did go on a course of Roaccutane for three months. I was also vegan for almost four years in an attempt for perfect health which has since changed since the long absence of my period. My sickness also began when I was vegan. I now eat a small amount of meat including salmon, organic chicken and kangaroo which has fixed my hormones. (Still no dairy, eggs and limited gluten.) BUT Despite my best efforts I'm still fatigued and working part time as a result with peeling fingers and a sore throat most of the time) I believe I will get there I just need a little help and advice. Thank you for all the work you do in this field. The path to wellness in the best gift you could give. Elizabeth: Hi Dr Cabral, I don't think you have done a podcast on this but I was wondering if there is anything you would specifically recommend for PMLE? I have read online that Shirudo AGR+E lotion is good but I wondered if there is also anything else or any supplements that would help (and/or potentially reverse) this? It may help to mention, I believe I have hypothyroidism (which I am naturally treating the past year or so) and that I have changed my sunscreen various times (minor PMLE occurs with each different sunscreen brand; I am also trying to find a natural sunscreen). The PMLE type reaction is relatively minor and has only started to happen the last couple of years. Last summer vacation I had a minor reaction on my arms, legs/ankles and chest and this vacation this past week (mid-June) I had it only on my hands, knees, feet and partly on my collarbone/upper chest. It's not immediate, it seems to take a few days to occur. I remain out of the sun when it does, although using more sunscreen does not help. Not sure if reaction on different areas of the body signifies anything? I am from London, where we don't get much sun. Perhaps there is a relation with thyroid but it would be useful to know what may help it going forward and what may have caused it. I am going away again soon so I did contact your support email in hope for a earlier response but they directed me to ask cabral, however hopefully this may help some others... Thank you so much for you and your podcasts! Andrea: My 25 yr old daughter has had gut issues for years and has been to many dr,'s but still no relief. She was then diagnosed with Hashimotos and thyroid cancer and had her thyroid removed 12/2016. She now also has psoriasis. She now see's a local Functional medicine dr here in STL who has been trying to help her. She tried a candida cleanse late last year but still has gut pain. She is gluten free and has done food allergy tests that show mild allergy to yogurt but that's it. She decided to do a GI Map and here are the things that seem off:Enterotoxigenic E. coli LT/ST 1.19e6 High; Normal Bacterial Flora; Bacteroides fragilis 8.8e8 Low; Bifidobacterium spp. 1.6e10; Enterococcus spp. 5.7e6; Escherichia spp. 7.9e5 Low; Lactobacillus spp. 2.6e6; Clostridium spp. 9.66e4; Enterobacter spp. 1.69e5 Low; Phyla Microbiota Result; Bacteroidetes 1.94e10 Low; Firmicutes 7.87e9 Low; Firmicutes:Bacteroidetes Ratio 0.40; Additional Dysbiotic/Overgrowth Bacteria Result Normal; Bacillus spp. 2.71e4; Enterococcus faecalis Don: 88 year old life long asthmatic now with COPD. Shortness of breath with any exertion. Now using oxygen which helps some during those times, not needed other than that. Have tried most of the inhalers with little or no relief. Trying to exercise more. Help ????? Justin: Dr. Cabral, I am a current college student and am on a tight budget. My health is my priority, but I am also on a budget. My money basically goes towards school, food, and supplements. I was wondering if you had some tips for what to prioritize my spending on in terms of food and supplements specifically. Do you have any recommendations of staple foods and essential supplements? Thanks! Carlos Ruiz: I was diagnosed with H pylori in January and went thru triple therapy in February. I am still experiencing symptoms and want to take healthy belly to help eradicate the h pylori for good. What changes in diet should I make to eradicate it, and what should be servings of healthy belly. According to the gastro I'm suffering from dyspepsia due to h pylori.

953: Pregnancy Detox, Gout Advice, Irritability Supplement, Watermelon Diet, Allergic Eyes, Children Gut Issues, Supplement Labels, Skincare (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: Jess: Hi Dr Steve! love your podcasts and i have already gotten so much information form them! really great what you are doing for the community. I am currently pregnant and have always had trouble with acne. i know i cant do any detoxes while pregnant, but wondering what i could do while pregnant to help lessen the acne. i have not really had a time in my life that it has gotten better, i have eliminated different foods however not had significant improvements, however maybe didn't remove them for a long enough period? the acne is both small bumps (that are always there) but also large pimples that eventually come to a head (probably get one new one each day) mainly on my cheeks (occasionally on my chin) i eat mostly plant based, sometimes have the occasional fish, i take zinc & vit C supplements, i am relatively active as i have a toddler to chase around, and also don't think i am overly stressed out person. Hope you can help! thank you again so much! Gary: Hello!! I have had a few cases of gout in my foot and am wondering what your best advice is for how to treat it and even better, how to avoid it. I do follow a diet according to my food sensitivities after taking a food sensitivity test. Any help you can give is appreciated!! Kennedy: Hello! Thank you for answering my question. I suffer from monthly irritability. I do take B complex vitamins and that has most definite helped but I still notice peak times of the month when the irritability is worse than others. I've been told I do have low estrogen. Is there a protocol that you suggest to help balance hormones or supplement support to help with moodiness and irritability? Thanks so much in advance! Laimute: Hello, What is your opinion about 1 day detox of eating only watermelons? And also how much water would you recommend to drink daily? I'm 29 years old, my weight is 110lb (50kg). Thank you Laimute Judy: Hi Dr. Cabral! Thank you for all you do for your patients and listeners. I began your 21 day detox early in the year followed by your candida protocol. I also completed your Thyroid/Adrenal test and spoke to your wonderful health coach, Julia. I was surprised to learn how low my estrodial was (as low as the test measures) as I always thought my acne issues were due to an estrogen dominance but that was not the case. While wrapping up the gut sealing protocol, I am also currently following the plan discussed taking your nutrition support shake, vitamin D, vitamin C, 5mg DHEA, and adrenal soothe. I also started the 7 day detox because I could feel my "rain barrel" filling up (swollen tongue, tender skin the next day, etc.) with recent bad food choices. My questions is in regards to chronic bloodshot eyes. I have suffered with red eyes for over 10 years and took Visine for years to try to cover it up and then my eye doctor tried to prescribe me a dry eye medicine that I declined. I am currently not taking anything for my eyes but cannot bear the look of my chronic bloodshot eyes. I do suffer from seasonal allergies but my eyes are red regardless of whether or not my other allergy symptoms are there. What do you recommend I do to clear up this issue once and for all? Ashley: I am looking to apply for treatment for my 6 year old daughter. Zoey was diagnosed with Pandas in Oct of 2018 and after 8 months of treatment it has shifted to Pans and we are still trying to figure out what he trigger is for her. Through spectra cell testing and observing her symptoms her pediatrician suspects that she has a leaky gut and we have to make healing the gut a priority. We have started a gluten free diet and a protocol that should help heal her gut but she had a reaction to it after a few days. We are desperate for a new treatment plan as her Pans symptoms are at an all time high and we just want to help our little girl get better. Please let me know how I can have her considered for treatment, I truly believe we are missing pieces to her puzzle but that she can be healed! Riannan: Greetings Dr. Cabral & Team! I first heard you on Melissa Ambrosini's podcast and since then I have been listening to yours as well. To keep it brief, I am soon to be 42 and have been living with Hashimoto's for over half of my life. I'm currently on one grain of Nature-throid. I also take adrenal support, magnesium and a handful of other supplements. Overall I am in pretty good health, but I know it could be better. There were even a few years that, without my doing anything specific, I was able to be completey off any thyroid meds. That was before the onset of anxiety and panic attacks (which are much better now, but still not completely gone). In a nutshell, I eat quite healthy (organic, GF, not a lot of processed food) and take some supplements, but I still struggle with low energy sometimes and bloating/constipation. And anxiety - mostly a fear of being trapped. If I was able to be off of thyroid meds before, I would love to get there again and I would love to experience stronger digestion and to know that I'm actually assimilating what I'm taking in. I love that you have a background in so many different healing traditions. I would like to know what tests you would recommend I start with from your site so that I can really zero in on what the very best health routine looks like for me at this moment. I normally do a thyroid panel including TSH, T3 Uptake, T4 and Free T4. I am able to do this test for $100, so if those would be tests you also use and I could schedule a consult to have you read the results, that would be great. Please advise on the best way to get started with you and your team given everything above. I currently live in AZ. Thank you! Riannan Ari: What should we look for when buying supplements? What makes you recccomend a brand other than your own? ( in terms of ingredients etc) how can we determine what's a high quality supplement and what is low quality? Anonymous: Do you have any suggestions for scaring? In terms of topical / dietary changes? I realize this is a bit off topic but I'm just curious. Btw Your wife should do a podcast on skincare!!
