The Cabral Concept

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…   Sally: Hi doctor Cabral, what are your to tips for treating slow gut motility? My meals digest super slowly, even if I leave 4-5 hours between them, and it causes uncomfortable bloating. Thanks so much for your answer, really appreciate it!   Anonmous: Hi Dr Cabral, it seems that I am having a severe form of gerd. For about 3 years Ive had a persistent gnawing , sometimes burning pain around my sternum area so bad that i believe my vagus nerve has become inflamed. I occasionally get brain zap sensations akin to ssri withdraw, which may be due to vague nerve inflammation, but not sure. Anyway, it seems im finding relief for the first time using US based gaviscon. Im switching to UK based as US has aluminum, but the relief has been incredible. The UK ingredients are sodium alginate and pottasium hydrogen carbonate. What do you think of this medication for long term? I have tried many other natural solutions including healthy belly but it seems that this medication is giving life altering relief so far. Thanks   Nana: Hi Dr. Cabral and team! I recently realized i have parasites and i am taking plant paradox protocol. So scared they will come back. Whats the best way to prevent another parasitic infection? Also, i am sensitive to lectins but heard fermentation reduces lectin content. If i make fermented milk with A1 milk instead of A2 milk, would it still have lectins? Finding conflicting information online.   Elsa: What are your thoughts on heated/electric blankets? I get cold easily and use it nearly every night to help me fall asleep. I also have anxiety and the heat helps calm me in anxious moments. The blanket I use is low EMF and turns off after 2 hours but I still can’t help but worry that this may have long term risks if using every night. Would love your feedback, thanks!   Jamie: Dr. Cabral. Love your work. Changed my life! Also loving HPH. On a recent podcast you indicated that you are supplementing with Berberine and mentioned all of the benefits. My question is, is there any concern with Berberine suppressing muscle protein synthesis when taken on a regular basis?   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 and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2977 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

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:    Jami: Dr. Cabral, I look forward to your podcasts daily, and the functional medicine research that you provide. I am a registered dietitian and have clients asking about GHK copper peptide patches. There is a company called "Livewave" that sells small patches, and claims to use phototherapy and accupuncture within the patches, to trap infrared energy when placed on the body. I suspect just an MLM to be researched with discernment but have you discussed this at some point? I know you talk some of red light and infrared therapies, but can you tell me what is the most researched phototherapy, and whether or not to your knowledge, these patches would even have logic behind them? Thank you so much for your help.   Alexia Hi Dr. Cabral! Been working with your team a few months now and just want to thank you all for helping me get back to normal after my ectopic pregnancy and balancing my hormones. I wanted to ask your thoughts on the Rhogam shot they are telling me I will have to get in my future pregnancies because of my blood type being Negative and my husband positive. I am not wanting to do this and have been really stressed about it. Any advice? Other options? I understand this is not medical advice. Thanks again so much!!   Brittany: My 7 year old son is going to have heart surgery to repair an advanced ASD. How would you prepare your child for surgery - diet, supplements, etc and same for post op. Thank you sooo much for everything you do.   Daniel: I experience nearly daily migraines and have actively engaged with your practice, attentively listening to all of your podcasts. I've undergone numerous tests and focused on rectifying specific deficiencies. However, the challenge I face is that no matter which supplements I attempt, my migraine symptoms worsen. This issue extends beyond just supplements; it includes foods, and pharmaceuticals as well, even those prescribed for migraine prevention (BP, Triptans, etc), which I try to avoid. My primary concern revolves around addressing these deficiencies while working within my limitations. I've restricted my dietary choices based on histamine content and sensitivities, so I'm seeking guidance on how to manage deficiencies effectively when any sort of intake increases the pain.   Ryan: I was wondering if you could answer some questions about your Detox protocol and intestinal cleanse compared to another brand that a friend recommended to me, ZenCleanz. Do you know anything about their products and how are they different and/or similar to what you offer? I follow Mind Pump and trust the information they put out and the work you are doing. Just looking for clarification on the detox space as I've never done one before. Is there more than one way to skin a cat in terms of products and protocols or does your product to something more than say ZenCleanz products do? I'm just confused and want to get a product that's safe, effective and reasonably priced as there's a lot of over priced nonsense in the health space these days. Thank you for your time.     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!    - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2976 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

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…   Anonymous: Hi Dr.Cabral, Thank you so much for taking the time to answer listener questions every week! A little over a year ago I had a vaginal delivery with forceps. At my six week checkup I was not completely healed and asked to come back another two weeks later. This went on until I was six months postpartum, every time having silver nitrate applied to the scar tissue. At six months postpartum it was finally suggested I have a procedure done where I would go under anesthesia and have the doctor remove all the granulation tissue. My question to you is there anything I could I have done to help my body heal better and avoid that situation? I already take the DNS, zinc, D, omega and probiotic. Thanks again for all you do.   Justin: What are your thoughts on permethrin and insectashield clothing. What are the best natural mosquito and tick repellents? I’ve heard geranium oil can repel ticks. Is that something you’re familiar with?   Anonymous: I wanted to ask what it might mean when you bowel movements have no or little smell. After doing some research, it seems it could be due to lack of bacteria due to anitbiotics, I do not take those and havent for many years. I did the CBO protocol (first month only) a few months ago, but thats about it. If it helps, I have been diagnosed with dyspepsia. I also have what feels like a strange inflammatory (sometimes w/ burning) painful pressure in my sternum area everyday, and its very discomforting, with the feeling of fullness and cramping on my right abdomen in my liver area (ive done 7 liver flushes before). I that I take 2 caps of mag07 nightly and full spectrum mag as well. I seem to get a lot of mucous coming up my throat thruout the day, even if I havent eaten in a while. Thanks.   Laura: Hi, dr, Cabral.. hope you and your family are well.. I’m interested in pumpkin seed oil.. is it a healthy option? Not for cooking, but in my country we always use it for salads, it has an amazing aroma and taste and it’s considered very healthy here, lots of people make their own, it’s a whole thing around here ;) But now I’m not sure how healthy it is because you never mention it.. I only heard it once on your podcast about how to add 3.23 extra years to your life, ep. 2482 - it was part of that research.. Please talk more about it if you can.. I am also interested in the difference between sunflower seeds, sunbutter & sunflower oil.. the latter is unhealthy, but the other two are healthy, right? Could you please explain why? Thank you so much for all your hard work..   Erin: Lung question! I was diagnosed with asthma and allergies at the age of one…and still to this day have sinusitis and all kinds of sinus problems depending on the time of year. The asthma had thankfully gotten significantly better. But I recently was listening to someone talk about the connection between dry skin and the lungs in Chinese medicine. This really got me thinking as i have been suffering with dry skin for awhile. He mentioned if you had lung conditions, even way back as a child, you could still have infection left in your lungs. How would one go about getting rid of these old infections ? I am currently on the CBo protocol (not sure if this helps in anyway). Hope this made sense but it really made me think and feel sure this is something i am dealing with   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 and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2970 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

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! What are the possible reasons for a person never dreaming while sleeping? Have you ever seen or heard of this? Could it be a nervous system issue? Maybe a result of some kind of trauma? This person would insist there has never been any sort of trauma. Maybe it’s not an issue at all and there’s just a portion of the population who don’t dream? I find it very strange as I dream every night very vividly. Looking forward to hearing your experience with this! Thanks!   Katie: Hi Dr Cabral, Could you please help with some advice for my teen sons acne. After seeing a Naturopath he has been off sugar, dairy and processed foods for 4 months with not too much change. He currently takes zinc and a probiotic and does clay masks.The only option he has been given from his gp is 3 to 6 months of antibiotics and Accutane which we want to avoid due to side effects and long term damage. As well as the pimples he already has alot of scarring and he is only 14. Thankyou for your time we appreciate it :)   Lindsay: I’d love to hear your thoughts on a shortened follicular phase. This is something I have been struggling with for the last 7-8 years. I wear an Oura ring and can clearly tell when I ovulate based on temperature change, vaginal discharge, and mittelschmerz. I typically bleed for 5 days at the beginning of my cycle and ovulate around day 10, resulting in a 24 day cycle. My luteal phase is always 13-14 days in length. In November I ovulated on day 7! I couldn’t believe it, I bled for 5 days, ovulated on day 7, and then had a 14-day luteal phase for a 21-day cycle. No history of birth control or health struggles to speak of, and not on any medication. No obvious hormonal issues: clear skin, healthy blood sugar levels, healthy weight, sleep well, and exercise regularly. 39 years old.   Kelsi: hi dr. cabral! a question about sauna - is it still beneficial for someone who experiences elevation in blood sugar during / after a session? thank you.   Aaron: I've noticed that I'm more prone to tendonitis and muscle strain as I get older. I try to lift weights 2 to 4 times a week when I'm not injured. I'm interested to hear your thoughts as a physical trainer on how to increase muscle and strength without overstressing tendons. I'm especially interested to hear how you balance the workout advice with the DESTRESS protocol and supplementation. I try to eat whole food, try to exercise whole body workout daily, trying to reduce stress (big problem for me), I'm working on reducing toxins, worst sleep (my biggest problem I'm working on), very vata/anxious, can't take DNS because I'm sensitive to B6, but I do maintain my methylation, vit D, and magnesium, healthier now than I have been.
