3089: Water Ionization, Micro Needling for Hair Loss, Listening to Podcasts at 2X, High Hematocrit & Hemoglobin, Supplement Timing (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… Kelly: Hi Dr. Cabral! It's Kelly, an IHP L2 & lover of ALL things health, wealth & wellness. I would love to hear your POV, evidence based of course, on ( maybe don't say the product name - totally up to your digression) Enagic K8 water ionization system. Which creates more hydrogen rich water & to my understanding is more bioavailable to the body, acting almost like an adaptogenic, being a small enough molecule to penetrate the cell walls & even pass the blood brain barrier. I am always curious & have been incorporating with my clients wellness plans. As water, like food, movement and all the layers in the 'DESTRESS' protocol are important. I do however want to practice with integrity & I am chasing your wisdom . Would you consider it for a product review in the future? If so reach out Holly: Hi Dr. C! I have Alopecia Areata (40yr old women) and have tried all your hair loss protocols (including massively reducing stressors) alas nothing is working! I've resisted the steroid creams the doctor prescribed so far but running out of options. My question is about your thoughts on micro needling? And also thoughts on hyaluronic acid serum? (Or other recommendations). Thanks Holly Oliver: Hi Stephen, Are there any benefits or negatives to listening to podcasts/audiobooks at a fast speed? I listen to most podcasts at 2x speed which is great to consume lots of info quickly but my mum thinks its bad for you so wondered if there is any effect on the brain? Tessi: Hi Dr! I have addisons disease and noticed my blood work shows really high levels of hemocrit and hemoglobin on my blood work. Is this normally associated with having an adrenal issue or could it be something more? Any ways to lower it naturally? Josh: Hi Dr. Cabral - thank you for all you do to educate us. I take a number of vitamins & minerals daily, many of which are taken at the same time. I'm curious if there are any vitamins/minerals that should not be taken together and if there are any that are best taken on an empty stomach. I understand fat soluble should be taken with healthy fats, but aside from that, I'm unaware of any considerations. Thank you!

3085: Best Fix for Leaky Gut & LPS (Step-by-Step Proven Protocol) (WW)
It's important to heal and seal the gut wall to prevent bacteria and toxins from entering the bloodstream, which can trigger an immune system reaction and inflammation. One concerning issue when your gut becomes more permeable is the presence of lipopolysaccharides (LPS). These bacterial toxins can cause serious health problems (and are the underlying root cause of many diseases) as they enter the bloodstream. To combat this, I want to walk you through the step-by-step protocol we've used successfully for years with tens of thousands of clients to ensure proper balanced gut health. Join me on today's Cabral Concept 3085, where I share the step-by-step proven protocol to fix leaky gut and reduce LPS.

3082: Healthy Pillow Options, Testing Schedule, Oura Ring Tracking, Probiotics & Antibiotics, Sunflower Seeds & Sunflower Butter (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… Lara: Hi, dr. C! I'm wondering about the right pillows for optimal health, good sleep & no pain. Currently I've had neck, shoulder and back pain for more than half a year.. there must be multiple reasons (can you tell me more about what you think they are?) but I'm guessing my pillow isn't helping.. it's old & made out of memory foam which I remember you once said is a toxic material.. I'm from Europe so probably your brand suggestions wouldn't help but maybe you could talk about which pillow materials are healthy options and does the shape of the pillow matter? Anything & everything about pillows, please! Thank you for all you do! You're my favourite source of information! Annie: Hi Dr Cabral I did the Big 5 tests several years ago now (3 years) but I am having trouble losing weight and am seeing some hormone shifts. Would you recommend retesting all big 5 tests every so often or are there certain ones that you suggest more regularly?/What type schedule to you recommend for testing?For reference: 41 year old female Acne on my chin, Brain fog, trouble losing the last 5-10 lbs I am thinking I have larger estrogen dominance, slightly Hypothyroid, confirmed MTHFR Thank you! Annie Anonymous: Hi, dr. Cabral.. I've just listened to the episode where you were talking about how you use your Apple watch and you said Oura is not good for tracking activity AT ALL.. can you please explain what you mean by that? I only have an Oura ring and don't want to wear a watch so obviously I use my Oura for also tracking my activity like steps and heart rate when I go on walks, it detects when I do housework or dance for example and asks me if that was what I was doing so it tracks it as an activity.. I don't mind if it's not AS accurate as some other devices but would like to understand why you said it's not good AT ALL.. thanks Kristen: What are the best (research backed) probiotics for women after a short bout of antibiotics? Also, what about the women working through gut issues in the absence of antibiotics (assuming they are doing many other of the 'things' to help heal their gut)- which probiotics are best? This is if they do not have the funds to get a GI map test or functional tests. Do you recommend brands and strains? I would love to have a resource to refer to on this topic. Feels like the Wild West! Thank you! Sharon: You mentioned that sunflower oil had a high omega 6-3 ratio. Do you recommend avoiding sunflower seeds and sunflower seed butter too? Thanks.

3081: Protocol After Detox, Menstrual Cycle & Energy, Food Sensitivity Tests, Detoxing Mycophenolic Acid, Thoracic Pain & Tightness (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: Maggie: I'm on the last week of the 21 Day Detox and feel amazing. Do you recommend I do another protocol of yours? Maya: Hello doctor Cabral, I'm a 45-year-old woman with a lot of goals I want to achieve. However, my monthly cycle appears to hinder my progress. During the initial two weeks post period, I feel enthusiastic, energetic, clear-minded, and ready to conquer the world. But, a few days after ovulation, I experience a decline in energy. My workouts become more draining, my thoughts turn negative, and I struggle to stay on track with my goals. I know that this is likely due to hormonal fluctuations, but I would love to maintain consistent energy levels throughout my cycle. Are there any supplements or strategies I could implement to sustain this energy? It's worth noting that I lead a healthy, active lifestyle and am very mindful of my cycle. Thanks so much for your answer, you're the best! Maya Kristen: Hi Dr. Cabral! Thank you for your podcast, I've been learning a lot from it. I'm a dietitian and I'm having a really hard time understanding the food sensitivity tests that functional medicine practitioners use (listened to recent episode on that). This is a test that dietitians generally do not use. From my understanding, these tests reflect a normal 'reaction' to the foods that we have recently and regularly eat. When they remove these foods during the elimination phase and retest, it only makes sense that the IgG response to these foods is lower, since it hasn't recently been eaten. When these clients come to me with these results, I rarely pay attention to the results, but rather focus on 'cleaning up' their diets, lifestyle, etc. Would love to hear your thoughts on my view! Jack: I completeled a mycotoxin test I have high mycophenolic acid how can I detox it out of system where did it come from please help Erin: Thoracic pain/tightness…I grew up playing sports and then played competitive golf through college. I remember at the beginning of every round my upper back was always sooo tight and it felt like a really deep tightness. So much so it interfered with my swing but after 3-4 holes it started to loosen. Fast forward to now and it seems my thoracic area is constantly tight and if I do weights or like yesterday, a lot of raking, that area is so sore and tight today. What is causing this and what can i do? Sometimes i feel it constricts my breathing when it gets so tight after heavy weights or physical activity involving my upper body.
