Recently, there has been a lot of discussion about bone broth fasting… However, despite its beneficial qualities, consuming bone broth throughout the day (although it’s liquid) will break your fast. So on today’s show, I want to share with you a very specific characteristic about bone broth that eliminates it from being a tool used in fasting and what you can do instead. Join me on today’s #CabralConcept 2917 where I want to go over the bone broth fast, what it is, and dispel the myths surrounding it.

2914: Blue Zones Evidence, Large Pores, Baking Ingredients & Tools, Conflicting Views on Anti-Aging, Body Changes & Weather (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… Paul: Hi Dr. Cabral, Love your show and your ability to stay measured in polarizing times. I know you are evidence based and I’m wondering if you’ve looked deeper into the blue zones you reference. The book (now Netflix series) is largely anecdotal and cherry picked data and certainly cannot be referenced as scientific fact. The takeaway from the blue zones is lifestyle. Movement, culture, limiting processed foods, etc and that is what needs to be focused on. Interested in your thoughts and thank you! Elizabeth: Hi, Dr. Cabral! Thank you so much for taking my question! Over the past two to three months, one LARGE pore on my cheek appeared out of nowhere (that seems to not be blocked), one more that has recently appeared under my eye but isn't quite as drastic as the one on my cheek, and now one on my chin. I find it odd that these insanely large pores suddenly appeared with no other larger pores about them. Please help! Over the past month, I recently started using Trentinoin and I'm hoping that it'll help, but it hasn't seemed to make a difference so far. Again, these pores don't seem to be blocked. What might you suggest? I would appreciate any thoughts you may have. Just FYI, I searched your podcasts because I wanted a quicker answer :) but to no avail. :) Lara: Hi, dr. C! Hope you and your family are well.. I’m wondering about baking.. what are ok ingredients of baking powder? Is it ok to use just baking soda instead (sodium bicarbonate)? All cream of tartar baking powders I found have cornstarch in them.. And also, are silicone moulds ok to use? Or what are best for baking cakes, muffins, etc.. even nonstick if you line it with parchment paper? Thank you for your recommendations, enjoy your week Cynthia: Hi Doctor Cabral, I've noticed a surge in health influencers advocating for the anti-aging benefits of protein and weightlifting, recommending a minimum of 1.2 to 1.6 grams of animal-based protein per kilogram of body weight. They also encourage resistance training over extensive cardio. However, I'm intrigued by the growing number of anti-aging scientists turning to veganism and reducing their protein intake. This conflicting information has left me puzzled, and I'd appreciate your insights on this matter. Thank you for all your wonderful work. I deeply value your expertise and guidance, and I'm grateful to have you as a trusted resource. Crystal: Why does the body react to weather, such as changes in weather, rain, snow, humidity/barometric changes day to night?

2913: Citricidal vs. Biocidin, Hemorrhoids, Help for Hearing, Hypersensitive to Smells, Thyroid Medication, Wild Yam Cream (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: Shelly: Hello. Could you explain the difference between the citricidal and biocidin that you use in your practice? And which one could be best used if experiencing SIBO and mold? Thank you. Paris: You are the best Dr Cabral you are my idol I listen to all your videos. A tiny bump that will not go away like a hemorrhoid does it have to be surgically removed or will anything shrink natural it for good and dissolve it? It’s been there for three years. It doesn’t hurt but I know it’s there and i just want it to heal. I’ve tried ozonated olive oil aloe Vera - sugar. Red light therapy ozone therapy. But nothing works What is the most powerful way to restore healing for dad who was a drummer? What does it mean when you are hypersensitive to smells? I know you stated you can smell the smells too and you are extremely healthy. Does it mean the liver is truly toxic or can it mean I’m healthy bc I can smell it ? Cynthia: Doctor Cabral I had one side of thyroid removed 5 years ago at 57 years old. The reason.. I had a nodule which was benign however it was growing. It was monitored over 3 years before removed. I was immediately put on Thyroid meds. I never had thyroid problems or blood tests showing any concern before the partial removal. Doctors didn’t wait to test they just put me on meds. They say it’s lifetime. I am currently on 137 mg of Synthroid or generic. Can I try to go off meds ? Is it dangerous ? Thank you Teresa: Hi doctor Cabral, How do you feel about using wild yam cream for perimenopause issues (PMS, sleep, etc.) Thanks!
