3020: Do You Really Know What Your Top Priorities Are? (MM)
One of the things I have been talking about over the last few years is that we need to start looking more at our calendar and less at our to-do list. It's easy to become consumed by daily tasks and overlook scheduling specific time that will move us further towards reaching our goals. So on today's #CabralConcept 3020, I want to ask you if you really know what your top priorities are and how to make sure you are creating space for them.

3019: Perfect Amino, CBO Results, Sauna & Heat Sensitivity, Ginger & Bloating, Sriracha & Salt (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… Alyssa: Hi Dr. Cabral, Have you hear of the supplement Perfect Amino by Body Health and if so what is your opinion? They claim it has all of the essential amino acids and is a 90% absorption rate within 30 mins of taking them, unlike other protein powders that are mostly converted to sugar. Also says it won't break a fast as it is only 2 calories. Thanks Seth: Hey Doc, I was just listening to the podcast that you asked for help to make it easier for people to find the info they're looking for. Manychat and other chat bots might be a great start. Or create a section in your app that does this? Anyway my question for you is: I've done the cbo 2 times in a row because I tested high in yeast and bacteria. The peculiar thing is that both times I did the cbo, week 4 of the 2nd month was when i had the most relief. Then I gradually get worse and back to where I started. I'm 98% dairy and gluten free, I eat low inflammatory 90%. Don't drink alcohol, rarely do sweets. Lift heavy weights, sleep at leat 7.5 hrs. Maybe it's a parasite(s)? Either way I believe something in the supplements for month 2 helped more than others...thanks broski Stacy: Hi Dr. Cabral. I really enjoy listening to your podcasts! My question is, can an infrared sauna blanket cause issues in people who are sensitive to heat? I don't really know if I'm sensitive to heat, but I do have thyroid disease. I started using my infrared, sauna blanket, eight months ago and within a few weeks my left shoulder started hurting really bad and my left hand went numb, this happened until I stopped using my sauna. I gave it a couple month break and then I started it back up at lowest temp for only 15 min each time. Within 2 weeks it started happening again. Any ideas why? Dionna: Hi, Dr. Cabral. I am about to go into month 3 of the CBO Protocol next week. I still have some bloating with my smoothie, lunch and dinner. I'm not eating anything that was on my food sensitivity list, but I have noticed that ginger is in some of the Equilife supplements I'm taking, and ginger was a food sensitivity. Is some amount of bloating after meals normal, or could the ginger be an issue? I'm so worried about going through all of this and my gut not being fully healed when done. My gut was in pretty bad shape for years with what I now know was yeast and bacteria overgrowth. Does the CBO protocol ever NOT heal the gut when done correctly? Do some people have to do it twice? Thank you for helping the world to be a better place! Dionna Lara: Hi, dr. C :) I'm wondering about sriracha.. is it healthy, do you use it? How about salt.. iodized is considered unhealthy, why? Which is best? We live at the top of the Adriatic sea which basically means it's a huge bay between Slovenia & Italy so I don't think the sea here is super clean, but everyone swears our sea salt is the best.. and that Himalayan salt is coloured, how can we know which one is best? ..and how about black salt? Vegans use it to make chickpea omelettes taste more like eggs but is that a healthy salt? WebMD says it has antioxidants & lots of minerals, but we trust you the most.. Thank you for clearing all of that up for us.. you're absolutely amazing, I listen to you every day!

3014: This Common OTC Drug Can Lead to Autism (Evidence-Based) (TWT)
Today I want to go over a sensitive but important topic… We now have research supporting the link between a commonly used over-the-counter drug, often taken during pregnancy, and conditions like Autism, ADHD, and hyperactivity.

3012: Food Combining & Olives, Mushroom Coffee & Pregnancy, TSH Differences, Candida & Type 2 Diabetes, Herpes Help (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… Anonymous: Hi I found organic olives (after years of not eating them bc of shady ingredients) &wondering if these are ok?They're organic green olives & organic Kalamata olives in water, non-iodized sea salt, organic wine vinegar, organic extra virgin olive oil, organic oregano, organic basil. We tend to eat a lot of them in the evening with dinner (or after dinner), is that a bad time to eat a lot of olives?How many would you recommend, considering we do put olive oil or pumpkin seed oil on our plate as well? Is dinner not the right meal to eat olives considering there's fat? &food combining with olives? In one of your handouts they're in the PROTEIN section, so they shouldn't be combined with fats and carbs..? In the other handout they're in the FAT section.. please explain The Olive Mystery, ty Adriana: Hi Dr. Cabral I did my best research I could regarding my question. Hoping you can expand on the topic. In episode 2487, you touch on the subject of drinking mushroom coffee while pregnant. You don't recommend it because mushrooms are immune modulators. Why do immune modulators Negatively impact pregnancy? Also, is it safe to drink mushroom coffee while trying to get pregnant? My mushroom coffee contains lions mane, chaga & reishi. Thank you!! Diane: Hi Dr. Cabral I’ve been listening to your podcast since 2018. It has definitely been a positive influence on my life. I have a question about TSH test. I’m 66 years old female. Both test were taking while fasting. I did a finger-stick at 4:30 AM and then I did a blood draw at 8:30 AM, both were done in about a three week span. The fingerstick said my TSH was five the blood drawn said my TSH was 2.42. I did not get my T4 T3. Can you explain why the huge difference. With the blood drawn be more accurate thanks. Diane Justin: I have struggled with candida since I was 25 I'm not 41 I have been checked by a doctor and she just put me on dyfucan it killed them like your said in podcast but they came back my sugar cravings are mainly at night. I got sleep apnea at 36 I know have type 2 diabetes from I believe my diet and my stress. I have lowered my a1c from 10.5 to 6.5 by eating cleaner I've dropped my blood sugars to 140s but Iâ€'m trying to completely reverse it and Iâ'm so confused on what path to go on with the candida and the type 2 eating clean and detoxing I workout everyday and I have lost weight but it's very slow when I took metformin I dropped weight fast but got off of it as I had neuropathy from it I really want coaching and some help to master this healing I appreciate anything information you can give Selena: Can genital herpes be completely cured?

3011: Non-Invasive Screening Technology, RBE Translations, Guanidinoacetic Acid, Conceiving After CBO, Root Cause of Insomnia (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: Lara: Hi, dr. Cabral Have you heard of ANESA,a non-invasive screening analyser that determines 131 health parameters & allows estimating the state of organs & body systems, identifying signs of pathologies & health threats. It uses 5 microprocessors (2 on the neck, 2 in the underarms & 1 in the bellybutton. It calculates hemodynamic, biochemical & immunological parameters.The naturopaths I go to use it & they work with different oils with the process of thermoregulation in the body & how it tells us a lot of what's going on inside.Their 2 research studies have been awarded last year at the 7th international congress on Naturopathic medicine in Paris,their names are Irma & Igor Ogorevc from Slovenia, if you are familiar with them?They use rapeseed oil in some of the oil mixes, what do you think? Lara: Hi, again :) I wanted to add their oil ingredients are grown at their own facilities in Serbia & they have control over the origins of the seeds and they put their oils under analysis.. just wanted to ask what you think about the use of the rapeseed oil.. Secondly, I am trying to recommend The Rain-barrel effect to people but it hasn't been translated to Slovenian yet! Any idea on how to help make that happen? Unfortunately a lot of people here do not speak English that well to read books in it, but I feel like it is a must-read for everyone who is interested in being healthy.. please help and thank you for all you do, you truly are an amazing soul! Anthony: Hi Doc, second time writing in. Last time you helped answer some questions I had regarding the ecdysteroids - Turkesterone and Laxogenin. Really appreciate the deep dive you gave with the follow on episode too! I'm a big proponent of creatine and would like to know what you think of Guanidinoacetic acid (GAA) is it safe and beneficial or too early to tell? Always grateful for your advice. Anthony Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral - Love episode 2945 - on Metals. I did the big 5 came back with candida and heavy metals. Ran the 21 day FM, HMD & now in CBO as prep for pregnancy. 2 questions - How soon after the CBO would it be safe to start trying (detox while pregnant no advised) & how soon could we retest heavy metals to be sure levels are appropriate post detox - what is the expected drop-off in levels (I was high in aluminum & mercury). Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral, been working on the root cause of my insomnia (10 years + after a TBI) after Big 5 . About 3/4 through 21 day FM detox --> HM Detox --> CBO and have been running the ultimate sleep protocol during + destress protocol. My resources are tapped at this point, so I can't retest stress/mood/met, so I would like your opinion at what point should I expect my high cortisol to be down enough so I can come off the sleep protocol and sleep well? How long can someone run adrenal soothe for safely?
