2999: Do This First Thing in the Morning (MM)
I think we can all assume that we have the best of intentions whenever we set a goal... The problem is, life tends to get in the way and something always comes up that can throw us off track.

2998: Root Cause of PICA, Plans for Ayubowan, Pain When Eating, Taking Zinc & Magnesium, Detox After Cleaning (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… Cara: I am a holistic nutritionist and I have a 12 year old client who started eating paper 5 years ago. I wanted to see what are the underlying causes of this which I believe is called PICA. She seems like she is on the autism spectrum so I am running a heavy metal test in her blood right now and would like to run a HTMA too. Anything else that you would suggest? Isabella: Dear Dr. Cabral I don't mean to sound ungrateful but I as an Ayubowan member I was wondering if you could give an update on the plans for Ayubowan. I remember something about monthly Q & A with you, masterclasses with celebrity chef, mental health and binural beats expert etc. I have been a member from the start, but I seem to have missed the masterclasses. Can I find them somewhere so I can see or listen to them now? Thank you so much for a great podcast and products :-) Bettina: Dear Dr. Cabral. I am sometimes experiencing pain when eating. It feels like air is trapped in my throat and I get pain in my chest and back. When really bad I feel the pain even in my arms. I remember I was about 10 years old the first time I experienced this. I ate cold pancakes and enjoyed them so much that I forgot to chew the food enough. I do often experience this pain when eating something I really like but I am very attentive to chew my food now. Due to surgery I had to swallow a lot of pills and I got so much pain in my back, chest and arms that I just couldn't stand it. The pain stayed for about 30 minutes and was awful. I think it is esophagus spasm but I am not sure. Again, I feel like air og something is too big and trapped in my throat and gives so much back pain. Lara: Hi, dr. C.. hope youâ're well and your family as well (Bacci included).. I've heard many times but not sure if this is true.. do Zinc and Magnesium absorb better if taken together? And if I take them after dinner along with an Omega3 oil is it ok to take Ashwaganda at the same time? Which supplements can be taken together and which apart? Thank you for your help and knowledge, lots of love to everyone and happy healing Jennifer: Hi Dr Cabral, 2 questions...I clean an office building as a living. My shift are anywhere from 4-8 hours. I don't want to use Bluetooth headphones but I know it's not great to have my phone on my person either. Could you tell me the LEAST toxic way to listen to music & podcasts while working, that won't disturb others working around me? My boss has been very generous letting me use a non toxic cleaner of my choice, but there are still a few areas in the building where I am asked to use their toxic cleaners. Is there any way to detox my lungs at the end of a shift to protect myself from any product I might inhale? I already always use gloves when using these products to protect my skin. Thank you!!

2997: Detox Foot Bath, May-Thurner Syndrome, Finding New Research, Mastic Gum For Bloating, Sleep During Pregnancy (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: Audrey: Hi Dr. Cabral, Have you ever heard of a detox foot bath? My dad is doing them at health center here, where he soaks his feet for 30 mins in a copper basin. They add salt and electrodes to the water. After 30 mins the water is a nasty brownish color which must be the toxins being pulled from the body. Is this legit? And how does this work? Thanks Grethen: Any information on what causes this or a natural treatment for Mayâ Thurner syndrome. Stephanie: Hi Dr. Cabral! I had a question about how you find all new and recent research studies. I am a registered nurse looking into getting into nurse research and focus in functional medicine. I have been following you for years and have learned so much from your wisdom. Almost every podcast it seems you have a new and very recent research study (esp on Friday review shows) and wondering if you look up new studies every day or if you have some system or alerts you use that notifies you of new research studies that might interest you? If so, what are the major research databases do you use? Thank you for your passion in this field, you have taught me so much and can’t wait to start IHP in the future. Kay: Hi Dr. Cabral, I would like to thank you and your team for everything you and your team,. Jan/24 did the big 5 to figure out the root cause of Psoriasis, Bloating/gas and prep pre-pregnancy. We flagged: - Mercury/aluminum, Candida Overgrowth, High Oxalic Acid High Cortisol, Low DHEA I ran the 21 detox (psoriasis 95% gone, Auto immune markers gone bloodwork) I started Heavy Metal detox/IC & estrogen balance/ultimate sleep --> full CBO + daily sauna/destress protocol. Questions: Is there any downside to adding mastic gum for gas/bloating to the CBO protocol (I cannot stool test international)? How can we support sleep during pregnancy/breastfeeding . I have not slept this well s since my TBI 12 years and missed the melatonin for 2 nights and really felt it - Thanks in advance 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/2997 - - - 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?

2995: Essential Nutrients Depleted by Medication (Top 10 List) (TT)
Did you know that over half of the adult population takes some form of prescription drugs... The problem is that these drugs only act as a band-aid to cover up more serious symptoms, and many people do not know that their doctor is not addressing the root cause of their ailment. Additionally, certain medications can rob your body of important vitamins and minerals that it needs to function properly. Join me on today's #CabralConcept 2995, where I discuss which essential nutrients may be depleted by certain popular medications.

2992: Becoming "Anti-Fragile" May Hold the Key to Happiness & Personal Growth (MM)
Have you ever found yourself close to giving up? I think we probably all have, but the problem is that shying away from obstacles that are presented in front of you on your journey towards your goals limits your ability to grow and blossom. We must begin to stop and realize that these obstacles are what shape us and help us on our path to success and greater happiness. So on today's #CabralConcept 2992 I want to go over why becoming "anti-fragile" may hold the key to happiness & personal growth.

2991: Bile Acid Malabsorption, Plant-Based Diet & Oxalates, Protocols During Vacation, Root Cause of Pigmented Purpura Dermatosis, Pregnancy Glucose Test (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… Cindy: I have battled diarrhea for several years, and despite all kinds of stool testing and various diagnosis, I finally diagnosed myself with bile acid malabsorption. I have the classic symptoms. They put me on medication for it, and it is controlling the diarrhea, but I am wondering if I will have to take medication the rest of my life or is there a cure? Melissa: I trying to adopt a more plant based diet but am concerned about lectins and oxalates. I reading a lot about how they are damaging and consuming a lot of them on a plant based diet can have bad health effects. Can you advise if this is a real issue and how to handle, or if this something not to worry about? Dionna: Hey, Dr. Cabral. First, a sincere thank you from the bottom of my heart for doing what you do. After a year and a half of being so sick, your Big 5, plus the gut health lab have changed my life! I am in month 2 of the CBO Protocol. We leave for Barbados on March 29th. I will still be about a week or two from finishing the Protocol, and will not have started the Gut Finisher yet. How can I go on vacation, be able to eat, and NOT reverse all the work I've done to get better. Also, I am not a big drinker at all, but on rare occasion, I like to enjoy a cocktail. Is that even a possibility while on the protocol? I want to enjoy vacation but more importantly, not mess up everything I've worked so hard for. Thank you! You are an Earth Angel! REVISED from just a few hours ago. I just wanted to clarify that I will be staying at an All Inclusive Resort while in Barbados. I'm not sure what my food options will look like, which is the basis for my original question. Thank you Taliitha (tah-leh-thuh, like Tabitha, she/her): Thank you for having this forum to ask questions, and for consistently sharing your knowledge. I have pigmented purpura dermatosis, biopsy confirmed, that comes and goes over most of my body. If you are not familiar, it is a type of capillaritis. Do you have any thoughts on root cause or management? For over 6 months, and currently I am taking rutin and vitamin C in the form of equilife alkalizing vitamin C (based on a research article suggesting this would be helpful), no noticeable effects. Did minerals & metals, organic acids, food sensitivity labs. I am taking DNS, DFVB, B complex, magnesium, adrenal soothe, omega-3, and non-equilife zinc/elderberry gummies, histpro and digestive enzyme. Quarterly detoxes for 1 year with a 21-day, heavy metal detox, just started the CBO protocol. Tin: I am 15 weeks pregnant and I am taking my time to learn more about prenatal and maternity health. I’m curious what are your thoughts about Oral Glucose Tolerance Test? It usually contains 75g of sugar in the solution and taken after fasting. I'm a bit concerned about this much sugar plus the colorings added to that. My OB said this is required to test for gestational diabetes but heard that test can come out false and inaccurate. My FBS and HbA1c are all good, I take supplements and workout, so I think I have low risk. What are other alternatives for this that has less risk to my body? Thank you again for all that you do.
