3028: Warning: The New Cover-Up Names for Artificial Food Dyes (TWT)
The natural health community has long been aware of the numerous health issues associated with artificial colors and food dyes. Even though the FDA has acknowledged that artificial colors are no longer "generally recognized as safe," they still inundate our food supply with these toxins. Moreover, food dyes are now being listed under different names on labels, making it harder to know what you're consuming. So join me on today's #CabralConcept 3028, where I share my PSA on the new names for artificial dyes so you can be aware of what you are purchasing.

3026: Consistent Mucus, Heavy Metals & Hormone Therapy, Perfect Aminos, Stinging in Mouth, Adrenal Fatigue & High Cortisol (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… Annie: For the last 3 years, I have had consistent mucus in my throat. Sometimes it gets worse after eating fat like avocado and nut butter. The mucus is always clear if I spit it out. I thought it was acid reflux, but I am not sure why it would be affected by fats. Thank you for your help in advance! Gina: Hi Dr. Cabral! I am 33 & survived breast cancer last year, 6 months post partum. I had a lumpectomy, radiation and now hormonal therapy, which has been recommended for 10 years due to my age. Should I be concerned about heavy metals in this monthly injection? Doing the 21 day detox and curious of other pointers you may have that could be helpful while dealing with this long term. I've also struggled to lose weight in all this despite a very clean diet and exercising 5 days per week. My A1C is now 6.2 when it was normal prior to medication. Looking for guidance on how to further manage my blood sugar. I was interested in fatlossity but my Dr said "it has too many ingredients" and advised me against taking this. Can you speak a bit about fatlossity? Thank you! P.s. I've enrolled in IHP :) Lynette: What do you know/think of the Perfect Amino products created by Dr. David Minkoff (bodyhealth.com)? I've heard him speak on several podcasts and am curious about his Perfect Amino products. Is there validity to them? Worth trying? Just curious about your thoughts and insights. Thanks so much for all the info and knowledge you share! Lucy: Hi there, my niece (25yrs, very healthy and body aware) has had an on and off stinging and fuzzy feeling in her mouth since August. She has bloods done, mouth swabs, seen dentists, Dr's. They all say nothing is wrong it is her imagination. She says it is so unpleasant when it happens and needs to find a solution? Is there a podcast relating to this please? I can't find one in the search option. Which tests would you recommend? Thank you. Robert: I did Big 5 and have adrenal fatigue/very high cortisol. I have been fasting recently (skipping breakfast daily or doing 24 hour with only DNS powder). i have lost weight doing this and had several other benefits. Though I noticed if i don't have breakfast, and I am doing a stressful activity at work (i.e. public speaking), i shake and feel faint. i don't get this if i have breakfast. Further, my white blood cells and neutrophils were low on a few recent blood tests. Despite getting benefits from fasting, should i not do it as often due to side effects like feeling faint/shaking & low WBC/neutrophils which i heard can be caused by stress or fasting? Would it be better if i start my fast after dinner rather than skip breakfast, or should i stop fasts until i reduce stress levels? Thanks!

3025: Egg Sensitivity, Fruit & Bloating, Healthy Pregnancy Suggestions, Low White Blood Cells, Ox Bile & Stomach Acid, Calcifediol vs. Cholecalciferol (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: Al: Hello Dr. Cabral, I have a question about food sensitivity. If my food intolerance test show high reactivity to chicken eggs (whites in red field), can I safely eat other eggs like quail eggs, duck eggs etc? I particularly like quail eggs and there are some good nutrition informations about them. What do you think? My second questuion is about fruits after meals. I am aware from your podcasts that fruit isnt good to combine with solid meals. In my case, it causes bloating if eaten after a meal as a desert, but only if its fresh fruit. If the fruit is eaten dried as a dessert, there is no issue whatsoever. Why is that, it doesnt make sense to me? I dont drink much fluids after meals and my OAT is clear of candida by the way. Thank you. Jacqueline: Hi Dr Cabral Thank you for everything you and your team do. 2 questions regarding pregnancy. I am just finishing fmd 21, heavy metal and cbo protocols. My husband and I are going to start trying at what point should one stop use of sauna and flying on airplanes. Any other health habits or products other trn herbs that should be postponed to post breast feeding? Rickardo: Hi Stephen Cabral. on my recent blood tests with my GP over the last few years, i have had low white blood cells neutrophils. My doctor has no idea why this is casued, but said it is best we just monitor it. Do you have any suggestions as to how i can raise my levels and become healthy again? thanks so much ! Karen: Hi there Dr. Cabral and team - so grateful for all you guys are doing!!! I recently listened to a podcast from someone who seems very knowledgeable about gut health say that ox bile shouldn't be taken with meals because it DECREASES stomach acid. Could you weight in on this Karen: Just wanted to see if you had any thoughts on the pros and cons of CALCIFEDIOL vs. CHOLECALCIFEROL versions of vitamin D supplements? Thanks so much!

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!
