The Cabral Concept

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 Dr.Cabral, Thank you so much for taking the time to answer listener questions every week! A little over a year ago I had a vaginal delivery with forceps. At my six week checkup I was not completely healed and asked to come back another two weeks later. This went on until I was six months postpartum, every time having silver nitrate applied to the scar tissue. At six months postpartum it was finally suggested I have a procedure done where I would go under anesthesia and have the doctor remove all the granulation tissue. My question to you is there anything I could I have done to help my body heal better and avoid that situation? I already take the DNS, zinc, D, omega and probiotic. Thanks again for all you do. Justin: What are your thoughts on permethrin and insectashield clothing. What are the best natural mosquito and tick repellents? I’ve heard geranium oil can repel ticks. Is that something you’re familiar with? Anonymous: I wanted to ask what it might mean when you bowel movements have no or little smell. After doing some research, it seems it could be due to lack of bacteria due to anitbiotics, I do not take those and havent for many years. I did the CBO protocol (first month only) a few months ago, but thats about it. If it helps, I have been diagnosed with dyspepsia. I also have what feels like a strange inflammatory (sometimes w/ burning) painful pressure in my sternum area everyday, and its very discomforting, with the feeling of fullness and cramping on my right abdomen in my liver area (ive done 7 liver flushes before). I that I take 2 caps of mag07 nightly and full spectrum mag as well. I seem to get a lot of mucous coming up my throat thruout the day, even if I havent eaten in a while. Thanks. Laura: Hi, dr, Cabral.. hope you and your family are well.. I’m interested in pumpkin seed oil.. is it a healthy option? Not for cooking, but in my country we always use it for salads, it has an amazing aroma and taste and it’s considered very healthy here, lots of people make their own, it’s a whole thing around here ;) But now I’m not sure how healthy it is because you never mention it.. I only heard it once on your podcast about how to add 3.23 extra years to your life, ep. 2482 - it was part of that research.. Please talk more about it if you can.. I am also interested in the difference between sunflower seeds, sunbutter & sunflower oil.. the latter is unhealthy, but the other two are healthy, right? Could you please explain why? Thank you so much for all your hard work.. Erin: Lung question! I was diagnosed with asthma and allergies at the age of one…and still to this day have sinusitis and all kinds of sinus problems depending on the time of year. The asthma had thankfully gotten significantly better. But I recently was listening to someone talk about the connection between dry skin and the lungs in Chinese medicine. This really got me thinking as i have been suffering with dry skin for awhile. He mentioned if you had lung conditions, even way back as a child, you could still have infection left in your lungs. How would one go about getting rid of these old infections ? I am currently on the CBo protocol (not sure if this helps in anyway). Hope this made sense but it really made me think and feel sure this is something i am dealing with Thank you for tuning into this weekend's Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2970 - - - 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?

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: Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral! What are the possible reasons for a person never dreaming while sleeping? Have you ever seen or heard of this? Could it be a nervous system issue? Maybe a result of some kind of trauma? This person would insist there has never been any sort of trauma. Maybe it’s not an issue at all and there’s just a portion of the population who don’t dream? I find it very strange as I dream every night very vividly. Looking forward to hearing your experience with this! Thanks! Katie: Hi Dr Cabral, Could you please help with some advice for my teen sons acne. After seeing a Naturopath he has been off sugar, dairy and processed foods for 4 months with not too much change. He currently takes zinc and a probiotic and does clay masks.The only option he has been given from his gp is 3 to 6 months of antibiotics and Accutane which we want to avoid due to side effects and long term damage. As well as the pimples he already has alot of scarring and he is only 14. Thankyou for your time we appreciate it :) Lindsay: I’d love to hear your thoughts on a shortened follicular phase. This is something I have been struggling with for the last 7-8 years. I wear an Oura ring and can clearly tell when I ovulate based on temperature change, vaginal discharge, and mittelschmerz. I typically bleed for 5 days at the beginning of my cycle and ovulate around day 10, resulting in a 24 day cycle. My luteal phase is always 13-14 days in length. In November I ovulated on day 7! I couldn’t believe it, I bled for 5 days, ovulated on day 7, and then had a 14-day luteal phase for a 21-day cycle. No history of birth control or health struggles to speak of, and not on any medication. No obvious hormonal issues: clear skin, healthy blood sugar levels, healthy weight, sleep well, and exercise regularly. 39 years old. Kelsi: hi dr. cabral! a question about sauna - is it still beneficial for someone who experiences elevation in blood sugar during / after a session? thank you. Aaron: I've noticed that I'm more prone to tendonitis and muscle strain as I get older. I try to lift weights 2 to 4 times a week when I'm not injured. I'm interested to hear your thoughts as a physical trainer on how to increase muscle and strength without overstressing tendons. I'm especially interested to hear how you balance the workout advice with the DESTRESS protocol and supplementation. I try to eat whole food, try to exercise whole body workout daily, trying to reduce stress (big problem for me), I'm working on reducing toxins, worst sleep (my biggest problem I'm working on), very vata/anxious, can't take DNS because I'm sensitive to B6, but I do maintain my methylation, vit D, and magnesium, healthier now than I have been.

Does this sound familiar? Sleep Difficulties Can't Turn Your Mind Off Low Energy Low Mood Not Feeling Refreshed Many of these symptoms can be due to an imbalance of cortisol. High cortisol levels in the evening can contribute to a variety of sleep disturbances, yet cortisol testing is almost always conducted during the morning hours which can create inconsistent views of your health versus how you feel. Join me on today's #CabralConcept 2967 where I go over the best time to test your cortisol to ensure you are getting the right results and plan to improve your sleep and health.

After years of clinical practice and seeing hundreds of thousands of clients, there is one thing I am certain of when it comes to weight loss… One of the secrets to success is being able to maintain a lower to normal blood glucose level overnight. This can be a struggle for many people because they tend to eat their largest meal in the evening, which can impact their overnight blood sugar levels while they are sleeping. But this can easily be combated, and I want to share with you how… So join me on today's #CabralConcept 2966 where I go over my simplest tip to help you lose weight.

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… Liam: Hello, I know you always stay up to date on the latest health tech so I am curious how far away you think we are from having a technology that would constantly monitor our bodies and give us the information that the Big 5 labs do but provide it every day. I understand this is speculative but you of all people would have a good guess as to how long it will take to get to that point. Thanks! Kavita: Hello Dr. Cabral, I have a BIG question for you. A couple of years back I was asked to start taking blood pressure medication as my blood pressure was high. Please don't ask me if I have a record of my diastolic/systolic numbers because I don't. I did not want to get on any medication and went a different route as with a lot of things I do in my life :) That is why I am a dedicated listener/ follower of your podcast. I don't trust conventional medicine and love to hear it every time you say it on the podcast!! It just reaffirms my belief. So as far as dealing with my BP I started cutting down on processed food and also started adding less salt to my food. I use Himalayan Pink salt/ Redmond Salt/ Celtic sea salt in rotation. My husband and I also do intermittent fasting and don't eat aft Leila: Hello, I had a CT done of my abdomen a couple months ago and everything was fine but they mentioned a hemangioma. I have known about this already and had a follow up MRI years ago and they said that was what it was. I read the report and it said 10cm and I'm pretty sure, without seeing my papers, that it was smaller back then. I am going to follow up with my primary, but do you have any suggestions on things I can do to support this? Thank you! Kelsi: hi dr. cabral! is there any chance you could do a product review on ZeroAcre oil? a lot of high profile restaurants are switching to this 'fry-safe' oil and moving away from seed oils. i'm curious to know as id like to be able to go to places like CAVA and get a salad without inflammatory oils. thanks! Erin: Hello! So grateful for your help...I know you can't do medical diagnostics or anything like that but I know you have younger kids and was curious what you would do. Within the past 6 months my 7 year old got hand, foot and mouth then a month or so later drank water in the ocean on accident when it was very warm and later found out it had high bacterial levels and she ended up getting an awful stomach bug/virus. Then had flu had a week where she was well then caught strep throat. All this to ask...what can I do going forward. Her immune system is run down but I am just trying to figure an overall plan to get her back strong and a solid immune system.

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: Charlye: Hi Dr. Cabral, I am a 28 yr old female, I'm fit with a muscular body type. I recently had my first baby, she was delivered via c-section at 33 weeks due to fetal distress. 5 days postpartum I was re-admitted to the hospital for high blood pressure with low heart rate. I have always had great blood pressure and I tested negative for preeclampsia. After EKGs and an Ecmo, It was determined I had bradycardia and a Wenckebach block, due to high vagal tone. I've always had a low resting heart, rate 50-60s awake, 40s while sleeping. I also struggle with intense general anxiety and had a stressful pregnancy. I'm curious about the biophysical relationship between the vagal nerve, my bradyarrhythmia, my anxiety, and my pre-term birth and how to approach healing and balancing my body. Thanks! Kathryn: I am currently breastfeeding my toddler and I just haven't been able to quit vaping. I stopped while I was pregnant but picked up the habit again due to stress about 7 months postpartum. I have stopped for a few weeks here and there but my partner vapes and I always end up vaping again. The nicotine level is the lowest you can get. I'm mostly worried about the heavy metals getting into my breast milk. Is it best to stop breastfeeding if I can't quit vaping? How much harm am I doing to my child? I wish I had more support from my partner to quit but he assures me it's harmless. I feel like the worst mother ever. Stacey: Hi Dr.Cabral I just want to say thank you for taking so much time to answer questions and be here for us all ! I just found out my mother has breast cancer . My grandmother and aunt had it as well . We don't know the stage as of yet . What do you suggest we do for now to help her body get strong enough to fight this . I'm terrified and can't think of it without crying as I have health issues myself and trying so hard to just keep my head above water for my kids . My mom is my grandmas care taker and it's just a very scary situation. Also do you suggest BRACA testing for me and possibly removal of my tissue ? I need to have a breast explant so I'm thinking do it then . So much to consider in all of this . Thanks so much for your guidance. Melissa: Question about not sweating during workouts. I am hydrated, I do LMNT water 30 minutes prior and 32 ounces water during. All I drink is water and always has electrolytes in it I just don't sweat easy. I heard on the latest genius life podcast (episode 364 at the 56ish minute mark) that sometimes you can have a cell that holds on and will not release so I'm wondering if you've heard of that and if there's a way to detox so that I can't start sweating easily? I can't sweat if I get an asana or workoutside in the heat. Just not during workouts. And I want to detox.
