2742: Wake Up with Energy by Resetting Your Circadian Rhythm (WW)
The more I study anti-aging and longevity the more I realize just how important sleep is… If you are not sleeping well at night or waking up at the right time for your body, you are going to be exhausted and burnt out. So today I want to help you understand how cortisol production works, why it is important, and the role it plays in having a healthy sleep cycle. By figuring this out we can begin to understand the best times for us to go to bed and wake up to ensure we optimize our cortisol production.

2739: Diabetes Help, Severe GERD, Diabetic Meal Plan, Stevens-Johnsons Syndrome, Fruits vs. Vegetables, Supplements vs. Food (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… Monika: I'm (43) diabetic. HbA1c 6.3. How can I get rid of this situation ? Everyday I walk 10,000 steps, Weight training 2 days/week. Eating low carb. But failed. Please help me out. I'm from India. Thank you. Julia: Hi Stephen Cabral Team, My name is Julia and I am a 35 year old woman living and working in Nairobi, Kenya. I am kindly requesting that you respond to my message. In 2021, I was infected with and recovered from the virus. Soon after this I was diagnosed with severe GERD. I think there was a connection. I have had 2 colonoscopies and 3 opinions with no success. All I get is the same prescription of Nexium or Pantocid. Currently only eating boiled food, no spices in an attempt to stop the reflux (base of throat) and nausea. I’ve spend all my money to get help. I’m not giving up but I am feeling like I’m running out of options. I’m only 35 and this disease has changed my life :(. I hate taking PPIs but after a few days it’s the only form of relief. I beg you, kindly, please help me. Cheryl: Hello Dr. Cabral, Do you have a diabetic meal plan protocol similar to the CBO sensitive stomach protocol? Jeffrey: Hello Dr Cabral, one of your IHP2/HPH Students here. I recently learned about a sometimes fatal condition called Stevens-Johnsons Syndrome / Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis, (SJS/TEN) and how those with a weakened immune system are at higher risk, especially when introduced to new medications like sulfa antibiotics and others for seizures, gout or mental illness. I searched your podcast to learn more and was surprised to find no results, so here I am to ask what you can share about the condition from a root cause and IHP perspective. Thanks. Darren: Good day Dr Cabral. Thank you for all you do. It's really appreciated. Two questions. When you say avoid eating fruit alongside meals, does that also apply to those that are technically fruit but often considered vegetable? Eg. Avocado, cucumber, tomatoes, peppers, melongene etc. Question 2: Does one still need to supplement with let's say magnesium if they're consuming a lot of pumpkin & Chía seeds, bananas, veggies daily? Same with vitamin C if I eat a lot of fruit? Thank you.

2738: Detoxing Sulphur, Prenatal Supplements, Titanium Sensitivity, Night Waking, Raynaud’s Syndrome (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: Lorena: I was listening to your show on the problem with fermented foods and you mentioned some people having issues with detoxifying sulphur due to genetics. I’ve personally seen this with my clients where they get anxiety and foul smelling gas after consuming anything that is high in sulphur including glutathione. And no, this is not a bacterial or Candida issue because these are individuals that have done the CBO protocol. So what would be your recommendation? Not consuming any crucíferos veg or any supplements that are sulphur based? Thank you in advance for your reply! Joanna: Hi Dr Cabral What are your thoughts on food based prenatal supplements vs normal prenatal supplements containing the methylated forms of nutrients? Would you recommend a food based prenatal as a suitable source or best to stick to something such as the Daily nutritional support? I do read that food based is more bioavaliable but i do wonder if some may require more then this? Many thanks Summer: Hi doc!My brother has a titanium plate on his collar bone.He’s concerned that he is sensitive to titanium & that it could be causing unnecessary stress to his body. He’s thinking of having it removed, but he’s also not crazy about being bombarded with what comes along with surgical procedures.So is there a way to tell for sure if his body is suffering ill effects from this plate? Is there some kind of test to run for titanium?He’s done the minerals/metals test & done the heavy metal detox.What should he be looking out for as far as side effects from a titanium sensitivity, & if he is in fact sensitive to it, what can be done?Would it be best to have it removed & then rebuild his gut after the surgery? Would like to know for sure before opting for surgery which is always a last resort Sue: Hi doctor Cabral, I really hope you can help me out with the following: I have no problems falling asleep (around 10pm), but I keep waking up at least 4/5 times between 3am and my wake-up time (6am). I try to do everything right: my last meal is at 6pm, I stay off the phone, wear blue light blocking glasses, do not drink alcohol, my room is cold and dark .. I just don’t know what to do about it and you are my last hope! Just to give you some additional details: I’m a 45-year-old female, plant-based, lift weights and walk 6 days a week, regular cycles, do intermittent fasting 12-16 hours a day. Please let me know if you have any tips or tricks, I would be eternally grateful. Thanks so much for all you do, Sue MaryAnn: Hello, do you recommend anything for Raynaud’s syndrome? My brother has severe sleep apnea and Raynaud’s syndrome and so far the doctors have done nothing but tell us it’s not occurring because he looks so fit and healthy even though his hands look horrid as if they’re always constricted and he can’t sleep due to the pain. He eats a very healthy lifestyle and does not eat any gluten. We’re feeling a bit frustrated since we’ve gone to the top medical institutes in Southern California including UCSD. Since he visually looks very fit aside from his hands all the western doctors say it’s fine and just try to prescribe him drugs that have nothing to do with it like benzodiazepines. Thank you for everything you do you are so appreciated.

Alzheimer’s Disease doesn’t happen overnight- It is a progressive degeneration that happens over 20-30 years and there are early warning signs and symptoms that show up in the body years before… My goal for you is to not only live a longer life, but to live most of those years as healthy as possible and one way that we can do that is through intermittent fasting. So today I want to share with you the specific intermittent fast that is recommended for people with a family history of dementia, Alzheimer’s, and other brain-based disorders and also share with you how anyone can reap the benefits of this fast.

2735: What’s Worse: Marijuana vs Alcohol (WW)
Over the past few years, the use of cannabis has been increasing in popularity... I have also noticed that, in the health space in particular, many people are partaking less and less in using alcohol due to its detrimental effects. And while I whole-heartedly support any efforts people want to make to improve their overall health, I want to be cautious of using any substances without research to back it up. So, on today’s episode, I want to dive deep into a very large study on brain health to get a better understanding of what the major causes are for accelerated brain aging and I think you will be surprised by the results.
