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:    Buffie: Hi. I have been diagnosed with a uterine fibroid (10mm by 7 mm). I am a 51 year old woman and am approaching menopause. Is there any certain test or lab you recommend that I complete? I'm not sure where to start with this. Also, do you have any dietary recommendations? I eat mostly a plant-based diet, but do have chicken or beef on occasion (I don't like fish at all). I only recently found you on YouTube and have been listening/watching your show as much as possible.   J.M.: Hi Dr. Cabral! Firstly, thank you for everything that you do - your podcast has helped me so much and I always recommend my fmaily and friends listen to you to get their queries on their health answered. I have experienced very mild hair loss that I noticed after a very stressful time in my life, my trichologist advised I had telogen effluvium however it was combined with redness, scaling and itchy symptoms. my dermatologist suggested some creams/ointments/shampoos etc to try first. Eventually (this being approximately 2 years ago) symptoms went away and I assumed it was a bout of inflammation due to stress. Now it has returned so I decided to go through with the biopsy and it showed i have Lichen Planopilaris. Can you shed light on how i can manage this condition and prevent hair loss   Jasmine: Hi Dr. Cabral! First of all, thank you so much for all the free knowledge you provide to the world. I feel so empowered to take on health issues autonomously because of you and the information and trustworthy products you provide. My question is about topical retinol skincare products. These can be OTC or prescribed by a derm, which would namely be Tretinoin. I have seen so many people have incredible results with retinol/vit-a derivatives. It almost seems too good to be true. What are the side effects, if any? Is it safe to use? Thank you!   Emma: Hi Dr Cabral Thank you so much for everything you do! My question is regarding the DUTCH hormone test. I have heard you say that you don't use it, and that it isn't as reliable as the saliva test, which I completely understand and respect. However I hear many functional medicine practitioners and doctors who do use it say why they love it, and the main reason being that they can see which pathways certain estrogens are going down (2OH, 4OH, 16OH) Eg- they may see that E1 and E2 are going down the 4OH pathway (being associated with DNA damage and breast cancer) and methylation. Isn't there benefit of knowing that information to then dive deeper into why that's happening as opposed to the saliva test which doesn't show that information? Thank You!   David: Good morning, I’d like to get some info on using Serrapeptase for reducing high blood pressure. Thank you.   Chris: Hi doctor Cabral. Absolutely love anything you are doing for the world. I just have a question regarding silica dust. I work in construction and although I do everything I can to prevent inhaling the dust, it is extremely hard to keep myself from breathing in some dust every day. I know how deadly silicosis can be and was wondering if there were ways that I could help rid the body of any built up silica dust in my lungs? I was also wondering if there was a lab/test that would indicate if I had high levels of silica in my body? Thanks for everything you do   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/2675 - - - 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?

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: Hello… I’ve done the FM detox, followed by CBO and now on my 3rd month of CBO finisher… I have fibromyalgia and thought that my symptoms would subside but they didn’t… I also still have arthritis pain in my fingers, and all other chronic pain that moves around in my body without any logic to it… I also still have a white coating on my tongue and vaginal thrush, sometimes it gets very itchy and smelly, I guess it depends on what time in the month it is depending on my period… I was following the protocols and diet (I eat quite healthy anyway)… Do you have any suggestions? Why am I not feeling better after? What to do now?   Kayla: Hi, I was wondering if you’ve ever helped anyone with Pinguecula. I’ve seen the eye doctor and they said there is nothing to get rid of it, just to wear glasses and use eye drops. I eat paleo, am on a prenatal, magnesium, probiotic, omegas, and workout regularly. I’m trying to heal menstrual problems right now, but other than that I am healthy. Any advice would be awesome! Thank you!   Andrea: Hi Dr. Cabral! I was hoping you could help me with this reaction my daughter is having every time she gets into a hot tub treated with bromine. Her skin breaks out in a rash that is similar to eczema. It is extremely painful, and itchy, and is all over her torso, back, arms, and legs. The rash persists for 4 to 6 weeks at a time, depending on the severity. This reaction only happens in hot tubs treated with bromine, not as much with chlorine. Have you ever seen this before? Would you recommend us do the heavy metals test, and maybe the stress and mood test for her thyroid? What else? Thank you in advance for answering this question.   Hope: I recently got diagnosed with hypothyroidism and osteoporosis. I took Prilosec for over 20 yrs. I hear from different MD’s that gluten and dairy is a NO. My questions are: 1…is fermented milk ok?Like Kefir, yogurt? 2…is gluten di to the new GMO wheat? Are ancient grains ok to consume? 3..I also hear No to rice potatoes, oatmeal, and coconut oil. I consume these products regularly. Please, help me with this frustrating and confusing subject. Thanks.   Erin: This happens to me when i have been active a lot the day before…I wake up feeling puffy and swollen. I know I’ve consumed plenty of electrolytes that day before so what would Cause this? What can I do to prevent this? I really appreciate the input!   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/2669 - - - 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:    Erin: Hi Dr Cabral, I have extreme salt cravings part of which are due to adrenal issues and the other thing. I just enjoy the flavor profile I have always preferred highly salted food. I had been experiencing swollen eyelids in the morning and then I heard it often times it’s not about how much sodium you intake but instead your sodium to potassium ratio. I started taking potassium in the form of cream of tartar mix into my magnesium sweet drink before bed, and it seems to be working as a swelling has reduced. I’m curious to hear your thoughts on the sodium potassium ratio, and whether you can balance that are really need to reduce salt intake?   Burg: Hey Doc, love your work. After a routine visit to the doctor, he noticed a crease in both earlobes and said that it might corollate to heart issues. It's called “Frank's Ear". I am 58 and overweight. I have noticed a loss of connective tissue (loose wrinkly skin) over the past few years. Any thoughts would be appreciated.   Marina: Hi Dr Cabral, I’d like to know the benefits of fish oil vs cod liver oil. Cod liver oil has vit a and d however you say that EPA to DHA of 2:1 is best, cod liver oil doesn’t seem to meet this. When should we pick one over the other? Or supplement with both? Thank you   Anonymous: Hi, dr. Cabral.. My boyfriend bought these expensive pans from Hexclad because “even Gordon Ramsey uses them” and they are advertised as non-toxic.. I wrote an email to them and they said that of course they use PTFE to make them non-stick and that US FDA certified it for use in many applications including medical implants and cookware.. After listening to your podcasts I believe it’s still toxic to our bodies, but not sure if you’ve used the name PTFE.. Can you please tell us your opinion on it?   Lara: Hello, dr. Cabral.. I went to an Ayurvedic doctor who said I was a pitta by looking at my fingers and nails.. I’m wondering about two things that he said: - the moons on the fingernails shouldn’t be visible- if they are, there’s a problem with corresponding organs - chocolate, even raw cacao is poison, because there is a scarcity of it in the world and it would have to be extremely expensive if it was natural.. in his opinion it is all made in a lab.. Could you please give your opinion on both? Thank you so much and happy healing to everyone!    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/2668 - - - 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?
