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…   Brandy: Hi! I have recently become a huge fan and I am thinking about becoming certified in your program. My question is about my father. He had a severe reaction to the yellow fever vacc several years ago and it caused brain swelling that took doctors months to figure out. He then was put on high levels of steroids, which then lead to Diabetes. Knowing what I know now, I think he has parasites (from all of his crazy travel places), h-pylori, Candida, SIBO all while getting sick constantly and taking forever to get over it. He won’t change his diet but has recently made some changes in taking Omega 3’s, CQ10 and NAC (this is huge progress) What would be a low hanging fruit (other than diet) that I could make him a believer in functional medicine that could spark some changes in him moving forward. I am sure taking the Big 5 would be the best place to start, however, I need to start very small. I am hoping for a suggestion for a supplement or something to that nature that people tend to see noticeable improvements from. Something like Zinc Picolinate or something that may help with blood sugar, blood pressure, mitochondrial function etc. Again, thank you in advance.   Demetria: Hi, I have been dx with PanUvitis. The doc says my vessels in my eye are leaking ingredients, so I have blurry vision. This started showing up about 4 years ago. Have you dealt with this type of issue? The doc says I have a autoimmune issue that is causing this, but is unable to give me answers to what it is, even after boold work.   Heather: Hi Doctor Cabral, Thanks as always for all you do! I’m a little confused about my acne situation. I used to have really bad acne as a teenager, went on birth control for it which cleared it up, then got off birth control two years ago and my skin was clear for about nine months. I started getting a little acne here and there, mostly bumps and blackheads around my chin and jawline, on my right side of my face specifically, that turned into under the skin zits. I then did the 7-day detox followed by the CBO Protocol and heavy metal detox while incorporating Equi.Life hormone supplements. After all that, now my chin and jaw acne is now on the left side of my face instead of the right side. I feel a bit helpless, would love some help here :)   Sarah: I recently got results from a hormone test - estrogen, progesterone and testosterone are all very low. Cortisol is through the roof all day long. Liver isn't detoxifying as it should, which is suspected why I'm not able to produce enough hormones. Any tips on how to support my liver? I weight train 5x a week and am active. Eat a wide variety of whole foods and fibre daily, hit my macros. No alcohol or smoking. I've supplemented with lglutamine for years, tried milk thistle etc but remained the same. Main symptoms - acne, hair loss, lethargic and low energy, brain fog   Whit: Would you /have you ever considered making an unsweetened DNS powder ? I love making a smoothie with the DNS and berries but it is just way sweet for me if I add any fruit at all to the DNS even if the lowest sugar berries. Would love to be able to sweeten the smoothie with whole fruit alone. I tried adding things like cranberry and pomegranate powder to give it more tart flavor to offset the sweet and also tried adding salt but it’s still too sweet for me. Maybe I’m the only weird one with this issue ? Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us !!!   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/2655 - - - 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:    Matt: My Daughter, age 8 has a history of always having aches and pains growing up - leg pain, knee pain, has had transient synovitis in her hip x 2 - often times has to sit down or rest when every other child is playing and running around without an issue - every test she has ever had done as been negative - multiple lymes tests, spine XRAY,, femur/tibia XRAY, blood work multiple times. She recently came up low on Vit D with a level of 21.0 ng/ml (currently supplementing) - all aches and pains attributed to growing pains since no cause was found (she has always been tallest in her class - 90 % and up in height generally). since October of 2022 she has been sick off/on - pattern of congestion, followed by headache/looking pale and then fever that lasts 2-3 days. Where do you suggest we start??   Kim: I've been looking at the things you have on pintrest and I have to tell you personally I think the tongue is a forgotten part of the body! I have alot of problems with my tongue, burning, painful bumps, discoloration and the only answer I get is a very expensive prescription for "magic mouthwash" there has to be a reason why this has been happening to me most of my life (I'm 59) I'm hoping you might have some answers PLEASE   Jeanie: are there any podcasts on joint replacement and heavy metals are there any podcasts on the risk of taking statins (specifically) I have listened to all the podcasts on lowering cholesterol. I need something on the negative affects of statins if available   Weylin: Hey Dr. Cabral, any recommendations on individuals struggling with long-covid? Any specific supplements we should be taking?   Nicole: Hi:) Thank you so much for all you do to help people. I am 44 years old and for the 1st time, feel like I am learning on how to make sensible, healthier choices for myself and family. Are there any meal delivery services you suggest for dinner a few nights a week? Thank you   Erin: Hi Dr. Cabral, I'm so grateful for you and your team. The amazing work you do to transform our world into a better, brighter place is so inspirational and has lit a fire in me too to do the same! Thank you for being and spreading your light!  I'd love to hear your thoughts regarding using products from the longevity line specificially inflammasoothe, cell boost, daily vision and daily hair support within a specific supplement budget. In your opinion is it best to do 1/2 of the dosage every day of all products or do one month "on" taking 2 of the supplements at full dosage and then one month "off" and switching to 2 different supplements? (Rotating between the supplements at a lesser dose) I feel I can use the benefits of all of them. Interested in your thoughts and advice.

They say it doesn’t matter how many times you fall; it’s how many times you get back up that matters…   But when we face a setback, that is easier said than done. Negative thoughts can creep in, and things begin to snowball from there…   On today’s show, I want to share with you a concept taught by one of the NFL’s leading gurus on sports performance and psychology.   We will go over how some of the highest-performing athletes use this technique to overcome challenges they face and move forward instead of letting it impact their game.   Join me on today’s #CabralConcept 2649 to learn how to “Go Neutral” - Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought!   - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/2649 - - - 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…   Lindsey: Hello Dr. Cabral, I would love to pick your brain on a controversial Vitamin D question. I have always followed the integrative/holistic/naturopathic view on Vitamin D and the idea that low levels can be part of the chain reaction of root cause issues for many dis-eases of the body. However, I recently listened to a XXXXX podcast episode with XXXX about Vitamin D levels and supplementation that made a lot of sense even though it contradicts everything every respected Integrative doctor has ever thought about vitamin D. If you are familiar with his explanation, I’d love to hear your thoughts. If not, it’s a suggested conversation topic for a future episode vastly different than the other vit d podcasts in the past.   Lindsey: Hello again Dr. Cabral - one more question to have a conversation about. I am breastfeeding and I wonder about future autoimmune issues for my baby. If I comprehend the autoimmune theory correctly, when the gut is leaky, proteins cross the lining and the body sees them as invaders creating an autoimmune response that expresses in the weak part of your individual body. This is very simplified. Since babies are born with permeable guts, can proteins go through my milk to do this. I am specifically worried because I have MODY or Type 1.5 diabetes. Since dairy in babes can cause type 1 diabetes, if I eat dairy will that do the same through my milk for the baby? What about allergen introduction? They suggest to do the big 9 within the first year. If one is a trigger, will it create AI?   Caitlin: I will try to keep this short: How do I know if I am suffering from candida overgrowth or just have a lot of the common symptoms of it for different reasons? I have severe eczema/dermatitis on my hands. I have suffered from this for years, on and off. I am working in a restaurant again, which has worsened it, but I know that my poor gut health in the past has played a role and steroid withdrawal. have for the last year and a half took major steps to improving my health Basically, I have the skin issues, I have yeast infections sort of often, and now I am experiencing dry scalp. Could this just be a few things happening at once and because it’s winter? (I live in New York). I’m sorry for the lengthy message and understand if you can’t answer on the podcast. Thank you for all you do.   Ales: Hello Dr. Cabral. I am an Integrative Health Practitioner L2, and I have question regarding food sensitivity testing. There seems to be newer version of testing called MRT (Mediator Release Test), which unlike IgG (testing for only type III sensitivity), is testing for type IV sensitivity. They claim that when the T-cells identity a food as harmful, they release mediators such as cytokines, histamines, and prostaglandins, causing inflammatory symptoms. Since MRT apparently measures the release of mediators from WBC and these mediators are proinflammatory chemicals, which leads to chain immune reaction, wouldn't it a much more accurate way to test for food sensitivities? Thank you for your thoughts..   Melissa: Hi Dr. Cabral - I've been working with a local functional medicine doctor and I found out I have 2 MTHFR gene mutations, high estrogen (testosterone and progesterone look good), high cortisol, APOE3/E4, low dopamine, high oxidative stress, AA/EPA is high, low MCHC, a marker for celiac disease, strep in my gut (no parasites) and my IgG and IgM are both very low. My FM dr is telling me to find an immunologist. I'm thankful to have all of this information but I'm feeling overwhelmed. I wanted to reach out for any specific advice you can provide with this info (nutritionally, testing, exercise, etc). Are there certain foods I shouldn't eat with MTHFR gene mutation or high estrogen?

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 Doc! Asking for a 36 year old male. He ran the big 5 last year. I’m not sure on the particulars of his results, but I know he has done the detox CBO. Chronic back pain, a reverse curve in his neck shown in chiropractic X-rays. Chronic high blood pressure. Healthy weight, exercises diligently, healthy whole food plant based diet, fairly decent sleep, regular corrective chiropractic care. We recently pieced together that he has systematic vein problems. Temporal Arteritis (self diagnosed), Vericose veins, hemorrhoids, and Varicocele of the scrotum. What would cause this and how can we support his venous/circulatory system? He’s been dealing with the varicocele since teen years. Left temple vein pain came a couple of years ago as a result of excessive Wim Hoff breathing. Thanks so much!!   Anonymous: Hi dr cabral, I wanted to ask you about your thoughts on raspberry leaf tea to reduce painful period cramps. I have painful periods and I’ve heard that raspberry leaf tea can help ease the pain. Do you have any studies that you can share regarding this? I’d really like to get your insight on how I can reduce period pain. Thank you.   Cara: Hi Dr. Cabral, I’m an IHP2 and I have a friend who has a daughter who has suffered for over 2 years. I have not worked with them yet. However I think this case needs more expertise. She frequently gets lockjaw and it’s also osteomyelitis of the jaw, jaw infection, scar tissue from two surgeries, jaw bone deterioration. She’s also a bit auto immune. We’ve seen 4 different naturopaths, 15 different doctors, holistic and regular, mental therapists, all kinds of different western and eastern type of doctors. It’s really tough because everyone really doesn’t know. They are doing myofunctional + oral posture work currently. She has gone from being vibrant and happy to hurting and shy.   Ana:  Hi Doc! What are your thoughts on onions and garlic? I'm aware that they're not CBO approved but if someone doesn't have any candida or bacterial overgrowth or any other digestive issues, do you think they should be avoided?According to Ayurveda, onion is tamasic (makes people irritable, agitated and aggressive) in nature and garlic to be rajasic (energy-draining, disturbed sleep and drained energy) in nature. As per Ayurveda, both these ingredients produce excessive heat in the body. However, these vegetables are highly recommended in Naturopathy because raw, crushed garlic has potent therapeutic benefits and red onion for example has loads of antioxidants including quercetin. How often do you consume those foods if you don't mind me asking? Once a week or more regularly?    Lindsey: Hello Dr. Cabral, I know you will have an answer to this question. I have asked 3 naturopaths, my midwife and pelvic floor therapist and none have ever done this, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. I had a c-section last October and wanted to use proteolytic enzymes to work on the scar tissue in my body. Any issues you see? Can I do it while breastfeeding? Recommended dose? Also, what would you use to strengthen (or make more elastic) the tissue in my uterus, so that I may have less issues in that area if I want to have another baby via VBAC? Thank you for your insight.   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/2647 - - - 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?
