2572: The Choice of Becoming Average or Obsessed (MM)
There’s nothing wrong with being average… That’s ok as long as you do not care about the results you receive in those areas of your life where you’ve accepted average as “good enough…” But if there is something you wish to become extra-ordinary at then you must become obsessed with working on it… So on today’s #CabralConcept 2572, I’d like to go over the choice of becoming average or obsessed - Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought! - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/2572 - - - 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?

2571: Idiopathic Heel Pain, Maintaining Protocol Results, Natural Lubricant, Beta Sleep Stages, Electrolyte Supplements, Anxiety after Virus, Children & Omega-3 (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… Jack: Hi Dr Cabral, I was hoping you could recommend where to start when you feel like you're at the end. I have idiopathic bilateral heel pain that means I can't stand for more than 10 minutes without being in agony. Every scan and test I've had has come back healthy/normal, other than hormones which I have since optimised to no effect. I've had over 300 appointments across the world with every possible type of practitioner in conventional medicine and included 14 surgeries. It has culminated in what my surgeon believes is a world's first surgery, as well as tibial nerve removal, also to no effect. I am scheduled for amputation but I do not believe I've covered much of the holistic world. Where can I go from here? Many thanks, any help is sincerely appreciated. Jack Ali: Hi Dr! In Nov of 2021 I started working with an IHP for chronic migraines, elevated fasting glucose, weight gain and getting up 2x night to urinate. She had me do 3 week detox, CBO, mold and heavy metals detox. During the CBO protocol I lost the excess weight and finally started getting less migraines, my sugar started to stabilize. Now, 1 year later my weight is up, my fasting sugar is above 100 getting headaches and I’m still getting up 2x at night to urinate. I follow a 90/10 rule with diet, yoga 3xweek, walk 3 miles everyday, meditate. I take DNS, mg, c, b complex, omega, zinc daily. What am I missing? Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral What is the best natural or clean ingredient lube? I’ve heard of coconut oil. Do you recommend this or any other brands/ingredients? Also curious to get your take on the new Oura beta staging. I’m seeing drastic differences of 2 or more hours for my deep sleep, for example. Curious if you have a take on any of the research they’ve released and why this looks so different from my past results. Luann: Hello Dr. Cabral! You recommend natural Gatorade (sea salt and lemon / lime juice in water) to replenish electrolytes. Do you recommend an additional electrolyte supplement for athletes or do you instead recommend they drink additional servings of natural Gatorade? What should we look for and what should we avoid if looking for a “premade” electrolyte supplement (such as Nuun, ConcenTrace, LMNT, or Re-Lyte)? Do you have any recommendations? Thank you! Christina: Hi Dr Cabral. Thank you for taking the time to answer my question. I got covid in April 2022. It was very mild and I recovered within 3 days. Then I started experiencing general anxiety and panic attacks. It’s been 8 months of hell. If I had to do some tests which would be the most important ones? Is there anytime I can do in the meantime while waiting for the tests and results to help. Thanks so much Audrey: Hi Dr. Cabral, I tried giving your liquid omega 3 to my 15 month old and she absolutely would not take it. I mixed it in smoothie, oatmeal, other foods etc and it totally changes the taste of food. Any advice on how I can get her to take it? She used to love salmon and now not a fan of it and I’m worried she is not getting adequate omega 3’s. I’ve tried Nordic Naturals omega 3 gummies and she won’t take those either.

2570: Allergy Induced Asthma, Cutting Out Gluten & Dairy, Bananas & Candida, MCAS with Antimicrobials & Probiotics (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: Amy: Thank you for all you do! My son has extreme allergy induced asthma. I’ve ordered the Allergy Protocol and Sinus Support however he cannot swallow pills. I tried mixing in some apple juice but it tasted really terrible and he couldn’t drink it (he never complains about medicine/supplements). How can I get these supplements in him? Thanks Anonymous: Hi Dr, I have candida and bacterial imbalance and I am purchasing the CBO protocol. I know that I can get better but the biggest hurdle in my health journey is that I can't seem to stick to cutting out gluten and dairy permanently. I have had a sort of food addiction since I was a kid and cutting out sugar in my teens helped a bit. Gluten and dairy(lectins in general) give me extreme fatigue, depression, inflammation but even knowing this I cant seem to cut them out permanently. I know it is just a habit that I gotta break but nothing I have tried the past 20 years has worked. I feel so weak.I keep going through cycles of cutting it out for like 6 months and then I see a cookie while shopping and I am back to the same patterns. I need to get healthier I need more control. What can I do? Could you also please explain to me the link between gut bugs and hair loss. Also, how does one avoid getting candida or sibo again when eating soluble fiber, healthy sugar like fruits etc Thanks! Anonymous: Hi! I was wondering: why are bananas on the sensitive gut guide. Would they not cause an issue for someone with candida? A bit confused about what foods are okay while treating candida. Lots of contadictory info online lol. Thanks in advance! Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral I wanted to know if it was possible to trigger histamine intolerance/MCAS when taking antimicrobials and probiotics at the same time? I’ve tested positive for gut dysbiosis, low secretory IGA, high zonulin and 6 different types of mycotoxins. Low b-vitamins and low minerals. No candida, no h pylori and no heavy metals toxicity.

2564: Tourette's Syndrome, Chronic Cough, Hair Loss, Lowering A1C & Blood Glucose (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… Zach: Hi Dr. Cabral, I was officially diagnosed with Tourette's Syndrome at age 20, but have had it, if I recall correctly, probably since I was six years old. If there's one thing I've learned about TS, it's that we don't know much about it, but I am a firm believer that the foods we eat can change our chemistry for the better. I talked to some friends who also have TS and believe in a more wholistic approach to medicine, as well. They made me aware that Red40 food dye is a major trigger of their tics and this was common amongst the TS community. In your experience, are there any other foods that might increase severity of tics that I should avoid, and is there a lab test you would recommend for sorting out how I can best live with this neurological disorder in a way that doesn't involve pills? Renata: Hi Dr Cabral I’m wondering if you can help me. My son is five and since last September 2021 he keeps getting coughs every 4 to 5 weeks. It starts off as spasmodic and then gradually becomes looser. The coughs eased off in May and then started up again in October. I’m wondering could it be allergy related. He was on antibiotics at birth for 24 hours but breastfed exclusively for seven months. He suffered from reflux and had a lot of digestive discomfort. Once he was on Ion the digestive problems seemed to resolve, however, I’m wondering is this now manifesting through the respiratory system? I live in Ireland so testing is not great here. Thank you. Julia: Hello, Been losing mass amount of hair since the end of 2020. DHEA-s have been high for a very long time. Have stabilize Testosterone numbers since. Currently suffering from high cortisol and low b vitamins and low ferratin despite supplementing with iron. Additionally, Copper levels are very high despite supplementing higher amounts of Zinc. Recently did a heavy metal detox - copper slightly lowered but not much. CRP marker was at an 8 and has since change to a 2. Any tests i should run ? how can i get my hair back to normal Rupa: Hello! My dad is 78 years old and he is healthy and active but he can’t get his A1C level down from 6.2 and his fasting blood glucose is 108. He is vegetarian and walks everyday and practices IF each day at least 13-14 hours. Thank you!
