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: Darren: Good day Dr Cabral. You spoke about the ills of using mouthwash and the possible fallout with increased risk of hypertension and reduced nitric oxide production. As someone who regularly trains, I'm wondering if occasional alcohol drinking and using regular toothpaste may have similar affect on one's nitric oxide production given they may also destroy bacteria in mouth. Can you clear that up please and/or list other factors that can limit NOS production. Also, should one refrain from using L-arginine products? Thank you. Chelsea: Two questions about CBD calming gummies. If I have 2-3 before bed, does this break my fast or affect my blood sugar? I stop eating by 6pm. Second, can I have CBD oil/gummies on the detox? Is this considered a supplement, or should it be removed during the detox? Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral - I have a question about elimination. I only have a bowel movement once a day, in the morning. I have done CBO protocol, detoxes, etc. and my body feels pretty balanced. I eat normally (smoothie morning, 2x meals a day after that, healthy organic etc). I'd like to eliminate 2x a day as I get a bit bloated throughout the day but can never seem to - despite healthy eating, supplementation, high water intake, etc. Is this normal or unhealthy? Is there anything i can do to promote a second bowel movement during the latter half of the day? I think i'm a pitta/vata, if that helps give any context. Very active and healthy, good sleep, little to no dairy in my diet. last question unrelated! What's your take on the new oura ring beta sleep staging? my staging is super different! Erica: Hi Dr. Cabral! I had a question on the CBO protocol. About a year ago I tried taking it and month one appeared to help me, but I think the second month was potentially too strong for my body to handle. I had a lot of anxiety, increased sensitivity to foods, etc. At that point in time I stopped taking it, but I'm starting to realize it might have just been a herx reaction and I might have been on the right path (my candida levels just came back high on blood work). What would you recommend for someone that is very sensitive to taking things to approach this protocol? I think I have issues with histamines / mast cells so that might add to it. Always appreciate your podcast and your time answering these questions. - Erica Greg: Hi Dr. Cabral, My question is regarding protein and calorie consumption. I exercise 5 days per week and am pretty active. I usually consume approximately 2,000 calories and 170-200g of protein daily. My breakfast each morning is a protein shake that contains the following - Collagen powder, Truvani Vanilla Protein, BeWell Vanilla Protein (Beef Isolate), Organic Cacao Powder, Maca, Lion's Mane, Ashwagandha, Flax Seeds, Organic Kale, Dairy-free Unsweetened Coconut Yogurt (So-Delicious brand), Turmeric, Organic Cinnamon, Baruka Nuts, and Nuttzo Tahini seed butter. This equates to about 80g of protein, 50g of fat, and 40g carbs. I feel good doing this. However, I want to get your insight on whether or not this is too big of a meal and if long term this will hurt my digestive system. Thanks!

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… Zoe: Hello, I am a newly graduated pharmacist with a passion for lifestyle medicine. I am also a nutrition coach for friends, family, and members of my church. I have several patients that ask for help with IBD symptoms. I was hoping you could do a review of which digestive enzymes are used to help patients experiencing diarrhea verses constipation? Are these products similar? Any Amazon brands that you might recommend? Thanks in advance, huge fan of your functional medicine podcasts. I'm hoping to have a future career in function medicine as well. Jenna: Hey Dr. Cabral! Thank you for everything you do and for creating a truly helpful and transparent health and wellness community. My question is more of a career oriented one. I am graduating this upcoming summer and would like to pursue a career in research. I want to work for a place that conducts ethical and objective studies and was wondering if you had any insight into places with these values? I was thinking labs at Universities around the area would be my best bet. I know you may not be able to answer this question, but any information you can provide would be helpful in my job search. Thanks so much! Simone: Hi Doctor Cabral, what are your thoughts on the at-home microcurrent facial devices? They allegedly improve and build the facial muscles, lift, and tighten the skin, as well as smooth the lines. Do you think this is true and do you feel that these results are long-lasting? Thanks so much in advance for your answer! A.W: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thank you for the work you do. I really appreciate your insights and am hoping you can help me. I suffer from PMDD. It's hard to describe the severity of the symptoms I experience every month, especially on the mental side - bone-crushing sadness with weeping spells, hopelessness, feelings of worthlessness and overwhelm, I relive all my worst regrets, extreme sensitivity, erratic thoughts, heightened anxiety and jumpiness, inability to concentrate...I could keep going. Suffice it to say it disrupts my life and has damaged relationships. Do you have any insights into this condition? I also wondered your thoughts on the supplement "Jublilance." Thank you. Lisa: Hi doctor Cabral. I hope you're doing wonderful! I have a question about supplements and fasting. I always eat an early dinner (5pm at the latest) and fast for about 16 hours after. I've noticed that I wake up at 4am every night, and I feel it's due to low blood sugar. The best solution would be to eat something before bed, but I don't want to break my fast, which I mainly do for my gut health and autophagy. Are there any ways to keep my blood sugar stable throughout the night, without breaking the fast? With certain supplements that do not affect the fast? Thanks so much in advance for your answer, you are amazing! Lisa Jason: I use oil of Olay on my face every day after I get out of the shower. Is there a better, safer alternative? My skin tends to be dry, and I also like the fact to provide some sun protection of 15 spf.

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: Alicja: Hi Dr. Cabral, I want to thank you first. You are helping me so much in my healing journey. I recently repeated some tests and they show I no longer have hypothyroidism and Hashimoto and also I am no longer pre-diabetic! Thank you so much for all the wisdom you share. Today my question is about my daughter. She is 3.5 years old. When she was younger, she liked to apply pressure on her belly when she experienced belly discomfort. She developed quite the technique for that and I think accidentally she discovered pleasure somewhere else. Her "belly pushes" became different and when I ask her where does it feel good, she says it feels good in her vagina. I'm a bit shocked, because she is only 3.5 yo. Is this normal? Is there something I should do about it? If I even can do anything about it.) Rocco: Hi Stephen Cabral, thank you so much for your valuable podcasts. I recently did some lab testing in Australia and to no surprise to me (as I have anxiety) I have high cortisol. I want to do your 7 day detox. Am I ok to still do the two fasting days? Or should I go straight to days 3-7 Thanks ! Megan: Can Tourettes be maintained or "cured" through functional medicine practices? I am working with a functional med doctor now for both of my kids but not seeing results.. Do you have suggestions? Erin: I recently had surgery and had this before surgery too, but now it seems just even more—-muscle facia knots, big ones!! What is the underlying cause of this…i have one in my right lat area that is awful Michelle: Hi Dr. Cabral - I took a blended mushroom supplement and had some really strange side effects (nightmares, irrational thoughts, etc). I'm hoping you can explain what happened here and whether there's a way for me to take a mushroom supplement again. Here's some additional context. I have EBV reactivation and my naturopath gave me a 10+ mushroom supplement to strengthen my immune system. Over the course of the next 8 months, I started getting nightmares and irrational thoughts. For example, I had strong urges to steal things, to drive off the road, or to have outbursts in large company meetings. It was gradual and it wasn't until 8 months that I thought it might be associated to the mushrooms. I stopped taking them and the nightmares and irrational thoughts went away. Can you explain? Rickardo: Hi Stephen! Love your work and thanks for helping so many people get better. I note on one of your podcasts you spoke about a 1 day detox (short version of the 7 day detox that we can do weekly). I have found this very useful. Do you have a similar 1 day or shorter CBO protocol? I'm planning on doing the full CBO protocol soon as I have candida overgrowth as shown on organic acid test, and if it works, is there something I can do afterwards to ensure my candida overgrowth doesn't come back (I.e. use citricidal drops just on a weekend, or perhaps even for a week every 3 months, etc.). Basically I'm after any ideas for a very mini cbo protocol for maintenance after a full cbo has been completed to ensure it never returns Thanks 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/2577 - - - 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?
