3033: Restore Menstrual Cycle, Benefits of Chlorella, Glucose Spike with Activity, Beta-Ecdysterone, Reduce TSH Naturally (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…   Kay: Hi Dr. Cabral, thank you and your team for everything you do, it has made a big difference in my life/my clients. I recently completely 21 day detox and am currently doing heavy metals - Estrogen balance for 60 days (wrapping up in 2 weeks) --> moving into CBO. Following destress protocol daily sauna, restorative workouts, meditation, breath work etc. I have missed my menstrual cycle twice since starting the protocols. I did feel like I was pmsing (Cramps/emotions) but no cycle, I did lose weight with FM21, but have been lighter/leaner without amenorrhea), I have bumped up carbs/healthy fats and put on 3 lbs since missing the first cycle to guard against this. I am wondering what else I can do to restore my cycle.   Katie: Hello Dr. Cabral! Big fan here! So thankful to be able to learn something new from you on a daily basis. Just curious your thoughts on Chlorella and if you take them. Just started 2 weeks ago and looking forward to achieving all the benefits it has to offer. Also been taking creatine and have seen some fat weight gain but do the same things and weight train 3xweek/cardio 2-3xweek. I've heard different things like you may gain weight from it. Any help is appreciated! Thanks for your time!   Kelsi: hi dr. cabral. ive noticed i have a decent spike in glucose on my CGM with activity (weight lifting) and sauna. does the benefit of resistance training and detoxing from the sauna outweigh the cortisol spike? thank you.   Greg: Hi Dr. Cabral - I have heard you talk about Turkestrone on a previous podcast. Are you familiar with beta-ecdysterone? If so, what are your thoughts on it and would you recommend it over other natural forms of steroids. Thank you   Safeen: I've greatly benefited from your podcast. I'm 42-year-old male with no history of chronic illnesses. I discovered about a year ago that my TSH levels are significantly elevated, (above 20 or 30 !), though my T3 and T4 levels are nearly normal. one of my symptom is diffiuclty getting back to sleep at night, and feeling sleepy while reading otherwise, I don't experience severe hypothyroidism symptoms. Despite taking prescribed Levothyroxine, my TSH still remains above normal. My doctor suggested inconsistency in taking the medication or improper storage as possible reasons. I'm curious if there are natural methods to reduce TSH. Also, how does high TSH affect hair transplant outcomes? Unfortunately, I don't have access to integrative health practitioners in my area. Thanks for your guidance.    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/3033 - - - 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?
