The Cabral Concept

The number on the scale is going down, but do you know what you're actually losing?     When it comes to weight loss, seeing a lower number can feel like success. But weight loss doesn't always mean fat loss and losing muscle or other lean tissue can have a major impact on your metabolism, strength, physical function, and long-term health.     On today's show, I'm breaking down the important difference between losing weight and losing body fat, why preserving muscle should be a priority during weight loss, and how factors like strength training, protein, fiber, hydration, and micronutrients can support a healthier approach.     So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3876 to discover why the goal shouldn't simply be to lose weight, but to lose excess body fat while preserving your muscle for a stronger metabolism, better physical function, and healthier aging.     Enjoy the show, and let me know your thoughts!   - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/3876 - - - 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…   Alyssa: Hi! After having our first baby I started getting eczema on my hands. Very itchy, small bumps with clear liquid in them. It flared up again after having our second baby and my hands are now extremely dry, cracked, have the little bumps and what I've read could be a wet eczema. Any idea why this is happening or how to clear it up? Thank you!      M: Hi Dr. Cabral, Firstly, thank you for such a brilliant podcast. I've learned so much from you over the years and really appreciate the practical way you share your knowledge. My 10-year-old son was recently diagnosed with a plantar fibroma after we noticed a firm lump in the arch of his foot and had it confirmed by ultrasound. I listened to your HouseCall episode #2011 where you discussed plantar fibromatosis and recommended proteolytic enzymes for adults. What approach would you recommend for a 10-year-old? Are there any underlying factors you would investigate, or natural/conservative therapies you would recommend to help prevent the fibroma from growing or potentially reduce it? He is very healthy and active and currently takes DNS, magnesium and omega-3s. Thank you.       Mohamed: Hello Dr.Cabral, just beginning my 7 day detox. Looking forward to it, Ive been researching a lot lately about ampK and Nrf2. The benefits of up regulation of ampk are incredible, I know you also touched on this. But can you elaborate and give a actionable plan with diet, exercise, supplements to boost ampk and get benefits from Lipid Control • Glucose • Oxidative Stress • Inflammatin • Endothelial •Toxic Protection • Apoptosis of maligniant cells and not in normal cells in response to a stress. From my research, berberine came up. But are there others? Thanks!       Jennifer: Our pediatric dentist has recommended that my 4 and a half year old daughter get crowns on every tooth because she was born with a bright white line along the gum line of every tooth and within a year had cavities on every single tooth. We got filings and silver paint to try to remedy the situation but within a year after all the fillings either came out or more cavities erupted on every tooth. We brush twice a day and against my original wishes do use fluoride for her now as well. I think we have to move forward with the dental work but can you tell me which lab tests I should run to make sure there's nothing else severe going on. I can use my subscription perk to do HTMA but if I need to do more I can. Our dentist said she had only seen one other case like this in her 25 years.       Mary: Had bloodwork run. I take 2.8g Omega 3 (1,400 EPA, 1,000 DHA), Vit D 5,000, Garlic (Aged fermented black garlic 600 mg, garlic allium (400 mg), Berberine 2x day (Equilife), cell boost, Nattokinase (Equilife), red yeast rice 1,200 mg includes 200 mg coQ10, and other supplements not related to what I'm writing about. My total cholesterol went from 210 to 226 from two years ago, triglicerides 119 to 330, HDL 61 to 46 & LDL 126 to 133. I eat very little meat, although I do eat cheese and sweets. I walk 15,000-20,000 steps a day. Only changes I can think of is in the last 1 1/2 years I have a way out of the ordinary amount of stress because of several factors. I ate (1/4c) steel cut oats every morning for years & recently switched to DNS shakes. Added psyllium. Not sure what else to do.     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/3873 - - - 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:    Angela: I have stage 1 lipedema. recently last 3 years gained about 30lbs. I am 43 and looking for help. I have had lipedema for as long as I can remember feeling my thighs were just SO fatty even when I was thiner. 120-132 lbs I want to feel like me again       Erik: Hi Dr. C, I was hoping to get some guidance about protocols. As of now I'm half way through the mold protocol after finishing the CBO protocol this spring. I had pretty bad bacterial overgrowth and mold markers. Ive been out of the mold for a year and was feeling good through the CBO protocol. However, the last week of the CBO protocol was the week of my yearly fishing trip. I had fun but it also involves a lot of processed foods and alcohol. This resulted in my bad joint pain starting mid meal coming back and almost feeling like Im starting over. On the mold protocol the joint pain during and post meal has continued despite eating lower histamine and taking DAO. Im almost 2 months in taking the clean gut probiotic and healthy gut support. Any suggestions what to do after heavy metal detox.     Alicja: Hello Dr. Cabral, Thank you for all you do. I'm your long time listener. I'm 43 yo and recently I started noticing my heart working differently. From time to time I experience very forceful heart beat. It is very noticeable and uncomfortable, like a hard thump. I'm not sure what is happening and what is causing it. It happens at random times of days, more and more often, and always at bed time when I try to go to sleep. Last night I counted and had the "hard thump" heart beat about every 10 seconds. Is this dangerous? What should I do about it? My puls is normal and I'm prone to low blood pressure. I'm not out of breath, but when I experience the hard thumps, it is harder to breathe. Why did I started experiencing this?       Amy: I heard you mention on an earlier podcast that you have worked with people that have JAK2 mutation. Is there actually a way to treat this naturally without using pharmaceuticals? My mom has this and they had her on a low dose chemo drug. We are wondering what (if anything) can be done naturally to help lower her platelet count. Thank you Dr. Cabral!     Anonymous: Hi! Hope you're doing well. I saw a reel on IG that we shouldn't mix bananas and blueberries because blueberries contain flavonoids and banana contains PPO which breaks down flavonoids? Is there any truth to this? And secondly, what do you think about the viral olive oil and lemon shots in the morning? They list so many benefits. If you are a proponent, how much of each would you use? Third question: is dancing a good way of exercising? I don't particularly enjoy other types of exercise like strength training, but dancing is something I could do every other day.. sometimes I could also do pilates but have to force myself to do it.. what would you recommend on a weekly basis? Thank you for your comprehensive answers and all you do, you're such a gem!       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/3872 - - - 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?

Can proteolytic enzymes support a healthier brain as you age?     We often think of enzymes like nattokinase and serrapeptase in relation to circulation and cardiovascular health, but emerging research suggests they may have a much broader role when it comes to brain health.     On today's show, I'm exploring how these proteolytic enzymes may support healthy cerebral circulation, help manage inflammation, and influence some of the processes associated with cognitive aging.     We'll look at the connection between blood flow and brain health, emerging research on nattokinase and amyloid plaque, and what studies have found about inflammation, neuroprotective factors, and cognitive function.     So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3870 to learn more about proteolytic enzymes for the brain and how supporting circulation and healthy inflammatory pathways may play a role in long-term brain health.     Enjoy the show, and let me know your thoughts!   - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/3870 - - - 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?

Could Viagra actually help fight cancer?      New research is raising some fascinating questions about a medication we've traditionally thought of as simply a way to improve blood flow.     On today's show, I dive into the research surrounding Viagra, Cialis, and a class of medications known as PDE5 inhibitors, and what scientists are discovering about their potential role in cancer research.     We'll explore how these medications may impact the immune system, why researchers are looking at their effects on cancer cells, and what we still need to learn before we can draw any real conclusions.     Join me on today's Cabral Concept 3868 to learn what the latest research is revealing about Viagra and its potential connection to cancer.   - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/3868 - - - 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?

You can't do everything in this one lifetime, which means every decision you make comes with a trade-off, and ultimately, a choice about which regrets you're willing to live with.     On today's show, I dive into why trying to avoid all sacrifice can create unnecessary stress, and how looking at your life from the perspective of your future self can help you identify what truly matters most.     We'll explore how to rethink the choices we make, where we often place our time and energy, and a simple perspective that can help bring more clarity to the decisions that shape our lives.     Join me on today's Cabral Concept 3867 to learn how choosing your regrets can help you create a more intentional, meaningful, and fulfilling life.     Enjoy the show, and let me know your thoughts!   - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/3867 - - - 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…   Spencer: Hello Dr. Cabral Working my way out of burn out, and gut issues. Trying to work in b vitamins, but getting some overstimulation. I already shifted to methyl free b9,12 as they were giving me issues likely because of gut health. Should I try to work them in first, or work on lowering stress first? I wanted to have b vitamins in my rotation before attempting the CBO protocol, but not sure if I'm able to. I know excessive oxidative stress etc in the gut can cause methylation issues, but you still need b vitamins for optimal gut health right, so it seems like a chicken and egg scenario. If you could nudge me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it. Thanks for all you do. Almost done with level 1 IHP and looking forward to meeting you at the Reimagining Health Summit in November.      Shirra: I have symptoms of MCAS I am breastfeeding where to I begin to heal it what tests to order?       Sai: Hello Dr. Cabral, thank you for all your work! 38M, healthy lifestyle, but chronic GERD with a minimal hiatal hernia since 33. On/off PPIs for 5+ years. Had 4 endoscopies in 6 years—just told to take meds. Biopsies/labs confirmed negative for H. pylori and Candida.Off PPIs for months and OK if I eat perfectly. But just one wrong food triggers an intense vicious cycle, requiring weeks of medications to reset. No bloating, constipation, diarrhea, or indigestion. Why won't this tissue heal, and why am I so hyper-sensitive?Recently, a tiny bit of decaf coffee caused severe pain, sudden bowel movements, and a strong sensation of food stuck in my upper abdomen (must walk to move it). Back on meds now. Is chronic reflux inevitable with a minor hernia, or am I missing a root cause? Thank       Anonymous: Here's what's happened: 2023: Abdominal ultrasound showed a 7 mm gallbladder polyp; I had no symptoms. 2024: Endoscopy/biopsies found chronic atrophic gastritis, intestinal metaplasia mainly in the stomach body, and ECL/neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia. The pattern suggested autoimmune gastritis/pernicious anemia. No H. pylori, dysplasia, or cancer was found. Follow-up was planned every 2–3 years. July 2026: Repeat endoscopy looked reassuring with no obvious concerning area. Mapping biopsies found a tiny 1 mm, Grade 1, well-differentiated gastric neuroendocrine tumor. The doctor said the visible bump was fully removed. No dysplasia or usual stomach carcinoma was found. Plan: conservative monitoring and repeat endoscopy in 6–12 months. My question: Can this/ autoimmune gastritis be reverse.       Nicole: Hi Stephen, A bit of background: I suffer with migraines, which started in 2021 around the time I was living in a mold-exposed environment (I also received the COVID shot that same year). I'm based in Australia. I had urine mycotoxin testing that came back elevated for ochratoxin A, aflatoxins, trichothecenes, and zearalenone. Based on those results, I purchased your Mold Protocol. I've also put on significant weight since the mold exposure. I also recently had a stool microbiome test done, which showed low levels of several beneficial bacteria (including Akkermansia muciniphila and various Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium species), along with an elevated Phocaeico     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/3866 - - - 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:    Michele: My mother has myasthenia gravis - can she take a probiotic instead of a PPI. For acid relux       Steve: I have a BMI of 35 and I'm active. I'm 47 years old and need to lose the visceral fat. What's is the easiest way to lose the visceral?       Anonymous: Hi, dr. C.I have a question about low blood pressure.We always hear about high blood pressure but what are all the reasons for low blood pressure and is it also dangerous?I've always had low blood pressure &the last time I had it measured it was 91/64 so the nurse was worried &asked me if I was ok.Is it also connected to heart rate?Oura says my resting heart rate has lowered over the past year, now my baseline is 48 (where the line on the readiness tab is full), sometimes my resting heart rate is 47. It was elevated a year ago &when I asked my doctor, they said around 60 is normal for resting heart rate, so is 47 really too low then? My HRV varies between 30s and 50s, so not very high. I'm contributing it to hot summer temperatures as well, but not sure so I would love your input, thank u       Anonymous: Hello, hope you & your family are doing great! I checked your shows on irish sea moss & what I got from it is that it's not something you would recommend as there are so many other supplements you would suggest before it. My question is, is it in any way damaging considering it contains carrageenan? Is it different if this is natural carrageenan (since it's apparently derived from irish sea moss)? I'm puzzled because you say we should avoid carrageenan but you don't say that about Irish Sea moss & to me it seems like we should avoid it? I read carrageenan can cause intestinal inflammation, digestive discomfort & a weakened gut barrier but in alkaline diet the irish sea moss is everything & is supposed to help heal the gut… so confusing! That's why I'm asking, I really trust your opinion.       Sienna: Hi Dr Cabral - three questions please that seem to have different approaches. (Avoiding Dr. Google) BEST time to take probiotics - does it *actually matter? Depend on the strain? Listened to your podcasts but some refer to on waking (empty stomach) others with food... any general guidance please? Proteolytic Enzymes: 2 "on waking" - empty stomach.. is it ok to combine these with any other "on waking" supplements? Any exceptions? 3. Low Ferritin (21): how long after supplementing could I retest bloods to see any improvements? I know it's not about 1 marker, only Ferritin was LOW. S Iron: 18, S-Transferrin: 2.28, Transferrin Saturation: 31% so the rest "in range"?? does this make a difference? less risk? Iron response has 25mg - would you say that is good dose? thank you!!!

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…   Dana: My 8 year old niece lives in a Northern state and gets very itchy, irritated skin in the heat and has since she was about 3. In the summers it is almost impossible for her to enjoy being outside because she gets heat rashes or eczema type reactions and gets so itchy. Her pediatricians just say she has sensitive skin and give steroid cream to help, tell her to stay indoors, and have no further advice. They have done skin allergy tests with none found. If it's connected at all, she and her dad both have constant sinus fullness and drippy nose. What could be causing symptoms like this? Is there anything she can try without testing first to keep costs low?     Tricia: Hi Dr Cabral, after two years of fighting with myself and trying everything, I'm considering trying a GLP, very low dosage. I know you don't recommend this but for your patients that are taking a GLP 1 drug are there any specific supplements you recommend they take while on this drug? Of course, DNS, D, Mag, Fish Oil, probiotic but what about hair supplement, eye heath, Metavolve, or digestive enzymes? I hear one of the side effects is heart burn. Would really appreciate guidance here. I'm giving it my all until January but deciding. Thank you so much!       Luis: Hi Dr. Cabral, I've been having consistently sticky stools that cling to the toilet. They don't always appear mucousy, and they usually sink. Online sources often attribute this to low fiber, but it happens even when I eat fiber-rich foods like sea moss. I drink plenty of water, and my urine is almost always clear. My stools feel sluggish moving through my intestines, so I take Mag07 every night. Nearly every time I eat, I develop GI pain, mostly in my upper abdomen/chest and almost right away, and I often notice undigested food in my stool, especially plant matter. I've only been diagnosed with functional dyspepsia and mild gastritis (via endoscopy). My doctor also ran a stool test in 2024, and it came back normal. I occasionally have pale stools, so I also take UDCA regularly. Help.       Anonymous: Hi Doc! I've worked long and hard on my health with lots of improvements and disease reversal. I still have Hashimotos which has slowing been improving through lifestyle changes. A lingering issue besides the Hashimotos is vericose/spider veins. All the women in my family have them and I started getting them in my 20s. I'm 37 now and they're only getting worse. The veins themselves don't seem to hurt, but my legs ache at the end of every day. Heat, sitting, and standing for long periods make it worse. They're so unsightly and I'm horribly frustrated that I can't heal my poor circulation. I'm very active and always moving. Clean whole food Mediterranean diet. No alcohol or smoking. I have to elevate my legs or sit in cold water to get any relief. Is this related to thyroid disorders?       S: Hi Dr. Cabral. Would love to hear your thoughts on the studies that have recently been discussed about risks of glucosamine with brain health and who should not take this supplement. Dementias often start long before symptoms show up. I believe the studies showing risk to brain health with glucosamine were done on people with issues already. But if decline starts before symptoms, how would you know if it is safe for an individual? What is the benefit risk trade off? Any concerns or things to consider for this supplement? Additionally, would this be contraindicated if there is a family history or genetic predisposition such as an APOE4genotype? Thanks for taking the time to answer so many of our questions.    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/3859 - - - 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:    Mohamed: Good morning dr.cabral. Thanks for all you do. Ive been a regularly viewer of your podcast and your work along with Equilife is incredible. 2 part question, regarding your website with all your research into cancer. Not asking for medical advice but I'm wondering about the "Budwig recipe", apparently mixing Organic cold-pressed flax oil along with cottage cheese is great breakfast to support. What are your opinions on it? rich cottage cheese with omega-3-rich flaxseed oil, aiming to improve cellular oxygenation and overall fat metabolism is what I understood? Also have you or any of your wellness clients had any anecdotal good experiences with it? Or with the famous Ivermectin       Lisa: Hello Dr. Cabral, Thank you for providing such helpful information. Your podcasts about finding the root cause of disease resonate with me because I am studying naturopathic medicine and want to help my family and others uncover the causes of their health concerns. I am in my late 40s, a single mom to a 4 year old, and know in my soul this is where I am meant to be. However, I am exhausted balancing full-time work as a sonographer, motherhood, school, my health, and a toxic work environment. I have considered selling my house, moving closer to family, and taking a year away from work to focus on school. What advice would you give someone considering such a major change and financial risk while trying to protect her health and her child's stability? Thank You, Lisa       Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral! My husband has been struggling with rosacea on his face and what looks like a fungal over growth on his back. Both are getting worse and damaging his confidence. Heat is a big trigger. Lots of lifestyle tweaks are needed. He drinks beer multiple times a week, consumes a less than ideal diet outside our home. He eats well at home, works out every day. He's reluctant to invest the time and effort to heal himself. He's done the big 5 in the past but did not follow the plan very closely and then went right back to the way he was living previously. I would love your thoughts and will kindly pass them along. I know I can't want his healing more than he does. I'd also like to ask for prayers from you and the community that he changes his heart and pursues his best self. Thanks!       Matt: Hi Dr. Cabral, thanks for all you do. I have seen opinions that taking psyllium husk too close to medications will make them less effective because of the slowed absorption. I believe you add it to your morning smoothie, so I am assuming you disagree with this opinion since you would not take consume psyllium and have it affect the vitamins and nutrients in your smoothie. Would love to hear your thoughts. Thank you       Sienna: Hi Dr Cabral! I've searched the podcast archive & been through just hair loss research & personal journey but wanted to get hour thoughts on reversing alopecia. Late onset.. looks more like male pattern balding then complete alopecia. 51 yo male, had hair when he was younger. Very little on body, some on head. Is it possible to regrow? I listened to your episode on the regrowth breakthrough "waking up dead hair follicles…" would this work with Alopecia? If you couldn't lab test… would you say it's possible to reverse & regrow and what would you do….. since yours was more linked to stress/virus? Would so appreciate your thoughts… as you've shared (almost) anything is reversible…… Thank you as always, Sienna      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/3858 - - - 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?

What if improving type 2 diabetes wasn't simply about cutting carbohydrates, but about improving the health of your cells and metabolism?     On today's show, I explore research showing that a high-carbohydrate, high-fiber diet can lead to remarkable improvements in blood sugar, insulin requirements, and cholesterol, even in people with type 2 diabetes.     I'll break down why insulin resistance develops, how inflammation, visceral fat, poor sleep, and processed foods can contribute to metabolic dysfunction, and why lowering blood sugar doesn't always mean the underlying problem has been resolved.     So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3855 to discover what this research reveals about carbohydrates, insulin resistance, and the role of fiber in supporting long-term metabolic health.     Enjoy the show, and let me know your thoughts!   - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/3855 - - - 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?

Heart disease remains one of the biggest health risks we face, but understanding what's happening inside your arteries can give you a much clearer picture of your cardiovascular health.     On today's show, I break down the difference between hard, calcified plaque and soft plaque, why soft plaque can be more vulnerable to rupture, and how arterial plaque develops in the first place.     I'll explain what a CAC score can and can't tell you, and how other options can help assess your cardiovascular health.     So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3854 to discover the differences between hard and soft plaque, which tests can identify each type, why inflammation and other underlying factors matter, and what you can do to better understand your cardiovascular risk.     Enjoy the show, and let me know your thoughts!   - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/3854 - - - 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?

If you've ever started working toward a goal, felt like nothing was happening, and wondered if it was time to quit, today's episode may change the way you think about progress.     On today's show, I explore why most people quit before their results have a chance to appear, and why progress is rarely as linear as we expect.     I'll break down why plateaus are a normal part of the process, how to measure your inputs instead of constantly focusing on outcomes, and why making small adjustments can help you move through periods when progress seems to stall.     So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3853 to discover why you shouldn't confuse "not yet" with "not working," how to create your own six-month "no quit window," and why the breakthrough you're waiting for may be closer than you think.     Enjoy the show, and let me know your thoughts!   - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/3853 - - - 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…   Ericka: Hi Dr. Cabral! I was wondering if the hydrogen tablets are just as good as the machine you use? I want to save for it, but until then, are the tablets just as good?      Michelle:  My son and daughter-in-law are 20 weeks pregnant with their first child and just found out their unborn baby has Cystic Fibrosis. They are extremely health conscious individuals with food, exercise, sauna, yoga and meditation and are curious how to begin navigating this new diagnosis from a functional medicine perspective once the baby is born while also working with their CF medical team. You've answered one question about CF several years ago stating to be cautious with mucus causing foods and be careful with food combining. Do you any other thoughts you feel would be helpful?      Maria: You're an amazing person. Keep sharing your knowledge.I couldn't find anything on ulcers. Do you have any treatment for them? Thanks again for all you do..       Donelle: Hi Dr. Cabral - I'm currently finishing up IHP Level 1 and loving it so far! I have a specific question regarding a condition my husband has developed over the last year+. He has hemifacial spasms on one side of his face. It started with an eye twitch but spread down his cheek and toward his mouth over time. He had a head/neck MRI done. No issues noted. Currently, he is receiving botox injections in the area every 3-4 months as needed. He takes good supplements (fish oil, magnesium, DNS, berberine, etc.) but nothing helps to resolve this. Any advice you can share would be most appeciated! Thank you, Donelle       Denice: My son has been suffering with Pandas. Main symptom is OCD.

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: Good day Dr.Cabral, your doing great work! Can't imagine how proud your family and team are to have you. My question is regarding elevated CRP (didn't do HS-CRP) just did bloodwork for CRP. Which was 13. Also Lip (a) is 180.. which is high due to genetics. In combination.. A1C is creeping up at 6.1.. I know your not giving health advice however, what foods, products help? Berberine? Omega 3s? Thanks!       Matthew: Hi Dr Cabral-thanks for everything you do. My question is on turmeric. I have seen posts that turmeric supplements, especially those that also contain black pepper, are harmful to the liver. Do you agree? If so, what about turmeric that do not include the black pepper? If turmeric supplement's harm to the liver is higher than the benefit, do you have suggestions on a replacement? Thank you     Jasmine: I think my daughter has Lipedema, I've watched a few of your videos and have researched this topic but have never had this topic addressed: she drinks about a liter and a half of water a day, but doesn't urinate that much, never gets up at night, can go the whole day without. Is this affecting her Lipedema and any info you can share, your ideas/opinions would be appreciated. We do things holistically, no drugs unless absolutely necessary (emergency situations), and I don't think diuretics are the way to go. Thanks for any info, Jasmine       Andrea: Hi Dr. Cabral, What is your opinion of the laser therapy for the brain for improved cognition, lymphatic flow? I was made aware of PBM would love to know your opinion. Thanks for everything, grateful for you!       Anonymous: Good morning Dr.Cabral, How would you go about supporting the body naturally dealing with Hepatitis B (chronic)..

Faster weight loss on the scale doesn't always mean greater fat loss, but could the type of diet you choose influence how much body fat you lose, how satisfied you feel, and how much you naturally eat?     On today's show, I explore the research comparing ketogenic, low-carb, and whole-food plant-based diets and what these approaches can teach us about sustainable weight loss.     I'll break down why rapid weight loss can sometimes be misleading, how food quality and fiber may influence calorie intake and satiety, and why there may not be one "best" diet for everyone.     So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3848 to separate fact from fiction and discover what the research really says about keto, plant-based eating, fat loss, and long-term weight management.     Enjoy the show, and let me know your thoughts!   - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/3848 - - - 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?

Willpower is often seen as the key to achieving our health and life goals, but what if your environment has a much greater influence on your success?     On today's show, I explore why relying on willpower alone can make lasting change more difficult and how intentionally designing your environment can make healthy habits easier to maintain.     I'll break down how to reduce friction around the habits you want to build, make unhealthy choices harder, create supportive routines, and surround yourself with people who help keep you aligned with your goals.     So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3846 to discover how changing your environment may be the missing piece to creating lasting change and becoming the person you want to be.     Enjoy the show, and let me know your thoughts!   - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/3846 - - - 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…   Bettina: Hi Dr. Cabral, I'm a 46‑year‑old woman in perimenopause. Two years ago an ENT confirmed slight hearing loss in my left ear. I was asked to return for follow‑up but haven't done so. My grandmother developed early hearing loss and needed a hearing aid around age 40-50. I've never had repeated ear infections, though the ENT noted small spots on my eardrum ( i think it was). I'm self‑conscious about hearing aids at my age, and I'm concerned about EMF exposure from modern hearing aids that connect to apps. I would appreciate your thoughts. Thank you so much for your thoughts.       Ali: Hello Dr.Cabral, is magnesium supplementation always necessary? Based on Cronometer, I get about 600mg of magnesium from food alone (mainly soaked and pressure cooked legumes to minimize phytic acid and from avocados, potatoes and various vegetables). I also get only about 500mg of calcium from food so I supplement daily 350mg of calcium from marine algae calcium. Whenever I tried to supplement magnesium on top of my dietary intake, I get restless legs at night despite the supplemental calcium I get. I tried all quality forms of magnesium and the only one that doesn't cause is about 50mg of L-threonate. So does it mean that my magnesium intake from food is sufficient? My HTMA shows good balance between calcium & magnesium.       Nicci: Dear Dr. Cabral, I am writing you from Europe, Austria. I have always had on the lover level white blood cells (4 or 5). Now They are as low as 2.2, This is the first time they are so low. I will now have to go to the hospital and they will check it. But I just want to know your opinion from your experience with other patients. I have had a few virus infections in the last three months, including sinusitis. And I am also very stressed. What do you see in other patients with 2.2. white blood cells? Neutrophile are 1000/m3. Hemoglobin is 12 but I started taking Iron 10 days before blood test because I felt cold all the time, Iron is now 70, ferritin 41. Trans ferritin 12,9%. B6, B12, zink and copper are ok. Gamma GT is a little to high 55! I don´t drink alcohol. Thank You       Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral! I love your podcast and have learned so much from listening during my work commute. I was wondering if you could give some insight on syringomyelia. I was diagnosed with a syrinx a few years ago after experiencing some tingling/numbness in my toes which eventually turned into pain throughout my legs and feet. I'm on the lowest dose of pregabalin which helps enough to get me through the day. I would love to stop taking it though and heal my body naturally as the chronic pain has become exhausting. Do you have any suggestions or advise?       Riela: Hello! I listened to your podcast on A-Z guide to Children's Health (#858). Does this one apply to babies younger than 1 year old? I do not intend to get a medical shot for me or my baby, and I intend to breastfeed. I was wondering what I could stock up on that would work for babies of that age, to prevent/help treat any viruses/infections that he might get, since he will be born in November.     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/3845 - - - 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:    Katie: Hi! Love listening to the podcast and grateful you give a chance to submit questions! I had an allergic reaction on my face and neck a few months ago. Derm called it atopic dermatitis. This came on after a micro needling treatment. First and last unfortunately. That has all resolved now, but I'm left with this hypopigmentation around my mouth and neck (neck has the worst inflammation) where spots are white now, especially if I tan. Any suggestions on how to resolve this loss of pigment? Thanks!!       Anonymous: Hi! I am 34 years old. I have always thought I have PMDD, after ovulation I feel more sad/depressed/anxious amongst other things. I also have very painful heavy periods for context if it's helpful. I noticed the last 3-4 months the symptoms I have leading up to my period have been changing. I have started sweating more, which also smells more which has never been an issue for me. I also feel a little nauseous for a few days before my period amongst other things that aren't coming to mind right now. I'm wondering if something could have shifted in me to cause this? Do you have any insight, if I could afford to test I would, but I was hoping you'd have some insight for me. Thank you so much.       Trish: Hi Dr Cabral - I wrote in a few weeks ago asking the difference between Estrogen support and balance. The reason I'm not sure which one to use is I took your individual labs you offer for Estrogen and Progesterone. Results on both were in the yellow low range tip of red range. The email recommended I take progesterone support and Estrogen support but I was told I was estrogen dominant which I thought would mean I take Estrogen balance. This is why I'm confused as to which estrogen to take. I take all the other products the email protocol is recommending. Thanks for your advice. You are so appreciated for the work you do.       Mohamed: Hey Dr.Cabral, hope all is well. My question is regarding Reverse Osmosis water and lower pH versus alkalinity (CaCo3). These two are different from my understanding, the alkalinity is the water's ability to buffer acid/resist changes in pH. If Aquatru RO water filters everything, the alkalinity would in theory be very minimal. In comparison, Gerolsteiner or other high Bicarb mineral water have higher buffering capability. I'm asking regarding my research into urine pH and tumor (microenvironment). I want to increase urine pH along with other strategies. Since tumor Microenvironemt (extracellular) is typically acidic. Want to try increasing alkalinity and observe via urine pH to enhance effect of other strategies such as diet etc. How can I increase alkalinity of water? and best foods?        Paige: Hey Dr Cabral! I found I have some sort of bump over my liver April of 2024 seemingly superficial and I notice no symptoms or pain or discomfort with it is just annoying when I do yoga as it stays local but I can feel it move slightly in the local area. I just did a 21 day detox and felt like it may have gone down a little. I am going to be doing the big 5 test to determine any other underlined concerns that may help but just curious what you would do in my circumstance if anything. Thank you I greatly appreciate your time and knowledge Sir.

There's been a lot of discussion recently about whether a high-fat ketogenic diet can actually cause blood sugar levels to double and lead to insulin resistance.     While the headlines may make it sound simple, the reality is much more nuanced. The way your body responds to a ketogenic diet can depend on how long you follow it, the types of fats you consume, your overall calorie intake, and your current metabolic health.     On today's show, I break down the latest research behind the claims surrounding keto and blood sugar, explain what may actually be happening when blood sugar rises after following a low-carbohydrate diet, and share why the right nutrition plan may look different depending on your individual needs.     So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3841 to discover whether a high-fat ketogenic diet really can double your blood sugar, what the research may be missing, and why taking a personalized approach to nutrition may be more important than following any one diet plan.     Enjoy the show, and let me know your thoughts!   - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/3841 - - - 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…   Maria: Hi, thank you for all you do. You're just an amazing person. My friend had a painful kidney stone in the Er , doctor said it was so close coming out per the images, gave him some morphine we went home next day no pain so at that point, we thought he passed it. A month later the same thing , after images they saw that it got stuck in a comfortable place, so they had to do a procedure to get it out. Meanwhile, he was having stomach issues, diarrhea, couldn't eat, and stomach hurt. Then his mind started racing then he had anxiety. They are giving them pills to take for the pain and then now they're giving him anxiety pills. He's never had stomach problems since the kidney stone happen. What can we do next? Thank you!!!      Bryan: Hi Dr. Cabral. I'm assuming this is a question you've been asked before or least know the answer to but I wanted to ask you something on sugar. If you had to choose between added sugar or sugar alcohols (Erythritol etc) being the worse of two evils which one would you pick? I thought the answer would definitely be added sugar but I've heard a number of health "experts" in this field talk negatively about sugar alcohols. Just curious to get your take and clear up the issue once and for all.       Bettina: Hi Dr. Cabral,I'd like your recommendation on what to do if someone is exposed to the hairs from the oak processionary caterpillar (Thaumetopoea processionea). This species has unfortunately spread to Denmark, where it normally doesn't exist.Contact can cause: Skin: Caterpillar dermatitis with intense itching, redness, and blisters. Eyes: Painful conjunctivitis. Respiratory system: Coughing, throat irritation, and in rare cases asthma‑like breathing issues.What would you suggest supporting or doing after exposure? Thank you so much.        Richard: Hello Dr. Cabral, thank you so much for doing your daily podcasts. All the listeners including myself learn so much from them and the information you provide is invaluable for us to help ourselves and our loved ones. Over the years I've incorporated what I've learned from you & I can feel that I'm slowly getting better. I'm pretty sure that soon I will put my autoimmune disease into remission and finally heal for good! I just have a quick question. I will be taking the Vinco thyroid glandular again soon and I was wondering if it can be taken with things like florafilm, proteolytic enzymes & probiotics while maintaining its full effectiveness? I take the latter 2 daily and I would like to continue while adding the glandular. Is there anything that it can't be taken with?

But if someone, hypothetically speaking, wanted to address the root cause of an (unknown) liver mass (biopsy results pending), with elevated liver enzymes.. Could the CBO protocol work. if not.. what foods can optimize the gut. Currently using Cermonial Organic Matcha green tea, Mediterrian diet (EVOO).. melatonin. Any other good ones? Thanks P.S thanks for introducing me to the wonders of Sulforaphane (broccoli sprouts)!        Struggling in Texas: Hi! I did allergy testing at the allergist: no foods but SO MANY environmentally. Grasses, trees, molds, cockroaches….what direction do I go? My dr said shots but don't love that thought. I have to do something because we have allergens year round and I constantly have so much inflammation from it. Thank you!        Elizabeth: Hello Dr. Cabral! I wanted to know what your thoughts are on microdosed Gummies that contain CBD and THC? So thankful for you and for your teaching.       Vicky: I'm so thankful to have discovered you Dr. Cabral- appreciate your generosity + support for all of us out here pursuing wellness. Do you know what causes people to smell smoke when there isn't any? It had gone away for months, since I started down your protocol roadmap actually, but recently a cold turned into the sinus infection (which it often does) and the smoke smell is back on and off again. So far I've completed all protocols before mold, and half of mold. Mold detox put my immune system under a lot of stress which contributed to my getting a sinus infection for the first time since starting my detox journey. I have many system issues like many of the people you help - nervous, hormonal (neurotransmitters), immune, and digestive to name a few.

Fasting can be one of the most powerful tools for supporting overall health, body transformation, and longevity, but for many people, it can also feel difficult to maintain.     The good news is that fasting doesn't have to be an all-or-nothing approach. There are ways to make intermittent fasting more realistic, sustainable, and easier to fit into your daily routine.     On today's show, I explain why some people struggle with fasting and explore the factors that can contribute to hunger, fatigue, cravings, and feelings of deprivation.     We'll also look at how to approach fasting in a way that works for your individual needs and discover simple strategies that can help make fasting easier and more enjoyable.     So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3834 to learn how to create a fasting routine you can actually stick with while supporting your long-term health and wellness goals.     Enjoy the show, and let me know your thoughts!   - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/3834 - - - 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?

Histamine issues are often blamed on the foods we eat, but the truth is that your body can produce excess histamine even when you are avoiding high histamine foods.     Many people eliminate foods like aged cheese, fermented foods, wine, and cured meats, yet continue to experience symptoms such as itching, hives, allergies, reflux, inflammation, and poor sleep.     On today's show, I explain why high histamine symptoms can occur even without consuming high histamine foods and uncover the hidden root causes that may be contributing to these reactions.     We'll explore how immune system imbalances, gut dysfunction, food sensitivities, environmental allergens, mold exposure, chronic stress, and other factors can all play a role in excess histamine production.     So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3833 to discover why you may be experiencing high histamine symptoms and the steps you can take to support your body's natural ability to rebalance and heal.     Enjoy the show, and let me know your thoughts!   - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/3833 - - - 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?

Most people become discouraged because they focus too heavily on the results they want instead of the daily actions they can control.     Whether you're trying to lose weight, improve your health, build a successful career, or strengthen your relationships, meaningful change rarely happens overnight. Lasting results are built through consistent habits and small actions repeated over time.     On today's show, I explain why focusing too heavily on the outcome can lead to frustration and discouragement and why shifting your attention toward the process can help you stay motivated and committed.     I'll share ways you can change your focus and approach your goals differently so you can stay motivated through the ups and downs of the journey.     So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3832 to discover how focusing on the actions you can control can help you stay consistent, create lasting change, and ultimately achieve the goals you're working toward.     Enjoy the show, and let me know your thoughts!   - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/3832 - - - 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…   Michelle: Hi Dr. Cabral! Thank you for ALL that you do! During the summer I hardly use my sauna because I'm sweating most days between early morning runs (super humid here), trail maintenance, trail runs, afternoon walks, etc. I'm sure I'm missing out on other benefits of using the sauna, however? Should I still be incorporating a 20-30 minute sauna 4-5 days per week?       Jackie: My husband has mcas, and has full body itch/flush triggered by temperature change, loud stimulus and is hyper sensitive to smell/light. We tried histpro and vitamin C and it made his symptoms much worse by day 3 we stopped after day 5 and it took about a week to go back to his baseline. Any thoughts as to what happened? He Wants to do 21 day detox but really struggles to keep weight on as it is staying above 9% bf is a challenge . For context eats auto immune paleo,no alcohol and strength training is light to moderate 4 days /week.for over a decade. If you had to estimate what % of the benefit that comes from a 21 day detox is attributed to the 2 day fast and reduced calories?       Trish: Good morning! QQ on women's health post-menopausal. Somewhat intimate question listeners for small children. Your opinion please on using a low dosage of women's estrogen vaginal cream to help keep the vagina tissues from thinning etc.. Thank you in advance. You are an amazing human being and are so appreciated for all you do to help us with longevity and aging gracefully.       Richard: Hi Dr. Cabral, my question is on the origins of AYU medicine, I hope thats ok. I have always been fascinated with our ancient history & am wondering which civilization came up with AYU medicine. Was it the Indus Valley Civilization? You mention the system is at least 6k years old but the earliest dates of the IVC I can find are around 3300BC. Its widely accepted that Sumer was the earliest civilization which started around 4000BC but that was in Mesopotamia and not modern day India. The dates don't add up. I believe you 100% I just want to know more info on this & Im wondering if this is a case of manipulating history by the archeology industry. I have listened to podcasts with Graham Hancock & many others talking about our ancient history. They reveal convincing evidence that modern archeology is intentionally covering up certain structures, incorrectly dating them & fabricating info about civilizations. When I tried researching AYU many sources claim that its pseudoscience. Would love to hear your thoughts on all this, the truth about the origins of AYU and in what language were the texts written in 6000 years ago. Thank you!!       Erin: Hi! This has been happening randomly for years & no dr has solved it. I go to sleep easily but I will wake up feeling awful & it's usually around 12:30-1am. Armpits sweating, muscles crampy, heart rate is so fast, stomach looks 6 months pregnant. I will eat something, drink and once i can start burping the heart rate slows back down and i start feeling better. I have noticed it happening more when it's really hot and humid out and certain molds are high. I have also noticed it happening when I eat around 1500 calories. I am a female and macros say i should be at 2,000-2200 for my activity level. Would this difference in calories cause this? I am wanting to loose some weight and it has been impossible due to this. My gut says adrenals but why did this start happening?

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:    Alicia: Hi there, thank you for your time. I would like to know what kind of cleanse you would suggest for someone who has arthritis, neuropathy and gut issues. Lots of inflammation and already gluten free. Has had a long standing relationship with pharmaceuticals due to multiple injuries and is now off prescriptions but dealing with a fragile nervous system and digestive system. Thank you.       S: Hi Dr. Cabral. Our 11 year old son still wets the bed from time to time. In fact lately, it's gotten worse. He is top of his class, a heavy reader, extremely inquisitive and very very active and talented in sports. BUT he is small for his age (15th percentile) and hyperactive at times. Any advice would be invaluable. Thanks.       Joy: Hi Dr. C, Thanks for all you do! Let's assume you have a post-menopausal family member who read the book Estrogen Matters and made the decision to go on HRT for benefits to brain, bones and symptom relief. She feels better but still has terribly disruptive sleep. She took the Stress, Mood and Metabolism Test and had values indicating high nighttime cortisol and elevated hormones except DHEA which was out of range low. She's done CBO protocol and has been on the sleep protocol for a month with limited relief. Would you suggest she get off HRT or continue HRT while incorporating something else to get to more optimal ranges or do you think it's mainly the nighttime cortisol that's causing the sleep problems? Seems like both issues may be impacting. No room here to share specific values.       Anonymous: I did tests from EquiLife and am working to reverse my PCOS symptoms. Long story short I still have high testosterone despite working at it for a few years and alleviating a lot of other symptoms. HTMA and OAT showed low vitamins and minerals even though I have been supplementing and eating well for years. So we looked at digestion and stool testing revealed an IGA of 4, low elastase, low propionate, NG for Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus, few commensal bacteria, no dysbiotic flora or yeast. I worked through the mold protocol and am now on the heavy metal. As part of my protocol, I have been doing weekly enemas. I am on month three of doing them weekly and today I passed what I believe was a mucus plug hours afterwards. Is this something to be concerned about? Can I continue enemas?       Jana: 39 female. 3 years w/ your coach I've healed my gut, finished all your protocols & testing.I continue w/ your supplements & suggestions (sauna, walking).I'm struggling with chronic fatigue & inflammation, immunodeficiency, nasal MARCONs (past exposure) & scalp psoriasis.I've had infections most of my life (strep, pneumonia, bronchitis, sinus).Doctors suggested Pepcid + Allegra 4x daily (MCAS) + LDN (hEDS).I'm trying to avoid lifelong biologics + immune therapy.Does your histamine protocol replace/support the suggested Pepcid/Allegra combo for MCAS?What recommendation for rebuilding my immune system?15 of 22 pneumococcal titers are nonprotective despite 3 PPV23 vaccines. I take Histpro + Vit C & Inflamma Soothe + others. Increase dosage? Need guidance on supplementation & what else to try.        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/3830 - - - 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?

Early detection can make a significant difference when it comes to cancer.      While there is no single blood test that can detect every type of cancer, advances in biomarker testing are providing new tools that may help identify potential concerns earlier.     In today's episode, I break down the blood markers and biomarkers that may be used to assess cancer risk, identify potential warning signs, and monitor certain types of cancer.     We'll explore how these markers can detect signals from tumor cells, changes in surrounding tissues, or responses from the immune system. I'll also discuss how the effectiveness of these tests varies depending on the type of cancer and why combining appropriate blood work with imaging and other diagnostic tools may provide a more complete picture.     So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3828 to discover which blood tests may help detect cancer earlier and why early detection is such an important part of proactive health care.   - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/3828 - - - 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?
