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… 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?

We are exposed to heavy metals on a daily basis… Through microparticles in the environment, food, medicine, occupations, and personal care products our exposure adds up over time and can end up in our organs. So today I want to share with you, from a clinical perspective, what you need to be looking out for and help you understand that this is fixable.

Did you know that the vast majority of contestants from The Biggest Loser regained almost all of their weight loss? Unfortunately, what that show and other programs like it did was promote rapid weight loss through extreme calorie restriction and excessive exercise. What it didn't show, however, was the massive metabolic damage that it can do to a person and how it drastically decreases resting metabolic rate and disrupts hormones. So on today's #CabralConcept 2574, I want to go over the research behind the "Biggest Loser Style" weight loss and why it causes slow metabolism and how you can fix it - Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought! - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/2574 - - - 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?

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?

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.

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.
