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: Marie: Hi Dr. Cabral. Just want to start by saying thank you for offering the lab services/coaching. Brief history – I was chronically undereating (unknowingly) and hitting the gym 5-6x a week. Exhaustion set in late 2019 but I attributed it to work stress. When NYC went into lockdown in early 2020, I thought 'great! A 2-week vacation!' But as the weeks piled on so did the pounds. When losing the weight by cutting calories and increasing workouts didn't work, I joined a nutrition coaching service which focuses on fueling your body not starving it. After a year and a half, I was still struggling to lose, and they recommended bloodwork. I had had the full thyroid panel in the middle of the 18 months and the numbers were fine, so I ran the equilife hormone test and found out I have low prog Jackie: My question is this. Is the CBO protocol good to disrupt established and tough biofilms? Or is this protocol better for someone who would be using this protocol as a first round against SIBO? Has it ever been used with success on SIBO patients who had tough biofilms to break down? Finally, is there a reason why EDTA is not included in the biofilm buster formula? Anonymous: Hi. I am so grateful to you and your team for all the information you share. You are truly changing so many people's lives for the better! I had a question about l-glutamine. I have MCAS and i have been taking l glutamine to seal my gut and thus calm down my immune system. However, it has given me anxiety, depression and fatigue. Is this a glutamate issue? What can do to prevent the side effects? Also, I was wondering how long it took for you to resolve your food sensitivities and be able to have lectins again? Richard: Hello Dr. Cabral, I know that you recommend 7-9 cups of fruits & veggies per day, with more coming from veggies. I get about 6 cups of fruits & 3-4 cups of veggies on a good day, sometimes even less. The problem is that I'm a vata dosha & veggies aren't very conducive for gaining or even maintaining weight. Veggies are filling but a very low calorie food. If I eat 5-6 cups of veggies per day then I don't have the appetite to eat other higher calorie foods that will help me increase weight. It gets even hard when I'm trying to build muscle. Is it possible that vatas need less veggies than other doshas or is that just wishful thinking? If not then do you have any suggestions for gaining/maintaining weight while getting my 5-6 cups of veggies? Thank you, really appreciate you & all you do! Anonymous: Hello, Dr. Cabral, my question is regarding a case of painless ulcerative colitis. When I was first diagnosed with this "disease" I was experiencing all of the standard symptoms: urgency, bloody stool, fatigue etc. My initial flare was brought under control & has remained dormant since. Recently, however, I completed a few of your labs including the Gut Bacteria & Parasite Test. It revealed very high inflammatory markers. I found this troubling since I wasn't showing any symptoms. Fast forward a few months, I completed the CBO protocol & went in for a colonoscopy. My doctor said that I had severe inflammation and needed to go on a biologic. I'm distraught, as I'm still symptom free. My question: How will I know if I am truly well if I can have severe inflammation and no symptoms? What now? Pamela: I have been suffering from reynauds for years and I'm done . Can you tell me what best to do?? Supplements etc. 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/2528 - - - 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… Whit: Hello! Really appreciate you taking the time to answer these questions. My question is regarding dosage for the equilife advanced collagen support. I know the directions are 1 scoop a day, but would there be any added benefit to doing more, say 2 or 3 scoops a day? Also I hear about certain amino acids that are important for assimilating collagen into the body- do you think it would be advisable to take amino acids with it ? (I'm currently loving Ben Greenfield's Kion aminos) Thanks a bunch! You are the best! Linsey: Dr. Cabral, I'm a big admirer of yours and can't tell you how much I appreciate all the knowledge you share. I have a question about how to best repair DNA damage that's been done from 2 past head CT's and a dental CT. I already try to live a low toxin lifestyle when it comes to food and products but I feel like I should be doing more to irradiate damage possibly done by these CT scans. I'm very concerned with the cancer risks that could be associated for these scans. Thanks so much for your input! Danielle: Dear Dr. Cabral, I have a family member who was diagnosed with stage 3 uterine cancer that reached the lymph nodes. I am attempting to search for an IHP that has experience working with cancer patients on the integrativehealthpractitioner.org website but that level on information is hard to find. Do you have any recommendations of an IHP/naturopathic/functional medicine physician with experience working with cancer patients? If you don't know of anyone specific, can you recommend how to go about the search? Would like to find someone who can work alongside her oncologist and primary doctor. Any kind of assistance would be helpful. Thanks! Sal: Can I please get some tips on improving my hormones. I have had a dutch test and my estrogen progesterone and testosterone were at perimenopausal values. I am in my late 20s. I train regularly and have a fairly good diet. Thank you. Grace: Hello, my name is Grace. I have been going through a lot of health problems the past year. I started getting muscle weakness and fatigue last year. I had a fever, but was not sick. The weakness was getting worse. My periods were also irregular. In May of this year, I went through a really stressful period of working 40 hours a week and doing a Masters program.Then, I had an edible, and my periods stopped altogether for a couple months. During that time, my hands started hurting, body stiff, and it felt like I was getting arthritis. I started talking with a functional medicine practitioner, and we did a hair mineral analysis and a hormone test. My progesterone was low, and my mineral levels were off and my Lyme test came back positive. I was won Is there anything else I should do? Bri: Hello, my husband has Geographic tongue, he was diagnosed in his early teen years. It annoys him regularity and is impacted by spicy or sour foods. Is there anything that can be done to help?

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: Bec: Hey Stephen! I have a 5 week old little girl and I was wondering if it is safe to use my Joovv red light panel on her to reset her circadian rhythm and help her build her melatonin? If so what time of day would be best and for how long? And if not, what age would it be safe for her to start using it? Angela: My mother is 83 years old and suffering from Parkenson's. She is on Levo/Cabidopa, Aspirin, Calcium, Vit D3 (but only 2000 iu). She weighs about 135 lbs so I believe she needs more Vit D3. She is also on iron and Modafinil. I believe the Modafinil is to help with her daytime sleepiness. She struggles with drinking enough water and gets constipated (probably from the iron too) and frequent UTIs as well. She fell for the 2nd time and broke her hip again so she is wheel chair bound, and movement is very minimal. All in all she is a hot mess and it's really hard to watch her decline this way. What would you suggest for someone that age and at that level of fragility? Ryan: Hello Doc, Wanted to see if you could briefly explain the connection or potential of albumin binding to testosterone and lowering the free levels of test in the body. My albumin has chronically been about a 5 or 5.1. My total testosterone has always been high, but my free doesn't seem optimal. I'm 31 and just looking to see what I can do naturally. I'm an IHP 2 so I understand the basics of increasing testosterone naturally. But wanted to hear your thoughts on albumin and testosterone connection, how can we lower albumin levels to a better range. Lower protein? Lower sodium? Any genetic issues I should look into? Liver or kidney? Etc. Thanks! Emily: Hi Dr. Cabral! I am wondering if you could share your thoughts on sorbitol intolerance, how to test for it, and how to treat it? I have been diagnosed with IBS in the past (which was an unhelpful diagnosis at best) and have recently been wondering if I may snuggle with sorbitol intolerance as well, which I have not been tested for. My thinking about this stems from the intense gas, bloating, diarrhea, and abdominal discomfort I have been struggling with daily lately. These symptoms are not new for me, however, I have noticed they are more intense and frequent lately, and am wondering if this is connected to my increased sorbitol consumption over the summer from stone fruits (peaches, plums, nectarines…). Thank you for your work! I am saving up now to take Levels 1&2 IHP:) Sara: Hi there, I love your podcast - thank you for your work! Does fasting help the clean up of damage from chronic alcohol abuse on the body and brain? Thank you! Sara Linden: Hi there! I would love any help I can get for lowering Candida while living in mold. Unfortunately I have no other option but to be in this environment for a few more months, but I'm dealing with pretty intense Candida and I know mold/mycotoxins can really fuel it's overgrowth. Any recommendations on a diet approach to keeping it as low as possible & other ways to support my body while I live here? Thank you so much!!
