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: Tara: Hello, My name is Tara and I've had stomach issues my whole life. Everyone said it was just a stress stomach. Within the last 6 weeks I was introduce to a natural path doctor who has brought this stomach issue of mine to a head. She believes I have Biofilm. I have tried researching this and cannot find many people speaking about it. My doctor and I have started a plan on how to tackle it but curious if Dr Cabral has dived into this as well? I have been eating great and taking top of the line suppliments and test I am still deficient in all B's, D, C , folate, etc. I resonate with so many of these podcasts and yet I have not heard anything on this issue of biofilm. I am just curious if Dr Cabral has any insight on this topic. Thank you Meagan: Hello Dr. CABRAL! I think I may have heard you mention palate expanders on one of your episodes discussing mouth breathing. Can you expand on that a bit? I'm debating getting one for my 7 year old daughter but want to weigh the pros and cons. Thank you!! Bailey: I have a 12 month old who has a dairy allergy. I completely avoided dairy & gluten when I was breastfeeding her due to colic and digestive issues. I started her on raw goats milk after nursing, she wasn't a fan.. so she drinks raw cows milk. I plan to switch to nut milk / only water once she is getting more calories and fat from food. One day we ran out of milk, so I gave her some store bought whole milk (temporarily), she developed digestive pain, and hives shortly after. The hives have lasted almost a week now, I know dairy takes a long time to leave the system. I feel like I did everything right with her. She was born vaginally, is unvaccinated, she has never been on antibiotics, she took a probiotic with her breastmilk the whole year she breastfed, dairy wasn't introduced to her till 12 months, we live in the country without a ton of environmental toxins, yet she has this allergy. I myself have always been sensitive to dairy, so my guess is genetics. My question is, what is the bottom line.. what is the ROOT cause of so many childhood food allergies? & Why do we "out-grow" them? This is becoming such a norm. Jessica: Hi Doctor Cabral! Thank you for being a source of well-studied information on all things health and wellness. I have been looking into the iodine controversy and whether or not iodine is beneficial or harmful for thyroid patients, specifically Hashimoto's. There is research on how going on a low-iodine food diet along with no supplemental iodine in any form with support the thyroid in healing from Hashimoto's. I have heard strong views from both sides, and I am hoping to get your view on the topic and how you would approach this subject in the helping of a family member. Kasia: Hi Dr. Cabral, Hope this email finds you well. I watched your video about Serrapeptase enzyme. Thank you so much for the detailed informative and useful information. I have silicone breast implants. I have purchased the Serrapeptase product for my chronic nose sinus, but I am concerned it might deteriorate the capsule that naturally form around the a breast implants. I've read on line it eats non-living living tissues; including scar tissue and maybe capsule. Others note, it should be fine to use for someone with breast implants. Do you know if taking the enzyme Serrapeptase, can be taken by someone with breast implants? Do you know of women with breast implants, who have been taking it? What's their feedback? For the past 3-4 weeks, I have been taking a daily therapautic dose of about 120,000SPU. I have noticed my breast fat has slightly reduced. I don't know if it's because of the Serrapeptase, or the intermittend fasting I have started at the same time. I appreciate your input, and advise. Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral, I was wondering what can be the cause (and possible solution) for hirsutism, particularly if blood sugar levels are well managed, my periods are regular and I am not overweight. In the past I used the birth control pill for 7 years. I got off, had my two kids, had a chin hair here and there, but now, 2.5 years later after having my second child, I have a full-blown highly undesired situation happening on my chin and around a little the nipples. It's been at least a year and it's only getting worse. I've used a CGM for several months for the sake of research and investigation, and my blood sugar levels appear very well managed. I don't drink alcohol or coffee, nor do I smoke. I have no known health conditions. But I'm stressed and don't sleep super well. When I tested a cycle mapping of my hormones (Dutch test), my testosterone, estrogen and progesterone levels were fine BUT my adrenal glands might just hate me. Both free cortisol and cortisone were VERY low (possible due to a prolonged period of stress) while Etiocholanolone & Androsterone were both super high. I have no cysts on my ovaries and my periods are quite regular so I don't feel like it would be PCOS either. Please please please… help a sister out! Thank you for all that you do.

Heavy metal toxicity can be the root cause for a variety of gut-based and auto-immune issues… Unfortunately, our drinking water can be a primary source for contamination, but heavy metals such as aluminum, arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury can be accumulated from a wide variety of common foods, products, and environmental factors… Once exposed, heavy metals can wreak havoc on our gut health and create inflammation that leads to a whole host of issues, which only later get diagnosed as a dis-ease… So on today's #CabralConcept 2477 I want to share with you how heavy metals affect your digestion, gut & auto-immune issues and how you can reduce your exposure to them - Enjoy the show and let me know if you have any questions! - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/2477 - - - 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?

Did you know the low-carb diet dates back to 776 B.C.? This way of eating has been around for centuries and continues to resurface again and again with a different name and slightly different take. One thing that remains the same, however, the low-carb diet is a trend that while successful in the short term, may cause health issues when taken too far… So on today's #CabralConcept 2476, I want to go over the history of low-carb diets, why they started, and what modern-day science says about them - Enjoy the show and let me know if you have any questions! - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/2476 - - - 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?

I believe our job in life is to live to our greatest potential… Because when we do, we become the best versions of ourselves and are able to serve others to the highest degree. But many of us struggle with inner voices that seek the approval of others and strive to impress those around us. If we are able to quit those voices, whoever, we unlock our ability to rewire our subconscious mind and be, do and have anything we set our minds to. So on today's #CabralConcept 2474 I want to share with you 7 specific ways on how to care less about what other people think so you can quiet that inner dialog and do more with your life – Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought in the comments! - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/2474 - - - 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… Janice: Dear Dr Cabral I'm very proud and honoured to be a part of the IHP2M community. What you have contributed to the world is amazing and I aspire to help many like you do. I would like to ask about your input about Bone Marrow Donations. Searches did not seem to come up. I understand there are 2 methods of donation, the traditional method is collection from pelvic bone under GA and takes about 40min. The other option is Peripheral Blood Stem Cell (PBSC) where the donor will be given Granulocyte-Colony Stimulating Factor (G-CSF) injections over 5 days leading up to the donations to increase stem cells in the body. Blood is collecting from one arm and passed through a machine that extracts the blood stem cells and returns all remaining blood through the other arm. This takes 5-7hours. May I have your thoughts on this. Is there any major impact to the donors health? I would really like to know what is your take on this from a health perspective! Thank you! Chelsea: Hello Dr. Cabral! When seed cycling, can I to eat tahini + sunflower seeds during the pumpkin/flax phase? Or will this offset the benefits due opposing hormonal effects of the seeds? I eat a lot of tahini in sauces and as a source of fat and find it hard to plan meals without it Maria: Hello Dr. Thank you so much for all that you do. You are so awesome and I am enjoying listening to all your podcast. I had a question about the monkey pox. What can someone do to give themselves the best immune system for if and when you were to get the monkey pox Samantha: I love your DNS powder! However I just realized that it contains iodine and I have hashimotos. Would you consider making a version without iodine for all of your customers that also have thyroid complications?? Thank you Amy: Hi Dr Cabral. Love the podcast and appreciate your wealth of knowledge. My question is one I've wondered about for many years. I tend to sip on drinks for a couple of hours. By drinks, it could be a protein shake, coffee with a bit of heavy cream, coffee with protein added, etc. More than just a glass of water. Am I doing a disservice to my digestion by doing this? Would it be better to consume beverages like this within 30 or so minutes? Thanks for the help : Hayley: Hi, Dr. Cabral. I've recently tried starting yoga but I really struggle with any downward poses. I feel like so much pressure builds up in my head and neck, and my heart beat seems to pound in my head. Is this normal, and any suggestions for improving?

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: Maria: Hello and thank you for all you do. I'm really enjoying listening to all your podcasts and have gotten really good at searching for things. I wanted to know if you can recommend a brand of ox bile. I looked and looked and can't find a brand that you would recommend. And I'm sorry if it's there but I can't find it. Can you give me a recommendation. Maria: Hi Dr. Cabral, I first want to say that I love your podcast and its been a huge inspiration for me to move from conventional medicine to integrative medicine which is my true calling. I would love to here more about your ideas on V shot for children and what parents should be considering as far as benefits and risks. Again, such a fantastic resource for everyone, Thanks! Lauren: Hello! I'm wondering what your thoughts are around endometriosis. I had laparoscopic surgery about a year ago and although my periods are not excruciating anymore, they are still painful (meaning I am still relying on pain killers and needing time off work), despite the endometriosis being removed. My gynaecologist's solution is to go on the birth control pill or IUD but that doesn't sit right with me. Why would I still be in pain if the cause of the pain has been removed? Every practitioner has a different view on the reason but despite doing it all (acupuncture, chiro, naturopath, mayan massage, chinese medicine, pelvic physiotherapist...etc), I am yet to find anything that truly helps my symptoms. I am feeling very hopeless and find it hard to trust even holistic practitioners as they have mostly just recommended supplements with a 'see what sticks' mentality - leaving me frustrated and out of pocket hundreds of $$! I suppose I'd like to know what the root cause of endo is and how can start my journey of truly healing myself? Thank you in advance! Brittany: Hi Dr. Cabral! Can you talk a little about skin petechiae? I have a few small red dots (not close together) on my stomach that my doctor has more or less said not to worry about. They've been there for a few years (I noticed them after birthing my second child but that doesn't mean they weren't present beforehand) and haven't changed. I'm not really concerned but I do feel like it's a reflection of something internally. Any thoughts? Stormy: I have always worked out five days a week and I walk 20,000 steps on the weekends. I am 48 years old and I have done the 16/8 for three weeks. Started losing when I increased my protein and decreased my carbs (during 3rd week). I lost three pounds. I do not want to lose more then 10 pounds. I weigh 143 and I am 5'2. I have always been blessed with muscles. My calorie intake is 1600-2000 a day. I had bloating issues and they are gone. I want to remain healthy, what do you suggest would be the best eating plan? I also do not want to mess with my hormones or muscle mass. Danika: Hi Doc, been learning from you for a few years now. I'm 29 years old (prob 30 by the time you read this). When I was 9 years old I first put on a little weight to have what you call "cortisol belly," skinny arms and legs, just that hormonal pudge. Chronic pain in my low back & left hip set in at age 11. Depression, fatigue, anxiety all through school years. Was active playing water sports (I'm sure 10 years of daily chlorine did not help my thyroid) but was always tired. My menstrual periods have always been INTENSE with such bad cramping that I'm out of service from 3-6 days a month, sometimes 10! I've been on my healing journey for about 4 years now. I have improved. I'm currently detoxing aluminum that I saw on your HTMA lab I took, I had the 4 high pattern. I also took a salivary hormone lab and my cortisol throughout the day was extremely low, and my Estrogen 3 (estriol) was high. I'm also having a lot of anxiety. I've hit a point where my own body is confusing me! I'm fatigued and feel exhausted w/ my body barely producing any cortisol, yet still having panic attacks that sometimes feel like heart attacks. My body is tired, my periods wreck me, I seem to catch every sinus infection going around, & this extra layer of body fat is so hard to get rid of. Help!
