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: Ashley: Hello! My 7 year old son has very enlarged tonsils. He does have allergies and currently takes monolucast every night. I remember you talking about your daughter having enlarged tonsils and you did a protocol and it helped reduce them. He doesn't snore eveynight but sometimes he does. I don't want to have his removed and was hoping you could share what you did for your daughter and I could possibly try it on him. Thank you for your help and truly appreciate all your help. Patti: Hi Dr. Cabral Wishing you well. I have listened to all of your podcast referencing breast cancer & many on cancer. I have had breast cancer twice in the same breast. I completed approximately 18 gene tests & none of them were found. I don't eat red meat, dairy or saturated fats & stopped eating eggs which I did not eat often. I do eat pasture raised organic chicken & turkey & wild caught sockeye salmon. Is there any research that they can contribute to an increase in cancer? Thank you as always!! Jennifer: Hello Dr. Cabral! Thank you for taking the time to try to help me. I'm a huge fan and an avid listener! My naturopath ran bloodwork on my first visit with her and discovered my iron was high (169 with iron saturation at 56, TIBC was 304 and UIBC was 135). She did not check ferritin at the time, but everything else she tested was in the normal range. She had me take Alpha Lipoic Acid for a month and retested me 4 months later. I got "the virus" 2 months before the retest. At the retest, she tested ferritin (just regular ferritin, not saturation or any other measure). This time, my TIBC and UIBC were in the low range at 226 and 106, respectively. My iron went down to 120 and my iron saturation went down to 53. My ferritin was 247. My naturopath wanted me to take Alpha Lipoic Acid again to lower the ferritin, but I wonder about that, as my iron is fine now and my TIBC and UIBC are low. She wants to retest and if my ferritin is still high, start having me get my blood drawn to lower it. I personally wonder if the high ferritin is due to inflammation from the virus or if there's another missing piece here. I'm hoping you can steer me in the right direction of what to test for or any other ideas. Thank you so much for all you do! Anouk: Hi there, I've been listening to your podcast which has been very eye opening. I have a few questions concerning my PCOS. On 6/18/21 I had a panel done. FSH: 10.3 pg/ml PROGESTERONE: 34 FREE TESTOSTERONE: 116 DHEA, ETRADIOL, T3, FREE T4 , LH, TPO ANTIBODIES, TSH , CORTISOL: ( all in normal range). I started taking all of the supplements below and re-tested on 1/20/22 and my levels were: PROGESTERONE: 13 FREE TESTOSTERONE: 58 DHEA: 2.1 and everything else was in normal range. Since my first lab on 6/18/2020 I have been taking these daily: MYO-INOSITOL, NAC, CURCUMIN, QUERCETIN, OMEGA 3, G.I PROBIOTIC At what point can I stop taking these supplements? I am a 27 year old female I exercise almost daily height 5' 8'' weight 125 My periods have gone from 67 day cycles to 35 days cycles and lasts around 3 days. My skin has cleared up and I know longer experience frequent panic attacks! ( My periods are still extremely painful) I am hoping to not be dependent on these but definitely don't want to risk having my previous symptoms return. Would love to know your insight, thanks again very much appreciate all the information you share. Anouk Pat: I take an estrogen/hormone blocker as I call it Anastrozole (same as tamoxifen) How should I go about to lose weigh all I do is gain and I watch my carbs and eat very clean and exercise. Is there anything I can do?

There are well over 60 million people in the United States alone that are suffering from an autoimmune dis-ease… And while the natural health community has known what the root causes of autoimmune diseases are for over 30 years, conventional medicine is just now beginning to understand and implement protocols in their practice as well. So on today's #CabralConcept 2407 I'd like to dig into what the root causes of auto-immune diseases are and share with you some research on environmental exposures and the role of the gut microbiome – Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought in the comments! - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/2407 - - - 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?

Today's show might sound like a bit of a rant, but it's only because I feel so passionate about providing you with facts… Today I want to go over a large scale research study providing a new, proposed, scoring system for over 8,000 foods. Not only is this information an example of bad science, but I feel it can be detrimental to the larger population who would look at it and take it at face value… So on today's #CabralConcept 2406 we'll dig into what this research is doing and why I felt it necessary to share this public health warning on the new food scoring system – Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought in the comments! - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/2406 - - - 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?

Uncontrolled blood sugar can lead to a whole host of issues… So many people right now are pre-diabetic, have blood sugar dysregulation, or are type 2 diabetic.

What if you knew you couldn't fail? What if you knew that it's not a matter of "if", but rather a matter of "when" it will happen for 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… Cristi: What do we know in natural health about "functional dyspepsia?" I just had an upper endoscopy to diagnose the cause of a burning sensation in my stomach just under my right ribcage usually right after eating/while eating that seems to respond to an amount of food rather than any particular food. Before this, the gastro had me do a stool test that was negative for H. Pylori. They took biopsies during the upper endo, but the doctor says he doesn't expect to find anything. He said he saw irritation in the stomach lining and it was probably caused by "functional dyspepsia" which was an imbalance of acid in the stomach. He said the causes of this could be different things, including stress (which I admittedly have a lot of, but I do what I can to control it) and that otherwise, causes were unknown, but that I could just take Pepsid! How long? Oh, maybe forever...Needless to say, I'm not doing that. SO, if all I know is that the acid is "imbalanced," how do I balance it? My diet, exercise, and supplement regimen are all along the lines of what you advise, so none of the other causes of this "disfunction" (NSAID use, fried/unhealthy fat foods, alcohol excess) make sense. Thank you! Cristi: This is an add-on to my previous question about "functional dyspepsia." Another strange detail: I can "feel" the spot in my stomach that burns after eating during certain abdominal exercises. It's not pain, but I can feel it almost like it's an internal healing injury while doing the exercise. Jillian: Hi Dr. Cabral, I have a question regarding research on SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome). I recently heard that Australian researchers had found a blood marker that could indicate the potential for SIDS. They noticed a significantly lower enzyme level of butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) which impacts an infants ability to wake out of a deep sleep in the infants who died from SIDS. I've also read that high levels alpha fetoprotein in mothers can be another indicator for potential SIDS. Lastly, I've read that infants that died from SIDS also had higher levels of serotonin. With your knowledge, do any of these reasons seem connected? Are there things that a mother can do before and while pregnant to help her infant have a decreased risk based on this research. I know the alpha fetoprotein is an issue of the liver. Are there ways that mothers can support their livers better during pregnancy? Thank you for all that you do! Jillian Janet: Greetings! Would you recommend IV NAD+? Single injection or a series of six? Thank you for spreading your knowledge. I wish everyone would listen. Anonymous: Hello Doc! Thank you for your endless & genuine care for the health of everybody! I know there is no diagnosis, treating or curing any disease in your practice, but, a few months ago I had floors/carpet ripped up in my house which I'm sure put a BUNCH of allergens in the air. I work in a steel shop that has pollutants and irritants as well. The ear, nose, & throat doctor sent me for a CT scan and my nasal cavities are full of puss, hindering my smell/taste. I can breathe clear for the most part, but, I blow my nose all the time, sometimes sneeze 4 or 5 times in a row and from the inflammation it's all water. I'm getting nasal drip all day and I'm sure when I'm sleeping too, which I believe, will lead to bacteria in my gut. I was given 2 weeks of antibiotics which helped a little to clear it up and get the smell/taste back. Now its going away again. I don't want the shots they recommended putting more antibiotics in me, seeing as I'm working majorly on my health, and that would be a set back for sure. Do you have experience in your practice with sinus problems this bad in people? am I too far gone to just take a Mold lab- test, and do a mold protocol, would this help any? The treatment they want to do is way too costly. Thank you so much again and I ALWAYS trust your knowledge!! Julia: Hi, my husband diagnosed with hashimoto's thyroiditis, can you tell me please what you know about? And what we can do about ?

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: Simon: Hello and thank you Dr Cabral. As someone who is 'obsessed' with optimizing my health and performance, I've always wondered how I should view donating blood and plasma. Putting aside the great benefit to others, could you explain what the immediate and medium-term impacts on the body of donating blood, in terms of overall health, mental and physical performance? Thanks! Laura: What could be the reason of a 30 year old woman on phase 3 of adrenal dysfunction (adrenal fatigue) with normal levels of estrogen but high progesterone on a saliva test? Pg/E2 ratio, testosterone and DHEA all good. Never seen high progesterone before so not sure what we should be looking at here. Hayley: Hi Dr. Cabral! I have been having issues on and off for a few months with my oral health. I have tiny bumps on the end of my tongue that makes it constantly feel raw. My saliva always feels thick and it seems like food gets stuck before it even starts to go down my throat. My throat feels sore most days, like there is a lump when I try and swallow. My gums occasionally bleed when I floss as well. This all started a few months ago with not much different to my routine and I'm not sure where all this is coming in from. I feel like it has really affected my ability to eat and am looking for an idea of what this could be caused by. Thanks! Lisa: Hi Dr Cabral! I have a hard time with alcohol. With 1 glass of wine I feel quite buzzed and I'm curious as to why? Is it a histamine intolerance or am I missing and enzyme? Liver clogged? Can I test for this and is there anything I can do or take to handle alcohol a bit better? I simply would like to be able to enjoy 2 glasses when I eat out without feeling too tipsy. Appreciate all your knowledge you share on these wonderful podcasts! Kelsey: I have a client that burps when she is hungry. She doesn't burp after eating or have acid reflux. Would burping when hungry signal anything? Thanks! Tiffany: I am 46 years old and my anxiety is getting worse and affecting my daily life. I feel weak all the time and get surges of adrenaline at strange times. I get anxiety really badly when driving. I need an appointment with a functional medicine practitioner. I live in FL but would be willing to do telemedicine. I don't know who to reach out to, but I am starting to get desperate. How can I schedule an appointment?
