2992: Becoming "Anti-Fragile" May Hold the Key to Happiness & Personal Growth (MM)
Have you ever found yourself close to giving up? I think we probably all have, but the problem is that shying away from obstacles that are presented in front of you on your journey towards your goals limits your ability to grow and blossom. We must begin to stop and realize that these obstacles are what shape us and help us on our path to success and greater happiness. So on today's #CabralConcept 2992 I want to go over why becoming "anti-fragile" may hold the key to happiness & personal growth.

2991: Bile Acid Malabsorption, Plant-Based Diet & Oxalates, Protocols During Vacation, Root Cause of Pigmented Purpura Dermatosis, Pregnancy Glucose Test (HouseCall)
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… Cindy: I have battled diarrhea for several years, and despite all kinds of stool testing and various diagnosis, I finally diagnosed myself with bile acid malabsorption. I have the classic symptoms. They put me on medication for it, and it is controlling the diarrhea, but I am wondering if I will have to take medication the rest of my life or is there a cure? Melissa: I trying to adopt a more plant based diet but am concerned about lectins and oxalates. I reading a lot about how they are damaging and consuming a lot of them on a plant based diet can have bad health effects. Can you advise if this is a real issue and how to handle, or if this something not to worry about? Dionna: Hey, Dr. Cabral. First, a sincere thank you from the bottom of my heart for doing what you do. After a year and a half of being so sick, your Big 5, plus the gut health lab have changed my life! I am in month 2 of the CBO Protocol. We leave for Barbados on March 29th. I will still be about a week or two from finishing the Protocol, and will not have started the Gut Finisher yet. How can I go on vacation, be able to eat, and NOT reverse all the work I've done to get better. Also, I am not a big drinker at all, but on rare occasion, I like to enjoy a cocktail. Is that even a possibility while on the protocol? I want to enjoy vacation but more importantly, not mess up everything I've worked so hard for. Thank you! You are an Earth Angel! REVISED from just a few hours ago. I just wanted to clarify that I will be staying at an All Inclusive Resort while in Barbados. I'm not sure what my food options will look like, which is the basis for my original question. Thank you Taliitha (tah-leh-thuh, like Tabitha, she/her): Thank you for having this forum to ask questions, and for consistently sharing your knowledge. I have pigmented purpura dermatosis, biopsy confirmed, that comes and goes over most of my body. If you are not familiar, it is a type of capillaritis. Do you have any thoughts on root cause or management? For over 6 months, and currently I am taking rutin and vitamin C in the form of equilife alkalizing vitamin C (based on a research article suggesting this would be helpful), no noticeable effects. Did minerals & metals, organic acids, food sensitivity labs. I am taking DNS, DFVB, B complex, magnesium, adrenal soothe, omega-3, and non-equilife zinc/elderberry gummies, histpro and digestive enzyme. Quarterly detoxes for 1 year with a 21-day, heavy metal detox, just started the CBO protocol. Tin: I am 15 weeks pregnant and I am taking my time to learn more about prenatal and maternity health. I’m curious what are your thoughts about Oral Glucose Tolerance Test? It usually contains 75g of sugar in the solution and taken after fasting. I'm a bit concerned about this much sugar plus the colorings added to that. My OB said this is required to test for gestational diabetes but heard that test can come out false and inaccurate. My FBS and HbA1c are all good, I take supplements and workout, so I think I have low risk. What are other alternatives for this that has less risk to my body? Thank you again for all that you do.

2990: BPA Warning, 3 Meals & Snacks Timing, Baking Paper & Silicone, HPA Axis Dysfunction & Stress, Best Time to Break a Fast (HouseCall)
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: Hannah: Hi its me again. I have one more question. I am a competitive equestrian, so i make sure my protective gear is as good as you can get. I noticed however on my helmet it has a PROP 65 warning containing BPA, could i be absorbing this? Thanks again, you are awesome Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral. I was wondering, when you say we should eat 3 meals a day, does that include snacks ? And is it fine to just do 3 meals with no snacks if that works for your lifestyle? I am always told that i should be eating more than 3 meals, but i feel better off 3 big meals rather than 4 smaller ones as it causes me to binge for no known reason. Is that fine? Thanks Lara: Hi! I looked into parchment/baking paper.. we use a non-bleached organic one and it says it''s from forest trees but has a coating of silicone made from sand.. you once answered my question about using silicone moulds for baking and that it isn't a problem so I'm guessing it's ok on baking paper as well? Just checking, hehe.. thank you for all you do, love your work and this podcast, you're amazing! Dan: Hello Dr C How do I fix my HPA axis disfunction, which often leads to severe episodes of fatigue after intense physical or mental stressors. Thanks Dan! Audrey: Hi Dr. Cabral, First I want to thank you for freely sharing your knowledge and wisdom with us. It has truly changed the course of my life. In your Fatlossity course you said it is best to eat between the hours of 10-2. I get up at 4:30am for F45. How long is too long for me to wait to eat after waking without putting my body in a stressful state? Especially after a hard workout?
