    3656: Help for Hemochromatosis, Low Libido, Florafilm Reactions, Pet Allergies (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…   Sonja: Dr Cabral thank you so much for all of the wonderful education you have been sharing with us over the years to help us be healthier. My family and I greatly appreciate it along with so many others around the world! I am a 60 year old woman who was diagnosed with hemochromatosis about 2 and 1/2 years ago. Thanks to the minerals and metals test that I completed which raised a red flag on the iron level, I was able to get my doctor to do a ferritin blood test to find out that my level was at 725! Over the past couple of years, I have been working with a hematologist and getting therapeutic phlebotomies as needed. I eat clean, workout and have an overall healthy lifestyle with minimal alcohol consumption. I do a 7-Day Detox 3 to 4 times a year, daily DNS shake along with multiple Equilife supplements. My question to you is - if I was your aunt what protocols or recommendations would you have for me? I would love to reverse the diagnosis of hemochromatosis. In addition, what would be the ferritin range that you would recommend? My hematologist wants it as low as possible (around 30) however my energy is very low when it's at the levels that he desires. Thank you so much for everything that you do. Sonja      Peter: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thanks for the great work you do and your books! I'm generally in good health and currently not on any medications. For the past 2–3 years I've been very consistent with lifestyle habits: clean diet, training 5–6x/week (3x strength, 2x cardio, 1x HIIT), no alcohol, consistent sleep schedule, sauna ~3x/week, and daily bowel movements. Despite this, I've experienced low libido for several years. It fluctuates, but I haven't been able to identify clear triggers or improvements. A few years ago, blood work showed elevated prolactin. My doctor prescribed Dostinex (dopamine agonist), which resolved libido symptoms effectively, but felt too strong. I'd prefer to identify and address the underlying cause rather than suppress symptoms. Recent blood work again shows elevated prolactin and elevated SHBG. Free testosterone is low. Blood sugar is within range but not optimal given my lifestyle. LDL is also elevated. Primary symptoms • Low libido (low initial drive, rare or absent morning erections) • Skin issues for ~1.5 years (none prior): – Redness on chin and temples, flaring after meals and after B-complex supplements – Small forehead bumps resembling acne that appear and disappear within a day Secondary symptoms • Slightly flat mood • Low muscle gain relative to training effort • Occasional cold hands • Frequent urination (including at night) • Low evening energy • Reduced interest in socializing I've tried various supplements over time but without a clear framework or plan. I'm hoping you could share your thoughts on possible root causes and what testing or protocol you would prioritize. Thank you for your work and guidance! Best, Peter     Michelle: Hi Stephen, I've experienced sensitivity to Equilife's Florafilm & another brand of proteolytic enzymes (nausea & vomiting). I have no allergies and have never experienced a negative reaction to a supplement. I am in overall good health and not on any medication and was wondering what might be causing such a reaction? I tried taking just one of the capsules instead of two on an empty stomach and experienced similar side effects. Is this product by chance enteric coated? I read that could help prevent side effects. Lastly is there a product you could recommend in its place to help remove biofilms so that the Para Support protocol will continue to be most effective? I found a product that contains Bismuth Subnitrate, Alpha lipoic Acid and Black Cumin (Priority One Biolm). Would it be ok to take this product in place of the Florafilm? I have been taking just one capsule of it with no side effects (product recommends 2 capsules 4 days a week) or is there a better solution as I do want to do some other Equilife protocols and noticed they also contain the Florafilm product. I love your Podcast and Equilife products and disappointed this one doesn't work for me. Thank you for all you do!      Larissa: Hello Dr Cabral. My 4yrs old son is allergic to dogs, I suspect the saliva. When he pets a dog nothing happens but when a dog licks him or his hands and he touches his face, that area gets red and swollen within minutes. Is this common? Is it possible this will go away? Is there a way to test him for this and more importantly treat him for this? I've heard of the NAET protocol, do you recommend this? Appreciate any advice!         Thank you for tuning into this weekend's Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3656 - - - 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?

    3655: Cyperus Rotundus Oil & Hair, Older Men & Birth Defects, Hydrogen Tablet Benefits, Acid Reflux in Children, Intense Itching & Flushing (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:    Cassie: Hi Dr. Cabral, I truly enjoy your content and am hoping to start your IHP curriculum within the next year. My question is about the safety of Cyperus Rotundus oil. It is noted to reduce hair growth when paired with hair removal methods such as waxing or laser. However, I have seen a study mentioning that its effects on hair growth are due to it's antiandrogenic properties, which would make me think it would only be beneficial in removing hair growth that was directly due to androgenic hair. Do you know anything about Cyperus Rotundus oil and its effectiveness or safety? I am always cautious about remedies, natural or otherwise that could affect hormones as I have had major hormone imbalances in the past and know that my body is sensitive to hormone fluctuations. Curious if this oil truly does have antiandrogenic properties or not, I am reading through some of the studies to try and understand but would appreciate your expertise. Thank you!      Darren: Good  day Dr. Cabral. I've been seeing all over social media where posters show studies indicating Older fathers (35+) are associated with increased birth risks/defects. Any truth to this or is it because some older men lead unhealthy lifestyles?      HC: Thank you for sharing your wealth of informaiton to HELP so MANY Of US!!! Do hydrogen tablets provide all the health benefit claims? I cannot afford home hydrogen water system and looking for alternatives. At home we use Berkey counter system as I take totally trust your recommendations. THANK YOU!!!      Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral. My daughter is 10 and gets acid reflux. It's noticeable on her teeth and she complains about it after certain foods every now and then. We have had a stool test done here in Australia which was negative for H.pilori and have seen a paediatrician but they recommended putting something down her throat to have a look, but if we can I'd like to avoid that as she has already had to go under for a surgery before so I'm not keen on her going under again. My partner and his family get acid reflux. Over time my partners has gotten better but he has really brittle teeth so I'm wanting to get on top of it while my daughter is young to avoid this happening to her. Would really appreciate your advice Thank you so much!      Jackie: Hi Dr Cabral, thank you for all that you do. I have been using for 10 days and the very intense itching/flushing (why I took it) has become much more frequent and intense? Typically a warmer room or high stress event could cause me to get this deep internal itch/flushing sensation, now it is happening without a distinct trigger. If I sweat with a "ginger bath or cardio" symptoms are gone for about 2 hours. Any thoughts as to what could be happening?  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/3655 - - - 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?

    3652: Why Your Body Is Blocking Fat Loss (WW)

    Many people believe fat loss is simply a matter of eating less and moving more, yet their bodies continue to resist, no matter how disciplined they are.     On today's show, I break down the five most common physiological reasons the body resists fat loss and explain the one critical question your body is always asking: Is it safe to let this weight go right now?     You'll learn why the body may hold onto fat as a protective response, even when nutrition, movement, and consistency are already in place.     I also explain why creating internal safety signals, rather than relying on calorie restriction or overtraining, is the key to sustainable fat loss and long-term metabolic health.     So join me on today's Cabral Concept Episode 3652 to discover why your body may be blocking fat loss and what changes you can make to finally work with your physiology instead of against it.     Enjoy the show, and let me know your thoughts!   - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/3652 - - - 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?

    3650: You're Not Overworked—You're Overstimulated (MM)

    Feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, or constantly "on" even when you're getting things done? The issue may not be how much you're doing, but how much input your nervous system is processing each day.   On today's show, I break down the critical difference between being overworked and overstimulated, and explain why overstimulation is one of the most overlooked drivers of burnout, stress-related health issues, and stalled momentum.   You'll learn how constant notifications, information overload, and nonstop problem-solving keep the nervous system locked in a chronic stress response.   I also share practical strategies to reduce mental noise, regain clarity, and build real momentum by simplifying inputs, setting clear priorities, and focusing on one key area of life at a time.   Join me on today's Cabral Concept 3650, to discover why you may not be overworked, but overstimulated, and what you can do about it.   Enjoy the show!   - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/3650 - - - 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?

    3649: Adding Fruit to Diet, Freckles & Aging, Watery Eyes, Xylitol Nasal Sprays, Teeth Grinding (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… Linda: Hi Dr. Cabral, I listen to your podcast every morning when I drive my son to school. I love it! Recently, you mentioned the 4 things to do to add 14 years of life. Typically, I have a serving of aronia berries or goji berries every day. Does that count for one of the 5 servings of fruits and vegetables per day? Or, does the fruit have to be fresh or frozen? Thank you!! Linda    Morgan: Hi Dr Cabral! I have fair skin and as I get older (currently in my mid-30s) I notice that I'm getting lots more freckles on my body- when I was younger I almost never got them. I'm curious if this is an indication of something health-related or if it's "just aging". Is there anything I can do to change this? Thank you!    Maria: Can you talk about watery eyes?. usually every morning , corner of my eyes get watery and I always have to wipe them sometimes 2 to 3 times before I put my mascara on. Thank you for all you do spreading your knowledge. I love listening to your podcast every day, especially on the weekends. I really love the way you recap the week. Thanks again!    S: I've been seeing xylitol nasal sprays being promoted lately. How is xylitol supposed to help nasal passages and is it safe and effective? When could this be helpful or not?    Bettina: Hello Dr. Cabral, My son is 15 and has been grinding his teeth since age 6. It's not severe, but consistent. At 6, one craniosacral session reduced it by about half. Since then, he has had craniosacral therapy every few years, which helps but does not eliminate it. He also saw a physiotherapist specializing in neck and jaw, which helped slightly, though craniosacral was more effective. He likely has mild Scheuermann's based on posture, similar to his father and grandmother. None of them are diagnosed, but all show the same posture. Not sure if there can be a link. He has never had headaches or similar issues. He is active and happy. He takes daily: multivitamin, magnesium (Magnesium taurate, magnesium gluconate, zinc picolinate), vitamin D, and zinc picolinate. The multivitamin is either food-state or a highly absorbable formula with high-dose B12 (methylcobalamin & adenosylcobalamin), active vitamin D3 from lichen. We live in Denmark, which does not allow import of the lab tests used by EquiLife anymore, so that is not an option. What would you recommend? Thank you for your time.  Thank you for tuning into this weekend's Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3649 - - - 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?
