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: Anonymous: I'm a 46-year-old female (163 cm, 81.5 kg) recent leg swelling, especially left leg with significant fluid from the knee into the foot. Blood clot + kidney issues are ruled out, but ALT is at 209 U/L (10–45). In January a doctor diagnosed lipedema stage 1–2 in legs and arms, left leg was not swollen like this then. My legs may swell slightly in heat, but not in Denmark. EquiLife labs are not possible here. I look 6–7 mths pregnant all day, not hard, no gas. Difficulty losing weight detoxes no longer effective. Diet smoothie (berries, kale, DNS, chia,psyllium,creatine,collagen), lunch cauliflower rice, chicken, arugula, dinner potatoes/meat/veg, pasta 1–2xweek, water + 1–2 drinks/week.I'm peri started bioidentical hormones in January hot flashes gone, mood improved. If I was your wife? Sarah: Hello! I had a question about 'fascia blasting'. Despite doing everything you recommend for cellulite for years now, I still have it on my legs. For a few weeks ive been trying fascia blasting with device and my legs have improved so much. They feel firmer, less painful to touch, and cellulite has improved. I cant believe the results. Curious what your thoughts are on this. Is it 'dangerous' (as some comments online say), is there any science behind it? My skin does bruise alot after I do it, but this doesnt bother me as the results I've been seeing are great. Always trust your imput, thanks so much!! Trent: Hi, I have never had trouble sleeping up until around 6 weeks ago. When it first started, I started waking up in between 3-4am, having very deep vivid dreams every night. Most of the times I could get back to sleep not long after but sometimes if I wake at around 5am I stay awake. My sleep time does vary a bit but I usually get around on average 6.5-7 hours a night, sometimes more and sometimes less. Previously I had never had any troubles sleeping and would never consistently wake up at these times. 2 things I know I need to limit or stop doing is taking my laptop into bed and limit my sugar intake. I do not feel stressed at the moment but I do have some big decision to make this year that are always on my mind. Sarah: Hello! I've recently been hearing about chlorine neutralizer sprays that some parents use on children before or after swimming. From what I understand, many contain vitamin C or similar ingredients that are supposed to neutralize chlorine or chloramines on the skin and hair to help reduce irritation or exposure. I wanted to ask your opinion on them. Do you think these sprays are actually beneficial or safe for regular use on children? Are they helpful for kids with sensitive skin, eczema, or allergies, or is rinsing/showering after swimming usually enough? I've also seen some claims online about reducing chlorine absorption into the body, and I'm not sure how accurate that is. Are there better natural approaches for protecting skin before or after swimming in chlorine pools? Thanks! Audrey: Hi Dr. Cabral, Is greenhouse grown lettuce as nutritious as non greenhouse grown? The package states not sprayed with any pesticides. I try to get my lettuce from my local farmers market but sometimes I cannot make it there. The greenhouse grown seems to be much fresher and better quality than regular store lettuce 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/3795 - - - 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?
