    3803: Root Cause of Headaches, Tonsil Stones & Hemorrhoids, Statins & Heart Health, High ALP Levels, CBO Protocol & Acid Reflux (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…   Shannon: I am curious what your take on headaches that stem in your neck and the base of the skull called cervicogenic headaches. What's the root cause of that type of muscle tension headache? I've struggled with them for a couple years now. I'm working with a practitioner and have tested for candida and am on the CBO protocol currently. We're getting ready to test for hormone imbalances next week but I'm fairly sure I have Imbalances. I have heavy cycles and low iron as well with the headaches being mainly the first weekish of the cycle.       Jason: Hello Dr. Cabral, I've dealt with tonsil stones and hemmrhoids for quite some time. I know I have sibo, dysbiosis, and some yeast/fungal overgrowth. Working on those as well. Wondering if you can explain why these are happening and what I can do for them apart from the CBO. Thanks!      Emily: My MIL has high levels of Lipoprotien(a) 232. Her LDL levels are in a good range. She is currenly taking the statin Crestor which is hydrophilic. The RYR is a more natural form but seems to be a lipophilic statin. Her worry is that lipophilic statins crosses the blood brain barrier. Could you please explain this and if this should be of great concern? Would it be better for someone to take a hydrophilic statin vs RYR?       Dana: Asked this on the Facebook page and was advised to ask here. My husband and I are currently doing CBO protocol. Before starting that my husband started getting unusually exhausted after moderate exercise, 50 years old and has always been active, no known health issues. Moderate activity now wipes him out for the rest of the day, this is unusual for him. Recently went to PCP who did blood work and found ALP levels over 450, tested again to rule out lab error and it was about 10 points higher. Has had heart ultrasound and stress test, both normal. Will be getting abdominal ultrasound next week to check liver, etc. If ok, probably bones next. Wondering if CBO protocol dieoff could contribute to high ALP? Live in a country where we can't do mail lab testing. Advice on what else to check for?      Brent: Hi Dr. Cabral, I ran labs years ago and was recommended the cbo with C drops and finisher. Labs showed no parasites at that time. During the cbo i started to see some progress in my digestion and other areas but once I started month 3 I started to notice acid reflux symptoms like a swollen throat and shortness of breath that worsened at night. (symptoms I've had for many years that returned). I thought it was because of changes to my gut microbiome and continued on to the cbo finisher and the problems only got worse to the point that I had to stop the protocols. I can only assume that somewhere along the line due to stress or poor food combining or not eating strict enough that I ended up causing sibo while trying to fix it. Can't think of any other reasons for my situation. Plz help ty.     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/3803 - - - 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?

    3802: Tuning Forks, Eye Pressure, Maintaining Kidney Transplant Health, Low Vitamin D, Melatonin & Sleep (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:    Jenny: Hi Dr. Cabral - I couldn't find a prior question on this topic, so I thought I would ask. What are your thoughts on the use of tuning forks? I have seen ads which claim they are great at calming the nervous system and help with sleep, but I thought I would come to my most trusted source first! Thank you so much to you and your team.       Jenny: Hi Dr. Cabral-I have a good news update to share based on a previous question. Awhile back I asked for your advice regarding the pressure in my eyes. I shared my father was diagnosed with glaucoma at a young age and was prescribed several daily eye drops to reduce the pressure in his eyes for the last 20 years of his life (he lived to 85). He evenually lost his vision completely. My eye doctor has commented about my raised pressure for the past couple of years and several months ago recommended I start the same series of drops. I wanted to try other options first, so I asked here. I already follow the daily protocol level 2 and include Daily Omega 3, and quarterly detoxes. You suggested Daily Vision Support and InflammaSoothe also. My eye pressure is now at a safe level. Thank you so much!       Sophia: Any thoughts on how to maintain kidney function of a transplanted kidney? I have mine for going-on 20 years now       Mickey: Hello, I've tested my Vit D twice now in the last two years and it's incredibly low (28!) and now unchanged despite taking a high dose of D3/K2 (10,000 IU) a few times a week for about a year. I get that there can be underlying causes but I also wonder if I'm taking it wrong? I've heard taking it with a meal containing fat or magnesium is best for absorption. I do live in WI but try to get sun but I think this is so low I need supplementation. Any info is greatly appreciated, thank you so much!      Tricia: Hi Dr Cabral - Thanks so much for doing these podcasts each weekend! Quick question on melatonin. I'm 56 YO female and recently started taking one dropper most nights and found I was still waking at 2am so I added the sleep support supplement (periodically). I don't take either all the time because honestly, I don't feel the melatonin is helping and really the next day I feel sleepier and have a headache. Is that normal? At first, I thought it was helping but now I'm not so sure. I don't have a chronic issue of not sleeping but I go periods of good sleep and not so good sleep. Possibly hormonal? I did test and I'm estrogen dominant. The IHP started me on progesterone support 3 at night. It was helping me sleep like a baby so I'm not sure what is going on lately. Thank you!       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/3802 - - - 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?

    3800: Perimenopause Case Study on Low Energy, Mood & Brain Fog (TT)

    Have you noticed your energy declining, your motivation fading, or your recovery taking longer than it used to?     The frustrating part is that these changes often happen long before a diagnosis or obvious health issue appears.     Sometimes the missing answers aren't found by looking at symptoms alone… they're found by understanding what's happening beneath the surface.      On today's show, I review Ash-Leigh's real client lab results and uncover how mineral imbalances, chronic stress patterns, and nervous system strain may be contributing to fatigue, brain fog, low motivation, and poor recovery.     You'll learn how functional lab testing can reveal hidden patterns involving adrenal function, electrolyte balance, nutrient status, heavy metals, sleep quality, and more.     We'll also discuss practical strategies to support deeper sleep, rebuild resilience, and restore energy naturally.     So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3800 to discover how personalized testing can help uncover the root causes behind low energy and guide you toward better health.     Enjoy the show and let me know your thoughts! - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/3800 - - - 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?

    3796: Anal Fissures, Reaction from Intercourse, Silicosis & Progressive Massive Fibrosis, Severe Hay Fever, Healing Gut After Cancer Treatment (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…   Amy: Hi Dr Cabral. Many thanks for all that you do for this community! I'd love your advice on anal fissures. I had one recently that had begun healing. My doctor gave me Diltiazem/Lidocaine cream that I used 2x day and my fissure closed and developed healing/scar tissue. However, less than 2 months later, it's opened again. His suggestions previously involved either Botox injections or surgery if the cream had not worked and I would prefer to try and address it more naturally. Do you have any suggestions about what I can do to get this fissure to heal and stay healed naturally? I'm working on diet/fiber but that doesn't seem to be enough. One bad bout of constipation and it seems to undo anything I've done to help. Thanks!       Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral. This is a bit of an intimate question. I'm having some sort of reaction after I have sexual intercourse. I get a prickly, itchy, warm sensation in my vagina, on my legs and stomach. Sometimes red bumps appear on my skin. Almost like I'm having an allergic reaction. Symptoms continue on and off for about 3 or 4 days then everything calms down and goes back to normal. It seems to happen more around ovulation and menstruation but recently happening anytime of the month. Any idea what is happening to me and what I can do to heal it?! To note, I'm 40 years old, still getting regular periods. Thank you for your help!       Mke: Hi Dr Cabral, would love your thoughts. I have known for a year I've had silicosis & PMF (progressive massive fibrosis) I was misdiagnosed for the last 15 years they've told me I've had sarcoidosis. My wife is an IHP, and we have been doing foundational protocols/DNS/detoxes/heavy metal detox/saunas/coffee enemas etc for the past 3 years. I have a very physical job and do keep my cardio fitness up, which seems to help my breathing. We have just invested in a home soft shell hyperbaric chamber after speaking to a guy in the US who's lung function has dramatically improved (he has silicosis but not PMF) as well as investing in a rife machine. Do you have any advice, thoughts or info on slowing down or reversing scarring or anything that might help?       Jamie: My daughter, nearly seven, has developed severe hay fever this year in the UK. She is constantly sneezing, has dark circles under her eyes, looks exhausted for almost three months, and her sleep, breathing, concentration and focus seem affected. She may also have a mild dairy intolerance, possibly linked to eczema in her inner elbows, though otherwise she is active and well. We also suspect slightly restricted sinus passages and mouth-breathing, and are considering seeing a functional-medicine-style dentist to support facial/skull development. Could you advise on practical ways to help her and whether any allergy or other tests would be worthwhile at her age to identify the root cause? Any initial guidance hugely welcome. Massive thank you to you your family and your team.      Sarah: Last year I was diagnosed with stage 4 grade 3 endometrial cancer. I underwent six rounds of chemotherapy: Paclitaxel and carboplatin along with immunotherapy; jemperli. I also had a complete hysterectomy after the third round. Prior to treatment I had regular bowel movements. Now they are loose and very dark brown. I have very limited resources currently. What do you suggest I do to heal my gut?    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/3796 - - - 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?
