    3887: Taking Celiac Test, Tuna & Mercury, Afternoon Fatigue, Chronic Diarrhea, Scar Tissue & Lymphatic Drainage (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…   Anonymous: I was wondering what the minimum amount of gluten and minimum amount of days is to eat before taking a celiac test. I heard only 2 weeks instead of 6 will work. I get bad brain fog so can't take the test if it's 6 weeks. Thank you!     S: Hi Dr. Cabral. I recently learned about Safe Catch Tuna. I know normally it is important to limit tuna consumption due to mercury accumulating in the fish. I'm just wondering if this brand truly makes it any safer to consume tuna a bit more often? They have different varieties of tuna such as albacore and skipjack if the type of tuna matters (If it does could you clarify why?).     Holly: Hi Dr. C, the past 6 months ive begun struggling with massive fatigue that hits about 3pm. I complete the seasonal detox, ive done CBO and eat well (including rarely any sugar)… ive changed nothing (apart from starting the gym, lifting weights). I'm 42 and have tried tracking my symptoms to my cycle- and I mostly get fatigued in the first week-2 after my period and a day or 2 before. I'm 42, have an autoimmune condition (alopecia areata that I had rebalanced /regrown but developed another patch a few months ago). Is this perimenopause? What can I do to rebalance my hormones naturally? Note I'm not currently in a financial postion to do any functional testing. Thank you    Susan: Hi Dr Cabral, I'm new to the community and appreciate all that you do. I'm a whole food plant-based eater and eat mostly organic food when possible. Recently I experienced bouts of diarrhea for about 2 weeks before showing improvement over the next two weeks. I didn't want to take over the counter medicine, so I let it run its course. I had no other symptoms. What could I have done to treat this? Thanks for your help.    Erin: I have had 2 c-sections and 2 years ago had a hernia repair and abdominal repair at the same time. For about a year now i have had an area below the diaphragm that is so tight and bloats most of the time. I went to a myofascial specialist and she said that area is full of scar tissue from the repair (it was the start of the abdominal repair in that area) and it was holding so much water. She said the way my c-sections were done it blocked my lymphatic drainage. So i will be doing some weekly work with her but what else can I do to breakdown all that tissue. I am so miserable so often from it. Thank you for your help.     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/3887 - - - 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?

    3886: Urine Smell During Cycle, Pregnenolone & Joint Pain, Balancing Hormones, Eczema Around Eyes, Immune Support During Immunotherapy (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:    Dana:  I'm a 42 year old woman in perimenopause. During the middle part of my cycle, around when ovulation should be happening, I notice that my urine has a very strong smell compared to the rest of my cycle. This lasts about a week. I'm not dehydrated and I don't eat anything differently during this time than I do any other time of the month. This has been going on monthly for at least 6 months but probably closer to a year or more. Is there any cause for concern? What could be causing this? Is this something that can be expected with hormone fluctuations, and if so, why would it have started now but not been going on the rest of my life?      Anonymous: I'm in perimenopause and working with a functional medicine doctor who determined that all 3 of my sex hormones were low. She has put me on several supplements including Pregnenolone. After taking the supplements I noticed that I was experiencing joint pain while not having changed anything else diet or exercise wise. After some removing and adding back I determined that it is the pregnenolone that is causing the joint pain, she finds it very odd. What reasons would this be happening? I live in a country where I can't order your supplements, what would be the best things to take to help boost hormones if I can't take pregnenolone?       Anonymous: Hi Dr CaBral! I recently got my IUD out due to constant spotting and some news about family getting cancer from years of hormone replacement. After having one for many years on and off, I thought it best to let my body just get back to it's natural state. I did a 7day detox and started taking progesterone support for a month after. After 3 months my cycles have returned back to normal, but I've started losing my hair, have dry skin and just dragging all the time now. My chiropractor/naturopath muscle tested and ovaries were not optimal at all, thyroid was a 2 out of 10, my system is showing blocked and my body is having a hard time detoxing on it's own. Overall I'm very healthy and was not having issues until now. I don't have the money to test right now. What can I do to get back on track?       Mackenzie: About a year and a half ago, I started getting what seems to be eczema flare ups around my eyes, specifically my eyelids and outer corners of my eyes. When it flares up, my eyelids become red, swollen, itchy and watery. The skin becomes thick and very dry and flakey. Around the time it began, I did move into a new building, and my partner has noticed a spot on his neck similar to what I get around my eyes. It seems to flare up more when I eat too much sugar/gluten, but I also sometimes have flares when I don't eat those things. Recently it has only flared when I have a virus, ie a cold/flu or HSV outbreak. I'm an IHP1, and recently completed the Vita-Min Tox test and the only thing noted was slightly high aluminum levels which I am working on. What do you rec. I focus on next? Thank you!!       Anonymous: Hello Dr.Cabral, hope you are well. Regular viewer of your weekly ask cabral content. Not asking for medical advice but wanting to support my immune system during immunotherapy for my liver. They mention potential autoimmune side effects, I know your releasing a new resource or course regarding cancer. Hoping you touch on Immunotherapy on it. I read your research page. It was very extensive and helpful.       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/3886 - - - 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?

    3883: Does Cutting Carbs Make You Tired & Weak? (WW)

    Could the timing of your carbohydrates be just as important as how many you eat?     If you're eating a lower-carb diet, you may be paying close attention to the amount of carbohydrates you consume while overlooking another important factor: when you're eating them.     On today's show, I'm breaking down some interesting research on carbohydrates and exercise, along with why the timing of your nutrition may be worth a closer look.     We'll take a look at why the hours following a workout may be an especially important time to consider carbohydrates, how your body replenishes its energy stores after exercise, and why avoiding carbohydrates altogether may not produce the results you're looking for.     So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3883 where I uncover if cutting carbs is making you tired and weak and share why carbohydrate timing may be an important piece of the nutrition puzzle.   - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/3883 - - - 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?

    3880: Thinning Hair, CBO Protocol & Sensitivity, Peripheral Artery Disease, High Cholesterol & Statins, Electric Toothbrushes & EMFs (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…   John: Hey doc ! Huge fan I'm 50 year old male and have thinning hair I've been taking your hair support for a few years what other products do you recommend I don't see any on your resource page . Thanks      H: Hi Dr. Cabral! I have been a client and a huge fan since 2017! No other provider comes close to your common sense appraches. Have bloating for couple years and last few months diarhea in am. I plan to order Candida protocol but a few years ago on month 2 of protocol, experienced gastritis. Have a very sensitive stomach, (citrus/ibuprofen unable to tolerate since childhood). What suggestions do you have to complete Candida protocol successfully. Completed Heavy Metals detox 7-2026, inflammation/food sensitivity tests 8-15-26 My diet is very clean, gluten-free, recently introduced sheep yogurt. Soon will start 7 day detox. My NP referred me to GI for diarhea, labs noted have markers for inflammtory bowel disease. I don't expect much from the GI visit! Thank you for your help!!      Stacey: Hi Dr.Cabral , I've been recently diagnosed diagnosed with possible PAD my Right leg was 0.81 and L 0.78 . I'm only 47 . High cholesterol no matter how clean I eat . It's a genetic disposition. My grandma died at age 49 from stokes & aneurysm. I'm terrified! I do your detoxes , protocols, supplements & enzymes. I follow your teachings . I'm at a loss of what to do . They want to put me on a Statin . Those scare me. What is the best way to treat this and stop it in its tracks . I don't smoke , I work out 5 to 6 days a week, I do have dysautonomia/ POTS but healed myself so much from that condition. Now I'm facing PAD , vein insufficiency & Lipedema . Plus may be having a prophylactic mastectomy to prevent breast cancer that is like wild fire in my family . My DNA sucks ! HELP PLEASE.       Stacey: Hi Dr. Cabral Stacey again concerning PAD . I left out that my LDL is 219 and I do have genetically high cholesterol. I've been trying to treat natural but it's been high for years . They also found small amount of plaque on my left carotid artery . Do you think it's time for a statin ? Do you have other suggestions? I've been on the enzymes for over a year now to treat it . I'm so scared of strokes & heart attacks. I'm only 47 and live a healthy lifestyle. I'm in shock by my results . PAD has not been confirmed yet but the first test is abnormal . I also have vein insufficiency & Lipedema & dysautonomia. I'm falling apart & can't stop crying . I do alllllll the things to fight for my health. Worst habit is an occasional drink       L: Hi, dr. C, hope you're well. I listened to the Friday review on the red light tooth brush & I'm wondering if you've ever heard that electric toothbrushes emit a lot of EMFs & so close to the brain, do you think it's true? I prefer to use an electric toothbrush but I'm wondering if they're actually that dangerous. Secondly, have you seen that now they're making more natural bristles? Most toothbrushes have plastic bristles which we grind against our teeth, so probably they're also a source of microplastics in our bodies. I've heard of castor oil bristles but it makes me wonder how much chemicals do they have to use in the process of making castor oil into bristles? Would love your take on it & maybe if there's some research available on it already? Thank you so much for all you do!     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/3880 - - - 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?
