    3564: Shoulder Replacement & Pain, Internal Hemorrhoids, Sunlight & Contacts, Chronic PPI Use, Brottrunk Bread Drink (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:    Lauren: Hi Dr Cabral, I want to start by thanking you for all you do! I love listening to your podcasts and have learned so much. I had surgery 15 years ago to fix a labrum tear and within the last year I started experiencing pain again. I had a scope done and found out the suture rubbed the cartilage off my shoulder joint (this probably isn't the correct medical terminology) and now I'm experiencing bone-on-bone pain. I was told there wasn't anything I could do unless I replaced my shoulder. I'm working on fixing my gut and will then do a liver detox. Other than working on inflammation, what else can you recommend?                                                                                                                                                         Ann: quick question - what are your thoughts on banding internal hemroids? I recently had a colonoscopy for gut issues and in their report mentioned the hemroids i knew I had but also that they band them at their clinic. I never heard of this - I'd love to get rid of them as they are uncomfortable and messy. They say it's uninvasive and low risk but I don't always trust what the medical field has to say - just wondering what your thoughts are. Thank you for your time! :) and for all the help you give your followers.                                                                                                                                                            Audrey: Hi Dr Cabral, I know to get adequate morning sunlight I shouldn't be wearing glasses, but what about contacts? Am I still getting the healthy benefits of sunlight with wearing contact lenses? Thanks so much                                                   Anonymous: I was diagnosed with Barrett's Esophagus a year ago after getting an EDG through my GI doctor. He told me I'd need to be on PPIs for the rest of my life. This terrifies me...but I've tried to come off of them before and it's really uncomfortable. I generally understand how PPIs work and now acid will flood the body when you come off of them, and that it takes time but I've tried and can't make it past several weeks...what would you recommend?                                               Bettina: Hello Dr. Cabral, I'm curious to know your thoughts on this product. Brottrunk, a trusted German product for 36 years, is made from 100% organic, freshly baked sourdough bread (spring water, whole grain bread (WHOLE RYE FLOUR, water, WHOLE WHEAT FLOUR, natural sourdough (WHOLE RYE FLOUR, water), salt, WHOLE OAT FLOUR)). The bread is sliced, soaked in spring water, and fermented for six months. This process produces lactic acid and beneficial lactic acid bacteria, creating a drink rich in enzymes, vitamin B12, minerals, and amino acids. Brottrunk supposedly supports a normal immune system and energy metabolism, and helps reduce tiredness and fatigue. It may also have cleansing, detoxifying, and antifungal effects, making it an excellent probiotic supplement for digestion.         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/3564 - - - 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?

    3558: Celiac & Digestive Enzyme, CBD Gummies & Joint Pain, DHEA & Acne, Clothing & Polyurethane, Afternoon Brain Fog (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…   Lynette: I have Celiac Disease and worry about cross-contamination when eating at restaurants or friends' homes. People have suggested taking a gluten digestive enzyme, but I don't want to digest gluten. Is there anything I can take prior to eating that would rid my body of gluten, should I unknowingly come into contact with it? I'm a "silent celiac" so don't experience immediate GI upset, but instead suffer joint pain, headaches, and skin issues afterward. Living gluten-free out in the world is tough, so any suggestions to make things easier and safer are appreciated. Thanks!                                          Anonymous: I received a complimentary bottle of CBD Gummies -- thanks! Are there any contraindications with taking them? I'm thinking about them for my older parents, who are on the typical American old-age pharmaceuticals, including high blood pressure medication, statins, and Gabapentin. Will the gummies help with general aches and pains? Thank you.                                                                                                                                                                                            Sarah: I did labs through Equilife and found that my testosterone and DHEA were significantly low. For reference, I am a 49 year-old perimenopausal female. I started using about 8 mg of DHEA orally daily. (at that point I had 25 mg capsules I was splitting) Within three days of starting I had some longer lasting cystic acne on my face starting to appear. I gave it a few weeks to resolve and then began 25 mg of 7 keto DHEA daily and have had no acne breakouts at all. On my call with my IHP through Equilife to follow up from the labs, I was told that 7 keto DHEA is the same as regular DHEA and is likely just a marketing tool. Can you tell me why I reacted significantly different to the 7 keto DHEA? Several companies, some quite reputable sell it, do you recommend it in my case?                                              Anonymous: Hello, I appreciate the work you do, and would like your input to help me make a purchasing decision. I wanted to buy some Japanese selvedge jeans and notice they contain 2% Polyurethane. I had difficulty establishing whether the use of Polyurethane in clothing is harmful and wanted to know if you could direct me to resources which could provide me with more insight on this topic? Please let me know.                                                                                               Anonymous: I struggle with brain fog and low energy in the afternoons, even though I get enough sleep. Could this be related to blood sugar balance, and if so, what are some easy ways to stabilize it throughout the day?               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/3558 - - - 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?

    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:    Sami: Hi Dr. Cabral! I'm currently in level 1 IHP certification program right now and loving everything so far. I'm even going to try the 14 day detox soon. Anyways my question pertains to myself that I've been struggling with for a bit. I'm a 24 year old female who lives a pretty healthy lifestyle but the one things I can't seem to figure out is why my face turns bright red and I get a hot flashes when I speak to people about 60% of the time. It happens at random times and with random convos. Is this something happening internally that could be causing this? Any recommendations??                                          Matt: Hey Dr. C! I have pretty good oral health. I use a tongue scraper, floss, FYGG toothpaste and I brush 2x a day. I also use their oral breath mints. However, my wife still tells me that my breath smells bad. Obviously, I don't want this. Lol. I don't want to use conventional toothpaste/mouthwash since there's a lot of chemicals in there. Would love to hear your take on this. Thanks for being the man the myth and the legend! -Matt                                                                                   Della: My right foot has been extremely dry for the past couple of years.

Could diet or gut health be playing a role, and if so, where should we start? 10/2   Yvonne: My cholesterol labs have increased from previously: total cholesterol is now 6.44 (Normal range: below (Normal range: below (Normal range: below (take natural dessicated thyroid) and pre-diabetic - generally A1C hovers between 5.9 and 6.     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/3557 - - - 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?
