    3691: ADHD Medication & Impulsivity, Mitochondrial Health, Long-Term Toxin Exposure, Heavy Metal Detox & Itching, Nighttime Urination (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…    Emily: My sibling was diagnosed with ADHD at a very young age and has been taking ADHD medication for at least 5 years. In the IHP level one course we were learning about neurotransmitters and you were speaking about how having to much adrenaline and dopamine can cause behavioral issue among many other issues. My sibling has had behavioral issues such as compulsive lying, very impulsive, and it seems that she does not think though any of her actions as if her actions have no consequences. Its beyond the normal rebellious teen. I was curious if this could possibly be due to the adhd medication that she has been taking? If so, can you please explain? What labs should we run? How would someone wean off adhd meds? Any other recommendations? Thank you!       Andy: I'd love to get your professional opinion on Mitopure (urolithin A). What does the current research say about its effectiveness for mitochondrial health and longevity, and do you see real-world benefits in your patients or practice?      Sarah: Hello! My husband and I own and operate a diesel truck repair shop and have been in business for 11 years. During that time, I've had regular exposure to diesel exhaust, fumes, solvents, and shop air. Over the past few years, I've experienced some ongoing health concerns (inflammation, fatigue, gut issues) and am wondering whether long-term exposure could be contributing. I'm interested in a functional medicine approach to evaluate possible toxic burden or inflammation and to understand what testing, lifestyle changes, or supplements might help support lung health, detox pathways, and overall wellness. I'm looking for a proactive, preventative approach while continuing to run our business. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!      Anonymous: I started listening to your podcasts a few years ago, and I've learned how to improve my health and quality of life in many ways—so thank you for sharing your knowledge! Question: My heavy metals test showed high levels of mercury and aluminum. Recently started processes to remove them: functional medicine detox (5 days) > intestinal cleanse (2 days) > heavy metal detox (30+ days, still going), and another intestinal cleanse (2 days on 30th day). Feeling mentally and physically better - like my "old self" again. When I started the HM detox, my bowel movements started having a strong smell and causing my anus to itch. Is that due to an elimination of heavy metals or due to ingredients in the detox or cleanse? Thanks.      Pete: Hi Stephen, Thanks for the great work you do. I wake up every night once (sometimes twice) to urinate and would love your thoughts on how to sleep through the night. Some background: I'm a 40-year-old male, generally healthy, eat clean, and don't drink alcohol. I stop eating about three hours before bed and limit fluids in the evening. No caffeine after noon. During the day I also urinate frequently, which I can manage. At night the volume is small, but the urgency signal is strong. I've been checked by a doctor (including prostate), everything looks normal, and I've tried a few medications with limited effect. I'd really appreciate your thoughts on any protocols or angles that might be worth exploring. Best, Peter    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/3691 - - - 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?

    3690: High Cholesterol, Itchy Sinus Support, Children's Wellness Book, Proteolytic Enzymes & Headaches, Tests for Pancreatic & Liver Health (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:     Mohamed: Good day Dr.Cabral. Thoughts on high cholesterol support. I know you covered this topic a lot but anything new that comes to mind? And what kind or protocol would you run over 2-3 months? I know omega3s are great. A good multi. But any others (food also).. in addition to diet improvement. Thanks!      Tom: Thoughts on sinus support.. itchiness both sides (left side a bit more). Would citridical drops help and how would I apply it on the nostrils, currently on Amlodipine and grapefruit is contraindicated. So is there another thing I could try. Thanks for all that you do.      Svetlana: Hello, Dr. Cabral. Have you thought about writing a children's wellness book based on your teachings and the distress protocol? Mostly on the middle school level, since high school kids could comprehend the rain barrel effect. It would be great to have it for a homeschool science class and just in general for all the kids to start learning about how to take care of their body. I'm looking for a science/wellness/whole body and mind book that would be engaging for an 11 year old, but not full or standard allopathic recommendations. Do you know of one you could recommend? A lot of the children's books on the market aren't exactly what you have to offer. Thank you for all that you do.      Jill: Thanks Dr. Cabral for your accessibility in answering questions! Looking for your feedback on Proteolytic Enzymes. I began taking recently at the recommended dose and began having severe headaches that stretched into my lower neck and left shoulder. I thought it might be an allergic reaction or side effect. I stopped for a week and then began again with just 1 capsule a day and seem to tolerate that just fine. Have you seen reactions like this and do you think its ok for me to continue and/or even ramp up at some point and take the full dose?       Lori: Hello Dr. Cabral ~ I listen to your podcast every day, and appreciate you sharing your knowledge and feedback! I am a 59-year-old post-menopausal female, a 27-year Stage 4 Metastatic Melanoma survivor (my recurrence of melanoma occurred when I was pregnant at the age of 31). My mother passed at the age of 36 from pancreatic cancer; my dad passed at the age of 51 from lung cancer. I vist my dermatologist twice per year for skin checks, I avoid the sun, wear sunscreen every day. I am a non-smoker, I exercise daily and I am in good health. Can you tell me if there are tests I should have performed regularly that will indicate the health of my pancreas and lungs? Is that something I should be concerned with? Are there other tests and/or indicators I should be aware of?      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/3690 - - - 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?

    3688: How to Know if You're Low in Vitamin D3 Without Testing (TT)

    Are you truly getting enough vitamin D, or just assuming you are?     On today's episode, I explain why vitamin D is far more than just a vitamin, it actually acts like a hormone in the body and plays a critical role in immune health, mood, metabolism, inflammation, and even longevity.     Many people assume they are getting enough from sunlight, but in reality, most individuals still fall below the optimal range.     So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3688 where I share how to identify the most common signs of low vitamin D without testing and what simple steps you can take to support healthy vitamin D levels year-round.     Enjoy the show!   - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/3688 - - - 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?

    3687: NEW: Test Your Vitamins & Antioxidants From Home (Case Study) (WW)

    3686: The Cancer Gene and How to Regulate It (TWT)

    Did you know your body has a built-in defense system designed to stop cancer before it ever begins?     It's called P53, often referred to as the "guardian of the genome."     This powerful tumor-suppressor gene detects damaged DNA, pauses cell division, and either repairs or eliminates cells before they can mutate into cancer.     But here's the challenge…     Modern lifestyle habits may be suppressing this protective mechanism.     The good news? Supporting your "guardian gene" doesn't require extreme measures, it simply requires realigning with how humans were designed to live.     On today's show, I break down what P53 is, why it's essential for cancer prevention, and how everyday factors influence its function along with simple, practical steps you can take to better support your body's natural cellular protection.     So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3686 to learn more about this cancer gene and how to strengthen your body's natural defense system starting today.     Enjoy the show.   - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/3686 - - - 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?

    Have you ever felt like life is running you instead of the other way around?     Most people don't feel out of control because they're lazy or unmotivated, they feel that way because life becomes repetitive and fragmented. The days blur together, routines take over, and personal growth gets pushed aside.     On today's show, I share a simple but powerful strategy to help you regain control: dedicating just 15 minutes per day to something meaningful that you've always wanted to learn or master.     It's not about overhauling your life or adding stress. It's about choosing one skill, hobby, or subject that excites you and committing to consistent, scheduled progress.     So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3685 to discover how you can start taking back control of your life in just 15 minutes per day.     Enjoy the show. - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/3685 - - - 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?

    3684: Virus & Hives, Optimal Water PH, Dental Recommendations, Eye Health, Ivermectin & Cancer (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…   Sarah: Hi Dr. Cabral. Thank you for all you do! Every time I get a cold or virus I break out in full body hives and it takes my body weeks to reset. I've tried your 21DD but seem to be really sensitive to herbal supplements. (Lots of reactions) Please help!      Mohamed: Hey Dr.Cabral, 2 part question. Firstly, how are you? Where are you in terms of your overall well-being. I know you get a lot of baggage trying to help others! Just wanted to let you know You helped me a lot. Thought I'd ask, how is your well-being. My secondary question is about water pH, I have an under sink AquaTru without the alkaline remineralization. I sometimes add mineral drops.. wondering about optimal pH range for water. No Kangen yet haha it's expensive for a college student!      Jenny: Hi Dr. Cabral - I know you have given recommendations in the past for the community to look into biological dentists, especially when it comes to removing past fillings, alternatives to root canals, etc. What about for regular 6 month check ups and cleanings? If we continue to go to a "regular" dentist for those visits, what is your recommendation about the dental x-rays they require? Thank you!     Anonymous:  Hi Dr. Cabral - I have a question about eye health. My father had Glaucoma which eventually led to full blindness. His eye doctor prescribed multiple eye drops to help maintain the eye pressure to help delay the progression, but he was on those for probably 20-30 years (Lumigan, Alphagan, Cosopt). My eye doctor is watching the pressure in my eyes and would like me to begin drops, as the pressure is higher than the "normal" range. I don't want to use drops, but also want to maintain eye health. I follow your protocols, including 2 Omega 3 soft gels and the Daily Vision and Eye Health. Do you have any other recommendations? Is Inflamma Soothe something I should take on an ongoing basis, as well? Thank you for all that you do.      Dyan: Hello! Thank you so much for all you do! My boyfriend was diagnosed at 26 with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia, with him being so young there are great chances he will go into remission in five years or so and stop his medication. Doctors say CML is a genetic mutation but I know most cancers are from environmental factors. He's taking 50mg of a TKI inhibitor pill daily (considered chemo). I don't feel confident enough in my knowledge to have him stop his chemo pill just yet, but I know we would both love for him to stop it. What is your thought on Ivermectin for cancers patients? I have read it would respond great with his medication. He is super open to anything I've suggested whether it's diet changes or supplements. What supplements or action should we be sure to take?    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/3684 - - - 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?
