HouseCall: Continuing Ed, Bruising, Gum Recession, Stomach Fat, Low Sex Drive
I hope you enjoyed yesterday’s 1st edition of the weekend Cabral #HouseCalls!
Today, we have 3 more community questions so let’s get started:
Deborah: Dr. Stephen Cabral, You (and your team) inspire me, and thank you for staying inspired so you can continue to give so freely to people. I’m interested in the holistic functional medicine approach. I want to begin pursuing foundational training to be able to offer care to others in need. I’ve looked at the RD route but want an education that incorporates prescribing methods of healing found naturally in the earth primarily through nutrition [similar to a naturopathic doctor but I don’t want to become a doctor]. Do you know which field(s) of medicine would best help me do that? Side question: I get bruises easily when I bump into things. Do you know a natural remedy to heal bruises effectively? Btw tried your Detox for the first time..it was grand 🙂
Melissa: Hi Dr. Cabral – first of all, thank you so much for everything you do! My question is this: my husband (age 29) has gum recession (lower front teeth and it’s also beginning on his upper front teeth) that is progressively getting worse. He had a graft done about 5 years ago and it was semi-successful and he maintained that for about 3 years until he had his teeth cleaned and for whatever reason, the hygienist had to clean pretty aggressively near the gum line. Ever since that time he has watched it worsen. His dental hygiene is great which is why this is so disappointing because he takes better care of his teeth than anyone I know. Right now he is oil pulling with coconut oil and some oregano oil. Is there anything he can do? Through my own research, I’ve read about supplementing with CoQ10 and Vitamin C. He would prefer not to have another surgery. Thanks!
Alice: Hi, I have 2 girls under the age of 4 – I am healthy, eat well, supplement well, green powder, etc. I exercise 4/5 days a week, fairly active during the day – always hit my 10k steps. I am having a few problems post babies – 1. stomach fat- all my body fat seems to be here and quite stubborn. I am toned everywhere else and these last 7 pounds seem to be all on my tummy- can you help? I have done the IGG food tests and eliminated them. 2. my sex drive since having my 2nd child has gone! obviously I have less time, working, being a mum and cooking from scratch, gym, etc but I’d really like to connect again with my husband. any advice would be fabulous – thank you for all your help – you are great.
