HouseCall: Reactive Hypoglycemia, Postbiotic Supplements, Type 1 Von Willebrand’s, THC-Infused Drinks, Longer Periods
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…
Let’s get started!
Laura: Hi Dr. Cabral, I’m an IHP2 OG, and loving how it expanded my practice to support others. Thank you for making that possible. I have a client who gets severe dizziness, brain fog and fatigue the day after she eats any sugar, starchy veggies, sugar, almonds to name a just a few. She can’t even have the DNS. We did OAT, PCP extensive blood work, hormones and HTMA. No gut based issues on OAT and she does not experience any gut based symptoms. Her Insulin was 2.3 which was on the lower end and she has VERY high ferritin (250). Since working together she is starting to feel good in other areas, but this is one that lingers. I realize we do not treat, cure or diagnose – but I thought possible reactive hypoglycemia? I could not find any root causes for this and wanted to know your thoughts.
Laura: Hi Dr Cabral! I know you have shared your thoughts on fecal transplants before, but I could not find anything on Postbiotic Supplement. I realize you can’t say the name, so basically the freeze dried feces supplement. I have a client who had another practitioner recommend this to her (She does not even experience any digestive destress). If someone had severe gut based issues, or auto immune like Ulcerative colitis or crohns and they still suffer after trying many things, do you think there is a time and place for this? Thank you!
Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral, my wife has lived with Type 1 Von Willebrands her whole life and has been given the traditional western medicine approach to manage it. I am curious if you have ever encountered this and what recommendations you would have, especially when it comes to pregnancy/child birth. That is not too far down the road for us and would like to have some basic knowledge from a functional medicine standpoint. Thank you!
Ria: Delta-8 and Delta-9 THC infused drinks are popping up everywhere. Are they safe? I worry about the unknowns of how these products are manufactured, plus the reported health issues and reactions. Thanks for all you do!
Kelsi: hi dr. cabral! my cycle the last 6 months has been longer than usual (about 35-40 days) before it restarts. i only bleed for 3-4 days which is normal for me but days 25-35, i’m holding a lot of water, sweating at night, etc. i’m waiting to purchase the stress mood & metabolism test until im done with the CBO protocol -there anything i can do about this in the meantime?
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!
