HouseCall: Testing & Menopause, Alternate Cancer Therapies, Rotating Carbs & Protein, Repair for Inguinal Hernia, Non-Methyl vs Methylated Vitamins

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:

Sheena: Hi Dr. C! Hope you and your team are well. I’m at 46 yo female in the thick of perimenopause, and suffering from all its symptoms and I also have gut issues too. I’m going to run the Big Five and would also like to run the Menopause and Fertility test as well. My question is, will running the Menopause test be beneficial even though the Big 5 includes the Stress Mood test? I would like as much data as possible because knowledge is power, but also don’t want to purchase unnecessary tests. Looking forward for your response!

Anonymous: Have you ever heard of Cantron/Cancel/Protocel? It claims to help with C using bioelectrical wellness. “Stimulate cellular regeneration so body can regenerate/repair more efficiently, by restoring the electrical environment which determines whether cells thrive/die.” It has K, NA, Fe, Ca, Cu, sulfur and a blend of phenolic compounds from flavonoid family subgroup catechins, quinones, hydroxyquinones and cyclophentenes. My family knows people that have had success with it. My aunt has triple negative breast cancer despite taking it. She is adiment that she wants to stay on it while working on lifestyle changes. Taking it limits other supplements she can take so I feel stuck in how to help her. Any insight you have would be great!

Alex: Will it boost my metabolism and enable me to enjoy all foods while keeping my weight stable if I do every other day. So one day carbs only next protein only next carbs only next protein only and so on? Thankyou Alex

Anonymous: Is it possible that an inguinal hernia could repair itself without the need for surgery? (Asking for an adult female in case this matters.) What corrective exercises would be recommended, and which exercises should be avoided? How long might this kind of hernia take to repair if it is possible? Thank you!

Patricia: I can’t handle any methylated vitamins or quercetin – I react strongly, fatigue, body tingling and aches, migraines. I know the cause – mold, and I’m working on it. However my coach (not an ihp) keeps trying to push methyl’s as she says this means I’m methylating poorly. I think this means I can’t clear methyl’s, not that I don’t methylate enough. What do you think? I do have a mthfr variant, not on the primary snp but the other one, and I am a fast COMT. I am trying to figure out how to dial in my b vitamins and how to make sure I don’t overdo it. I take all non methyl forms now. This is also keeping me from doing your detox sadly, as the daily nutritional support has methyl’s. Any insight or pointers would be appreciated!

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!
