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:

Darcy: I love eating very spicy foods on a daily basis and drinking lemon water often, and for a cheat meal once in a while I will have pizza or pasta with marinara sauce. The other day I think this way of eating collectively led to my issue of waking up at 3am with severe chest pain. Every deep breath or movement seemed to make it worse. My wife has had acid reflux many times before and coached me through it I had an antacid and a glass of cows milk(which so many people say help so much and it worked for me) I ended up sleeping in almost a sitting up positing because laying down intensified the pain. I am 37 and it was the first time I’ve had this what can I do to make this my last? Why does tomato sauce affect so many people negatively especially as we age such as myself this never happened in my youth and I eat so clean now. Raw tomatoes eaten or put in smoothies cause no issue but the sauce from tomatoes cause reflux or heartburn please explain why. It took about 3 says to fully recover. Thanks for all you do.

Neeks: Hey Dr. Cabral. I have a small bump at my upper inner lip. I believe it was caused via an allergic reaction to a lipstick brand or something. I visited my ENT and he diagnosed it as a retention cyst. He recommends surgery to remove it. He says sometimes one can bite it off but mine is in an awkward position to do so. It doesn’t hurt or anything but I would like it to go away. Is there any means aside surgery for someone to get rid of it? My brother says to try high doses vitamin C and NAC but he’s no doctor and I would like to receive advice from someone who’s qualified like yourself. As always keep up great work.

Noel: Hi Dr. Cabral, Do you have any plans to offer The Rain Barrel Effect via audio??? I just listened to episode 560 about speed reading, in which you also mention auditory learning and audio books. Thank you for sharing your tips. AND for mentioning audio learning. I started consuming audio books when I had debilitating brain fog from chronic biotoxin exposure and chronic stress. And I hear so many people with chronic illness say they have trouble concentrating and retaining healing information via text. Now that I’m way better, I STILL love audio books! I must be an auditory learner. Plus it’s so convenient to listen to books via audio while walking, driving or doing household chores. Thank you for so many informative podcasts, and for empowering people to empower people! An audio version of your book would be an amazing addition. : )

Jimmy: Hi Dr Cabral, thank you for everything you do. After getting tested, I have discovered that I have very high cortisol levels which is leading to anxiety. After doing some research and also experience in the fitness industry I came to the conclusion that it was best to stop weight training and exercising until I get my Cortisol levels back in a normal range. Do you think this was the right move or do you think I can still train? If not, when can I start training again in your opinion?

Joanna: Hi Dr Cabral I would love to know more about diabetes. My dad has type 2 and gets tired often what causes people with diabetes to be tired? His blood sugars do fluctuate sometimes they are good other times they are a little high. His diet isnt too bad no sweets or sugars, he gets out and walks. Could you please refer me to any other podcasts you have and if you can just explain briefly what causes the fluctuations in blood suagrs and why they can get tired and even urinate more frequently especially at night? Thank you so much joanna

Nalini: Hi Dr Cabral, live your podcast listen to it all night when I can’t sleep due to my skin itching all night Iv done your detox and big 5 test I had to go see my doctor because my leg had a bump that everyone thought turned into staph he looked at all my skin with excema everywhere and suggested I do BioPhotonic therapy do you know anything about it.
