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!
Tony: my goal is longevity n antiaging.. i practice daily MMA jiu jits su and kickboxing.. i am active. i just want great health. tell me what is the protocol for me to have a very healthy all around body in n out. I’m 29yrs old.
Molly: Dear doctor Cabral,I’m a health and wellness coach, and listen to your podcast every day. I have to say, I think I learned more from you than I ever did with my other courses, so I want to thank you for that. Now there’s something I’m struggling with personally and haven’t been able to get to the bottom of it. I really hope you can help. I’m a healthy, 40 year old woman, vegan, meditating every day, exercising 6 days a week, doing 18:6 intermittent fasting. I fall asleep easily around 9.30pm, but wake up every night between 3 and 4 pm, am wide awake and just can’t go back to sleep. In the end I doze off an hour or two later, usually just before alarm goes off at 6am. I wake up so tired, and am exhausted and have brain fog throughout the day. Do you have any idea what might be causing this? It would be wonderful if you could give me some tips and ideas what to look for. Thank you so much in advance, much respect, Molly
Maci: Hi Dr. Cabral. I recently discovered your podcast and have been listening to several episodes each day. The work that you do is inspiring, thank you! I am a 23 year old female and I have a number of issues going on and would like your guidance on where to begin. I’m currently in school pursuing my Master’s in Social Work and due to the intense program schedule, I’m not working and unfortunately, cannot afford lab testing at this time. Both sides of my family have a history of heartburn and acid reflux and my dad is being treated for Barrett’s Esophagus. When I started college, I began experiencing heart burn and was put on Omeprazole. I’m no longer taking the Omeprazole as my symptoms have since subsided, but I often get this feeling of having liquid in the back of my throat. There are no burning sensations or pain, but nothing seems to help. I also struggle with constipation and bloating, however, I’ve been following your recommendation of lemon water to start the morning and using your smoothie guide to try following “liquid before lunch,” for the past week. In addition, I have struggled with cystic acne and have been on birth control pills for 7 years and also take 100mg of Spironalactone daily. Lastly, I was diagnosed with anxiety in September of 2018 and take Citalopram daily for that as well. In listening to several of your shows on leaky gut, acne, and anxiety, I’ve realized that many of my issues could be stemming from my gut. I would like to get off all my medication (other than birth control), but need to know where to start in the process of doing so. Overall, I live a healthy lifestyle, exercising 5-6 days per week (both resistance training and some HIIT/Aerobic exercise), I teach one yoga class each week, and I eat a diet full of protein (however, learning that I probably need more fish and Omega-3’s from your podcasts), fruits, and vegetables. I’m 5’11” with a thin stature and as you’ve discussed, it’s more difficult for me to put on muscle than it is to lose fat. I’m planning to do your 21 day detox (likely will have completed by the time this appears on the show), but will wait to begin until I return from Mexico at the end of March. Thank you so much for all that you do and I appreciate you taking the time to provide me with recommendations!
Susane: Hi! I have some questions around cherry angiomas. I’ve always had one or two major ones my whole life, they have never changed and haven’t caused any concerns or thoughts, until now. The last half a year or so they have been appearing everywhere on my body all of a sudden at an exponential rate. This makes me worried as I dont want them as of aesthetic reasons, but also because I am wondering if something is wrong. I am 27 years old. Hence, do you know what causes them? Root cause? Can it be due to heavy metals? Been reading that bromide can cause them. How do you think I should address the problem? Do you think they will disappear by themselves as I find the root cause? What do you specific recommend me doing going forwards? What would you do. Thanks.
Cody: Hi Dr. Cabral, My dentist tells me I have slightly receding gums. What causes this and what can be done to stop or reverse this? Thanks,
Patrick: Hey dr Cabral hope all is well with you and your family. Been feeling great since finding your podcast about 8 months ago and doing your DNS everyday . Now that summer is coming up my question is about poison ivy, me and my kids ( triplets ) go bike riding a lot on trails in the woods and are on soccer fields a few days a week it seems like me and my one son get poison ivy even if we look at it and then it’s always the same thing go to the doctor get a Creme that never works go back in a week now covered in it and then get a zpac and it clears right up . What can I do to keep it from spreading all over and treat it naturally. Thank you and keep up the great job your doing.
Susan: My 85 year old mother is suffering terribly with shingles. Terribly is putting it lightly and it’s been for months now! She has been under a Dr’s care but it seems like nothing really can be done. He finally took her off of hydrocodone because she was becoming addicted to it. Both my mother and my mother in law are urging my husband and I to get the “shingles shot”, they are so worried about us getting the shingles. We are 55 and I personally have never even gotten a flu shot. What are your thoughts about getting the shingles shot? Thank you!
