HouseCall: Goat vs. Cow Dairy, White Dots on Skin, Isagenix Breakdown, Weight Fluctuations, Lithium Orotate, Maqui Berries

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!

Valerie: Hi dr.cabral i know you’ve done podcasts on this before but im having trouble finding the one im thinking of. I know you disagree with the intake of dairy due to its inflammation properties but where do u stand on lactose free milk/yogurt or goat diary? Is it less or as safe as nut alternative?

John: I have white dots all over my arms, I have gotten more and more with age. They look like loss of pigmentations, I also have a lot of freckles too. Is there some sort of deficiency that causes this or is this just ageing

Sarah: Hi Dr. Stephen, First off, thank you very much for sharing so much of your knowledge through your podcast. I by no means claim to be a health guru, but your podcast has helped me make some significant changes in my diet and lifestyle and they have proven to work. So, thank you!  I wanted to reach out and ask about your daily nutritional shake. I started using your products about six months ago and I make a daily, breakfast smoothie with the daily nutritional support shake in either flavor, along with your collagen and magnesium as well. However, I have a family who is very into supplements and are representatives of the Isagenix brand. I used these products for about six years before stumbling upon your podcast (and others) and realized that I can do better and be cleaner in my diet. My family hasn’t been able to accept the fact that I’m no longer using the Isagenix products and nearly every time we meet with them they preach to me how “this new shake your taking does not give you the minerals and vitamins that you need.” Can you speak to this at all? I do feel Supplementing is important, but it would be helpful to get some professional insight on how I am in fact getting what I need through your Equilibrium products. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!

Sue: Hi Dr Cabral,  I am at a loss! I feel like I have zero will power and fell that I must be the stupidest person on the planet. I have loads of knowledge of health and wellness and have had massive health gains over the past few years. My family and community see me as their health and wellness go to but I fear that I’m just a fraud.  I have lost about 30 kg through completing food elimination diets, I have even completed 2 x 21 day detoxes. I gain weight very quickly after I complete a protocol. I usually gain at least 3kg (7 pounds) in the first week that I return to regular eating after this I feel deflated and I start over eating. I do so well when I’m on protocol but a few weeks after I’m done start binge eating and over eating. Once I start over eating it is like I have an insatiable hunger – I could literally eat all day and never feel satisfied.  I think it’s a mental thing because a few times I’ve even eat gluten during a binge and caused great pain to myself because I have celiac disease.  The past year I have lost and gained the same 10kg 4 times. I don’t know what is wrong with me, why I’m so weak, why I gain so quickly and what I can do. Do you have any suggestions for why I can’t break this vicious cycle?

Lisa: Looking for you opinion on Lithium orotate. How and when to use it? Brand and dosage to take. Thank you!

Darren: Hey Dr Cabral. You regularly recommend Blueberries in smoothie for breakfast. I’m from Caribbean so we import them frozen. I was wondering if maqui berries are also as effective, better or worse to use as a substitute given the powdered version is available to us. As always keep up great work.

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!
