HouseCall: Morton’s Neuroma, Constipation in Kids, Afternoon Energy, Hypospadias, Joint Pain & Hypermobility, NMN Recommendation
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:
Larissa: I have had a Morton’s Neuroma in my foot for about 7 years. I have tried alcohol injections, accupuncture and cryo surgery, all giving some relief but ultimately the pain comes back. My podiatrist is now recommending decompress surgery, and I am sceptical that will work. Can you address a more natural remedy that will get rid of it? I have tried ALL of the pads, spacers, shoes, etc that attempt to alleviate it, I am looking for it to be gone. Thank you!
Emily: Hello! Thanks for all your work at helping people become a healthier self and healthier world! My daughter is about to turn 3. She has been having “pellets” or harder balls for bowel movement. She drinks plenty of water and I feed her as healthy as I can. (Fruits,vegetables, no “packaged” things, And I even eliminated dairy.) She takes multivitamin, vitamin d, probiotic, and fish oil everyday. She wasn’t a premature birth, vaginal birth, and was breastfed for 15 months. She has a little belly but I always thought it her age. (you know how little ones look a little bloated before they stretch?) she doesn’t complain of pain and she’s a good eater. Do you think I should change something or do something differently? Thanks I appreciate it, emily and hazel
Jennifer: Thank you Dr. Cabral for all of your free education! My husband and I recently stopped drinking coffee and any caffeine to prepare for your 7 day detox. My husband was drinking upwards around 8-12 cups of coffee every day. Now he is drinking none and feeling good despite being extremely tired. He has no energy by late afternoon and feels like sleeping after work for several hours. I’m wondering if his adrenal system needs some sort of supplement to aide in functionality. Thank you for your time!!
Christina: Hello. My son was born with a Hypospadias and just had surgery to fix it. I’m trying to get pregnant and would like to avoid my next son having this same issue. Is there a specific vitamin I’m missing? I appreciate your time.
Katie: Hi Dr. Cabral! I currently have a goal to be able to complete a 5K. I have a history of significant joint pain-especially when running. I am also hypermobile. I have significantly decreased my rain barrel thanks to my IHP1 knowledge (going onto level 2!) and healing which has helped my joint pain, but I have had joint pain with running for many, many years now–could this be related solely to my hypermobility? Currently I do 10K steps and have completed some body weight exercise and light weight exercises-but have struggled with doing “too much too fast” and have felt worse and am back to just walking for exercise. I know healing is non-linear. By the time you get this message, I will have completed my HMD and will be completing my Stress Mood and Metabolism testing after. What would you suggest for appropriately working toward my strength training + 5k goal knowing I have struggled with hypermobility? Is there a best type of supplement for me as far as collagen? Have you had other clients successfully work through joint pain related to hypermobility-or are there other reasons for this I may not be aware of? (I have completed multiple FMDs, Para Support Protocol, CBO, and am underway with CBO finisher!). Thank you so much, as always, for your knowledge and direction!
Richard: Which NMN do you recommend and take?
