HouseCall: Sauna & EMF, Coffee Enema, H-pylori & SIBO, Fasting & Exercise, Semaglutide
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:
Alicja: Hi Dr. Cabral, I listen to your podcast daily and learn so much from you. I keep working on improving my health and see results. I’m going to put an infrared sauna to my house in a couple of months. It will be placed next to my office room and want to ask you if there is anything I could do or purchase to block EMFs from the sauna. Would Soma Vedic be helpful? Or maybe there are other things I’m not aware of? Thank you for all you do, you are such a big help and inspiration in my health rebuilding journey.
Alicja: Hi again 🙂 I also have a question about coffee enema. What is your opinion about adding once capsule of clean gut probiotic to my coffee right before doing coffee enema? Would that be beneficial? I haven’t tried this yet, but I’m very tempted. I take probiotics often, but my last stool test showed I don’t have any Lactobacillius in my gut. Maybe trying to add it through coffee enema would be more effective? Thank you again. I appreciate your help so much.
Nadine: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thanks for the wealth of information you provide. I have suffered with severe gas and bloating for more than a decade. In January, 2022 I did an endoscopy which revealed I had H-pylori. After about 4 weeks of “heavy” antibiotics treatment I did a stool test which showed the H-pylori was gone but I was still very bloated and gasy. I then did a breath test and I tested positive for SIBO. I did another 2 weeks of antibiotics but I still suffer from bloating, gas and indigestion. I have not retested for SIBO as yet as my next appointment with my GI doctor is in March, 2023. I am always extremely tired, lots of fatigue, brain fog and generally feel like crap! Of note, I had thyroid cancer and my entire thyroid was removed in 2012. What do you recommend I do now?
Ann: Thank you so much for all you do Dr. Cabral. The guidance you give is truly life changing!! I have a question about some conflicting information and wonder if it just depends on my bioindividuality. I’ve read not to do heavy exercise (i.e. running) on an empty stomach, because it will spike cortisol, but also have seen that its better to wait to eat until 1 hour after a heavy workout for fat burning. I always start my day with a shake and I am more of a Vata or Pitta body type. I am currently in weight loss mode but also wonder if this advice changes when I go to weight maintenance. Just want to do what is healthiest for my body and longevity. Thank you again- you are truly changing so many lives:)
Anonymous: Hey Dr. Cabral , I hope you are having a beautiful day ! I have a quick question for you . What is your opinion on using a semaglutide for weight loss even though I’m not diabetic ? My Endocrinologist who is also a functional medicine Dr. Prescribed me Rybelsus in pill form to help aid my weight loss and insulin resistance. I have done the fatlosity program to a T. I’m afraid to try the semaglutide .. it seems it’s the new fad weight loss pill or shot and I’m very weary of that . What is your opinion on the subject? I’m about 60 lbs overweight and it’s extremely depressing . I eat pretty clean , work out & hardly drink any alcohol . I have done the big 5 and thyroid & hormones showed all normal .I’m Confused
