HouseCall: Tracking Digestion, Anxiety Medication, Sauna & Replenishing Minerals, Sleeping Temperature, Hidradenitis Suppurativa
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!
Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral, I am almost done with the CBO protocol and i am so grateful to you and your team for all the support and resources you offer. I have been tracking my elimination to assess how my digestion is doing. However, it is a but tricky for me because i sometimes can not tell what causes reactions. If i have a healthy elimination today, and an imbalanced one the next day, how do i know when i ate the food that cause the imbalance? How long does it take for the food to go through the digestive tract and become eliminated? I have been finding varied answers online.
Victoria: Recently I’ve had a lot of anxiety that appears to be mental, but also lack of sleep / my period makes it worse. I’ve started having panic attacks when I’m in environments where I feel “unsafe” due to chronic and persistent vertigo I’d have for 4-5 years now (had full vestibular testing, MRI, cut out food sensitivities, tried low histamine diet, no avail). I eat all organic and very healthy. Tried your CBO, I take your supplements, etc. It’s gotten to the point where I am thinking about considering anti anxiety medication, because otherwise I feel so stressed when even leaving my house. (I have very high cortisol) Do you think it could work if I tried the medication, used it to reset my nervous system, and then weaned off of it? I had lyme, mold in past and potentially a PTSD event
Erica: If I have a 2 high 2 low pattern on my HTMA test, would you recommend infrared sauna 4-5x a week? I have high levels of mold in my body and I’d like to start working on detoxing it out, but it seems like my sodium and potassium and both quite low and I’m wondering if it’s a good idea. With that being said, if I did sauna that much a week, how much sodium / potassium might you recommend I take daily to replenish? Thank you!
Marianne: Hello doctor Cabral, Thank so much for your time and allowing us to ask these questions. I have one about sleep: I usually feel a bit cold when I go to sleep, so I wear socks and use thick covers. However, I often wake up in the middle of the night, because I’m feeling too hot. So I’m really not sure how to deal with this. I can’t fall asleep if I’m too cold, but I keep waking up if I’m too hot. What would be your advice? Thanks so much! Marianne
Gillian: Hi Dr. Cabral. I am a 41 tear old woman and I’ve just found out i have Hydradenitis Supprativa. I want to avoid antibiotics, injections, hormones, etc. I’m currently beginning an elimination diet. Any other suggestions or products i can use would ve much appreciated. Please help.
