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:
Stacy: Hi Dr. Cabral I hope you are having a Blessed day . I have dysautonomia/POTS . I did the Big 5 and other labs over year and half ago . Worked with a coach , did several protocols ect . I. Have improved some but the sensory overload/ SEVERE Anxiety is still there . It’s even stopped me from attending church and social events. I feel as though I’ll have a seizure due to the over stimulation. I’ve exhausted all avenues besides SSRIs and my spinal issues from an ATV accident where I landed on head & neck . I have lots of issues with it but terrified to have my neck adjusted due to strokes that can occur . Do you think the dysautonomia could be from my cervical spine ? I’m at a loss of what to do besides possible surgery or SSRIs and I really don’t want to do either but I’ve been suffering long
Annalize: I’m a healthy 47-year-old woman 6.0 ft tall 165 lb. I’ve struggled with recurrent vaginal yeast infections since high school, trying various treatments. I worked with a Clinical Nutritionist, adopting a paleo diet, my Candida tests were negative, and the infections persisted. I completed the Functional Medicine Detox and CBO protocol. My daily routine includes Fruit and Vegetable blend and Daily Nutritional Support, along with a healthy diet and lifestyle choices. We’ve been married 23 years, no STDs, 3 children. I’m open to any recommended tests or changes to my routine, as this ongoing issue is becoming increasingly frustrating. Your assistance is greatly appreciated!
Lindsay: Hello, Does stevia cause fertility problems? An influencer recently posted something along the lines of tribes used to use it as birth control?!
Alicja: Hi Dr. Cabral, I hope you are doing well and having a great day. Two years ago my blood work showed I had Hashimoto and hypothyroidism. I listen to your podcasts, I took your course about Thyroid, I implemented now foods to my diet, did heavy metal detox, made some changes and have been doing all the right things. My TSH numbers went lower over time, then fell into a healthy range, but my last labs showed my TSH being very low, it went down to 0.3. Does that mean that I went from hypothyroidism to hyperthyroidism? Also my anty-TPO are ok (very low) but I have still elevated anty-TG. What does that indicate now? Do I still have Hashimoto or is it Graves now? Thank you in advanced for clarifying that for me. You always are a big help!
Conny: Hi Doctor Cabral, Thanks so much for all the wonderful work you’re doing. You’ve truly changed my life with all the great health information. I have a question about waking up hungry at 4am. I think it might be low blood sugar, because I do circadian fasting and my last meal is around 3 or 4pm. Is there anything I can take before bed to stabilize my blood sugar without breaking my fast? Thanks so much! Conny
