HouseCall: IV Iron Infusions, Seasoning Cast Iron Pan, EMFs in Bedroom, Regular Colonics, Fasting & Kidney Health
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!
Julia: Hi Dr Cabral, I looked into past podcast episodes and couldn’t find the information I was looking for. What is your opinion on IV iron infusions using Ferric carboxymaltose? My iron and ferritin levels have been low for years and my doctor recommended it to me. Thank you
Lara: Hi, dr. Cabral 🙂 I hope you and your family are doing well.. My question is about seasoning the cast iron pan.. we found lots of videos on HOW to do it (they differ but all in all I guess you need to bake the oil into it many times in the oven) but which oil to use? Some say flaxseed, because of its polymerisation properties, others say of course not flax because it becomes toxic when heated.. some say olive oil, others are strongly against it.. so we need your help! 😉 You are our favourite source of information! How would you do it? And please don’t say lard, because I’m plant-based.. If you could explain the whole procedure that you think is best, that would be a bonus 🙂 Thank you so much, and a great day to everyone !
Anonymous: Hello I have a question about EMFs in the bedroom… We live in a house with different flats… the main wifi router in in the staircase, underneath our bedroom and it’s for all tenants… we also have a built in fridge on the other side of the bedroom wall… how can we protect our bedroom from these EMFs? Also, there’s a cupboard for food storage touching the fridge from the side… is that also bad for the food that’s inside that cupboard? Thank you
Kelsi: hi dr. cabral, thanks for all you do! i get colonics monthly and just wanted to get your opinion on the frequency. is that okay/safe to do?
Autumn: Hi, Dr. Cabral. I hope you can help. Is time restricted feeding beneficial in slowing progression of chronic kidney disease? I & two of my 3 children have just recently tested positive for the non-sex linked Alport syndrome. I already practice the IF 16:8 protocol, but wonder if a weekly 24-hour fast might be beneficial. I’ve listened to your podcasts on kidney health. Good stuff! My most recent labs (UA and blood) have come back clean for the first time since I was 12. (no protein, blood, leukocytes). For the last 2 years I’ve been practicing whole food nutrition, intermittent fasting, 3 days of strength training & 2 days of HIIT. My body’s responding well. I’m curious how IF factors in. *FYI 137 pound female. 5′ 7″. Macro intake @ 2200 cal/day with a 45/25/30 (carbs/protein/fat) split
