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:
Jami: Dr. Cabral, I look forward to your podcasts daily, and the functional medicine research that you provide. I am a registered dietitian and have clients asking about GHK copper peptide patches. There is a company called “Livewave” that sells small patches, and claims to use phototherapy and accupuncture within the patches, to trap infrared energy when placed on the body. I suspect just an MLM to be researched with discernment but have you discussed this at some point? I know you talk some of red light and infrared therapies, but can you tell me what is the most researched phototherapy, and whether or not to your knowledge, these patches would even have logic behind them? Thank you so much for your help.
Alexia Hi Dr. Cabral! Been working with your team a few months now and just want to thank you all for helping me get back to normal after my ectopic pregnancy and balancing my hormones. I wanted to ask your thoughts on the Rhogam shot they are telling me I will have to get in my future pregnancies because of my blood type being Negative and my husband positive. I am not wanting to do this and have been really stressed about it. Any advice? Other options? I understand this is not medical advice. Thanks again so much!!
Brittany: My 7 year old son is going to have heart surgery to repair an advanced ASD. How would you prepare your child for surgery – diet, supplements, etc and same for post op. Thank you sooo much for everything you do.
Daniel: I experience nearly daily migraines and have actively engaged with your practice, attentively listening to all of your podcasts. I’ve undergone numerous tests and focused on rectifying specific deficiencies. However, the challenge I face is that no matter which supplements I attempt, my migraine symptoms worsen. This issue extends beyond just supplements; it includes foods, and pharmaceuticals as well, even those prescribed for migraine prevention (BP, Triptans, etc), which I try to avoid. My primary concern revolves around addressing these deficiencies while working within my limitations. I’ve restricted my dietary choices based on histamine content and sensitivities, so I’m seeking guidance on how to manage deficiencies effectively when any sort of intake increases the pain.
Ryan: I was wondering if you could answer some questions about your Detox protocol and intestinal cleanse compared to another brand that a friend recommended to me, ZenCleanz. Do you know anything about their products and how are they different and/or similar to what you offer? I follow Mind Pump and trust the information they put out and the work you are doing. Just looking for clarification on the detox space as I’ve never done one before. Is there more than one way to skin a cat in terms of products and protocols or does your product to something more than say ZenCleanz products do? I’m just confused and want to get a product that’s safe, effective and reasonably priced as there’s a lot of over priced nonsense in the health space these days. Thank you for your time.
Thank you for tuning into today’s Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!
