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:

Lindsey: hi dr. cabral – i have had what seems to be kidney pain for years. i only get relief when my spouse does really deep tissue massages on my lower back. after, my stomach makes gurgling noises and it ends up being gas. ive gone 1 time to a gastro for this and they said it’s not my kidneys but inflamed intestines appearing as kidney pain. can you please point me in the right way ?

Katherine: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thank you for all u do! You are my “benchmark” in the health world. Wondering what you would recommend a member of your family if this happened to them. Summer 2022 I had a really bad kidney stone that landed me in the hospital. I passed it. Since then I had about 4 more instances of kidney stones (but not as severe-was able to take some meds to ease the pain until it passed). Recently I went for a CT Scan and it showed my left Ureter dilated. The Urologist suggested another CT scan with dye or a to putna camera in and see if something is there causing a blockage or a tumor. Curious what I can do to be more proactive.

Tina: Love your show 🙂 what is the best alternative to a mammogram? Thermal imaging anything you can recommend please I do not want to go for a mammogram. I’ve read other women with mast cell activation having breast cancer. Also, really trying hard to get rid of mast cell activation. Is cancer is a sign of mast cell activation ? Alma powder will it help mast cell activation? Alma powder better then berberine? Been researching alternatives to semaglutitde with myself having insulin resistance type 1 diabetes I am full plant based no fat no sugar no salt Please need help

Olivea: Dr. Cabral, The information you provide is wonderful. I just listened to your podcast ‘why not fast until lunch’ I have never been a huge proponent of fasting for myself simply because of my schedule. Curious what you would recommend for my schedule in regards to fasting and overall health – I try to eat dinner around 6:30/7pm each night. I wake up at 4:45 for the gym – I typically eat an apple on my way to the gym (I go to CrossFit) – my workout is an hour (starting at 5:15am) and then I have 1 egg + some egg whites around 7am, I then make myself a smoothie with water, fruit, and almond milk and take it to work with me and it usually takes me a few hours to drink it. I guess more of what I am asking is – someone who has morning workouts – what do you recommend for fasting?
