HouseCall:
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:
Alicja: Hi Dr.Cabral, Thanks to the knowledge you share I was able to improve my thyroid. I took your courses about thyroid and I listen to your podcast regularly. Last year when I tested my thyroid all the markers were in range, except for anty-TG. Having those antibodies still suggest I have Hashimoto. As you said on the podcast it may just take longer for the antibodies to disappear. I waited another year and retested my thyroid again. All looks good except I still test positive for Hashimoto. The latest test show anty-TG at 4.42 IU/ml, whereas the test year ago showed 9.35IU/ml. So there is a definite decline. My question: should I do nothing about it, because it takes years for the antibodies to disappear? Or the fact that I still have those antibodies for so long indicates a problem?
Alicja: Hi again, I also want to ask you about about two other things that were off my chart. I have very high levels of vit.B12. I don’t supplement with B vitamins, but I take multivitamin daily. Since I saw very high levels of B12 on my bloodwork a couple of years ago, I decreased dosage of my multi and instead of taking a full dose, I take half dose or 2/3. Despite of that my latest test still shows very high and out of range B12 (654 pg/ml) Can this be toxic to my body? Have you ever heard of very high B12 levels indicating a cancer? Second: my prolactin levels are very low. What causes it and how can I correct that? I’m 41 yo, with improving health but still having some hormonal imbalances.
Madison: Hey Stephen! I got a steroid shot in my hip for a sinus infection 6 months ago, and the injection site is a large dimple now that’s about twice the size of a quarter and pretty deep. I assume this is fat atrophy. Is there any way to help this condition? All I’ve read says fat graphs and Botox. Would red light therapy help? Is there a natural cream to stimulate the cells there to regenerate? Should I try like a detox mask on the area with bentonite clay? I need help I’m worried it will keep growing wider and deeper. Thanks for all you do!
Katie: Hello Dr. Cabral! I will always be a big fan and watch you daily! I feel that I have grown as a Nutritionist and have been able to help more people because of you. Keep fighting the good fight, we need you! I was wondering what your thoughts were on zeolite. I just started it and read that it can also remove parasite along with heavy metals. I did the Equi life metals and minerals test, and it showed high on mercury and aluminum. I am also going to do your heavy metal detox but want to do the maintenance with the zeolite. Always appreciate your feedback. Much love!
Mia: Hello! I discovered you on Mindpump and I love how you run all the tests with Sal, Justin and Adam. A few months ago you ran an epigenetics aging test to see what their biological age is. What test did you use with them?
