HouseCall: Root Cause of Hair Loss, Snapping Elbow, Which Lab to Start With, Taking Mg and Zn Together, Bunions, Idiopathic Thrombocytopenia
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!
Erica: Hi Dr. Cabral. I wanted to ask about hair loss. I have a female friend in her 30s who is starting to wake up with a lot of hair on her pillow and on her bed after sleeping. Where would you start to look for the underlying root causes of this? Thank you.
Patrick: Hey dr. Huge fan thanks so much for all you and your team do. I have another elbow question for you I went And got an X-ray and it showed some ostiophytes and I have snapping elbow which is affecting my rom Ofcorse all they said was cortisone shot and pills . I’m very active and enjoy exercising so I’d love to know the best therapy and supplements to do. Thanks
Montas: Hi Dr Cabral, Thank so much for this life saving information you provide in order to take our health. For the past 5 years, I have been suffering a lot with back pain, joint pain, and all part of my body. I went from doctor to doctor, they can’t really help me and it’s obvious because they didn’t train to go to the root cause of a symptomatic disease. I have been diagnosed with TB and spent 6 months for the treatment but after 1 year this left me with more diseases. I sweat a lot night and day, I have noise in my stomach eating or not, I strangely lose pounds instead of gaining. What’s the first lab test you would recommend me to do to? I can’t afford big 5. Thank you!
Lara: Hi, dr. Cabral.. I’m wondering if any of the following contradicting information is true: you have to be taking Mg and Zn together for better absorption and the other is, don’t take them together because Zn can block Mg absorption.. I found the same for Iron and Calcium – that they should be taken 4h away from Mg so they don’t block its absorption.. please clarify, so we know how to properly take these supplements.. thank you so much! happy healing, everyone!
An: hi Dr. Cabral thank you for all you do. I have a quick question now that I’m 70 I have bunions that are starting to bother me. I’ve had them for years but now that I’m heavy into pickleball they’re starting to hurt. I see noninvasive bunion fixes and I’m just wondering what your thoughts are on those are they worth it or is that just a scam?
Audrey: Hello! Appreciate all of your insight – you are a wealth of knowledge! I’m a 32 year old that has had idiopathic thrombocytopenia since I had my child 5 years ago. Just wondering what labs you recommend for this and how to improve the numbers. Thanks!
