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:
Sheena: Hi Dr. Cabral! Love you and thank u for all that u do! I’ll try to keep this short as possible.- 5″1, 107 lbs, 44 yo, fit female, possibly in perimenopause, upper/lower body vata, only calves pitta/kaffa, results from Big 5 is yeast and candida overgrowth (Limited CBO recommended), in Adrenal Resist stage, sex hormones low, testosterone is optimal, omega 3 is 10.4, thyroid optimal, cortisol is optimal. – I do orange theory but feeling more depleted, was told to stop for now. – How can I keep my gains if I can’t workout bc of adrenals? – Which body type do I eat for if I’m a mix dosha? – I don’t have weight to lose but could lose some body fat, is that the same? (current bf 24%). – How do I gain muscle and lose body fat for my dosha? – What should my macro split be?Just wanted to add that because I’m at the Adrenal Resistance stage, I was recommended by my coach to do things to help bring energy IN , instead of putting out. I’m just confused with HOW to workout and eat exactly while in perimenopause with adrenal resistant, with mainly vata dosha. It seems my perimenopause is telling me to workout and build muscle but my adrenal resistance is telling me not to. (I sleep 6-7 hours on workdays, and 8-9 hours on weekends). Any help and recommendations will be appreciated!! Thank you much! You’re the best! Thank you!
Suzy: Hi dr. Cabral, I truly appreciate you potcast, it has majorly transformed mine and my family’s health and lifestyle. I have a question about freshly ground ancient wheat flour, is it inflammatory same as modern processed wheat? Or does it even have health benefits for someone who has a well balanced gut and isn’t sensitive to gluten? I know it’s a very controversial topic but I’d like to hear your opinion on it. Thank you for your answer!
Danielle: Hi! I will be trying to conceive in the next 6 months so I’m looking to optimize my health, I recently got my bloodwork done and saw I have high iron levels- I think this might be from using a cast iron regularly. Most prenatal vitamins I’m finding have iron in them. Would you recommend looking for a prenatal without iron? Do you have any brands you recommend? Additionally, is your omega 3s and daily nutritional support safe for pregnancy?
Ronald: Dear Dr. Cabral, I’ve heard that it can take 10-15 years to fully detoxify from years of smoking. Are there any effective ways to accelerate this process? I’m aware that sauna therapy can be beneficial, but are there any more affordable options? Additionally, I’m concerned about the potential for toxin buildup in my liver and bladder, increasing my cancer risk. Could you please provide some advice on how to minimize these risks? I’m a 75 yo male and have smoked since I was a teenager. Thank you for your time and expertise. Sincerely, Ronald
