HouseCall: Sulforaphane & Pets, Mono & Enlarged Liver, Sleep & Depression, Hair Loss & Testosterone, Perimenopause Concerns
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!
Anonymous: Good morning! I was listening to your podcast this morning (#3283) and you mentioned you gave your dog sulforaphane to help extend his life when he had health issues. I want my dog to live forever (I’m only partially joking), so I wanted to know what dosage you used based on body weight and what other dog supplements you recommend. My dog is currently 8 1/2 heeler-aussie-shiba mix in great health (still has the energy of a puppy), where the only thing I notice with him is some benign fatty lipomas. Thanks!
Anonymous: I hope you’re having a wonderful day and thanks for all you do! My latest CT scan showed an enlarged liver with mild steatosis- I eat extremely healthy (and have been for a really long time, I’m only 28 and have only had about 3-4 drinks in the past 7 years)…I think this is stemming from getting mono a year ago (I’ve been feeling sick ever since and have had complications, even thoigh ive been following your viral protocol). Is this possible for mono to cause this? Also is it safe to continue doing functional medicine detoxes with an enlarged liver?
Selma: Hi doctor Cabral, I love your podcast and am very grateful for all your amazing health advice. I hope you can help me with the following: Lack of sleep is a major trigger for me. After a late night, I often feel depressed, angry, and pessimistic. It’s like a dark cloud hangs over me, and I can’t shake the feeling that nothing will ever get better. Thankfully, this always improves after a good night’s sleep. I’m curious if there are any strategies to manage these feelings when those unavoidable sleepless nights happen. Thanks so much and have an amazing day!
Jackie: Hi doc. Question about testosterone. Been on it for 7 years, shot 4 yr , cream to present Originally for hot flashes, worked fabulously, got blood every six months. Question is I took it on the days I trained using cream. When I did it for five days, I started losing hair on head and losing on legs and underarms. Lowered dose hair stops falling on head and stops growing on legs My sgbh went up steady all the years. Doc saying no big deal. Can you shed light on why the hair falls out and legs grow and vice versa L. I really like the strength and less crying. I’m also on small estradiol and progesterone Going to do the big 5 but can’t just yet. In school also at present ! I have gluten and dairy sens and diagnosed Lyme and ebvThank you and I’m very glad I found you and am healing
Rebecca: I think I may have started perimenopause in the last 2 months. I have all of a sudden gained over 20 pounds in a month. I’ve never had a weight problem before and I have tried to take it off and I just can’t. Also, it started the same time I had glycine supplements toxicity. Which I still think since I never detoxed it out of my system it could still be a problem with my weight from what I read. Also, still have the dizzy, vomiting, nausea, anxiety, weight, sex drive dropped, not hungry, and tremors from it too. I’m 51 and wasn’t experimented on by the v***ine. Also, I’ve never done a parasite detox and think I should but never knew which one to use. Would love your thoughts.
