HouseCall: GLPs & Detox, Testing While on GLP, Traditional vs Infrared Sauna, Root Cause of Bipolar Disorder, Blue Zones Diet

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!

Tricia: Hi Dr Cabral – after struggling with this decision for over a year I have finally given in to trying a GLP. Yes, I’m nervous but I honestly have lost all hope as I’ve tried everything, and my willpower continues to fail me. Can I ask while on a GLP can we still perform quarterly detoxes? Also, would you recommend your hair support or thyroid supplement while on this medication? Thank you so much for all your support and guidance.

Tricia: Hi Dr Cabral – sorry me again. I forgot to ask you do you think I should do regular testing on my thyroid and other markers every few months while I’m on the GLP? If I see any markers sliding the wrong way I will immediately stop the drug. How do you support your patients that are on a GLIP? Thank you!!!

Danny: Hi Dr. Cabral, I have access to both a traditional and infrared sauna. What is the idea number of times that I should have in both per week? Thank you!

Amanda: Hi Dr. Cabral. Thank you so much for your dedication to helping so many people. You are a blessing to our family for sure! My question is about bipolar disorder. I would love to hear your thoughts on it as far as root causes and also what can help correct the imbalance or even help it. I also was researching protein kinase c in relation to bi polar disorder and also the role/benefit of lithium in relation to that. It was something I came across while researching. Sometimes I wonder if certain prescription medications for bi polar cause more harm than good in the long term. My husband has generalized anxiety and depression and also bipolar. He is on medication for all. Have you seen people be able to get off meds? Any hope you can offer is so appreciated. Thank you.

Lily: Hi Dr. Cabral, I recently read a book about the blue zones. I have two questions about it. 1. The book mentioned that most people in the blue zones eat a diet of about 95% vegetarian. Would you agree that this is probably the healthiest diet for most people? 2. The book also mentioned that people eat a lot of tofu. Is this a healthy choice? I have heard conflicting things because of the soy content. Thank you!!
