2655: Making Small Changes, Panuveitis, Bad Acne, Liver Support, Unsweetened DNS (HouseCall)

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…   Brandy: Hi! I have recently become a huge fan and I am thinking about becoming certified in your program. My question is about my father. He had a severe reaction to the yellow fever vacc several years ago and it caused brain swelling that took doctors months to figure out. He then was put on high levels of steroids, which then lead to Diabetes. Knowing what I know now, I think he has parasites (from all of his crazy travel places), h-pylori, Candida, SIBO all while getting sick constantly and taking forever to get over it. He won’t change his diet but has recently made some changes in taking Omega 3’s, CQ10 and NAC (this is huge progress) What would be a low hanging fruit (other than diet) that I could make him a believer in functional medicine that could spark some changes in him moving forward. I am sure taking the Big 5 would be the best place to start, however, I need to start very small. I am hoping for a suggestion for a supplement or something to that nature that people tend to see noticeable improvements from. Something like Zinc Picolinate or something that may help with blood sugar, blood pressure, mitochondrial function etc. Again, thank you in advance.   Demetria: Hi, I have been dx with PanUvitis. The doc says my vessels in my eye are leaking ingredients, so I have blurry vision. This started showing up about 4 years ago. Have you dealt with this type of issue? The doc says I have a autoimmune issue that is causing this, but is unable to give me answers to what it is, even after boold work.   Heather: Hi Doctor Cabral, Thanks as always for all you do! I’m a little confused about my acne situation. I used to have really bad acne as a teenager, went on birth control for it which cleared it up, then got off birth control two years ago and my skin was clear for about nine months. I started getting a little acne here and there, mostly bumps and blackheads around my chin and jawline, on my right side of my face specifically, that turned into under the skin zits. I then did the 7-day detox followed by the CBO Protocol and heavy metal detox while incorporating Equi.Life hormone supplements. After all that, now my chin and jaw acne is now on the left side of my face instead of the right side. I feel a bit helpless, would love some help here :)   Sarah: I recently got results from a hormone test - estrogen, progesterone and testosterone are all very low. Cortisol is through the roof all day long. Liver isn't detoxifying as it should, which is suspected why I'm not able to produce enough hormones. Any tips on how to support my liver? I weight train 5x a week and am active. Eat a wide variety of whole foods and fibre daily, hit my macros. No alcohol or smoking. I've supplemented with lglutamine for years, tried milk thistle etc but remained the same. Main symptoms - acne, hair loss, lethargic and low energy, brain fog   Whit: Would you /have you ever considered making an unsweetened DNS powder ? I love making a smoothie with the DNS and berries but it is just way sweet for me if I add any fruit at all to the DNS even if the lowest sugar berries. Would love to be able to sweeten the smoothie with whole fruit alone. I tried adding things like cranberry and pomegranate powder to give it more tart flavor to offset the sweet and also tried adding salt but it’s still too sweet for me. Maybe I’m the only weird one with this issue ?
