2136: Le Creuset, Improper Dosha Diagnosis, TRS Is Not a Detox, Drooping Eyelids Ptosis, Late Night Workout Meal, Neuron Anatomy (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! 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:  Katie: Hey Dr. Cabral! I know you've reviewed cookware before and I was wondering your thoughts on Le Creuset. They're not "nontoxic" but the stoneware and cast iron seems to be made of good materials. What do you think, and how can we know if pots/pans are made of high-quality, trustworthy materials? Gemma: Hi Dr Cabral. Thanks so much for the wealth of information you provide - it has empowered me to make significant positive changes in my health. I have been told by two different Ayurvedic doctors that I am tridoshic. My own personal take on it (with full awareness that this may not be accurate!) is that I have a vata mind, a pitta voice and heart and a kapha body. Is this possible? And do you have any specific tips for tridoshics to stay in balance? Many thanks. Christine: Hi Dr Cabral, Thank you for everything you do to help the whole world reach their health goals. I have learned so much about myself in terms of my own health and I am so excited to try your 21 day detox. I do have a question regarding the efficacy (and safety) of a heavy metal detox system called TRS detox spray. I did use this a few years ago in myself (for 6 months) and was thinking of trying it on my 5 year old son who is on the spectrum, but I’d love to hear your opinion first! Thanks so much! Marie: Hi Doc! I am always so relieved to have this option of consulting such an amazing expert as yourself. My question is about my eyelids. One of my eyes (left side) sits lower than the other one and is more downturned. I have begun to notice that this increases a lot after a night of drinking alcohol. On those days I can even feel the difference in my eye and the asymmetry is very visible as well. Having researched a little I see that this may be called ptosis and was wondering what the reason might be and what I could do about it? Drinking less alcohol is obviously an option but I am concerned that this may be an indication of something more serious. Thank you for your help! Marie Mary: I am addicted to your podcast! YOU are awesome. Thank you for all that you do. I have swim team Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8:20-9:20pm (only time we can get pool time). I don't know what to do regarding post w.o. nutrition and sleep. I get home around 10:30pm. That's quite late to eat and still get to bed at a decent hour if i'm waiting 2-3 hours after i eat to go to bed for ease of digestion and good sleep. Is it best not to eat and go to sleep at a decent hour or is it best to eat some soup or broth (something easy to digest)? Is there something i can consume and go to bed about an hour later? I considered a smoothie but i put both fruits and veggies in my smoothie for taste purposes and that probably has too much sugar in it before bed? Please advise. Thank you! Dhanvi: Respected sir I am Dhanvi and I am 15 years old I love your podcast now I want to ask you some doubts 1. If due the stimulus an electrical impulse is created how can something like electricity travel from one neuron to thousand neuron without any loss of energy just with the help of chemicals called neurotransmitter 2.I actually know how sensory receptor in the ear creates an impulse but not sure how it carries the information when someone teaches someone something 3. We studied control and coordination chapter this year but despite this I am still not able to understand how an organ like brain can do amazing process called thinking how does it think !
