What if your fatigue, brain fog, and low mood weren't random symptoms, but clues pointing to deeper root-cause imbalances? On today's Unsolved Health Mystery Case, I sit down with Nida, a 40-year-old woman struggling with multiple autoimmune conditions, including Hashimoto's and Sjögren's syndrome. Together, we review her Stress, Mood & Metabolism lab to uncover why her thyroid, hormones, and energy are out of sync. We'll discuss how chronic stress, gut imbalances, and heavy metals can trigger autoimmunity and how restoring cortisol balance, optimizing vitamin D, and supporting detox pathways can help the body heal naturally. Join me on today's Cabral Concept 3560 to learn how to identify hidden hormone and immune imbalances, rebalance your system, and finally move from exhaustion to energy on this week's unsolved health mystery case. Enjoy the show!

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…

Lynette: I have Celiac Disease and worry about cross-contamination when eating at restaurants or friends' homes. People have suggested taking a gluten digestive enzyme, but I don't want to digest gluten. Is there anything I can take prior to eating that would rid my body of gluten, should I unknowingly come into contact with it? I'm a "silent celiac" so don't experience immediate GI upset, but instead suffer joint pain, headaches, and skin issues afterward. Living gluten-free out in the world is tough, so any suggestions to make things easier and safer are appreciated. Thanks! Anonymous: I received a complimentary bottle of CBD Gummies -- thanks! Are there any contraindications with taking them? I'm thinking about them for my older parents, who are on the typical American old-age pharmaceuticals, including high blood pressure medication, statins, and Gabapentin. Will the gummies help with general aches and pains? Thank you. Sarah: I did labs through Equilife and found that my testosterone and DHEA were significantly low. For reference, I am a 49 year-old perimenopausal female. I started using about 8 mg of DHEA orally daily. (at that point I had 25 mg capsules I was splitting) Within three days of starting I had some longer lasting cystic acne on my face starting to appear. I gave it a few weeks to resolve and then began 25 mg of 7 keto DHEA daily and have had no acne breakouts at all. On my call with my IHP through Equilife to follow up from the labs, I was told that 7 keto DHEA is the same as regular DHEA and is likely just a marketing tool. Can you tell me why I reacted significantly different to the 7 keto DHEA? Several companies, some quite reputable sell it, do you recommend it in my case? Anonymous: Hello, I appreciate the work you do, and would like your input to help me make a purchasing decision. I wanted to buy some Japanese selvedge jeans and notice they contain 2% Polyurethane. I had difficulty establishing whether the use of Polyurethane in clothing is harmful and wanted to know if you could direct me to resources which could provide me with more insight on this topic? Please let me know. Anonymous: I struggle with brain fog and low energy in the afternoons, even though I get enough sleep. Could this be related to blood sugar balance, and if so, what are some easy ways to stabilize it throughout the day?

Thank you for tuning into this weekend's Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right!

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:

Sami: Hi Dr. Cabral! I'm currently in level 1 IHP certification program right now and loving everything so far. I'm even going to try the 14 day detox soon. Anyways my question pertains to myself that I've been struggling with for a bit. I'm a 24 year old female who lives a pretty healthy lifestyle but the one things I can't seem to figure out is why my face turns bright red and I get a hot flashes when I speak to people about 60% of the time. It happens at random times and with random convos. Is this something happening internally that could be causing this? Any recommendations?? Matt: Hey Dr. C! I have pretty good oral health. I use a tongue scraper, floss, FYGG toothpaste and I brush 2x a day. I also use their oral breath mints. However, my wife still tells me that my breath smells bad. Obviously, I don't want this. Lol. I don't want to use conventional toothpaste/mouthwash since there's a lot of chemicals in there. Would love to hear your take on this. Thanks for being the man the myth and the legend! -Matt Della: My right foot has been extremely dry for the past couple of years. Left foot, Normal, no dryness whatsoever. What could possibly be the reason? Help! Rachel: My teenage daughter has been struggling with acne, and we've tried multiple topical treatments with limited results. Could diet or gut health be playing a role, and if so, where should we start? 10/2 Yvonne: My cholesterol labs have increased from previously: total cholesterol is now 6.44 (Normal range: below (Normal range: below <3.50 mmol/L)? Non High Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol is 4.23 (Normal range: below (take natural dessicated thyroid) and pre-diabetic - generally A1C hovers between 5.9 and 6.

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…

Scott: Hello Dr. Cabral! I've been dealing with persistent brain fog and low motivation, especially in the mornings. I sleep 7–8 hours but still wake up groggy. What tests or protocols do you recommend to pinpoint the root causes and improve mental clarity naturally? Nela: Hi Dr. Cabral, I recently came across information on a treatment called Inuspheresis, which is described as a blood purification technology that filters out inflammatory proteins, environmental toxins and other harmful molecules. The materials I reviewed suggest it may benefit a wide range of conditions, including: - Chronic inflammatory disorders - Autoimmune diseases - Degenerative conditions Since I haven't heard you mention this treatment on your podcasts, I wanted to ask: 1. What is your opinion on the efficacy of Inuspheresis for the conditions listed 2. What do you see as the potential pros and cons of this therapy? I'd really value your knowledge and perspective! Thank you :) John: Good day Dr. Cabral, I've been experimenting with cold exposure (ice baths, cold showers) to improve recovery and immunity. I've noticed a boost in energy but sometimes feel overly stimulated afterwards. How do you recommend people safely use cold exposure for health benefits without stressing the body? Jenna: Hi Dr. Cabral- I have a question about my 8 year old son. He has struggled with emotional regulation, big emotions, anxiety for a while. School was a struggle for him, he doesn't like to be away from me and he has anxiety about school work. We had him tested for ADHD, anxiety, Autism etc.. and they said he mostly just had anxiety. I don't want to give him medication but someone suggested methylfolate. I have started giving him this and it was REALLY helped! I was wondering if you could dive into why this worked and if you think it was a good idea. Thanks! Fatima: Hi Dr. Cabral! I've struggled with seasonal depression for years and usually need extra support during the fall and winter. Besides vitamin D, are there other nutrients, lab tests, or lifestyle changes you recommend for balancing mood with the seasons?

Thank you for tuning into this weekend's Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right!
