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: 

 

Alicja: Hello Dr. Cabral, I hope you're doing well. My question is about dental sealants. My kids' dentist recommended them for my 8 yo daughter and I blindly believed it was a good advice. Later he recommended them for my younger daughter, but this time I looked up what are dental sealants and it turns out it is plastic. Since my older daughter has them already (on 4 of her molars) I'm struggling to make a decision which is less of two evils: leaving the sealants because the damage has already been done, or should we have them removed, risking that some plastic will be absorbed by her body during scraping the sealants of her teeth?                                                                                                                                               Holly: Hi! I need help for my 20-year-old daughter. She has been dealing with an issue of having very terrible smelling urine, yet labs show no bladder or kidney infection. She says there's minor discomfort after emptying her bladder. Despite undergoing multiple physical exams and lab tests, everything has come back normal. Her urologist prescribed Solifenacin several months ago, but it hasn't provided any relief. She is staying hydrated, avoiding spicy foods, and has eliminated caffeine from her diet. This issue has persisted for a long time, and it’s affecting her emotionally—she is becoming quite depressed over it. Her health history is that she is highly allergic to cow's milk and peanuts/tree nuts and has had eczema since she was a baby. Any advice is greatly appreciated!                             Kaitlin: I’ve been having tinnitus for the past 4 months. It started out in one ear, then both ears, and then transitioned to full head buzzing. It feels like my brain is attached to an electrical socket. I have also been experiencing extreme anxiety, insomnia, fatigue, and soreness(esp neck). I am a very healthy 31 year old-eat an extremely clean diet and very fit. I did notice my symptoms worsening after switching to methylated vitamins. It also intensifies with heavy lifts & exercise. I did the hair test and it showed elevation in mercury and aluminum and every mineral ratio was out of whack. I also did the OATS test and it showed some depletion of b vitamins as well as low levels of neurotransmitters. I’m not sure where to go from here. I’m scared supps are going to make it worse again.             Riela: My husband has had rather severe problems with vertigo for these past years. It seems to have been triggered by having Covid, and also a period of high stress; but he also had a blow to the head some years ago, and I'm wondering if that may be a cause as well. He's been on Pristiq for some time, and doesn't have as many problems with vertigo now, but he would like to get off it. Anxiety or stress worsens his vertigo. I'd appreciate it if you could help us find a direction, healthwise, that we could go.                                                                                                                                                           Jen: Hello! I enjoy your podcast and it has helped me so much over the years. I have a question regarding contact lenses. It has been reported that most are full of PFAS. I stopped wearing my contacts after wearing them for over 30 years when I heard this. I hate wearing glasses and am wondering if wearing contacts is truly dangerous. I found one brand that claims to be PFAS free (Eiyan), but they don't cover my prescription. In addition to this, most contacts now have UV protection which I am also concerned blocks sunlight signals from entering my eyes, and thus disrupting my circadian rhythm. Could you please share your thoughts on both issues. Thank you!      Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!    - - -

Do you ever feel wired, anxious, or restless at night even when you’re exhausted?     The reason often comes down to catecholamines, the stimulating brain chemicals (dopamine, norepinephrine, and adrenaline) that keep your mind and body in overdrive.     While these neurotransmitters are essential during the day for focus, motivation, and energy, when they remain elevated into the evening, they disrupt your ability to relax, lower stress, and fall into deep sleep.     On today's show I explain the real reason your body struggles to switch off, the lifestyle habits that can push your nervous system into overdrive, and the simple rituals and natural nutrients that can help calm your system, lower nighttime cortisol, and improve sleep quality.     So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3513 to find out how to calm catecholamines for deeper sleep. Enjoy the show and let me know your thoughts.

Does caffeine really give you energy or does it just make you feel like it does through some other mechanism?     On today’s show I want to break down the surprising truth about caffeine and how it actually works in the body.     I’ll detail how coffee, tea, or energy drinks don’t create new energy, but instead block the signals telling your body it’s tired.     So if you’ve ever wondered why your daily coffee habit isn’t fixing your fatigue, or may even be making it worse, tune into today’s Cabral Concept 3512.     Enjoy the show and let me know what you think!

Cellulite and lymphedema can sometimes look similar on the surface…     But they are very different conditions—one is cosmetic and the other medical.     Knowing the difference is key to understanding when lifestyle changes may help and when professional treatment is needed.     In today’s show, I break down what cellulite really is, why it affects nearly 90% of women by midlife, and the main factors that contribute to it. I’ll also explain how lymphedema develops and the warning signs to watch for.     So join me today on Cabral Concept 3511 to learn the important distinctions between cellulite and lymphedema, and why recognizing the difference matters for your long-term health.

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…

 

Chrissy: Hi dr Cabral Is it ok to that estrogel and progesterone for menopause if you have lymphoedema ? Or will it make it worse .. kind regards Chrissy                                                                                                                                                    Kay: Hi Dr. Cabral- What are your thoughts on Metformin combined w Naltrexone topiramate and Vit B12 for Tx of PCOS? My 31 y.o. daughter has tried over the last few years to manage her PCOS w traditional Chinese herbs, acupuncture, yoga & pilates which have only given her limited success. Her HbA1c were in the pre-diabetic range. She lives in the NYC area w a demanding job. Now, working w a Functional Med provider, her tests showed high levels of cortisol throughout the day & hormonal imbalances. Weekend hikes & being near nature on occasion have helped her stress levels as shown by her Oura ring data. After about a month of the Rx regimen, she has noticed an improvement in her HbA1c and has hired a personal trainer. For true, sustainable wellness, what do you recommend?                                       Becky: Hi Dr. Cabral! Thank you for ALL that you do and thank you for using your story to help heal others! I am an IHP2 and need advice. I am working with a client, she is in her mid 30s and she has had horrific breath and overall dryness of her entire body since a child. Her dad and siblings have the same issues along with her oldest daughter. She has tried EVERY imaginable product to fix her breath with zero success. She has done the 21 day detox, & is finishing up the CBO Protocol with H.Pylori & will be starting the Finisher. She did a HTMA last year with someone else but nothing alarming. She is hopeless that her breath can't be fixed. What is your suggestion as to what direction we should go next? She does not drink filtered water, is on birth control & an anti depressant. THANKS!!!!            Kayley: I am 24 yrs old 5'2" 123lbs. I have diagnosed Rheumatoid Arthritis that has severely impacted my life. I currently take Methotrexate, Plaquenil, Folic Acid, and Folinic Acid. I am struggling with debilitating fatigue, and my IBS has recently flared up. Is there anything you would suggest doing to improve energy levels?                               Amanda: Does chiropractic treatment benefit children diagnosed with ADHD?    

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: 

 

Leah: Hi, I was wondering if you know about how to deal with constipation and stuck poop due to tortuous colon. Thank you!                                                                                                                                                                                 Bettina: Dear Dr. Cabral, I’m reaching out regarding my husband, who is 47 years old and experiencing a range of symptoms that we’re hoping to better understand. He has sensitive gums that are gradually receding, and he produces an excessive amount of earwax. He blows his nose daily and often feels tightness and tension in his neck, throat, and upper body. He is gluten intolerant and also reacts to milk sugar and lactose. Additionally, he frequently struggles to fall asleep. While these symptoms may not be directly related, I’d greatly appreciate your insight into any potential underlying connections or contributing factors and ideas to what my husband can do to change this. Thank you very much for your time and expertise.                                                                                                                                                                        Ellen: I have a question about high serum vitamin B12 levels. The normal range on the lab is 232 - 946. I am more than double the high end of the range at 1945. I take a daily multivitamin with with 400 mcg of B12, and take no other B12 supplement. Why is my number so high?                                                                                           Diana: Hi Dr. Cabral, My liver is stressed. Found out I have fatty liver in May, but am already doing everything I should to help reverse it. I’m wondering what you would do in my situation. For background, I have Ehlers Danlos & ME/CFS for 30 years (I’m 42). Have horrible PEM (can’t walk for 5 mins, have to carefully plan all exertion), so can’t exercise. Hypometabolic & blood glucose constantly elevated & spikes with exertion (walking to my kitchen, etc.), but eat healthy & no spikes with food. EBV reactivated 5 years ago & won’t go away. Did Big 5 last year, nothing with liver came up. Have mold toxicity & SIBO, took binders to help. Did CBO protocol, but SIBO & mold won’t go away. Do 21-day detox regularly, take DNS powder 2x per day + almost all supplements suggested in NAFLD podcast.                                                                                                   Allen: I am new to your podcast but saw you are offering the First Labs Program for 50% off labs. Is this all labs like the Big 5, or only certain ones. Can I run all of them? Thanks for all your help and work you are putting out!     Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!    - - -
