The Cabral Concept

It's wintertime, and that means cold and flu season.

Many don't know this, but most days when we go out into the world and especially with travel we are exposed to viruses – thankfully, our immune systems are strong and can fight off most invading pathogens.

I also think it is important to fully understand how we get sick in the first place and what measures we can take to help us recover faster if we do get sick.

So on today's #CabralConcept 2903, I want to go over a crash course on how we get sick and how we can stop winter colds in their tracks. Enjoy the show, and feel free to share your thoughts!

Every day we are bombarded with man-made toxins and the clothing we wear is no different.

I have no doubt that many of us have some of these materials in our closet, and it is not my intention to have you throw everything away…

Instead, I want to simply share this information with you so that you can gradually choose cleaner fabrics that lead to less harm to you and the environment.

Join me on today's #CabralConcept 2902, where I share with you the top toxic clothing materials to avoid and what to do instead. Enjoy the show, and feel free to share your thoughts!

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…

Jenna: I experience vivid nightmares when taking melatonin. Why is that and is there any way to avoid it?

Grace: Hi Dr.Cabral, I am 25-year old female I have been taking my basal temperature every morning through Natural Cycles as a natural form of birth control. My temperature is always fluctuating between mid-96 to mid-97 degrees. I learned in level 1 this could be a sign of CNS. I don't believe to have other symptoms of CNS. What tests would you recommend running as well as what symptoms to look for?

Katy: Hi Dr. Cabral - so appreciative of all you do and share! I heard you mention testing for parasites with the stool test, but am wondering are there other ways you can or should test to find them elsewhere in the body? I'm working on figuring out the root cause of my symptoms and am wondering if parasite could be a cause even though it showed up negative in a stool test (done with a separate functional medicine doctor). Also could parasites cause bloating if they are elsewhere (not in the gut) from the body? I have a lot of symptoms but serious bloating being one of them. Lastly, if I am unable to confirm with tests and just do the parasite protocol, would I assume I had parasites if I start to feel some of my symptoms improve? Thank you!

Elizabeth: Hi Dr. Cabral, I recently heard an episode where you answered a question about eczema from swimming in hot tubs. That has been my experience my whole life, whether it's brominated, chlorinated, or salt pools. I've always been a swimmer but had to give it up in my twenties when I finally realized my eczema was getting worse every swim season and would then take a few months to heal, just in time for the new swim season to start. Since quitting swimming I have fully healed, but recently I started drinking goats milk after being mostly dairy free for over 10 years and I got a horrible eczema reaction. My question is this: I read everywhere that goats milk heals eczema, but why do you think it is making mine worse? Could the culprit be my liver & will I ever be able to eat dairy? Thank you!!

Bettina: Dear Dr. Cabral. What are your thoughts on omega 3 oil from Calanus finmarchicus? I've found a product which I am curious to hear your thoughts on. Two pills contains the following: SDA 75 mg, EPA 73 mg, DHA 53 mg, Total omega 3 230 mg, Policosanol 263 mg, Ketolinic acid 29 mg, Astaxanthin 1700 ug and Vitamin D3 10ug. Could this be an alternative to "regular" omega 3 oil supplement? Thank you so much for you time and thoughts on this.

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:

Taran: Hi Dr. Cabral! You are amazing and I truly appreciate your willingness to share your knowledge with the world. I was diagnosed with ichthyosis vulgaris when I was born. I have had very dry skin since birth. It was a lot worse when I was younger. It is much better, however would still be classified as very dry for a normal person. I have to regularly apply moisturizers on my entire body at least 2x daily. Thanks to your recommendation , I discovered my moisturizer was toxic (7 on ewg skin deep) I have 2 questions: 1. Can I do anything from the inside to heal my skin in the long run rather than relying on moisturizers? 2. What is the best for applying topically on skin? Oils? Moisturizers?

Aleisha: Hi Dr Cabral, thank you so much for everything you do and your generosity and energy in this world. I know you don't like to discuss specific brands on the podcast however I was wondering what your thoughts are on the 'recovery' formula from the 'Osmosis Skincare' Wellneas range. It says it can rebuild the fat pads lost with aging, I am 33 however due to a pretty intense health journey I have lost much of the volume in my fat pads and feel I look as if have aged dramatically and am considering giving this a go. The main basis of it is that it contains omegas 3,6,7 &9 from sea buckthorn fruit, oil & pulp and some macadamia oil. It is a very expensive product and the claim is that it takes 3 bottles to see changes and 7 bottles for best results. Is there an alternative to this you recommend?

Anouk: Hi there, Thanks for all the information you give out so generously. in July I tested pos. for ( ureaplasma, gardnerella, and candida alb) I took one round of doxy 7 days and a few months later I caught strep and re-tested for everything I still had the Urea +candida but I took clarithromycin for the strep. Of course all of these antibiotics were screwing up my vaginal microbiome.. I since have had a pap that came back HPV pos. ( LSIL) not sure if it the the stress of all of this but for the past few weeks i've had unbearable lower tailbone butt bone / pelvic floor aching and leg cramping, I can feel my vaginal muscles are almost in a permanent kegel and it's very hard to relax down there. Regardless of the pain i'd really like to do what I can to eradicate ALL of these things!

Glenn: What is the difference between caffeine and caffeine anhydrous as found in pre workout drinks and how bad is thus compound for the body. I've found info online on preworkouts and energy drinks but they all seem to revolve around the sugars/ artificial sweeteners in them rather than the other compounds. I enjoy taking these daily and found one that's pretty clean and devoid of sugars so are these really that bad long term? Thank you

Noel: What is you opinion on cupping therapy? I am not talking about wet cupping but just regular cupping. I am a 67 year old female and like 50 lbs overweight so probably have metabolic syndrome so may be prone to heart issues, stroke. But I am most concerned about my kidneys. A few years back I was diagnosed with kidney failure, GFR was 11! Now it is over 60 for the last several years. I understand if there is toxic removal it would get removed through my kidneys ( and liver) and don't want to overtax my kidneys. I am very active otherwise and don't have any aches and pain anywhere. Would also love to minimize my cellulite.

And on today's show, I want to share with you some ways in which you can improve your HRV and keep your body in the parasympathetic nervous system.

So join me on today's #CabralConcept 2897 where I share with you the 5 "mental ways" you can improve your heart rate variability and reduce stress in your life. Enjoy the show and feel free to share your thoughts!

After the age of 30, your body experiences a gradual decline in collagen.

Join me on today's #CabralConcept 2895 where I go over the 7 big benefits of consuming collagen so you can decide if it's right for you, and feel free to share your thoughts!

They say that life is a marathon and not a sprint.

While I recognize the importance of pacing oneself in certain aspects, I often find that people interpret this advice as having ample time to achieve their goals, which can lead to procrastination.

So today I want to go over how I look at goal setting in hopes that it will inspire you to achieve all you set out to this year.

Join me on today's #CabralConcept 2894 and let's go over how to sprint the marathon of life. Enjoy the show, and feel free to share your thoughts!
