The Cabral Concept

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:

Tina: Hi Dr. Cabral, thanks for all you do. You really are fantastic! I'm 51, and my mother is 82. She is suffering from very painful osteoarthritis and doing most of the recommended things without relief. I'm constantly doing research to try to help her and also stave this off for myself in the future. There seem to be studies showing that 120 mg of hyaluronic acid is helpful for osteoarthritis, I am taking your proteolytic enzymes and Inflammasoothe, but I'm considering replacing my standard collagen supplement and the HA supplement with your advanced collagen support. I know you can't give medical advice, but can you explain why advanced collagen support may work just as well or better than a standard, cheaper, hydrolyzed collagen plus an HA supplement with a higher dose of HA? Thank you! Bryan: Hi Dr. Cabral. Wanted to know if you had an opinion on the RingConn sleep device. I know you use the Oura ring for sleep tracking and speak highly of it but I don't think I've ever heard you mention this device. I like the fact that there's no subscription required but wonder how it fares in terms of accuracy. Is it on par with the Oura do you think? Just curious. Best, Bryan: Hi Dr. Cabral, Have you ever heard of or tried magnetic sleep pads? I came across one company recently which has been around for a number of years. Just wondering if there was any real science behind the whole idea of magnetism and sleep. As someone who suffers from insomnia (kind of of) I'm always on the lookout for ways to improve my quality of sleep and wanted to get your thoughts. Ever tried one before? Best, Emily: Hi dr Cabral, I am hoping to get your expertise on Epstein Barr virus and supporting our children for prevention of EBV. I personally had mono as a teenager and in my 30s now I had an EBV flare up again, I am working with a functional provider to clear this. How can I support my children to not get EBV or if they get how do we support to tackle clearing it right away? Thank you Jen: Thanks for your continuous education and resources you provide on this podcast. I listened to a podcast where you briefly mentioned that a patient of yours was using the Ozone machine from Therasage to get rid of stubborn toenail fungus. My husband has had this problem for over 40 years and all his toe nails have the fungus. I was wondering if your patient was able to get rid of the fungus with just the Therasage ozone machine or do you recommend any additional remedies? Thanks for all you do! 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! - - -

Your weight loss journey doesn't have to be complicated, restrictive, or built around the latest trends. Often, the strategies that create the biggest transformations are the simple, consistent habits that have stood the test of time. On today's show, I discuss why sustainable weight loss comes down to mastering the fundamentals and focusing on the practices that support your metabolism, hormones, and overall health. We'll explore why so many people struggle to maintain results, the importance of creating a strong foundation, and how small daily actions can lead to lasting changes in your body. I'll also share why consistency, patience, and focusing on long-term progress matter more than quick fixes or extreme approaches. So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3820 to discover the boring weight loss methods behind successful weight loss and how to create results that last. Enjoy the show, and let me know your thoughts!

Your bedroom is where your body and brain spend about 1/3rd of your day resting, repairing, and recovering, but many people may be unaware how much exposure to Wi-Fi and electromagnetic fields (EMFs) can come from the devices surrounding them. On today's show, I dive into how to create a more supportive sleep environment by reducing unnecessary EMF exposure and why your bedroom is the most important place to start. We'll explore practical strategies for creating a more supportive sleep environment and the everyday habits that may be impacting your nighttime exposure. I'll also discuss some of the latest approaches people are using to further optimize their bedrooms and create a space designed to support better rest and recovery. So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3819 to discover how to shield your bedroom from Wi-Fi and EMFs and create a healthier environment to support deeper, more restorative sleep. Enjoy the show, and let me know 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…

Becca: Hi Dr. Cabral! My husband is challenged by a "cobalt conundrum". Several years back he was overexposed to wet cement, spending hours mixing it with his hands. (Big mistake) Shortly after he developed a severe body rash along with painful cramps and diarrhea. After many tests, they found an allergy to cobalt via a skin test, and we assume it relates to the cement mixing incident. Severely limiting cobalt both topically and in diet has helped, but he still struggles with GI issues. Functional medicine tests showed leaky gut. He attempted treatment but even one basic supplement (dairy free igg) caused severe stomach issues. Meanwhile he's missing vital nutrients from avoiding b12 (cobalt) etc. How can he address leaky gut and allergies when he's so sensitive to treatments? Signed, Your Fan Ally: Hi Dr. Cabral, I am a new Level 2 graduate and I have a new client who is 20-years old with a history of anorexia. she is 5-years post treatment. She complains of bloating, constipation, and just having trouble eating. She is of normal weight, and is looking for relief. I was thinking of doing the Big 3 labs and the CBO protocol.. Any recommendations would be very appreciated. I do not want to recommend the wrong plan of care for her. Warmest regards, Ally :) Tommy: Hey Dr. C, I'm an IHP, 36. Had a birth defect, 3 operations by the age of 8 including tonsillectomy. Sleep issues began at 9, insomnia by 12, eczema, fainting, 14 years of steroid creams and thousands of antibiotics. I've got high heavy metals and Citrabacter freundi. I can't tolerate any protocols even at a lower dose, they make my existing problems worse. On days where I train intensely I struggle to shut off. I feel like my body is always stuck in a low level of stress. I've cut down my training a lot but I'm not sure what else I can do. I'm tolerating zinc Carnosine which helps but I still always have red skin on my face. Still struggle to tolerate stress. If only I could do a heavy metal protocol. Sarah: Hi! Hope you are well and love tuning in daily to learn from you! I have been trying to heal leaky gut and chronic hives for over a decade now. Because I am very reactive I stop and start a lot. However, I recently gave in and started a low dose prednisone and over a couple weeks lost 10lbs of inflammation, hives gone, that I couldn't break with any diet (restriction), exercise etc. I would like to do some testing and do the CBO protocol as this started after antibiotics. My question is, will this skew the results of cortisol/A1C and will it be okay to continue on to keep symptoms calm while getting to the root and going through some protocols? Thanks! (BTW) I have tried all the natural stabilizers and didn't help calm symptoms. (Quercetin, Vit C, Mag, etc) Sienna: Hi Dr. Cabral, this is a follow up to my question on 3782 re testing for perimenopause please. Thank you for your guidance and if I could run EL labs I would. I have NO access to Saliva Testing in my country (and EL don't ship here). So I know about SMM & Fertility Labs but can't run them so I am *specifically* asking IF estrogen & progesterone tested by an endocrinologist (BLOOD) have ANY value as a way to look at levels? LH, FSH & AMH are great as I can get these from bloods, can you please provide the healthy ranges vs. perimenopause? Would really appreciate it as this is the only option I have to look deeper & PCP here don't have a functional approach so really value your guidance on anything you can share to help me support my body. Thank-you, Sienna

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:

Lauren: Hi Dr. Cabral, Awhile back, I learned about Manuka honey from your show- and I wanted to thank you! It's become one of my favorite treats. I wanted to ask you about Greek yogurt. Is it good for us? Is it okay to eat every day? I love adding a little manuka and blueberries to it. Its been my daily treat but I wasn't sure if it causes inflammation like other dairy products. Thank you!! Eliza: Hi Dr. Cabral, I'm having nausea and vomiting 5–10 minutes after eating, mainly after lunch and dinner, rarely breakfast. I've also had weight loss, fatigue, stomach pain after eating, and alternating diarrhea and constipation. All tests have been normal: gallbladder/pancreas ultrasound, HIDA scan, gastric emptying test, CT scan, H. pylori stool and breath tests, allergy panel, endoscopy with clear duodenal biopsies, stool testing for IBD/IBS markers, bloodwork, autoimmune testing, white blood cell count/cancer screening labs, and tryptase testing before and 1–2 hours after vomiting. What root causes would you look at next? MohMed: Good day dr.cabral. I find myself and my father in a difficult position. Not asking for medical advice. But if someone you knew had a mass on their liver.. with elevated enzymes 200+ AST and ALT. What kind of diet would you recommend. Ex. Broccoli sprouts for sulforphane. Can you give a sample meal plan (breakfast lunch dinner) Secondarily, what helps NK and T cells? Currently he's on Omega 3 support, D3/K2.. and drinking matcha green tea organic. Asymptomatic.. thanks doc. Your the best! Looking to try Hope4Cancer. Saw your recommendation. I trust them solely because of your video/recap a few months back Chelsea: Hello Dr Cabral. I appreciate you and all your knowledge. I have some questions about passing out.. first time I passed out I was 8 from heat and elevation. Since then now I am 34 I have passed out about 9 or 10 times. They usually relate to heat/elevation or being sick. About 3 of the times I had passed out and had seizure like symptoms. I stop breathing and shake. I am unsure why this happens and was never able to figure out what it is or what's causing it. I have Gilbert's syndrome and hashimotos but has been in a calm state. I do have gut issues and wondering what could be the underlying cause of these episodes even though they don't happen all that often. Thank you so much! Donna: Hi Dr Cabral. I have normal morning bowel movements for 3 or 4 days then have an irregular morning. Those mornings, I'm in and out of the bathroom every 15 or so minutes for 2-3 hours. My stool starts off normal and by the end is a mushy consistency. I get bloated during but that's the only symptom. My gastro dr says it constipation. I take a probiotic, eat plenty of fruits and veggies, get my fiber in, drink 70-80oz of water and walk daily. This has been going on for months now and nothing seems to be helping. Thanks in advance! 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! - - -

Many people think of fiber as something that simply supports digestion, but emerging research suggests it may play a much bigger role in protecting long-term health. On today's show, I dive into the science behind dietary fiber and explore how it may help support immune function, reduce inflammation, promote a healthier gut microbiome, and even improve outcomes in certain types of cancer. You'll learn why higher fiber intake has been associated with better survival outcomes in breast cancer research, how fiber supports a healthier gut environment and immune function, and why studies suggest adequate fiber intake may play a role in reducing cancer risk and supporting overall health. I'll also share practical recommendations for increasing your fiber intake safely, what to do if fiber causes digestive discomfort, and simple strategies to help you reach optimal daily fiber goals. Tune into today's Cabral Concept 3814 to discover why fiber may be one of the most overlooked nutrients for supporting longevity, metabolic health, and overall wellness. Enjoy the show, and let me know your thoughts!
