Heart disease often develops silently for decades before symptoms ever appear, which is why early detection can be one of the most powerful tools for protecting long-term health and longevity. On today's show, I break down the Coronary Artery Calcium (CAC) Score, also known as the Agatston Score, and why it may be one of the most important cardiovascular screening tools for adults over 40. We'll explore what this scan measures, how the scoring system works, and what different score ranges may reveal about your future heart disease risk. I'll also explain the limitations of the test, why plaque buildup can begin long before symptoms arise, and how lifestyle, inflammation, blood sugar balance, and other health markers all play a role in cardiovascular health. Most importantly, you'll learn why prevention and early awareness matter so much, and how foundational health habits may help support long-term heart health and healthy aging. So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3772 as we take a closer look at the CAC Score and what it may reveal about your cardiovascular health and longevity.

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…

Bernice: Hi Doc, First, thank you so much for your podcast. I absolutely love it! My favorite day is Friday. I always enjoy hearing about the research and new products. I learned about psyllium husk on your podcast and I have been taking it every day. I wanted to ask you about Zen Basil. Is this something that we should also consider taking as well as a fiber source? It looks like there are 15 grams per serving! Thanks so much!! Bernice Genel: Hi Dr. Cabral, thank you for your work. About 5 years ago I had tuberculosis and long-term treatment. Since then I've had ongoing issues: persistent joint pain and unstable weight. I struggle to gain weight and often lose it without clear reason. Recent labs showed elevated rheumatoid factor (147.6 IU/mL), high ESR (38), and slightly low hemoglobin, suggesting inflammation or rheumatoid arthritis. I currently take DNS, Omega-3, and D3. What additional supplements could help lower inflammation and support recovery? I live outside the US and can order supplements, but EquiLife support said lab results cannot be processed from my country. I don't want to make the detox cause I don't want to lose the little weight I have. What protocol can I follow? Thank you again for your guidance. Katherine: Hi Doc. Thank you for all you do in helping all of us. I was looking into get a vibration plate and was wondering which one you would recommend. To date, I didn't find one on your resource page or previous podcast. Would you consider recommending one in the future? Thank you! Eli: Hi, Dr. Cabral, I feel like I can't get ahold of my appetite, both behaviorally and physiologically. I also deal with a huge amount of food noise. I notice when I eat a large breakfast, say from a restaurant, I can go basically the entire day without eating. Is it OK to flip meals - dinner for breakfast, regular lunch, and breakfast for dinner? Are there any studies or positive impacts of doing so? Why don't more health professionals talk about this type of practice? It seems as if it would be good for people. I'm desperate to try anything for my appetite and food noise problem. Thank you so much for answering my question! Sheena: Hi Dr. C! hope you and your team are well. I'm a 46 year old female experiencing peri-menopause symptoms. My endocrinologist prescribed me birth control pills to help alleviate some of the symptoms which helped for about 8 mths only but now I'm considering HRT. I purchased the Big 5 and want to know if I need to come off BCP for accurate results? If so, how long should I be off before testing? If not, will I need to notify labs in advance? If I'm on HRT, will my results be accurate for Stress Mood test? And my last question, when doing the Detox, am I allowed to take herbal tinctures? (I take tintures daily to support my adrenals and liver). Will that cancel out the effectiveness of the FM and AYU pills? Thx in advance! You are the BEST!

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:

Amy: Hi Dr. Cabral. Thank you for all you do every day! I have learned so much from you and really appreciate your help. My children's school right next to a cell tower (it sits in the middle of their playground). Is there anything I can do to protect them from the high levels of radiation they are getting on a daily basis? I have looked into wearable EMF protection but am not sure if any actually work. Do you have a recommendation? Is there anything I can be doing to help my children's bodies prepare for these high levels on a daily basis? Kelly: Love your podcast and your willingness of your time to help all of us! I did a 21 day detox in Nov then did an OATS test, had a lot of overgrowth & started CBO protocol Jan. 27. From the beginning, I started struggling with anxiety & insomnia. Middle of month 2 had to stop protocol due to waking up 2-4 am in panic and not able to get back to sleep. My sleep came back on line & I started protocol again very slowly, had to stop florafilm but continued with other 2. It wasn't long before the insomnia and anxiety started again. Eventually had to stop again. Have been off protocol 19 days but no improvement in insomnia & anxiety. At a loss of what to try next -even tried sleeping pills. Also no idea how i will ever feel comfy enough to restart cbo protocol after all this. Help pls!! Nibal: Goodmorning Dr, Im nibal from.lebanon and its a pleasure to follow you. I need to know more about fighting candida protocol if thats possible please. Thank you, With regards Mohamed: Hey dr.cabral, been listening to your podcast for a few years now. Thanks for all your quality info and product at Equilife. I work in healthcare, I constantly have to use hand sanitizer. I'm sure it's not just alcohol in there. What can I do to mitigate this. Really health conscious, I take DNS, Omega 3 support, Vit D3/K2. Extra Vit C.. I also occasionally use taurine. Is there a healthy alternative? For hand sanitizer or is there a cream I can use on my hands to blunt the absorption. What are your thoughts? Thanks Mary: Hi SC! Ive been a daily listener for years. Thank you for your sinceriety and the education you share. 1) Whats your opinion on plasma pen treatments and sofwave treatments for collogen production (specifically jowels and 'turkey neck')? A while back you answered a question regarding collogen treatments and said you were ok w most but there was one that involved a heat based treatment you were not a fan of...i couldnt catch which one that was. 2) Will you please explain what happens when we put plastic in the dishwasher? I know we are not supposed to and i'm curious what happens. Do microplastics contaminate other dishes in the dishwasher or what happens? oh also, any thoughts on procell therapy? 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! - - -

There are a lot of detox strategies discussed in the health and wellness space, but few are as debated, or as misunderstood, as coffee enemas. Today, I want to break down what they are, how they're used, and why they've remained part of certain integrative protocols for so long. I'll walk through how this practice is used, why it has remained part of functional and integrative medicine approaches over time, and what makes it different from other detox strategies. Most importantly, you'll learn why this tool is not meant for everyone or for daily use, and how it fits into a broader approach that prioritizes balance, preparation, and foundational health habits. So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3765 as we take a closer look at coffee enemas, how they're used, and where they may, or may not, fit into a modern wellness routine. Enjoy the show!

Fruit is often misunderstood when it comes to weight loss, with many people being told to avoid it altogether in order to see better results. On today's show, I break down why that belief may not be as accurate as it seems and how fruit can actually fit into a healthy, balanced approach to body composition and long-term wellness. We'll explore how fruit supports the body through fiber, water content, antioxidants, and nutrient density, and why these factors play a much bigger role in satiety and metabolic health than most people realize. Most importantly, you'll learn how to think more strategically about incorporating fruit into your diet so you can support energy, appetite control, and overall wellness without unnecessary restriction. So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3764 as we take a closer look at how fruit fits into a smarter, more sustainable approach to weight loss and wellness.
