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:
Lorena: Hello! You are truly incredible, I love your work. My question is regarding the adrenals. I am a 25 Vata and currently on stage 5 of adrenal fatigue (ongoing resistance). My tsh is functionally low and so are all my sex hormones (including estrogen). I'm working my way the destress protocol but I just get confused whenever I hear you say "the body is under stress and so it will produce more cortisol". Looking at thyroid for example, I know thyroid is reduced in higher levels of cortisol but in someone that is not producing enough cortisol because the adrenals are exhausted, this doesn't apply right? I guess my question is "can someone be on the fight or flight, if they are on the later stages of adrenal fatigue?". I would assume that since little cortisol is being produced, the body is not stressed and therefore not in the fight or flight? Stefanie: Hi, before my question I wanted to thank you for and your team for all that do everyday. Now to my question, I am 34 yrs old and had my gallbladder removed a few years ago and from time to time I feel similar pain but to a lower level on my right side right under my ribcage. I was told that sometimes I can have stone residue on that duct between my liver and my now removed gallbladder. I have gotten sonogram, mri and nothing comes up. My cbc showed for sometime to have high cholesterol but I managed to bring that down. Currently I do macros with 50 g of fat a day and definitely seen a change in my overall health but I still have this pain. I do strength training 4 times a week and cardio twice a week, 8k steps a day. I also drink a gallon of water a day. I take omega 3, vitamin d, zinc, magnesium, and a multivitamin. How much fat should be consuming and what kind of fats ? I normally eat organic chicken breast, organic ground turkey breast, top round beef (which has lower fat), almonds, evoo cold pressed, avocado, oats, powder peanut butter, cage free eggs, some coffee cream and that's mainly what my fat sources are overall. I rarely eat processed foods, thank you. Yasmin: Would you do a podcast on psoriasis please. How can we cure it? Without having to omit absolutely everything from our diet (which is what I see people do). Is it curable? Have you treated patients with skin problems like this. Anonymous: Hi dr Cabral! I am a wine sales rep and so I have to drink for my job. I love wine but I get hungover off of one glass. Are there ways to support the body during drinking? I only drink a few glasses a week max but I want to make sure I'm staying healthy. Also any tips for preventing the hangover? Thanks! Alison: RE: Hypothryroidism and Hashimotos Is it possible to reverse these two? I see a Dr. at Vanderbilt Univ. Medical Ctr. and he tells me it is not even a possibility. Tina: Thank you for everything you do. I recently did the big five and I am working with a level two practitioner and I am so excited about my journey to wellness. I have a reverse osmosis under the sink water system. I read somewhere that the holding tank under my sink can cause the water to get moldy. So I went ahead and purchased a test kit that I took at home and sent off to the lab and the results came back telling me the below …. I'm not quite sure what to make of this. Is this water harmful to drink? From what I understand all water, from an RO system and even a Berkey will have some type of bacteria in it. The only pure water is distilled. Thank you!!! Total HPC Bacteria 580000 CFU/100ml SLR. Health Effects: Heterotrophic (carbon-consuming) bacteria include a wide range of relatively harmless microorganisms that are commonly present in natural water sources. While HPC is indeed an indicator of overall bacterial presence in your water, it is not a good indicator of health risk since many of these bacteria are not pathogenic, or likely to affect your health. On the other hand, coliform and e.coli bacteria, are well known indicators of pathogenic health risk. Common Sources: Heterotrophs are microorganisms that require organic carbon to grow and reproduce.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!

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…
Laura: Hi! I am such a huge fan of the podcast and it has really made a huge impact on my life. I recently completed the dosha test and found out that I'm Vata: 55 Pitta: 32 Kapha: 13. It took me by surprise because I have always thought that I'm a Vata-Kapha. So considering my constitution, I was wondering if I should just follow a tridoshic diet because most vata foods aggravate my kapha and i end up gaining weight and also my pitta resulting in inflammation. The only issue is I tend to have vitamin and mineral deficiencies so things like eggs and nuts and seeds help out with that. How can I get the nutrients I need through whole food without aggravating my secondary doshas? Also, I seem to gain more weight in my upper body(arms, waist, back, chest) but not my lower body. I have tried resistance training with emphasis on the lower body but I can never seem to gain any weight there. And when I lose weight, my pitta shoulders are very clearly broader than my lower body. It is like my upper body is all pitta and kapha and my lower body is all vata. I want to gain more weight in my lower body to achieve a bit more balance. How can I get my body to be more symmetrical. through exercise or diet ? ps: I am a 25 year old female Becky: Thank you so much for what you. It is truly amazing. I just listened to the episode on "How Your Habits Form Your Future" and I loved it. I'm an IHP L2 Vata mid twenties. You spoke about the importance of cardio and how it benefits your HRV. I do strength training 4x a week and 10k steps daily. I don't really have time to add more cardio on top and I don't want to lose weight. I'm already 90% vegan with the occasional wild salmon so this makes me very prone to catabolism. I take DNS, mag, balanced zinc, omega 3, vitamin d, C, etc. I do however track my HRV with my Oura ring and would love to improve it (currently around 60) so I'm happy to compromise and add cardio if that will improve my HRV. What are your thoughts? Should I perhaps replace my 10k steps with some cardio? And how long should cardio be? Lisa: Hi Dr Cabral, Thank you for answering my question. My partner is in his early 40's, healthy but doesn't exercise much. The past couple of years he started having quite bad anxiety. When anxiety attacks happen, it takes over his whole body and he can't sleep. This will usually last 1-2days, the following 2 days the anxiety goes away, he feels extremely tired, nauseous, hyperactive, hiccups a lot, generally has unsettled stomach and disturbed sleep. He started seeing a therapist and is seeing some progress. However is there anything else we could do to support his body better from a nutritional/medicinal point of view? We tried magnesium for better sleep but he gets upset stomach even with smaller doses. We tried adrenal soothe it didn't seem to work either in terms of keeping him calm (although he didn't take it regularly). Really appreciate your advice! Lisa Terry: I have recently started your 21 day detox. My question is I also take Nexium for acid reflex. What is your advice for weaning myself off of this over the counter medication to start. Amy: I'm a L2 IHP and I'm a little bit confused when it comes to tackling fasting with hyperthyroid clients. If someone is overweight but has low thyroid should they do the 2 days of fasting in the detox? I would assume yes but then isn't fasting detrimental for the thyroid? What about long-term? They are obviously working on the thyroid but should they do 14-16h fasts overnight? And should they workout before or after breakfast? The answer would be yes to someone on a weight loss plan but I think the answer would be no if someone has a low thyroid? Please help with those 3 questions! Thank you so muchThank 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:
Jen: I haven't heard you talk about the supplement Tudca yet. What is your opinion? Alana: Hello doctor Cabral, I've been listening to your podcast for a few years now, and it's one of the constants in my life, so I really wanted to thank you for that. It takes a lot of time and work to record these every single day, and please know that we notice that and appreciate it greatly. I wanted to ask your opinion about something I've been struggling with for a while: fat and cellulite on my belly. I've never had a flat stomach, but it had gotten worse throughout the years. I'm 43 now, have low female hormones, low thyroid and some gut issues. I'm working on all of those things with a naturopath and have done CBO protocol too. I do 30 minutes or strength training and take long walks, 5-6 days of the week. I'm not overweight and have muscle definition both in my upper and lower body, but my belly just keeps growing it seems. Is there anything you would advise for me to do to get rid of the belly fat and cellulite? I'm already taking supplements, prioritise sleep and relaxation and eat to help my hormone balance and hypothyroidism. Anything you could do to help would be much appreciated! Thank you in advance! Alana Jenny: Hi Dr. Cabral - I've been a loyal listener for several years and can't thank you enough for all that you and your team do for this community. It's truly life changing! I see a dermatologist at least annually to check for moles and early skin cancer spots from years of sun damage in my teens and twenties before I knew better. I've had several removed from my face and chest and because more seem to appear as time goes on. Is there a natural "facial peel" you would recommend that may help with these proactively? I know you've talked about a combination of green clay and ACV. I do have sensitive skin with redness. I think a facial peel may be the way to go for me, but am concerned about going to an esthetician due to the chemicals involved, but I'd like to give the skin on my face a fresh start, if that's even possible. I'd love to know your thoughts about this. Thank you. Gina: Thank you for doing what you do and helping others! I am happy to have found your podcast! When I was 19 I was advised by my endocrinologist to take a radio active iodine pill to deplete my thyroid. My thyroid was hyper now hypo because of the treatment. Is there anything I can do to treat it other than being on Synthroid long term since I have nothing to work with anymore since it is no longer there? Thank you! Moez: Hi Dr. Cabral. I hope you are doing well and have an amazing day. I have been seen these bumps or pimples I am not quite sure what to call them. They just look like a raised tissue or a pimple at the end of my tongue where my throat is. I have never felt anything from them whatsoever. No issues at all. However, they've been there for a while now 4 or 5 years or so. It could be more. As far as I remember it's about 5 years when I first seen them. I wonder what they are and what to do about it. There's about 4 of them two on each side. Sometimes they look big sometimes they look pretty small and not as inflamed I am assuming. I am 29 years old Male, pretty I exercise regularly 4-5 times weight lifting. I eat pretty clean mostly organic, grass feed, pasture raised etc. don't have any issues. I used to smoke before for about 10 years then quit 4 years in now. I Don't drink never have never will either. Take my vitamins regularly. Moez: Hi again Dr. Cabral. I also have a breathing issue sometimes. It feels like I am struggling for air, I try to inhale and I just can't get that oxygen that my body needs. In some cases no matter how many times I try to relax myself and inhale I just can't get that oxygen. The air will go down through my throat but I don't feel like I got the Oxygen I need. So I just stop thinking about it and in about a minute or less I'll just breath normal and have that oxygen. I also sometimes have to move my body and be in a certain position to be able to breath and get oxygen. I had this issue since I was a little kid. I am also more of a mouth breather and sometimes sleep with my mouth open and droll as well. The issue feels worsen when I don't eat very clean like cheat day or over eat on a meal. However, even when I am eating the cleanest it is still there but it feels a lot better. It gets better when I fast but not completely gone tho. Even when I did the 4 days fast i still felt it. I am 29 years old. 5'7 245lb. I am in a weight loss journey still. I was 365lb two years ago. I still got a way to go but taking it slowly and healthy. Side note I do plan on running the big fives pretty soon, I am just not sure if they would help with these issues, As I am feeling pretty amazing otherwise.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!
