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…
Let's get started!
Simon: Hi Dr Cabral, I am looking to improve my immune defenses against a 'certain virus' and am concerned that my white blood cell count is sub-optimal (4,000/ul) despite my otherwise good health. I suspect this may be a hangover from having VERY low WBC levels after contracting dengue fever 5 years ago. Is increasing my WBC something I should be exploring and what can I do to get my count up? Lorena: Thank you so much for all you do for your community! Not sure if you remember but I asked here a few weeks ago regarding my elevated heart rate at night according to my Oura ring and that I started to experience a lot of neurological symptoms (similar to MCAS) such as anxiety, heart palpitations and pseudoseizures at the same time. You mentioned that I should check my cortisol levels at night (which I did and was slightly elevated in the PM and low in the AM). I'm a Vata level 1 and 2 IHP so I literally ran all of the labs that you can imagine as I was very confused as to what was going on. Hormones, heavy metals, stool, OAT, neurotransmitters + more. Everything was fine except some candida/mould overgrowth as well as elevated toxic metals. I started the CBO again (last one was over a year ago) + heavy metal detox + 21 day detox all at the same time lol. Anyways, I haven't felt any neurological symptoms after just a couple of days of starting these protocols. I can't figure out how this would have happened. Surely 2 days worth of protocols is not enough to stop these symptoms (very happy though). Any idea why? Lorena: Hi Doc, me again! I forgot to mention that I also ran a precision allergy test by Precision Point Diagnostics because they test IgE, IgG, IgG4 and complement (C3d) from blood serum. It's much more expensive so not very affordable for a lot of people. Anyways, a lot of things came up and I also eliminated the ones in the red section of my IgE and IgG (vanilla, banana & more) at the same time that I started all the protocols. A lot of them showed in the IgE section and these were foods that I was consuming on a daily basis when I was having all of those symptoms. Do you think it might have been the removal of these foods that caused the relief of symptoms so quickly? If so, it's crazy how consuming foods you're sensitive to from an IgE and IgG perspective can do to you! I always thought this wasn't a big deal but it clearly is. Nina: Hi doctor Cabral, I get very lightheaded every time I bend down to pick up something. Do you know why this is happening? I do have a low blood pressure, so maybe that could have something to do with it, but I really want to know if there's anything else that could be causing it. I also always feel cold, especially in my extremities. Just to give you some background, I'm a 44 year old female, no kids, vegan and pretty active. Thanks so much for your answer, I really appreciate your help! Nina Farrel: Hello, Dr Cabral. I trust you and your family are in great health. Listening to older episodes and about two years ago on a House call segment you were asked about Tongkat Ali and it's use for athletes and men in their 30's. You went on to say there's a product your team will be launching around September 2020 called Libido Booster. I purchase from the site and I've never seen it. Has the launch been put on hold or it won't be released? Keep up great work. Andjela: Hello Dr!! Thanks for your information! Love following you on Instagram. I had covid (delta) in October 2021, and now 3 months later experiencing hair loss. So are many of my relatives who all had it at the same time. Any suggestions on remedies? Danielle: Hello Dr. Cabral,Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge in functional medicine. I've read your book twice and have no doubt I'll read it again. I listen to this podcast daily and am awaiting the arrival of the minerals and metals test. My question is related to IIH. (I understand the medical advice disclaimer) Are there any natural ways to reduce pressure in the head? I do not want a LP. How else can I reduce excess fluid? I do take L-Lysine and well as a long list of other supplements daily. I'm also taking Goduchi and Triphala as herbal support and am on 2 pharmaceuticals as well, which Id love to come off of, safely, of course. Thanks so much for your time.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:
Savanna: Thanks dr cabral for sharing your message! My question today has to do with studying functional medicine. Because I am a young mom I don't really have the time or resources to go to school to become a functional medicine dr. I'm wondering where you would suggest to start if that is ultimately my goal. I've looked into IHP a little bit and also the institute of integrative nutrition. I want something I can be certified in that I can help people and they'll take me seriously. I hope one day to get a higher education but for now what would you suggest would be a good place to start that would take less than 4 years to see results and be able to work with? Hope that makes senses thanks again! Thien: Over the years from your podcast, I've learned the importance of omega 3s. I have high triglycerides and I also have POTS. I've noticed a connection of being light headed anytime I take a fish oil supplement . I'm not sure if it thins the blood or causes your blood pressure to become lower but I seem to not be able to tolerate any brand (adult or kids dosage ). Is this common? I know every doctor will throw omega 3s or statins as a means to lower cholesterol but it isn't working for me . What can I do to lower triglycerides that don't involve a supplement (I've tried most without success ; bergamot , Guggul , RYE)? I exercise , eat clean, and sleep well. I'm also premenopausal, so I don't know if this is a reason for my sudden high triglycerides . Thank you so much! In good health Jessica: Hi! I'm writing in about my 5 year old son who has a chronic cough. This is something that has been going on since he was very young. I'd love to hear what your thoughts are on "neurological chronic cough", to see if this is a possibility of what is going on with him and what your recommendations would be from a natural / Ayurvedic perspective. Thank you! Tina: My sweet cousin is a long hauler. Months later she still has no taste and smell. Is this symptom not going away because of her rain barrel maybe being full? Is there anything she can do to get it back? Thank you so much!! Kenzie: Hi Dr. Cabral! I'm not sure if you can answer this or have any ideas but I have gotten no answers from my doctors. I have noticed I get nauseous after workouts. Not immediately after but later on or even days after. I was nauseous a ton last year, stopped working out for a few months and it went away. Back to working out and it's back. It almost feels like vertigo nausea. It's all in the head. I feel fine during the workout and all I am doing is light weights and walking. Any ideas or things I should test for? I am positive for h pylori. Thank you. Mariana: Why do I get night sweats when I eat sugar?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…
Let's get started!
Solina: Hi Dr. Cabral! Female in my late 20s. I grew up running (and love it) and I've had to stop because of horomone (low progesterone) and adrenal issues. I've worked with a IHP health coach, following a protocol of adrenal soothe, lower impact workouts (resistance, weights, walking) but I really miss running. For context, I like semi-long distance at 5-8 miles, but whenever I run (even 2-3 miles) I get exhausted. Any suggestions on how I can get back to running at least 1-2x per week? It also helps me lose weight much more seamlessly than strength. Thank you!! Tina: Hello and thank you for everything you do for us! This year I would love to go to a wellness, retreat center somewhere in the United States that incorporates pretty much everything that you believe. Do you know of a place or can you recommend a place to go to that can assist me in my health journey? Also have you ever considered hosting a retreat, wellness week or weekend? If you did I definitely would attend. Thank you so much! Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral, I have struggled many years with chronic constipation, trapped gas, and bloating. I have seen several "specialists" and received CT scans, x-rays, colonoscopies, etc. only to have them shrug their shoulders. During the imaging, doctors noticed several areas that appeared to be scar tissue and always asked if I had "been shot" or had abdominal surgery, neither of which I have. Dietary intervention has helped with additional post prandial symptoms, but the symptoms prevail nonetheless. My question is with regard to abdominal adhesions, or scar tissue, without having had surgery. I understand this is common following intra abdominal procedures, but am curious as to how it could develop on its own. Is it possibly a result of spending years being constantly bloated and distended? For some context, I am 27, workout daily, and seem to manage stress well through my day-to-day. I am currently awaiting results from the Complete Gut Bacteria & Parasite test. Also, I have been seeing a physical therapist for over a year that specializes in visceral manipulation and lymphatic flow and they are certain the scar tissue is the culprit. Their treatments have helped but not entirely resolved issues. Sorry for the lengthy question, and I truly appreciate and value your response. Pauline: Hello Dr Cabral, I had severe endometriosis before and had surgery to remove them including 2 big chocolate cysts and a whole lot of adhesions in my pelvic region. Now, I even lost one tube and it looks like my other ovary is stucked to my uterus. It may be due to endo again or scar tissues from 2 surgeries. My other ovary has chocolate cyst again - found out after my 2nd ivf procedure....which failed. I came across serrapeptase as a supplement to clear blocked tubes. I am wondering if this can help with adhesions and chocolate cycts too? Age is catching up on me and I can't wait to be a mother. Have been trying for a few years without avail. I am looking forward to your reply. Hopeful, Pauline Sam: Hi doctor Cabral,What do you think about earthing sheets? I live in a big city and can't really go barefoot on a daily - or even a weekly base, so sleeping on one of those sheets sounds like a great solution. Before investing in it, I wanted to hear your opinion because I trust your judgement and knowledge greatly. Can't wait to hear your thoughts about it! Thank you! Sam Sylvia: Hi doctor Cabral, First of all, thank you for this incredible podcast. I'm learning so much about my health, it's incredible! Secondly, I wanted to tell you that one positive thing that these difficult past two years have brought me, is that I have more time to walk. My average step count for the last year has been whopping 19500, which is incredible(!!). I haven't lost a huge amount of weight, but I feel amazing and am in the best shape of my life. Now that we are getting back to the normal schedules, I won't be able to walk as much, so I'm a bit concerned that I'm going to gain weight and not feel as great. What do you think? How bad will it be to get back to my normal 10K? And how many steps should I try to take in order to keep my great results from the past two years? Thank you! You are amazing! SylviaThank 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:
Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral- First I would like to thank you for everything you do. You have educated me so much and changed my life for the better. I have a three year old daughter who was diagnosed with febrile seizures at the age of two. If she catches a virus or infection at school (very common) and gets a fever to spike quickly she can have a febrile seizure. Fevers as low as 101 can cause these. While terrifying when they are happening we have been told around 5% of children have this condition and they typically go away around age 5 or 6 and is nothing to be worried about. The pediatrician and neurologist have told us this. When these fevers occur we spend one to two days constantly giving her Tylenol and motrin to bring the fever down. We are constantly testing the temperature and if it gets above 99, it causes us great anxiety that a seizure is coming. I am looking for what the root causes could be here to try and prevent them from occurring and how to possibly bring the fever down without constantly pumping her with drugs. Basically if this was your daughter what would you do? Based on what I have learned from you there has to be a root cause here and some type of action we can take. Victoria: Hi Dr Cabral. I tend to eats lots of raw nuts like Almonds and seeds I'm very active and it doesn't makes me fats I eat very healthy No sugar takes al the vitamins from your practice But I'm wondering if Therese is something I'm missing Thank you Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral, I wanted to get your thoughts on how to effectively identify the root cause and reduce high uric acid. I had a Uric acid level of over 10 and made some lifestyle changes including losing 50lbs, reducing alcohol intake and taking tart cherry extract to reduce it. I was only able to reduce it to 9.6 so my doctor put me on Allopurinol as he said since I have had a gout attack (one time) it should test below 6 to avoid future attacks. He told me that sometimes the medication is the only thing that can keep this to below 6 due to genetic disposition. I wanted to get your thoughts on how to reduce this naturally and/or ID what is causing this. What would you do if you were faced with this situation? I don't want to be on this medication for the rest of my life and I figured there had to be something naturally I could do or at least try. Thanks! Trevor: Dr Cabral sir, My name is Trevor and I am one of your IHP students currently healing my body. I was just told I need to put in a lift in my shoe due to hip displacement and believed to be the length of my legs. I did fracture my growth plate in my ankle when I was 17, and I am now 32. Is there anyway for my body to heal back to normal and not need the lift? Thank you very much Sage: Hi doctor Cabral, I am very health conscious and try to eat clean and organic food most of the time. To my horror, I discovered that the supplement that I've been using for a few months contained Titanium Dioxide, which is apparently unsafe and can cause cancer. Do you know if this is correct? It's said to be accumulating in the body tissues and I really want to get it out of my body ASAP. What would be the best way to do this? Thanks so much for your help! Love your podcast, keep up the amazing work! Sage Molly: Hi doctor Cabral, I have an important question for you: I have been a vegan for about 10 years now, and I'll be honest - I'm doing it more for health benefits, rather than the ethical/environmental ones. Lately, I've been thinking about maybe adding fish and or eggs tp my diet, in order to boost the omega 3', choline, B12 protein and other nutrients naturally, rather than using the supplements. It's really difficult to make this decision though, as being vegan has become a bit of an identity for me and I've built a business and some great relationships because of it. I'm afraid of losing that if I'm no longer considered "vegan". In your professional opinion, what would you advise? Staying fully vegan or adding eggs/fish once a week. I know it's a difficult question, but my health is very important to me and there are few people I trust more than you when it comes to the health advice. I can't wait to hear your thoughts and I'm grateful for you and all you do!
