With so much controversy as of late, I wanted to share with you some simple ways to begin to detox heavy metals from your body… This is extremely important because it's unlikely a day goes by that you are not exposed to some degree of heavy metals (which are toxic) and your body must eradicate them… The nice thing is that nature has given us plenty of foods and natural means to keep up even with the most challenging of environments… For all the details on how to detox heavy metals naturally tune into today's #CabralConcept 2202 - Enjoy the show and let me know if you have any questions!

If you've been struggling with low energy, brain fog, and low mood I'd like to share with you an alternative way of thinking about how to increase your energy that does not have anything to do with diet, quality nutritional supplements, or exercise… On today's show, I want to delve deeper into how our own internal neurotransmitters and endorphins can provide us with abundant energy from the moment we wake until we go to bed. On today's CabralConcept 2201 I am going to share how to enjoy endless energy that goes beyond nutrition and exercise - Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought in the comments!

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!

Nycole: Hi Dr Cabral, I love the podcast and your positive energy, thank you for all your work!I have spots on my skin called CARP, confluent and reticulated papillomatosis. I have had them for 3 years, wondering where it comes from and what to do about it. I eat a mostly paleo diet and recently strictly gluten free due to celiac. Thanks!

Rebecca: I'm looking for information on an elevated secretory IGa, my results were >6000 Anti-Gliiadin IgA was >500 Occult blood 77 I had a gi map test completed by a different company and I don't feel like they understood the results. I'm concerned about celiac and will start removing gluten from my diet. And get a FOBT from PCP. Just looking for more insight on the elevated IgAs Thank You so very much, I have spent a small fortune and don't feel like I got the best support or answers to my labs. The health coach said she had never seen such high IgA,s before As well I'm enrolled in the IHP 1&2 program, just signed up 2 weeks ago.

Maria: Hi Dr. Cabral! I have a question in regards to vitamin D levels. I have had my levels tested 4 times over the last 9 months. I can't get my levels to budge from 30-35. I was supplementing with 5000 IU of the EquiLife drops and then bumped up to 10000 IU two months before my last test, but to no avail. I have listened to your podcast on the cofactors for vitamin D absorption many times. I use the DNS powder daily, so I'm getting all the other vitamins and minerals you mention in that podcast that are required for absorption. I had been taking my vitamin D at breakfast with my morning smoothie which contains 1-2 tablespoons of seeds. I just started taking it at lunch time instead and also started supplementing with additional K2 (MK7) at that time as well. I live in the Midwest, so sunlight vitamin D is really only possible from June-September. Not sure what else I can do to get my levels up. I am on month 1 of the CBO finisher, after completion of CBO protocol. I'm sure poor gut absorption has had something to do with it? Any other advice on how to get my levels up or why my levels haven't budged at all?! Do you have a favorite vitamin D light that you recommend?

Karen: Dear Dr. Cabral, Thank you for your podcast and the easy way you get the information out about having good health. I am 62 and in the best health of my life thanks to many changes I have made. 10 years ago, I switched to a gluten free diet, the change it made in how I felt was amazing. Since then, I have been devouring books on health, and continuing to modify my diet and exercise. I am now dairy free, (a recent change) and eat very little sugar products. At 62 I am back to the weight I was when I graduated from high school! My question for you is about a condition I have on my lower lip, it has been there for about 25 years in varying degrees, and is called Actinic Cheilitis. It is a continual sloughing of skin cells on my lower lip, sometimes it is mildly painful, and is worse in the winter months. My dermatologist gave me a cream to treat it, a strong pharmaceutical that actually works by destroying the skin. I went through 1 round of this and couldn't tolerate the cream. The pain and ugliness on my lip was awful and I experienced body aches, headaches and couldn't sleep, a condition that is a rare side effect of this cream. As this is considered a pre-cancerous condition, I need to do something. I appreciate any suggestions you have.

Dawn: I started the 7 day detox and after the 3rd shake, I felt nauseous? Is this normal? Should I continue on?

Bettina: Hi Stephen thank you for your podcast, i only recently started listening to you. I got your rRain Barrel book and the 14 day detox. would love to have the tests done however with the $ exchange and taxes it get really expensive. can you suggest any labs in Brisbane or Gold Coast that you would recommend. looking forward to hearing from you. sincerely Bettina

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:

Yasmin: 1. I was listening to your podcast about zinc.. I take a supplement of a combined version which includes calcium/magnesium and zinc. Would that be a good supplement to take?

Samantha: I developed what I thought were varicose veins in my upper thighs and behind my knees. I was so blown away because I am not overweight or pregnant or elderly or sitting or standing for long periods of time. I just heard that one of the symptoms of covid is thrombosis. I am wondering if these sometimes painful itchy veins could be thrombosis and how I could treat them naturally?

Marcie: Hi Dr Cabral! Bless you for sharing vital health information with the world! My question: i am 55 and in good health. I supplement daily with zinc, copper, C D quercetin, b complex, A and magnesium. About 7 weeks ago I started having a cycle of cluster headaches. I started on verapamil daily and plan to wean off now that the headaches have stopped. These come every 2-3 years. I feel like I heard you make a side comment in one of your house call questions about tartar on teeth, but I've searched and haven't come up with anything. Can you share what might be the cause of tartar buildup. I'm not sure what had changed but over the last couple of months I seem to quickly get tartar build up after brushing w my electric tooth brush and also cleaning with a dental tool. My curiosity is about the root cause which I thought I heard you say something about a lack of cod liver oil in the diet. My dentist is always amazed at how healthy my mouth is and how little cleaning needs to be done! I've also heard something about K2 in relation to this issue. Thank you for your time!

Tiffany: Hi Dr. Cabral, I recently purchased new pans (Caraway. I came across an article shortly after stating that the pans tested positive for 20 metals. Any advice? https://tamararubin.com/2021/08/caraway-cookware-without-the-chemicals-tested-positive-for-20-metals-including-lead-mercury-cobalt-antimony-when-tested-with-xrf-technology/

Lorena: What are you thoughts on pickled Japanese ginger? I love having these with my meals in Japanese restaurants so I want to make sure that they are healthy haha. Absolutely love your podcast!

Rachel: Hello! I have been dealing with leaky gut and food sensitivities for a long time after clearing sibo. I have removed gluten, had a stool test, dutch test, and micronutrients test but things are not getting better with treatment. We are looking into food sensitivities more, but I had a test done two years ago and am afraid there's another underlying issue. What would you do next? Thanks for everything 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!

Isn't it funny that people in the natural health field can be saying something for years (or decades), but then a Ph.D. or Harvard study comes out and now the world is ready to hear it ; ) Regardless, now is better than never and I'm always happy to read the research and share these findings just like this one on how stress from COVID has led to weight gain, which is not leading many to dis-ease… (This podcast was recorded before the John Hopkins paper) So on today's #CabralConcept 2197 I'd like to walk you through this cycle of stress, weight gain, and dis-ease and why it is so important to break the cycle at all 3 phases in order to enjoy a life of health and happiness!
