It's amazing that it's taken this long, but finally, we are starting to find a balance with "experts" in the space no longer subscribing to the notion that everyone should be fasting the majority of the day every day… This is very important since from a clinical standpoint many of my colleagues and I have seen rapidly declining thyroid and sex hormones in those that "over fast…" That's why on today's #CabralConcept 2013 I'd like to share with you how not to over-fast & shut down your thyroid and progesterone levels - Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought in the comments below!

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!

Chantal: Dear doctor Cabral, What is the best way to lose belly fat? I'm an active 38-year-old female, no kids, healthy weight, working out regularly, meditate, do not smoke or drink, eat whole food plant-based diet..I'm pretty much perfect, haha ;) I have muscle definition all over my body, but there's a layer of fat over my stomach that I just can't get rid of it. I do have some digestive issues, so when I'm bloated my belly looks huge and it makes me very self conscious. Any advice you have would be much appreciated. Thanks so much! Chantal

Lara: Hi, dr. Cabral :) I've tried to find it on previous episodes but with no luck, so I'm writing in on behalf of my friend.. he's got plantar fibromitosis and he's sometimes in a lot of pain and has been advised surgery, but doesn't want it.. could you explain this condition a bit more, why does it occur and what would you recommend? Thank you so much for everything you do, you are absolutely amazing! Have a great day, everyone!

Jamie: Hi Dr Cabral, another quick question after thanking you again for all you & your awesome team do. I have been part of the community now for over 3 years & it has changed my life & will subsequently change my children's lives (maybe even my teams lives once they are sick of hearing my changed diet etc!) Massive heartfelt thank you. This year I decided that to get serious & finish my internal health journey (regular strength exercise next!) so to do another CBO heavy metal & mould protocols I didn't need the distraction of alcohol so decided to make 2021 alcohol free (almost 6 months in so covid has made this easy :-) ) as a result I needed the occasional go to drink for a celebration and stumbled across Freestar.co . It seems awesome & tastes incredible (if you like beer) but I wondered what are potential downsides of it and ingredients & therefore what's a reasonable intake. I mean I think I might make this a permanent social drink preference in the future… ingredients below - thank you!!! ingredients are all natural & highest quality include: Purified Water, Malted Barley (Gluten Free), Perle Hops & blend of other natural ingredients. 10 parts per million of gluten in the finished product & to be officially gluten free you need under 20ppm. 0% alcohol in process and product.

MacKenzie: Hi I am getting surgery and am worried about taking antibiotics. If you have to take them what are the best things to take/ do to reduce the damage it does to your gut.

Simon: Hello, I am wondering if you eat raw fish, specifically raw tuna or salmon. If you do eat raw fish, how often do you eat it, how many ounces, and specifically what type of tuna or salmon do you recommend for the best health benefits and the least amount of mercury/other toxins? Thanks

Jamie: i Dr Cabral, much shorter thank you this time but again thank you for absolutely everything you and your amazing team do. If we wanted to check periodically that there were no tumours benign or not or anything like that growing anywhere in our bodies should we be doing a periodic five year CT scans or what other tests along with the standard functional medicine tests for our general health should we be doing that would likely pick something up? I'm not worried but I have too many friends or colleagues who suddenly found a tumour and it was a bit late.

MacKenzie: Can you cure H Pylori without a total diet change? I have a lot of events going on and cannot do a cleanse but I would like to try to kill the H pylori with the suggestions you made on foods to include and supplements.

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:

Ruth: Hi Dr Cabral, my daughter introduced me to your podcasts and I am so glad she did. I listened to podcast 1173 on "why you need to boost your low T naturally". I have been getting the pelleted HRT for a few years now and the day I listened to this podcast I had just gotten pelleted again. I think it will be my last one after listening to your podcast. Because I have had a total hysterectomy two years ago, I thought the pelleting would give my body what it no longer can do by itself. I also had very low libido and drive at the time I started them. I am an obese, 67-year-old female and have gained about 20 pounds since the hysterectomy. Would you recommend I stay off the HRT pelleting and try the supplements you mentioned in your podcast? Vitamin D Magnesium full spectrum Zinc picolinate I already have high cholesterol and you mentioned that HRT could lead to even raise it more!? I am currently on phase III of the cell core detox program. I do have chronic stress because I am in pain from a scope of my right knee a few years ago where the surgeon cut away some cartilage and said I need a total knee replacement because of arthritis. I am hoping to correct my nutrition and give my knee the right environment to heal itself. Is this possible? The following is in my HRT pellet: t-pellet 100 mg x 2 estradiol 12.5 mg I also take NP thyroid 90 mg 1am and ½ noon FreeTe 1 capsule daily after 1 ½ months after pellet insertion (I understand this is to draw out the extra testosterone and make it last longer) Iodine 12.5 mg 1 daily DIM one daily ADK 1 daily Thank you for any insight you can give me!

Luke: Hi Dr. Cabral. Sorry for the controversial question but I need some guidance. My wife and I have just found out that she is pregnant after a very long journey in trying to conceive. During this time we have done lots of research and decided not to vaccinate or have any unnecessary medical intervention during the pregnancy and beyond. My wife and I would like to know what else we should consider doing to make sure that our baby has the best start to life. We both take the level 3 daily protocol, have done all major protocols from equilibrium nutrition in preparation to having our baby, we follow your recommended diet, we exercise and have removed all toxins from the home among other things. I believe that this is enough for us to give our baby the best start to life but is there anything else that we should consider? We know that we are up for some push back from friends and family for our decisions but we just want to make sure that we are doing what is best for our baby. Thanks in advance for your guidance with this.

Sally: Hi doctor Cabral, I was wondering if you could explain what Secretory IgA is. After suffering with digestive issues (bloating, gas, etc) for a few years, I did a stool test, and my Secretory IgA came back very low. My doctor tried to explain what it is and what I can do, but I did not really understand it. I've been listening to your podcast for years, therefore I know that you have the amazing ability to explain difficult medical terms and make them more digestible (pun intended!), so I would be very grateful if you could tell me more about it. In particular, what lowers Secretory IgA and what I can do to fix it? Thank you very much! Sally

David: There are multivitamins that have an AM and PM formula, or are taken separately. One reason is to control certain vitamin and mineral ratios. This is based on science that says that there are different nutrients that compete against or inhibit the absorption of other nutrients. Examples I found online were: Iron can have a negative effect on zinc absorption; Folate can mask the symptoms of B12 deficiency; Vitamin A interferes with absorption of vitamin K; and aim to take calcium and magnesium supplements at least 2 hours apart. Is this something that should be considered when evaluating a multivitamin? Does the dosage and formulation of DNS control for nutrients that compete or inhibit absorption of other nutrients? Thanks so much.

Michael: Why would someone get sicker and develop new symptoms by killing pathogens? I have mold toxicity (Chaetomium), some candida and high h. pylori.

Whether you're renting, own your home, or thinking about building new, you'll want to make sure that you are aware of potential toxins that come with building materials… This was a real eye-opener for me when I started studying how toxic home building materials can be - Everything from the glues, paints, insulation, sprays, and shine they put on your floors… The good news is that there are alternatives and just like looking for good quality, organic food, you can find healthy building materials… For all the details on how to avoid toxic home syndrome tune into today's #CabralConcept 2008 - Enjoy the show and let us know what you thought!

Believe it, or not, Intermittent Fasting has the ability to help rebalance many of the hormones in your body… But when taken too far it can be disastrous for your health… This is something I've been trying to preach for over 6 years on the podcast, and luckily it is now starting to be picked up by doctors and practitioners in this field… For all the details on how fasting affects hormones and thyroid levels tune into today's #CabralConcept 2006 - Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought!
