The Cabral Concept

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:

Megan: Hi Dr C, love your work! I'm writing in to try and better understand in your own experience wild yam and the benefits to someone with low progesterone. There seems to be a lot of warnings out there about using it but keen to better understand from a research perspective how it actually helps to boost progesterone when it seems to be the common understanding that it doesn't actually appear to be able to convert the diosgenin outside of a lab. Are there any issues with this raising estrogen and dhea further for people with elevated levels of those. Could this be beneficial for fertility to help supercharge the cervical mucous and potentially increase chance of the embryo 'sticking'. Keen to hear why you are now using it in one of your new products and when to use it. If so can the wild yam cream be just as affective? Thanks so much

Chelsea: My 6 month old son has been diagnosed with a peanut allergy. I've listened to your previous podcasts where you recommend running an organic acid test and a stool test to see if there is any candida / leaky gut. I'm wondering if this allergy could have anything to do with heavy metals (potentially from vaccines) and if i should run a test for that? Also I just found out that our home has mold, so we are moving right away to hopefully solve that problem. Do you have protocols for babies this young? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for all you do.

Alida: Hi Stephen, I've been struggling with chronic hives for almost a year and nobody can help me find the root cause of it to make it stop. All the doctors do is give me pills and creams to cover up what is going on. They aren't helping anyway. To give you a little background, I'm a 42 year old female, overweight, had a full hysterectomy 4 years ago, have had acid reflux since I was 20 and been taking omprazole for 22 years, 2 years ago they found a tumor on my pituitary gland which is causing adrenal insufficiency (I'm on 5mg of Prednisone for this) and I have sleep apnea. Among all these, the hives is definitely the worst to deal with. Of course I still want to make everything better, but the constant hives and itching is extremely bothersome. I've tried a couple different diets with no success. I'm hoping you are able to help please.

Marty: I've been doing the intermittent fasting for 4 weeks, 16/8. I've gained 4 pounds. Help!

Sam: Hi, Dr. Cabral! I'm wondering if you know anything about Betaine (trimethylglycine)supplementation and methylation. I read about it in a MTHFR group I'm in but haven't found much info on it. My second question is regarding high blood pressure and hormones. What is the connection, if any? I have had issues with anxiety and high blood pressure despite being thin and eating clean since having my son two years ago.I have not had my hormones tested but recently did Organic Acids and HTMA tests and it was recommended that I test hormones as well. Thanks so much!

Lily: Hi Dr. Cabral, I was wondering if there's a connection between high blood glucose and the gut health? Does one influence the other? I'm asking because I've been wearing CGM for a few weeks and it shows that a lot of foods that I'm currently eating are raising my blood sugar - way above the normal. I also have a history of gut issues (imbalanced gut flora), so I was wondering if there's connection between the two. Thanks so much in advance for your answer, I appreciate you and all that you do! Lily

The Flexitarian Diet may just be one of the most compelling diets to date...

While moving towards a more plant-based philosophy and rich in antioxidants, it allows for some flexibility...

This is why it's become much more popular over more extreme ways of looking at food or dieting...

For all the details on why the Flexitarian Diet works so well tune into today's #CabralConcept 1902 - Enjoy the show and let me know if you have any 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!

Lisa: We have been trying to have a second baby for 4 years and haven't been successful so i started to see an acupuncturist. She told me that drinking cold shakes is not good for my body since it takes a lot of energy to digest and it can cause cold uterus. I have been drinking your shakes daily because it has an abundance of nutrients. What is your thoughts on this? Should I stop drinking the shakes ? can drinking shakes really cause Infertility?

Samantha: My question is about oral surgery and supplements/protocols. I am about to start the CBO protocol followed by a heavy metals detox per my lab results. My IHP also recommended many supplements that I just began taking. I have to be put under general anesthesia to remove all 4 wisdom teeth soon. Will pausing the protocol and supplements for the week of the surgery make it less effective at eliminating the yeast overgrowth? Also, what are your thoughts on continuing the DNS and additional supplements (cal-mag, balanced zinc, Vit c, etc) while taking pain medication?

Paula: Hi Doc! What's your opinion on konjac noodles? Apparently is made out of Japanese Konjac yam and it's extremely low in kcal...

Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral, I listen to the podcast & enjoy following along on instagram. Thank you for all of your time, energy, sincere passion & knowledge. You are giving so much hope.. my question ill try to sum it up.. ive had low wbc for like 5 years or so now or so i have found out. My dr. Also keeps mentioning high cholesterol but not due to diet? I try to lead a health lifestyle however I am on the anxious side, always have been. I enjoy running & do other workouts. I also try to be conscious of eating healthy however fall under perfection for sure ! My primary dr was concerned sent me to a hematologist. i dont notice any symptoms of it so i dont think such as getting sick more often or not healing .. The hematologist says it could be benign ethnic neutropenia. Or he mentioned another benign cause that he says he sees often. im concerned im overlooking something. I just started taking the DNS & the healthy gut support. I do take birth control unfortunately, something im not proud of. What advice (or hope) can you give ? How can I be sure Im nutritionally/supplementally (is that even word?) doing all i can? :) thanks a million times dr cabral, take care -

Deanna: hi Dr. Cabral, I am wondering what your thoughts are on protecting yourself if you decide to get the vaccine. It goes against what I believe, but feel I may not have a choice if I want to continue my work or travel. Holding off as long as I can. I am a yoga teacher who works with older adults and may need it for work. I take your recommended protocol - vitamin D, zinc, quercetin, etc. Also, I feel increasingly alienated from my friends, family and colleagues due to my resistance against getting the vaccine. Every time someone shouts a hurray, I got my vaccine, it is hard not to cringe. People are starting to act like I am losing my mind for my beliefs. Please help.

Marco: Could sneezing be caused by a food sensitivity?

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:

Lynn: If I am a Vata should I be limiting my raw food, for instance salads (my favorite food) and eat mostly cooked foods?

Simon: Hi Dr Cabral, I have a question on internal air quality. The floor of my office building is about to be refurbished including new carpets, paint and furniture. Being a multi-storey office building without openable windows, I was already concerned about the indoor air quality, however this will no doubt make things much worse. Apart from spending as little time indoors as possible, is there any thing else I can do to minimise the health impacts (such as supplements or practices)? Many thanks!

Sarah: Dear Dr. Cabral, After my stool test showed bacterial overgrowth, I am on week 3 of the CBO with the citricidal drops, and started having heart burn for the first time. I never had this before - my main symptoms before were severe bloating and gas, but not heart burn. Now, for the last two weeks I've had this reflux either before a meal or after. I've been following the CBO protocol diet strictly, with the enzymes. Can you help me understand why this new symptom has developed - is it normal for this to happen on the CBO, is it die-off, or is it related to stomach acid? Will it get better after more weeks or do you recommend I do anything specific to address it? Thank you for all your help.

Bob: Hello Dr. Cabral, I have been listening to you for about a year and enjoy the daily information that you have been given. I look forward to listening each day and appreciate your passion to help bring us the truth and best for us and our families I live in Vietnam currently (an American working as an ex-pat) I want to find someone over here I can work with. I have looked up Functional medicine doctors and Aryvaic Doctors and Doctors of naturopathy but I still get a little confused on the difference and which one is the best to work with. I don't have any big issues that I am aware of and my overall health is ok but needs to lose a little weight. My goal is to improve my health and live longer and be able to live life to the fullest with plenty of energy and loof and feel great. Based on listing to you would recommend starting with some tests and agree but what type of doctor or doctors should I be reaching out to help in my goals

Afra: Hi Dr. Cabral, Listen to you regularly and I hear you all the time say there is no pressure to you the equil.LIfe brands but you if you don't we should be looking out or making sure that what we purchase has no something or make sure it has plenty of something else in that brand. Do you have this information relating to this all in one place that I can use as a reference when deciding to purchase as I live overseas and and hard to get in-country and I want to check locally but ensure it is doing the job. I do understand that your products are better and as I make trips to the US I can try to stock up as well.

Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral, I wrote in earlier this year about having squiggly things in my urine and you answered it for a male related to the prostate but I am actually a 30 year old female and so curious what these are a reflection of. Given the unusual nature of them It is difficult to try and research when I don't know what it even is. Can you give any insight as to why I would be getting white squiggle things in my urine that look more structured than just discharge as they are very clearly little squiggles. Thanks!
