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!

Selina: Hey there Dr. Cabral! So I'm just a few days shy of finishing the 21 day detox and just have a question for ya. I work straight nights as a nurse, so my schedule is not consistent. For example, I work a few nights, then have 1 off and then work 2 and have 4 off. My body hasn't known what a normal schedule is in 17 years because of my night shift work. Wondering for the next time I detox...what is the best way to use the detox to get the maximum benefit with a schedule like mine? (Meaning- Timing of shakes and meals day to day). Oh, and also I 100% lost my taste and smell from covid 6 months ago and have very faintly got them back. I was so hopeful the detox would help with it, but it hasn't. I stay fit through strength training and distance running and have lived a vegan lifestyle for almost 10 years now. I consider myself an overall very healthy person, so I don't get it! Any suggestions?! Kind regards, Selina

Shelley: Hi Dr. Cabral, can you give insight about oral Lychen Planus I have low glutathione levels and high oxalate. I'm using liposomal glutathione, quercetin,probiotic, l- glutamine avoiding high oxalate foods, (which incidentally glutathione made severe leg pains that I thought was fibromyalgia go away) I have a lot of recent food sensitivities that make me feel poisoned, wheeze, right eye will swell and become red, brain fog, gi issues. I can't put my finger on what is wrong, I know since childhood I'm allergic to mold and dust mites.

Helen: Hi Doc! What are your thoughts on streptococcus? I've seen great probiotics out there with mainly small intestinal strains (lactobacillius) but I see streptococcus in almost all of them. Do you think we shouldn't buy those that contain streptococcus or is it still beneficial? I'd love to buy your products but taxes are too high here in the UK so I try to find similar ones so I'm trying my best. Thanks!

Emma: Hello Dr. Cabral, I started listening to your podcasts about a month ago and love them. I am writing to you today for guidance on fat loss and tendentious. A year ago, I was diagnosed with posterior tibial tendentious in my left foot due to overuse (I ran 3 marathons in a year). Over the last year, I have tried PT and injections but nothing is working. I have gained 10 pounds over the last year, and I am a petite 5'2'' women, so the weight gain is noticeable and annoying. Do you have any recommendations for losing fat with little to no exercise (specifically around the mid section). I purchased your 14 day detox protocol and am hoping that jump starts the fat loss. Any tips would be much appreciated as I want my pants to fit again. :) Thank you for all that you do! Emma

Stefanie: Good morning Dr! Thank you so much for taking the time to answer these questions, we all appreciate them a lot! I know you've answered a lot of questions when it comes to hormone replacement therapy but I wanted to ask you specifically your opinion on it. Do you think that after a woman reaches menopause there is only so much that she can do through the "destress protocol" and so hormone replacement therapy is sometimes necessary? Or do you think that you can always fix it naturally and there is never the need of it?

Colin: Hey Doc. Hopefully by now Im a repeat question asker on the podcast, sent you one a few weeks back about weight lifting and inflammation. Your podcast 1817 about male hormones today got me thinking about something else. Ive currently been taking finasteride for hair loss and for the most part it seems to have staved off further thinning, As a guy in my 30s, this is the last thing I'm going to give up without a fight. What are your opinions on an extended use of a drug like finasteride (5a reductase inhibitor) that's basically stopping the body from converting testosterone into a virtually useless and damaging hormone in adult men(dht). Ive heard of some upcoming topical anti-androgens coming to market that would potentially be even more localized to the scalp and would inflict less systemic effects like an oral drug. Thoughts on any of this? Im torn on natural remedies to hair loss because by and large they have been proven to give little to no effect on hair loss. In fact, why would we consult nature on a natural process trying to destroy our hair?! I do think, however, that there may be some natural assistance we can provide our bodies to deal with extended use of a drug like finasteride. In any case, love to hear your thoughts thanks so much for putting out your content.

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:

Erica: Hi Dr. Cabral! Quick question — you always mention how on a vegan based diet, some people become too catabolic. What exactly does that mean? And how would someone know when that is that case? And lastly, is that unhealthy? Thank you!

Shruti: My son is suffering from Crohn's with perianal abscess. It triggered after food poisoning during our visit to India . I want to know which tests to order and what can he do to improve his gut health and being his flare in remission.

Anonymous: Dr Cabral - thank you for helping us take control of our health. Just want to understand something - I am a 51 year old woman (Australian). in 2016 I did labs and recorded a high testosterone (288.0* H pmol/l) again in 2020 I recorded a high measure for testosterone (51 pg/ml). Due to other medical issues taking priority it has never really be disclosed to me why I record such high testosterone. Ive googled - which suggests PCOS - however I don't have any of the systems of PCOS. My voice is huskier, get possibly 5 chin hairs, and I do think my face structure is more masculine. I experienced early menopause 42 (y.o). Prior to that I had off the charts high libido, now I have very low. I eat a good diet, exercise frequently, practise mindfulness, but did go through a period with high stress, fatigue, smoked and abused Ventolin (2015-2019). Just want to understand. 1. why I record high testosterone, is it of concern? 2. do I need to rebalance hormones? 3. how do I get my libido back? Equilibrium Labs 2020 hormones- Estrodial 0.6pg/ml - Progestrone 21pg/ml- PG/E2 35L - DHEAS 5.5 ng/ml

Leyla: Hi Dr Cabral! How would you go about navigating social situations and maintaining friendships while on your health journey? It can be so hard to change what you eat when you still want to be social so it would be interesting to see your perspective.

Deborah: Hi Stephen I am new to listening to you this January 2021 and you are amazing. I feel I am pretty heathy. I eat eat heathy foods mostly veggies and some fish and chicken sometimes red meat I also take some supplement however I feel if I listen to enough podcasts I would be taking a a ton of supplements what do you recommend to do.

Ryan: If you had to choose between conventional wild blueberries, and non-wild organic blueberries, which would you choose?

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!

Victoria: Hi Cabral! Thank you in advance for your time — my question is on mainly Lyme Disease. I'm someone who has confirmed Lyme (western blot I believe), haven't yet taken antibiotics. I definitely have the symptoms - neurological dizziness, anxiety, etc. I believe I've had it for at least 3 years now undiagnosed. My question would be, how would you treat the symptoms of someone with Lyme disease that has had it for years? Would you alter your tick based protocol in any way? Just wondering, as that episode seemed to be more of an immediate response to a recent tick bite. Thanks again!

Andreas: I've have had an issue with very thick, yellow toenails on my right foot for 20+ yrs. Scrapings revealed it is yeast. My father also had this issue on his right foot only. I have Hashimotos, D and B12 def, skin issues on face and can't seem to get rid of the toenail issue. Why only on right foot? Also, any insight on geographic tongue?

Shea: Hello Dr.Cabral, Thanks for everything you do! Im writing in in regards to my husband. Hes 28 years old and has been having terrible night sweats off and on for a long time. Its so bad sometimes he can't even sleep, because the minute he falls asleep he starts sweating. Ive tried so many things to help him... I just don't know what to do. Background info that could be helpful. He usually only sleeps around 7 hours a night, eats well (we don't do any refined sugar, carbs, soy or processed foods). He was in the military and it was both mentally and physically stressful on his body, not to mention a large volume of vaccines. He's also had trouble feeling joy lately, hes never been depressed..but I can see him struggling somedays. Thanks, Shea

Sarah: Hi Dr. Cabral, I love your show and appreciate all you do for our community. I learn so much in every show and I trust and value your opinion. I was wondering if you have heard of the Bepic products and what your thoughts are on those. They are supposed to help with energy, mental clarity, digestion and sleep. Could taking these potentially cause more harm than good in the long run? I'm curious what your thoughts are as you are one of the few people who I fully trust when it comes to health and wellness. Thank you for always being your authentic self and for all you do!

Emily: Hi there, I am at a point of desperation. my 5 year old and myself have some weird parasite. We were diagnosed with pin worms but never tested and the medicine seemed to work a little but not completely. My son recently was diagnosed with bells palsey and I can't see out of one of my eyes doctor's don't believe me. Can someone please help us!

Lorena: Hi Dr Cabral! Absolutely love love your podcast! I activate all of my seeds by soaking them in filtered water overnight with a pinch of Himalayan salt and then roast them in the oven. I then store them in the fridge as this what it is recommended to do after activating. Do you think storing in the fridge is a bad idea due to mould growing? Or is this not an issue? Thanks!

Carlo: Is there an easy way to listen to very old podcasts? I can find the podcast I want to listen to, but then go into an endless loop. There is no "Play" button on the relevant podcast. And clicking on "listen in iTunes" takes me to the latest 10, and then click to add 10 more, etc. Is there an EASY "play this podcast now" button? Thanks.

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:

Nancy: Hello Dr. Cabral! My family and friends have been changing their diet and lifestyle through everything I share from your amazing podcast and book. We're planning another group detox soon and wondering if we can use the activated multivitamin instead of the DNS because the DNS flavors were not a hit for us. Other than adding our own hemp protein, are we mostly just missing the glutathione? Thank you for everything you do! -Nancy

KP: Is it possible to be a Vata dosha but still gain weight fairly easily? I'm super tall, very small frame and was always in a healthy weight range but quite over fat. By switching to a whole food plant based diet I was able to lose the weight and get down to the correct body fat percentage, but I find that if I eat to full satiety of even these whole plant foods the scale and body fat will start to climb if I'm not careful. I've been listening to your podcasts about dosha's and was curious as to if you can fit the physical description of one but be more metabolically like a kapha (like I think I am). If so, should I be eating to support my vata, or kapha, or do I just choose which one is my current goal?

Karen: Hi Dr. Cabral! I'm 48 years old and have noticed that over the years I tend to get cold sores more frequently than I used to even though I eat a much healthier diet than I did when I was younger and am much better at managing stress than I used to be as well. This may be coincidental but it seems like anytime I supplement with creatine I end up with a cold sore. Nothing I have found online would suggest that creatine can increase the incidence of cold sores but am interested in hearing any insight you might have. I have listened to your other podcasts related to cold sores but didn't hear anything related specifically to supplements that might trigger them in some people. Thanks for being such a great resource - it is incredibly appreciated.

Georgina: Hi Dr Cabral! I am about to enroll in the IHP program, super excited! I'm interested in your thoughts on the blood type diet? Thank you so much for all that you do, you're awesome. Georgina

Leslie: Thanks for your show..Q: I've been using Fatlossity, and find if I take the evening dose with dinner, it keeps me awake. How can I manage that? I've done a 21-day, then a 14-day and now 2) 7-day detoxs over the lockdowns since last March. I sleep great during the detoxes. I would like to lose another 20 lbs. I also use DNS, Adrenal soothe, and magnesium. I find it difficult to stay on such a restricted diet, so I add back in the blueberries and a sweet potato at lunch. And I no longer lose weight. If I don't eat the sweet potato, I feel strong food compulsions around mid-afternoon and I am often unable to make it until dinner without snacking. Fruit snacks sometimes put me into a tailspin where I am more hungry and want to start grazing through the pantry. I have started to use hypnotherapy to help.. and lost some weight. I would like to use that second dose of Nighttime Fatlossity and still be able to sleep well. Thanks for your ideas. Leslie

Diane: Hi Dr. Cabral I listen to your podcast everyday for the past 3 years and have joined IHP, its is PRICELESS !! Thank you. My question is I have a friend in his late 50s treated with oxaliplatin Chemo for stage 3 colon cancer. He has been off chemo for at least 1.5 years but suffers severe debilitating peripheral neuropathy in his lower extremities. His Physicians say there is nothing they can do. Do you have any suggestions, would a detox help or is this a done deal. Thanks
