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:

Lauren: Dr Cabral,Please help! My 4 & 1/2 year old daughter has just recently developed body odour, some darker hairgrowth on her top lip & legs, a random long hair in the middle of her forehead, and she now has perioral eczema. I am concerned the hair growth may be signs of early hormonal changes, although I should mention she is half maltese, so unsure how much genetics plays a part in the hair growth.Before all this she had a rough chicken skin since a baby, and almost constant bloating, both of which have cleared up since completing the childrens parasite protocol, CBO with mastic gum and is almost finished the heal and seal. Now this eczema on her face makes me think I may need to do some testing on her gut.Previous to these protocols she tested high IgG for egg and moderately to another 16 foods. I have not retested these as yet. She eats very well, lots of wholefoods, almost completely organic, gluten free and the only dairy we have is butter.I am looking for advice on where to go from here, as I am very worried about what is going on in her little body. I am an IHP and student naturopath, but never imagined I'd be practicing on my own children already, and this makes me nervous as they are such precious little souls! Would love your thoughts.

Paula: Hi Dr Cabral. Thank you so much for what you do and I love listening to the Cabral Concept first thing when I wake up. I don't miss one episode! My dad is 73 and has recently done a scan which showed a significant loss in bone density. He cannot walk more than 20m because he feels a lot of pain. I hate seeing him like this and the doctor said that there's nothing he can do but take very strong painkillers. I know that there isn't really anything he can do because the bone mass is gone but is there anything that he can at least to reduce the pain?

Natalie: What exactly is hydroxychloroquine and is it safe? If it is effective at preventing the virus, what are the possible downsides? Will it be an effective solution to the pandemic long-term?

Patrick: Hi Dr. Cabral hope all is well. I'm 46 and feel like I'm in the best shape and best health since finding your podcast a few years ago. My question is about speed and endurance I play competitive hockey 2 days a week but feel like I'm losing that extra boost of speed and energy when I need it . I do go to the gym 3 days a week for about 30 min of strength training upper and lower body so I don't feel it's a strength issue. I'm hoping to keep playing sports and be competitive for a long time . Thank you for all you do

Ken: Hey Dr. Stephen Cabral. What are your thoughts on frozen collagen peptides? Being a supplement junkie I recently purchased frozen collagen peptides having an amount of 9000 mg each pill with 3000 mg L-Glutathione, also. I know collagen are great for the body as well as glutathione but what are your thoughts particularly on collagen peptides and L-glutathione forms? Thank you for all the value you provide.

Dan: Hi Dr. Cabral. About two years ago I started a very strict regiment where I was doing a ketogenic diet, daily intermittent fasting and daily steady state cardio. This initially had me feeling the best I've ever felt in my life both mentally and physically. Unfortunately the results were short lived and after about a 8 months I started experiencing significant digestive issues, loss of sex drive, as well as depression and anxiety. This coupled with some stressful life events had me feeling like I just didn't have any gas in the tank. I had my testosterone level checked and it was very low at 198. I began seeing a functional medicine doctor who found I was in phase 3 HPA axis dysfunction with very low DHEA levels, I had SIBO, and a magnesium and potassium deficiencies. I've heard you say that this is a very predictable way in which the body breaks down on a ketogenic diet. After following my doctors supplementation regiment for about 5 months, going back to a normal diet and reducing exercise I feel so much better and my symptoms have for the most part resolved. What I can't get back to is the feeling of vitality I initially felt on the ketogenic diet. Do you have any insight into why this made me feel so good and how I can get that feeling back. Thanks -Dan

Believe it or not, it has now been proven that some masks spread the virus faster than wearing no mask at all…

When I first read this study I couldn't believe what I was reading and had to look deeper into the science as to why…

I'm glad I did because the most up-to-date scientific research now clearly establishes which masks work, which work partially, and which ones are actually worse than no mask at all…

Tune in to today's #CabralConcept 1665 to find out the new controversial research on masks and which ones to stay away from – Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought!

The last 5-6 months have been one of staying in more, sometimes moving less, and for many eating a bit more than we've been used to...

And often that extra eating has been filled with some comfort foods and occasional alcohol... All of which can very easily pack on the pounds when we get off track for too long... That's why on today's #CabralConcept 1664 I'd like to share with you a simple mind & body plan to drop the "quarantine 15 or 20" the healthy way - Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought!

It seems like every day there's one more item to worry about in terms of what to eat or what not to eat...

And while the majority of these are true (excluding fad diets) some items are more dangerous to watch out for than others...

That's why on today's #CabralConcept 1663 I'd like to share with you how certain hidden food additives affect your health in a very negative way - Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought!

Being able to independently assess your strengths and weaknesses is key to becoming who you were meant to be... At some stage, this will likely involve a certain level of internal or external feedback... This can be an amazing time of self-reflection if you allow it, but unfortunately many refuse... That's why on today's #CabralConcept 1662 I'd like to share with you ahead of time the 3 triggers holding you back from achieving your biggest goals - Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought!

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!

Bridget: Could you please speak about polycystic kidney disease - PKD? Is it possible to help these people remove the cysts naturally? When you speak about kidney disease does polycystic kidney disease fall under that same umbrella? For example, people with this disease need to be extremely careful with detoxing/cleanses? Could you please explain why that is?

Mariela: Hi Dr Cabral. I am 21 years old and have a healthy weight because I exercise regularly (a combination of HIT, Yoga, Light cardio, etc). I was on the contraceptive pill for 5 years and got off it cold turkey last November (2019). It reached May and I still didn't get my period back. I did the organic acid test, HTMA, and thyroid and adrenal hormone test. Afterwards I did the 21 DCD, followed by the CBO protocol. I've also incorporated many vitamins and minerals as advised by one of your health coaches. B complex, balanced zinc, full spectrum magnesium, adrenal soothe, DNS, etc. I eat 9 cups of organic vegetables & fruits per day, a good amount of carbs from my morning oats and I don't even have cheat meals anymore. I do everything perfectly. My period hasn't come back yet and I don't know what else to do. Your health coach told me I had very low progesterone and low estrogen as well. My cortisol levels were ok. Can you please help me get my period back? I will be going now the CBO finisher but I'm still sensitive to seeds so I can't implement seed cycling yet. I'm very worried that It's been so many months without my period. Thank you so much.

Krissy: Hey Dr Cabral, firstly want to say thank you for sharing your incredible wealth of knowledge with the world and for allowing me to think outside my "naturopathy box".I have multiple autoimmune diseases, hormone imbalances and several other health issues. I'm working with a friend who is an IHP level 2, and have done a 21 day detox, am currently doing parasite protocol and intestinal cleanse, and will be starting CBO protocol in Sept.The issue I'm writing to you about, however, is my binge eating disorder and addiction to food. I have the knowledge of how and what to eat. The problem is the I still have the compulsion to eat sugary foods, carbs and takeaway. I get through 2 weeks of eating really well and then I lose control.I've already listened to your podcasts on breaking habits, I've identified my triggers and avoid them when I can, and also replace the actions with healthier ones. But sometimes there is no trigger. I can be eating really well, no stress, feeling great and all of a sudden I'll get the compulsion to eat something I shouldn't. I use all my training to remain on track with my eating, such as mindfulness, meditation, distraction but can't get past this. It's the biggest blockage to my getting well. Any ideas? Help! Thanks in advance.

Anonymous: Hi dr Cabral :)Here is my question: would love to know what our thoughts.Can you change your body type? I assume no, however I had eating disorders/OCD for many years since I was 13 so my body never fully developed. I am 18 now, and slowly getting to a healthy body weight. When trying to figure out my body type, many of the questions I don't know if I answer truthfully for me at the moment, or me back when I was 12-13?Such as, I have a small frame at the moment, small wrists, weak digestion, often anxious, can get irritable and can't miss a meal. However this never used to be the case from what I can remember: was very easily going, had strong legs, wider hips than my friends, easily miss a meal so wouldn't effect me at all.So... would that mean my body type has changed..? As I would like to determine what lifestyle and foods would be best for me. Thank you! Love love your work. (Unfortunately I cant afford any labs/products especially with $Aud conversion rate and shipping but I am saving up!)Anonymous

Dianne: Hi Stephen,Thanks for your informative podcast sessions. I love them. You have helped a friend of mine after I asked your advice. She has ordered one of your labs. Please stay safe over there.My question is about coconut oil. A friend has a heart condition together with lupus and he is recovering from hepatitis which he obtained through a blood transfusion. His cardiologist has forbidden him from having any coconut product. I have always had coconut oil, cream, milk, flour, sugar and was taught it was a healthy alternative. His Dr has said that coconut products makes your cholesterol sticky therefore causing a chance of blocking. Can you enlighten me please as to whether coconut products are good for youRegards and thank you.Dianne

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:

Cody: Hi Dr Cabral. Do you have any tips on recovering from a c-section? My wife is scheduled for her 3rd and we're looking to minimize the negative effects of the antibiotics.

Sandra: Dear doctor Cabral,I've been a regular listener for many years and my health has clearly changed for the better because I've implemented so much of your incredible advice. Therefore I wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart. You are really making a huge difference out here.I wanted to ask your opinion on the following: I'm a 43 year old, healthy female and recently I did a hormone test which showed that all my hormones are on a very low side. They are in a good balance relative to eachother (no estrogen dominance), but still very low. That makes sense, because my periods are coming about once every 2 months. My naturopathic doctor mentioned using progesterone cream and natural hormone replacement, but I feel that I'm too young for that. Therefore I wanted to ask for some advice on lifestyle changes to help me get the hormones up.I eat whole food plant-based diet, work out regularly (weights and walking), do 16:8 IF, meditate. No thyroid problems (checked that), and I use B and D vitamins, zinc and omega 3's to supplement my plant-based diet. I do have some gut issues, which I'm currently working on (parasites).Any advice would be MUCH appreciated!Thanks again for everything that you do!Sandra

Jen: I am not sure if this is the right spot to share our story. Here it goes. My 45 year old husband has been dealing with chronic pain in the feet. It began 12 years ago and has slowly progressed into more widespread pain. We have spent thousands of dollars to find the reason to no avail. It seems like most doctors are brushing it off. He has seen a rheumatologist, pain specialist and neurologist. He has had a gamut of tests done all of which were normal. He just underwent an autonomic test which was normal. He had a CT scan of the brain which showed areas of demyelination but we were told this is normal for his age. His pain has now progressed to his hands and basically his whole body. We have no answers. He sits with three pillows under his butt. He has a neck pillow and wears gloves on his hands.We don't know what to do.Jen

Haley: I truly appreciate your passion for educating the world through your podcast - thank YOU!! I recently found you and have been loving your podcast. As a new customer, I completed a 14-day detox and have started the CBO protocol. After I complete the CBO protocol, is it important to do an intestinal cleanse before starting the CBO finisher? I have regular bowel movements (extremely rare constipation) on a daily basis so please let me know your thoughts about the necessity of an intestinal cleanse after the CBO protocol and before the CBO finisher. If it's not necessary, I'd rather invest in other products, such as continuing the CBO finisher for longer than 30 days. On that topic, is 30, 60, or 90 days on the CBO finisher recommended for optimal results? Thank you for your time and honesty!!

Jess: Greetings Stephen, I am a new listener and was hoping to get your insight on my rather laundry list of symptoms. It all began about 2 years ago when I started getting frequent headaches (behind my eyes, tension, top of head, and full blown migraine) and occurrences of nausea. My TSH came back high and have since been put on levothyroxine which I think has helped the headaches. What has not died down is frequent occurrences of 1) nausea or 2) a feeling of acid in the back of my throat or stomach (not the feeling of heartburn in the chest). I may feel fine for a week or two and then all of a sudden get these nauseous feelings or the feeling of acid in my throat/belly multiple times a day for days to weeks. These symptoms seem to occur randomly but are sometimes worse at night and prevent me from sleeping. At times I think its due to anxiety in that I am anxious to go somewhere for fear of these symptoms happening. However, frequently these symptoms occur when nothing stressful going on. I have cut out major sources of gluten and that has seemed to help some, but overall these symptoms have persisted. I am wondering if you think this could be really bad anxiety or could be instances of IBS, h pylori, sibo, parasite, or anything else. Looking forward to hearing back from you

The muscles that are the fastest to deteriorate and begin to sag are those that we use the least (especially the glutes)...

And as we move into adulthood sitting down and moving less becomes more prominent...

Plus, as hormones begin to slide along with poor diet choices this can be a recipe for disaster when it comes to muscle tone and strength...

That's why on today's #CabralConcept 1658 I'd like to share with you a quick workout consisting of 3 kettlebell exercises to transform your backside - Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought!
