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:

Andrea: Good evening! I have been listening to your podcast for months now and am so thankful for them! Each episode is jam packed with information to optimize my health and teach me so I can share with others. I am a personal trainer and have been approached by people who take and sell Isagenix Products. I am not sure if you have heard of this line, but wanted to get your thoughts on the products. Thank you so much in advance! -Andrea

Lily: Hi Dr. Cabral! I absolutely love your podcast - especially the house calls. There are so many different subjects you tackle, and it's so great that you give reference to specific episodes if listeners want to know more about them. I've learned so much from you, and can't thank you enough for that. Now, I have a health question which I hope you can help with: my problem is that I feel bloated, look 6 months pregnant and have flatulence almost after every meal. I'm 39 years old and have had this problem for maybe 10-15 years. I've been vegan for 5 years now, don't eat gluten or sugar, have regular bowel movement every morning and I work out 5-6 days a week, do yoga, not really stressing out too much. I only eat raw foods (fruit) in the morning, in my smoothie. Cutting dairy and gluten has helped a little bit, but it's still pretty bad. I also do intermittent fasting, use probiotics and digestive enzymes, but nothing is helping :( Other than PCOS, I don't have any health conditions that I'm aware of. So, what do you think is the problem? What's would be the best thing to try to get better? I live in the Netherlands, so can't order any of your tests unfortunately, but any advice on how to start treating this would be MUCH appreciated. Thanks so much in advance!

Thomas: Hello Dr. Cabral I love your podcast. I am a 43 year old male 6'2" 175 eat very healthy gluten free a and exercise almost daily in some form. I have had a blood test and was told my HEMOGLOBIN A1C was 5.7 a bit high. Like I said I eat very healthy and even have a very low sugar diet. I went on a 30 day NO sugar diet and did the test again. I had the same exact results they did not budge. I then decided to test my blood sugar on my own through out the day. Before and after meals, early in the morning and everything came out great. Very good readings. So my question is should I be concerned that my HEMOGLOBIN A1C is 5.7 and can not be able to change that? For the record my parents and one of my sisters also has the same exact reading 5.7. If there is anything you think I should do please let me know. Thanks Thomas

Michael: Stephen: I have been experiencing inflammation in either of my eyes for the last 24 months. I went to primary care and an eye doctor who called the issue "episcleritis". Frequency was either eye being inflamed every 60 days or so. Doctor prescribed an artificial tear product that didnt seem to change the frequency. They tested for rheumatoid arthritis and did not find anything. Last May, I added a daily multi-vitamin and an extra C tablet to my regimen. I went 6 months before I had a recurrence...since then I have had several days of redness/inflammation/pain in either eye. Is there another recommendation besides the continued increase of vitamin intake (preventive)? I typically double up in vitamin C and take ibuprofen during the inflammation events. Is there another recommendation for treatment during the event? Appreciate your podcast...heard you on EOFire and appreciated your approach/insight. Thanks. MLC

Angelita: I am 63, 5'6" , 140lbs. Exercise on a very regular basis. Love my smoothies, eat well and exclude anything white in my diet. Am on medication for cholesterol, blood pressure and Paxil. I am confident that these meds could have been avoided if I had been more informed of diet when I was younger. Throughout the last 40 years, I have been always physically active and hope to continue. I just discovered your insightful podcasts. I am truly confused whether I need to take multi-vitamins. There are so many out there. What do you recommend for someone my age? II live in Quebec, Canada and our winters are quite long. Do I need a mineral boost throughout this season? Thank you.

In order for you to get well, lose weight, improve your mood, and wake up everyday with plenty of energy your hormones must be optimized and balanced...

If they're not, that's when we start to see a decline in cognitive ability, mood, metabolism, and being able to maintain a healthy weight...

The good news is that it's very easy to look at which hormones may be out of balance and how they could be effecting other systems in your body that cause you to either gain weight, feel sluggish, or decrease your energy...

Typically, we make the mistake in life about assuming that finding a coach is reserved just for those athletes looking to improve in their sport...

However, finding a local coach, virtual mentor, or proven plan can be used in any area of your life in order to enhance your performance in an area that you want to improve...

The reason why this can be so powerful is that having an experienced coach can shortcut your time to getting results and save you a lot of the stress along the way to achieving your goals...

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!

Carla: Hi Dr. Cabral, I have a question about these small (1/16th to 1/8th inch), flat topped, skin coloured, bumps on the back of my hands. I've had them since early spring and I've been to my naturopath about them, but they are persistent and don't seem to be responding to treatment. He said they were a virus of some sort and recommended putting tea tree oil on them. When I first started the tea tree oil they seemed to respond by bringing larger painful ones to the surface (they are not normally painful). But after that they have seemed to stop responding and come and go as they please, sometimes lasting for months. The painful ones are gone and now they are just skin coloured bumps again. They are staying on the backs of my hands, with one or two by the wrist or first joint of finger. I've minimized tea tree oil use as it's made my skin raw and picking them off just makes them grow back. I've spent hours trying to find similar photos online of this condition but have had no luck. I was thinking they could be from weightlifting gloves I wear at the gym, although I stopped wearing them after they started. Any suggestions on treating this would be much appreciated, thank you! Carla

Jen: Hi Dr. Cabral My question is regarding my neck. It seems to go out a lot and I have to go to the Chiropractor on a regular basis. Sometimes its as simple as reaching for something, that seems to put it out. When I asked my Chiropractor, he said that stress can cause the same ones to go out. On my last visit, he found that my Atlas and L-2 were out, which was causing horrible headaches. I really want to do my weight workout but I'm afraid of pulling my neck out of place again from lifting the weights to do bicep curls or fly's. Do you know what might cause this to happen so often and is there any way to strengthen my neck to prevent this from continuing? Also, can you give me any tips on proper stance when doing bicep curls so that I prevent injury? Much appreciate any advise. Thank you Jen

Donna: Thank You Dr. Cabral for all you do to help people live healthy! I listened to Episode 286 on water filters. We have well water a long with a water softener using salt pellets. We do use the counter top Berky for drinking water. Is the water softener & salt pellets a problem and if so, what do you suggest? Do you recommend Berky shower head, Culligan, or Aqua Bliss for well water? Also, we will be going out of state for vacation, what do you recommend for our family for clean water? What about a water filtered bottle and what kind/brand? Thank You, Donna C.

Donna: Dr. Cabral, I am 51 year young lady and a friend strongly suggests I take Jon Lee's ProgesterAll natural balance progesterone cream. She says it prevents cancer, osteoporosis, and balances hormones. My Chiropractor/nutritionist says the product is good but doesn't see the need for me to take it now and I don't know of any symptoms that would show I do or what they would be. He wants me to continue to eat healthy, exercise, and think well. What do you say and are we ideally not suppose to need this at any point in age? Also, are you familiar with the Eat Well, Move Well, Think Well Lifestyle Wellness Corp. certification through James Chestnut? There are not many wellness Drs. in the US with that certification but I was able to take the course through my Drs. (being the only two Drs. in MO) and it's really been helpful. Respectfully, Donna C.

Nikki: Anonymous question: I do a coffee enema 2-3 times per week. Is there a need for any other type of detox? Thanks for the info!

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:

Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral, I'm a long time listener and have used some of your tests and products. I truly appreciate everything you do. My question for you is about my recent food sensitivity test results. Out of the three levels of reactivity (high, moderate, mild), I was moderately high for dairy and moderate for 22 other foods, such as nuts, gluten, green beans, peas, soy, coconut, and eggs. This seems like a lot of foods to have a sensitivity to so I'm wondering if I should do your SIBO/Candida protocol a 2nd time (did it earlier this year) in case I have SIBO/Candida issues again or if I have to just omit these foods for a while to give my body a rest. As always, appreciate any insights you can share on how best to move forward.

Zoe: hi Dr Cabral, another question for you to kindly answer - i wondered if you had any thoughts how to manage a combination of rosacea and rayneuds (as, they appear to me, to be equal and opposites) - ie what is good for rayneuds - like saunas, keeping warm, spices - is bad for rosacea. Thanks, as always. Zoe

Jenmarie: Hi Dr. Cabral, I am trying to figure out my body type and what diet works best for my body type. I am 5'6" weigh about 135 lbs, my shoulders are as wide as my hips, Smaller breasts, long neck, and If I put my middle finger and thumb around my wrist, my thumb overlaps my middle finger. Can you tell me what body type this is and recommend what diet I can benefit from the best? I am training for a marathon as well so I want to feel and look my best. Thank you so much for all your advise. Jenmarie

Jenett: Hello Dr. Cabral, Over the past month, I have been feeling increasingly fatigued, have had a lot of headaches, neck pain and overall weakness. I had blood work done and found I am low on Iron but I've been taking it for a while now, with little improvement. I try to drink coffee to give me an alert boost but it doesn't help much. As much as I love coffee, it doesn't love me, as It never fails that I breakout after drinking it for more than once a week. Why is this, and what could all of these symptoms be a sign of? IS there a test I could run to determine what is going on? Many thanks, Jenett

Kelly: Hello Dr. Cabral. I love your podcast and listen every day! I am a 31 year old female that has suffered from on-again/off-again bulimia since I was 15. The root of my bulimia has always been my desire to lose weight. I am VERY pear-shaped (medium sized on the top, very large in the hips, thighs, and butt) and have always been overweight despite infinite futile attempts, which always leads me back to bulimia. Two questions- FIRST QUESTION: Can you speak to why some women have such large bottom halfs? I have been taking DIM, Calcium D-Glucarate, adrenal support herbs, extremely clean vegan diet, as well as progesterone cream on days 14-28 of my cycle to try to balance out my hormones after blood tests revealed almost non-existent progesterone levels and average to above-average estradiol levels. SECOND QUESTION: What are the long term effects of bulimia? I have always suspected that my bulimia habit is working against my weight loss efforts due to an insulin rollercoaster. Thank you for your time!

Katie: I love all the tips and education you share, thank you! My question is about what could cause areas of my body to "fall asleep" During a yoga flow? I know it typically has something to do with circulation but I'm moving and breathing yet seem to be the only one in my class that constantly has to come out of a pose to "shake" the tingling feeling in my legs, arms & back. I've asked a couple of my teachers and mentioned it to other students and they were confused - like they'd never heard of that before. It happens a lot when I sleep, too, but that seems more normal. Is this an indication of a problem that the "google dr" just doesn't know about?
