The Cabral Concept

Lately, you may have seen social media posts warning that Ashwagandha should not be used long-term-

But, with Ashwagandha being one of Ayurvedic's most popular herbs that's been used for 6,000 years are these online guru statements actually true?

On today's show, I'll break down what science, lab testing, and thousands of years of Ayurvedic use really says about Ashwagandha.

I'll also share how it can be helpful, who it benefits, who should avoid it, and how to personalize your supplement choices for the best results.

Join me on today's Cabral Concept 3483 as we go over the new controversy and find out if Ashwagandha is right for you.

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…

Sophie: I have heard that you recommend Wild Yam Cream for hormonal issues - can you tell me more about the product? Roman: Hi Dr. Cabral, I was just listening to your podcast where you listed all the different types of magnesium and their specific benefits. I really appreciated the breakdown — but I was surprised that you didn't mention sucrosomal magnesium. Is there a specific reason why it was left out? From what I understand, it's considered one of the most absorbable forms available. I've been using it for over a year now (about 300 mg before bed), and it seems to work really well for me.Just curious to hear your thoughts on this form, since I respect your approach and depth of research.Thanks so much — take care! John: Hi doc huge fan. I'm in my 50s and have thinning hair I already take your hair support but I wanted to know since I don't have money for the higher dose hat that you recommend would the red light panel from my therasage sauna have the same affect putting it on my head thanks Larissa: Hello Dr. Cabral thank you for providing so many answers to hard to answer problems. My question is how can I reset my sense of smell. I lost my sense of taste and smell after COVID for at least a year. It slowly came back, but some tastes and smells were very different than I remembered. My main problem is that I smell chemicals much stronger, so things like comercial soaps and perfumes are very unappealing to me. I have eliminated all offensive products from my use, but I can't tell other people what they should use. Is there a way to tame down my sensitivity to these strong offending smells? Thank you, Lorrie Ashley: Hi Dr Cabral, you are an inspiration and thank you for all that you do. I am an IHP1 and busy eith IHP 2 aiming to change career paths sometime in the near future. My question is about my son, he has had nervous system dystegulation since birth with what i would call sensory processing issues. He is now 7 and has a lot of anxiety, dark thoughts and mood swings. I came across retained reflexes and found a practitioner to help him with this as he has many retained reflexes (Dr Mellilio method). I have not seen any show on this topic and was wandering your thoughts and if you could consider covering this topic in a future show? my side question is on the heavy metal detox: What foods have successfully masked the taste of the protocol especially the universal binder for your daughters? Thanks!

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:

Bryce: Hi Dr. Cabral! I'm a newer listener but have spent all year trying to reverse my plethora of health issues. I'm sick of spending thousands of dollars on supplements and tests and going down different rabbit holes. But I've seen all the specialists, done functional meds, lots of labs and still have not seen any resolve. My main issues being nail psoriasis (the worst any doctor has seen) and lots of bloat and digestive issues. I can give you more detail but think my issues are nervous system and autoimmune based as I have type one diabetes and lymphocytic colitis as well. I'm only 29 and getting married soon and just hoping to get my body better aligned with how I treat it. I eat super healthy, weightlift, but cannot lose the bloat and need to feel better soon. Help please! Jackie: Hi Dr. Cabral thank you for all that you and your team do - I can't express enough how much you have changed my life and my clients. I have a question regarding nerve pain, my husband has TOS and we are persueing everything we can nutritionally/orthopedically. Could you provide us an update on your experience with red light - the Joov specifically? Are there any other passive modalities that you know clinically impact nerve pain that can be done from home? For context heath/cold/palpation all make the nerve pain much more prominent. Jess: Hi and thank you for all you do! Ever since Covid and Moderna I have a sun allergy. It took me 6 months to get over Covid 4 years ago, I'm 95% better other than my skin. It seems Moderna is well-linked to first time PLME. How can I fix this? I've laid out in the sun all of my life and now I can't do 10 minutes without a rash. Larissa: Hello! I have some questions about parasites for beginners. I've done the GI map stool test that was negative for parasites. However, I have many symptoms consistent with parasitic infections and hear that most tests are not accurate. Do you have a test you recommend for parasites in the gut? Is there a different test to check for parasitic infections in the brain? As far as treatment, I did food sensitivity tests and have significant intolerance to wormwood. Can you recommend an alternative? Is it worth treating if there is high suspicion or should you confirm with testing? I'm an adult but I have the same questions for toddlers. Thank you so much! Lari: Hello, I have a 5yr old niece with tines versicilor. I'm wondering how she could have developed this? Interestingly enough, her 8 yr old brother had moloscum contsgiosum about 2yrs ago and 6yr old brother developed absent seizures around that time after a trip to sea world. Could this be related? Also, how would you treat tines versicolor in a 5yr old girl? Thank you Dr Cabral! Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community's 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…

Cristi: Hi Dr. Cabral, thanks for all you do and your amazing, well researched supplement line. What do you think about oral supplementation of high molecular weight hyaluronic acid for joint support as we age and things like osteoarthritis? Do you think there are better things to take, or if we are taking/doing the basic things you recommend, is this worth adding to the mix, or is it a waste of money? Thank you!

Ali: Hello, I have a son who was born with multiple heart defects- AV Canal, mitral valve prolapse, and coarctation of the aorta. He had 3 open heart surgeries before the age of 1 to fix these issues, and by the hands of some amazing surgeons and the grace of God, he is now 16 years old and hasn't needed another surgery in the past 15 years. But because of his heart history, it has been recommended that anytime he has dental work done- even just a routine cleaning, that he take an antibiotic an hour beforehand. I cringe every time I have to give it cause I know of the ill effects. I've heard you say you don't want to take an antibiotic unless it's life saving... would you consider this one of those times? Or do you think it's overly conservative to take an antibiotic for prevention?

Anonymous: hi Dr Cabral. I have a Moringa tree growing in my backyard. Just wondering how you recommend to use the leaves and are they able to be eaten daily? I have dried the leaves before made a powder. Would this be recommended to have daily in a smoothie? Have you also heard of soursop and using leaves to make a tea? Thank you ☺️

Anonymous: hi Dr. Cabral. I am more of the vata body type and play sport (tennis/ netball) at night time a couple nights a week. I sometimes have trouble winding down, I love these sports as I work from home and love getting out to see people. Do you have any tips on how to wind down and what would be the typical workout week for a vata - pita body type wanting to gain muscle but not overdo it. Would three days gym, two days light Pilates or yoga plus walking everyday and sport be too much? Thank you

Patrick: Hey dr. What do you think about shockwave therapy and do you recommend any of the ones that are available online thanks

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!
