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:

Susie: My son is level 1 ASD. He is very high functioning and attends mainstream school. His main issue is his rigid thinking which leads to mis-reading situations and this has a great impact on him socially. He is liked by his peers but is socially excluded and as a 16 year old boy this is tough. We have done years of therapy but are in the same boat regarding this issue…do you have any advice/protocols that may help him if this is a gut/brain issue that effects any potential thoughts or behaviour? He does well academically, is loved and respected by teachers and has recently been elected by his peers and teachers to be a prefect. This situation is very confusing for us as the lack of real friends and social interactions doesn't make sense to us. Please help if you can Andie: Hi Stephen, I just wanted to thank you for the incredible podcast and everything you continue to share. I've learned so much from you over the years. I'm hoping you might have some insight on a health issue I'm trying to figure out. My hs-CRP recently came back at 46.7 mg/L, after previously being 6.4 mg/L and 0.2 mg/L before that. I follow a very clean, whole-food diet and take your foundational supplements, including Omega-3, DNS, and Vitamin D3 + K2. I've also completed the CBO and Heavy Metals programs. I do have Type 1 diabetes, although my A1C is around 5.1%. Do you have any recommendations for what I should investigate or consider to identify the cause of such a high CRP? Thank you again for all the work you do! Willow: Hello Dr. Cabral! I just recently discovered your podcast and was listening to an episode where you cover the topic of sea moss. I was inclined to begin taking it before, but after you mentioned there being plenty of other more beneficial products to take, I reconsidered. I'm curious what your top 10 recommended products would be to start taking? I am young teenager and am wanting to prioritize my overall health. Thank you so much for your time and attention! Missy: What is your take on high oxalate foods? I feel they affect may people and should be avoided however your smoothies and food plans suggest many of those foods Hope you talk about this Bob: In one of your YouTube videos you stated that Nattokinase doesn't help everyone and you would tell who it doesn't help and why, but I missed what you said about who it doesn't help and why? 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! - - -

How fit do you really need to be to support a longer, healthier life? New research is bringing more attention to the connection between physical fitness and longevity, and there's more to this relationship than body weight or how much you can lift. On today's show, I'm breaking down what the latest research can tell us about fitness, aging, and long-term health. I'll also share why cardiovascular fitness deserves attention, how everyday movement can play a role, and what you can do to build a stronger foundation for longevity without needing to train like an elite athlete. So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3891 to find out what your fitness level may reveal about your long-term health and why cardio may deserve a bigger place in your routine.

The number on the scale can change dramatically from one day to the next, but that doesn't always mean your body composition has changed. There are several everyday factors that can cause temporary changes on the scale, and understanding what's really behind those fluctuations can help you better interpret your progress. On today's show, I'm breaking down why you can suddenly weigh three to five pounds more in a day and what may actually be happening inside your body. I'll also share how to identify your personal triggers, why women may notice greater fluctuations at certain points in their cycle, and the best way to track your true baseline when working toward a healthy weight. So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3890 to find out why the scale can change so quickly and how to stop letting normal weight fluctuations derail your progress.

Hair loss can be frustrating, especially when many of the current approaches focus on managing the problem rather than addressing what may be happening at the follicle level. New research is exploring some fascinating possibilities for supporting hair regrowth by looking at the biology of the hair follicle in a different way. On today's show, I'm breaking down a recent study that generated some surprising results and sharing what researchers are discovering about the mechanisms that may influence hair growth. I'll also explain why the findings are promising but still very early, what needs to happen before these approaches can be tested more extensively, and why I believe we may see significant advances in hair-loss treatments over the coming years. So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3889 as we take a closer look at some of the most exciting new research into hair loss and the future of hair regrowth.

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…

Anonymous: I was wondering what the minimum amount of gluten and minimum amount of days is to eat before taking a celiac test. I heard only 2 weeks instead of 6 will work. I get bad brain fog so can't take the test if it's 6 weeks. Thank you!

S: Hi Dr. Cabral. I recently learned about Safe Catch Tuna. I know normally it is important to limit tuna consumption due to mercury accumulating in the fish. I'm just wondering if this brand truly makes it any safer to consume tuna a bit more often? They have different varieties of tuna such as albacore and skipjack if the type of tuna matters (If it does could you clarify why?).

Holly: Hi Dr. C, the past 6 months ive begun struggling with massive fatigue that hits about 3pm. I complete the seasonal detox, ive done CBO and eat well (including rarely any sugar)… ive changed nothing (apart from starting the gym, lifting weights). I'm 42 and have tried tracking my symptoms to my cycle- and I mostly get fatigued in the first week-2 after my period and a day or 2 before. I'm 42, have an autoimmune condition (alopecia areata that I had rebalanced /regrown but developed another patch a few months ago). Is this perimenopause? What can I do to rebalance my hormones naturally? Note I'm not currently in a financial postion to do any functional testing. Thank you

Susan: Hi Dr Cabral, I'm new to the community and appreciate all that you do. I'm a whole food plant-based eater and eat mostly organic food when possible. Recently I experienced bouts of diarrhea for about 2 weeks before showing improvement over the next two weeks. I didn't want to take over the counter medicine, so I let it run its course. I had no other symptoms. What could I have done to treat this? Thanks for your help.

Erin: I have had 2 c-sections and 2 years ago had a hernia repair and abdominal repair at the same time. For about a year now i have had an area below the diaphragm that is so tight and bloats most of the time. I went to a myofascial specialist and she said that area is full of scar tissue from the repair (it was the start of the abdominal repair in that area) and it was holding so much water. She said the way my c-sections were done it blocked my lymphatic drainage. So i will be doing some weekly work with her but what else can I do to breakdown all that tissue. I am so miserable so often from it. Thank you for your help.

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:

Dana: I'm a 42 year old woman in perimenopause. During the middle part of my cycle, around when ovulation should be happening, I notice that my urine has a very strong smell compared to the rest of my cycle. This lasts about a week. I'm not dehydrated and I don't eat anything differently during this time than I do any other time of the month. This has been going on monthly for at least 6 months but probably closer to a year or more. Is there any cause for concern? What could be causing this? Is this something that can be expected with hormone fluctuations, and if so, why would it have started now but not been going on the rest of my life? Anonymous: I'm in perimenopause and working with a functional medicine doctor who determined that all 3 of my sex hormones were low. She has put me on several supplements including Pregnenolone. After taking the supplements I noticed that I was experiencing joint pain while not having changed anything else diet or exercise wise. After some removing and adding back I determined that it is the pregnenolone that is causing the joint pain, she finds it very odd. What reasons would this be happening? I live in a country where I can't order your supplements, what would be the best things to take to help boost hormones if I can't take pregnenolone? Anonymous: Hi Dr CaBral! I recently got my IUD out due to constant spotting and some news about family getting cancer from years of hormone replacement. After having one for many years on and off, I thought it best to let my body just get back to it's natural state. I did a 7day detox and started taking progesterone support for a month after. After 3 months my cycles have returned back to normal, but I've started losing my hair, have dry skin and just dragging all the time now. My chiropractor/naturopath muscle tested and ovaries were not optimal at all, thyroid was a 2 out of 10, my system is showing blocked and my body is having a hard time detoxing on it's own. Overall I'm very healthy and was not having issues until now. I don't have the money to test right now. What can I do to get back on track? Mackenzie: About a year and a half ago, I started getting what seems to be eczema flare ups around my eyes, specifically my eyelids and outer corners of my eyes. When it flares up, my eyelids become red, swollen, itchy and watery. The skin becomes thick and very dry and flakey. Around the time it began, I did move into a new building, and my partner has noticed a spot on his neck similar to what I get around my eyes. It seems to flare up more when I eat too much sugar/gluten, but I also sometimes have flares when I don't eat those things. Recently it has only flared when I have a virus, ie a cold/flu or HSV outbreak. I'm an IHP1, and recently completed the Vita-Min Tox test and the only thing noted was slightly high aluminum levels which I am working on. What do you rec. I focus on next? Thank you!! Anonymous: Hello Dr.Cabral, hope you are well. Regular viewer of your weekly ask cabral content. Not asking for medical advice but wanting to support my immune system during immunotherapy for my liver. They mention potential autoimmune side effects, I know your releasing a new resource or course regarding cancer. Hoping you touch on Immunotherapy on it. I read your research page. It was very extensive and helpful. 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! - - -

The carbohydrates you eat may have more to do with your waistline than you think. Resistant starch is a unique type of carbohydrate that may affect how your body processes food, supports gut health, and manages blood sugar. On today's show, I'm breaking down the research behind resistant starch and what it may mean for visceral fat and metabolic health. I'll also share some simple ways to incorporate more of this into your daily routine and how it can work alongside other healthy habits to support your long-term results. So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3884 where I share how resistant starch may be one more tool for reducing belly fat and improving metabolic health.
