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:

Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral! I'm convinced I have lipedema. I haven't been to the Dr to confirm yet. My torso, arms & legs all feel like I have grainy/pebbly texture beneath the skin. My knees have a weird "fat pad" on the side. I listened to another show where you mentioned lipedema, & I thought you said you have been able to help people reverse it. All of my research says it's incurable, but can manage it and calm swelling and pain, but the nodular fat will not go away without lipo. My questions are: are you familiar with any other scenario where texture I feel on myself as I described is normal? Or is that pebbly feeling always lipedema? Have you actually seen people get rid of the nodular lipedema fat & heal completely? Or just reduce swelling, pain & normal fat?Diet advice for this condition? Thanks Anonymous: Dr C! Thank you for all you do! I am a 52 yr old post menopausal female, who is pretty healthy, dove into your supplements and detox about 1 yr now. Recently I had normal labs taken by my MD with the results of my alanine aminotransferase (SGPT), serum slighty elevated from last year (range 10-34, mine was 53, last year it was 35). Negative for hepatitis, not a drinker, cholesterol is good, weigh 110 at 5'2, Ultrasound also showed a healthy liver...could it be certain supplements? Thanks in advance! PS have done the 7 day detox 3x now and will do again in May Anonymous: Hey Dr Cabral....Love listening to you daily! Question ... how important is taking creatine if you are in menopause? Want to maintain healthy muscles whiles strength training but not really a fan about how I hear it may bloat you. Thanks for all you do! Anonymous: I recently completed my 2nd DNAge test, included in my HPH membership. I was shocked to receive the results indicating that based on my methylation value, l aged an additional 6 years in 8 months! I basically follow Dr. Cabral's lifestyle recommendations to the letter. I eat a primarily Mediterranean diet, detox 4 times a year, sauna, resistance and cardio train, prioritize sleep, PEMF mat, minimal to no alcohol, and practice meditation and mindfulness. Additionally, I do the Big 5 four times per year. The only 2 things I have changed in the time between tests is that I have eliminated a very low dose of estrogen and progesterone that I was prescribed for post menopausal symptoms and I have added cold plunge 3 times per week. I am 63 years old. Please advise. Emily: My partner 23 (M) has recently started experiencing debilitating anxiety. This is not normal for him and he has not experienced anxiety like this before or at all. He was sick this last month with a 104 degree fever and for a few weeks was experiencing skin sensitivity in certain spots. What would you recommend in helping navigate this new anxiety and help him start feeling "normal" again. Kay: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thanks so much for your great podcasts- I look forward to them every week. My question is: what are your thoughts on the use of testosterone to help post-menopausal women maintain muscle mass and bone health as well as hypoactive sexual desire disorder? My physician is recommending a small amount of a compounded formulation of testosterone to be injected in the subcutaneous skin layer every 10 days. Are there any less invasive and more natural ways to achieve the same benefits that you would recommend? I have heard that testosterone is a controlled substance and I am wondering if it could potentially cause side effects such as hair loss on the head and hair growth in unwanted areas. Thank you.

Statistics show that 1 in 3 people will receive a cancer diagnosis in their lifetime... But the good news is that your body holds a powerful built-in defense: natural killer (NK) and T cells that help identify and destroy abnormal cells before they can spread. On today's show, I'll share why these immune cells are your first line of defense against cancer and how simple diet, lifestyle, and supplement strategies can help boost their activity naturally. So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3401 to learn how to activate your natural killer, anti-cancer cells. Enjoy the show and let me know your thoughts!

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…

Esmira: Hello, Can low cholesterol be an issue. I eat primarily low fat white fish with lots of vegetables and exercise daily. My cholesterol is below the reference range. I don't eat much fat and am wondering if I should be concerned about the low cholesterol? Thank you Nikolina: Dear Dr. Cabral, do you have any information on how to ged rid of fibroids in the breast. Since I got my second child I have one which does not stop growing. It is growing much slower since I do intermittent fasting, but I was wondering why do I always get them in my breast. Is my body missing something (I used to have them since I am 25 but they all stoped growing at 1 cm, and now they are even smaller. This one has a sensitive hormon receptor the doctor said. I was wondering why do I get fibrocystic breast changes breast changes. In Traditional Chinese Medicine they say fibroadenoma is caused by mucus. Emily: Hi Steven. Thank you so much for all you do! I am curious, I have the slow COMT gene snp. I have been told to avoid supplements such as quercetin and rhodiola as they can effectively slow down COMT even further. I'm interested in the histpro supplement for seasonal allergies but I see quercitin is one of the top ingredients. Do you have any other suggestions for allergy products or could you please shed some light on quercetin for slow com? Also with slow comt, would fasting be contraindicated as adrenaline is released while fasting, which is the opposite of what we want and would further bog down comt? Thanks so much for your input! Best wishes Leora: My 4 year old was diagnosed with enamel hypoplasia. What could have caused this? The dentist said it could have been a result of illness during pregnancy (I had covid and a fever at 36 weeks pregnant). I would like to avoid this with my future pregnancies and children if possible. He received silver caps on his teeth. Are these dangerous for him? Will this lead to heavy metals in his blood stream. Of course, every dentist I asked said no, but I wonder if they learn about this during their studies. He also received large amounts of antibiotics as a child (age 1.5 years to 3 years) due to a misdiagnosis of neutropenia. Could this have impacted his teeth? Cristina: Dr. Cabral, thank you for your generosity and support and for helping so many people looking for answers. My question is related to the effectiveness of Prenuvo brain scan (as a part of the whole body scan) compared to Dr. Amen's brain scan. Do you know if they provide the same valuable information on issues with the brain or are they different? I have a child on the spectrum and was wondering if the Prenuvo scan would help me identify issues that my child might have, such as brain damage as well as whole body issues. Also, is there a treatment plan recommended by Prenuvo after the scan is performed. Thank you!

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:

Kellie: Hi Dr. Cabral! I have been with your program for almost 6 months now. I have completed the Vit-Tox tests and have gone through the FM Detox twice and now going through the CBO Protocol. I just turned 38 years old and I feel like my joints are of an 80 year old. I have played soccer since age 5 and still play on a competitive coed league to this day. I have played many other team/contact sports in the past. I have had past ankle, knee, and hip injuries due to sports and I do see possible knee and hip replacements in my future. When I do my daily workouts or go up/down stairs my ankles, knees, hips, and back crack or pop so easily and so much. I don't see glucosamine chondroitin as a supplement in your shop. Are there any suggestions you may have to keep my joints healthier? Thank you!! Jon: Hey Dr Cabral, looking for advice and i feel like there's a population that struggles with this same topic. My Dr is recommending a statin due to my high LDL-C of 230. My LDL has gone up after cleaning up my diet in the last 7 months however ALL of my markers tested for have improved. Triglycerides have gone from over 200 to 100, HDL is up to 60, VLDL has dropped from 30 to 15, A1C is 5.2, blood pressure is normal for the first time ever, and so onr. My personal opinion is that i'm healthier than ever and i can't imagine having to go on what seems like a lifetime drug due to one marker being off and i don't buy the story that LDL alone is a concern for me. Curious on your opinion here and if you think i have something to worry about. Thanks!! Annette: I've been diagnosed with nephrocalcinosis by conventional doctors who say the cause is genetic. I have adjusted my diet to low sodium, low oxalate foods. The doctors say my next step is to try to get on the kidney transplant list before I need dialysis. I take potassium citrate and a calcitriol. Is there anything I can do to improve my kidney function? Summer: Hi Dr. Cabral! I heard you say that it's best to replace aluminum cookware, but not necessary, and instead to use parchment paper as a barrier. Doesn't the aluminum off gas when heated? How does parchment paper prevent the aluminum from getting into the food? Thanks! By the way, to all my fellow listeners: please contact your state representatives and let them know you do not consent to geo-engineering in your skies. Several states have now banned it. We could all live healthier lives if we could work toward eliminating toxins and heavy metals including aluminum that are regularly being sprayed into our air. Ann: Thank you Dr Cabral- you are changing SO many lives - thank you for all of your wisdom and teachings:) I have a question about Magnesium. My cortisol was high at my last lab test, and I took Full Spectrum magnesium for 12 weeks, and now I take Cal Mag daily. I also understand that I can take Calming Magnesium and CBD at night to help with sleep.I don't want to take too much for too long for my body, but I still think I need the help for my cortisol levels/ sleep. What combination of the above do you recommend? Is there a length of time that is too long to be on Full Spectrum Magnesium? PS. I do the 3-2-1 protocol, take Adrenal Soothe and will be repeating my big 5 this fall. Thank you again! 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! - - -

A question I hear all the time is: "How can I boost my testosterone naturally?" What's surprising is that nearly 30% of men are showing lower-than-expected testosterone levels for their age and this trend is happening in younger men more than ever before. Today, I'm diving into the science of how exercise can help raise your testosterone naturally and how to approach it in a way that keeps your hormones balanced. So tune in to Cabral Concept Episode 3394 to discover the best exercises for boosting testosterone naturally. Enjoy the show, and I'd love to hear your thoughts afterward!
