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:

Kate: Hi there Stephen !I am a big fan of your work, your book and your podcast! All the way from australia I am working in a pharmacy, and feeling like i'm sanitising my hands, more than I probably need to. Does hand sanitiser contain Endocrine disrupters, and should I consider other options? Thanks heaps! Sonny: Hi Dr Cabral, Around 18 months ago, I noticed hair loss at the front of my hairline. I'm in good health, and the only change has been using an infrared sauna 4-5 times a week. I tried 3 PRP sessions, which helped some regrowth, but the hair is now coarse, brittle, and wiry. A trichologist suggested possible alopecia areata, but no clear diagnosis was made. I've been using biotin, EquiLife Daily Hair Support, a red light cap, derma rolling, and copper peptide serum, but haven't seen much improvement. Are there any tests you'd recommend to investigate this further? I'm considering the Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Sheena: Hi Dr C! Hope you are well and hope 2025 is treating you and your family well. Quick question, after doing The BIG 5, my IHP2 has recommended that I do a Limited CBO protocol. My question is, because its a Limited protocol, would it be ok for me to do a 'cheat meal' once a week? Or should I still wait for after 21 days to have my first cheat meal? Thank you so much! Spencer: Hello Dr. Cabral, Asking a question for my girlfriend. All of the sudden, during a stressful work time, her shoulder started hurting. She had limited range of motion and pain all day. It made sleeping hard. She works from home and wasn't using it or injuring it during this time, it just kind of started to hurt. She went to the orthopedic and he diagnosed with frozen shoulder, gave her a cortisone shot, and said give it a 3-6 months and it should go back to normal. I'm wondering if you have anything complementary that could be added to this as just waiting doesn't feel like the optimal strategy. Thank you for all you do Kavita: Hello Dr. Cabral, I have a question about my husband's diagnosis and also the history. Looking for some answers from you as you have mentioned several times that everything is curable. This is the diagnosis from the doctor: Right leg numbness in the setting of Common peroneal neuropathy at the head of bula versus right & Lumbosacral radiculopathy at L5, superimposed on likely diabetic Neuropathy: Improving symptoms of right lower lateral leg/foot numbness w/in distribution of both the peroneal and L5 nerve root. No evidence of foot drop/weakness. Mild pain, Gabapentin prn for pain as below. Neuropathy is likely from diabetes, will monitor, appears mild/primarily SF based on recent NCS/EMG above. - gabapentin 100 MG Oral Cap; Take 1 capsule (100 mg total) by mouth nightly as needed 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! - - -

When it comes to nutrition, it's important to stay open-minded and supportive of each person's unique journey—while also sharing the latest research that can help guide healthier choices... So on today's show, I want to go over ground-breaking studies that demonstrate how simple dietary swaps can significantly lower the risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and premature death. By substituting certain more inflammatory foods with 3 specific alternatives, the research reveals powerful information that may positively influence your dietary decisions for the better. I hope you'll join me on today's Cabral Concept 3331 as we explore how these changes could reduce your risk of heart disease by 25–35%. Enjoy the show, and let me know your thoughts!

When most people hear the word "nicotine," they immediately think of smoking or tobacco use… But nicotine is actually a naturally occurring substance, and in recent years, it has gained attention in the biohacking community as a potential supplement. Like anything, it may come with both pros and cons—and it's important to understand both the possible advantages and the associated risks. So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3329 as we dive into nicotine supplementation and explore the benefits and drawbacks, so you can decide whether it's something worth considering. 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…

Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral. I'm looking for advice to help my 8 year old daughter. She had a verucca last year that was persistent, it eventually cleared up with over the counter treatment. The verucca has come back this year and is really not shifting & it appears to be getting worse/larger. I have tried taping it, shop bought treatments and home remedies using garlic etc. What would you recommend? Thank you for sharing all of your wisdom. Kirsten: Hi Dr. C! Thank you so much for what you do! I enjoy listening to your podcasts daily! I took the MTHfr test and I was told that I carry one abnormal copy of two Mthfr genes. It looks like I am heterozygous for both.. Can you explain to me what this means and what I need to do to treat it please? I also have Hashimotos but not sure if that's connected or not.Thank you! Angie: Hello Dr. Cabral,My recent lab results indicate platelets low at 147 which is concerning. Gi Doctor said i have at two low labs and she is not concerned since it's a trend with prior labs. What could be wrong and what is your suggestion for a resolution ? Other labs - which are concerning Hemoglobin @16.5 (high) HCT @50 (high) Glucose @101 (high) And diagnosed with IBS.I appreciate any guidance. Thank you for all you do ! Christina: Hi Dr. Cabral! First, thank you for your generosity with your knowledge & time & the team you have built around you. I'm so grateful for the community. Now to the question: 3 months ago I started eating chicken and beef again after 15 years of a pescatarian diet. I have noticed that since that time, my frequency of burping has increased. I thought maybe my microbiome and digestive system needed time to adjust, but also thought by 3 months it would have subsided. This is the only change I've made in my diet; all other habits are the same - sleep, frequency of workouts, environment, supplements, etc. The burps come on suddenly which can be sort of embarrassing and if I try to hold them in, it causes acid reflux. What do you suggest I do? Julianna: Hello! Thank you for reviewing my situation. I am female, age 22. As many women my age, I have been dealing with acne for a while, but got much worse around age 20 (didn't have much of a problem in high school). It appears to be fungal and comedonal acne all the time and some cystic acne around my period. Many small spots on my chin, forehead, and nostril area, sometimes in the area above my top lip. I've seen a dermatologist for the past 2 years, on Doxycycline pills, tretinoin cream, and clindamycin lotion. This helped clear my skin pretty well but not completely. I recently stopped all of these, I want to find more natural solutions to whatever is causing the acne, and the acne has, of course, come back. I try to eat clean and use low-tox products. What can I do to solve this?

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:

Abby: Hi Dr. Cabral, I've listened to several of your podcasts on saunas. If you had to pick one for your home, would it be a dry "finnish" sauna or an infrared sauna based on the health benefits? I know the dry saunas have been around forever and there are hundreds of studies on their benefits where as there doesn't seem to be as many on the infrared saunas. Thanks! Elsa: Hi Dr. Cabral.Just finished my first ever 7 day detox and getting ready to do some tests. I'm 58 years old, work out regularly and eat a relatively healthy diet. Was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism many years ago and taking Np Thyroid at the present time. Three and a half years ago was surprised by a heart attack which lead to the placement of several stents on my LAD. This made me focus on my health and trying to find out what the underlying causes were although all explanations I got was that it was all genetics. Of course cardiologist wants me to take statins, aspirin and blood thinners for life which I'm not willing to do if I can help it. My question is about blood thinners and aspirin.Could something like proteolytic enzymes combined with omega-3 supplements work in a similar way? Morgan: Hi Dr. Cabral,I've beenLoving your podcast for quite some time now. I'm wondering where you recommend to start when diagnosed with candida potentially due to mold. My doctor also thought I had a parasite and SIBO at this time and started me on albendazole and xifaxan. When taking Zyon, my fungal symptoms, significantly worsened. I started having severe dandruff, bloating, gas, fatigue. She now wants me to take prescription itraconazole for up to six months, along with atrantil PRO (which contains probiotics), magnesium, IGY, and DAO. What are your thoughts on these recommendations? Six months seems like a long period of time to me. Is this normally how long it takes, even if going the natural route? Would it be worthwhile to start the CBO protocol instead? Thanks for all you do! Alex: Dr C- you are the best. You've changed our lives forever. Can you give us your opinion on thermograms for detecting health issues, cancer, etc compared to the PreNuvo scans? Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Alex: Can you please do an entire podcast on POTS? symptomology, root causes, how to fix, how to help with symptoms while fixing? So many people I know have it and don't have any answers. It would be great to be able to send them to one podcast instead of piecing together house call questions. Thank you so much for all you do. 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! - - -
