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:

Alicja: Hi Dr.Cabral, Thanks to the knowledge you share I was able to improve my thyroid. I took your courses about thyroid and I listen to your podcast regularly. Last year when I tested my thyroid all the markers were in range, except for anty-TG. Having those antibodies still suggest I have Hashimoto. As you said on the podcast it may just take longer for the antibodies to disappear. I waited another year and retested my thyroid again. All looks good except I still test positive for Hashimoto. The latest test show anty-TG at 4.42 IU/ml, whereas the test year ago showed 9.35IU/ml. So there is a definite decline. My question: should I do nothing about it, because it takes years for the antibodies to disappear? Or the fact that I still have those antibodies for so long indicates a problem? Alicja: Hi again, I also want to ask you about about two other things that were off my chart. I have very high levels of vit.B12. I don't supplement with B vitamins, but I take multivitamin daily. Since I saw very high levels of B12 on my bloodwork a couple of years ago, I decreased dosage of my multi and instead of taking a full dose, I take half dose or 2/3. Despite of that my latest test still shows very high and out of range B12 (654 pg/ml) Can this be toxic to my body? Have you ever heard of very high B12 levels indicating a cancer? Second: my prolactin levels are very low. What causes it and how can I correct that? I'm 41 yo, with improving health but still having some hormonal imbalances. Madison: Hey Stephen! I got a steroid shot in my hip for a sinus infection 6 months ago, and the injection site is a large dimple now that's about twice the size of a quarter and pretty deep. I assume this is fat atrophy. Is there any way to help this condition? All I've read says fat graphs and Botox. Would red light therapy help? Is there a natural cream to stimulate the cells there to regenerate? Should I try like a detox mask on the area with bentonite clay? I need help I'm worried it will keep growing wider and deeper. Thanks for all you do! Katie: Hello Dr. Cabral! I will always be a big fan and watch you daily! I feel that I have grown as a Nutritionist and have been able to help more people because of you. Keep fighting the good fight, we need you! I was wondering what your thoughts were on zeolite. I just started it and read that it can also remove parasite along with heavy metals. I did the Equi life metals and minerals test, and it showed high on mercury and aluminum. I am also going to do your heavy metal detox but want to do the maintenance with the zeolite. Always appreciate your feedback. Much love! Mia: Hello! I discovered you on Mindpump and I love how you run all the tests with Sal, Justin and Adam. A few months ago you ran an epigenetics aging test to see what their biological age is. What test did you use with them?

The health of people in the United States has been steadily declining for years. While there are many contributing factors, the concerning reality is that both lifespan and the number of healthy years people are living are on the decline. On today's show, I'll be discussing a study that sheds light on why this is happening and the factors contributing to the rise in disease and mortality, so that we can finally put a stop to this and reverse the trend. Join me on today's Cabral Concept 3189 as we explore the top 7 nutritional deficiencies that can lead to early death and what you can do to prevent them. Enjoy the show, and I'd love to hear your feedback!

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…

Michelle: Hi Dr Cabral :). I was listening to episode 529 the "Food Poisoning Fix". Would you be able to update what Equilife products you would use for an adult? I think they may have new names/ updated formulas since the podcast. Thank you for all you do! Lynette: I've really been trying to eliminate plastic from my kitchen (and life) after hearing you speak about the dangers of plastic on several podcast episodes earlier this year. It's just so hard to find safe replacements for everything. What are your thoughts on melamine and silicone? Are these "safe" plastics? Is using a silicone lid on my ceramic commuter coffee cup safe? What about silicone backware? What about melamine for outdoor picnics? Thanks for you insight into navigating the world of "safe" plastics! Tana: Hi Stephen, I cannot drink tap water without completely losing my mind. I get crazy emotional and unstable. I drink extremely filtered water (not RO). But if I shower with a filter, I lose all my color and muscle and can't even function and feel completely devoid of all nutrition no matter what I do. I have SIBO and I am waiting on a metals and minerals test to come back. Alicia: Hi Dr Cabral My question is I am reading your Rain Barrel book and I came across the chapter where you talk about medications and quote me if I am wrong but I read that they are only needed in life saving events. I have struggled with my mental health since a teenager. I am 45years old mom with kids that I care for. I have tried to get off of psychiatric medications several times and replace it with natural supplements with little success.It's been very hard and I have responsibilities to maintain. It bothers me to have to take the medications. Do you consider this to be a life saving illness? Any help is most appreciative and I am following your protocols for optimal health! Elaine: Hi Dr. Cabral, 20+ years ago, when I was in my 50s, I had colon cancer and had 10" of my lower large intestine removed. I've had digestive troubles ever since, although one doctor said the cause of my troubles might be because I don't have a gall bladder. It was removed a few years before I had colon cancer. Now I am in my 70s and am having trouble with neuropathy. My doctor said my vitamin B12 levels were low, so prescribed a high dosage thinking that would help. But the B12 seems to be making my digestive troubles worse. I'm wondering if not having part of my large intestine could be preventing me from absorbing vitamins and causing digestive issues? What would you recommend for figuring out the root cause of my stomach issues and my neuropathy? 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:

Anonymous: Hello, I'm a 36 year old woman who eats mostly a clean plant based diet, but still has fibromyalgia and inflammation in the body. My periods are regular and not strong, but they start with spotting a few days before the painful 1st day of the period. What can I do to stop it being so painful? Also last month I had some spotting and bleeding 4 days around the time of ovulation, is that normal? What does it mean and how to get my body in balance? Thank you Lara: Hi, dr. C!I know you say nutritional yeast is a problem because its molecules are similar to MSG or that's how the body perceives it, but someone told me the same happens with tomatoes and mushrooms? they say nutritional yeast is a great source of B12 and folic acid - it does contain naturally occurring MSG, but so do tomatoes and mushrooms, so is that the same? Is naturally occurring MSG as bad as actual MSG? Should we avoid tomatoes and mushrooms as well? Thank you for the clarification Ann: Hi Dr. Cabral- Thank you for all you do for the community:). I have a question about both Heart Rate Variability and VO2Max. Barring going to a specialist to get tested, what are the best or most accurate tools to measure each? Thank you again as always for all you do! Charlotte: Hi Dr. Cabral, I'm currently trying to conceive & am working with a Naturopath & Integrative Dr to prepare & keep Hashimotos stable. We completed a stool test which was positive for H.Pylori, Staph & high inflammation Calprotectin of 376 ug/g. Three weeks prior to doing the stool test I travelled to Thailand where I ate outside of my usual Gluten & Dairy Free diet & also had stomach upset/diarrhoea for 4 days. I usually have no gut issues. Do you think the upset during travel or H.Pylori/Staph can raise marker? Naturopath wants referral for colonoscopy ASAP as could be driving thyroid & persistent antibodies of 300. Dr & I are reluctant as no prior gut issues & is invasive. Completed 4 month gut protocol to remove pathogens, now working on inflammation. What next? Allison: Hi Dr. Cabral, I searched your podcast archives and didn't see anything on the topic of bone spurs. My Dad has some in his shoulder and they say the only way to deal with his limited range of motion is surgery. I also have them under my kneecaps which has created a lot of mobility issues and a surgeon told me he could operate and clean off the surface under the kneecaps but there would be no guarantee it would work or help. Why do bone spurs occur and is there any way to get rid of them naturally? I'd also love to know how to prevent them from reforming. Thank you!
