The Cabral Concept

Berberine has become well known for its ability to support healthy blood sugar, insulin sensitivity, triglycerides, and metabolic health, but could it offer benefits beyond that? On today's show, I dive into new research exploring berberine and its potential role in helping reduce the recurrence of certain cancers. We'll explore what the research found, how berberine may support the body's natural ability to manage damaged cells, and why the results remained lasting even years after participants stopped taking it. Join me on today's Cabral Concept 3863 to discover what the latest research reveals about berberine and its potential role in supporting long-term health and cancer prevention. 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…

Dana: My 8 year old niece lives in a Northern state and gets very itchy, irritated skin in the heat and has since she was about 3. In the summers it is almost impossible for her to enjoy being outside because she gets heat rashes or eczema type reactions and gets so itchy. Her pediatricians just say she has sensitive skin and give steroid cream to help, tell her to stay indoors, and have no further advice. They have done skin allergy tests with none found. If it's connected at all, she and her dad both have constant sinus fullness and drippy nose. What could be causing symptoms like this? Is there anything she can try without testing first to keep costs low? Tricia: Hi Dr Cabral, after two years of fighting with myself and trying everything, I'm considering trying a GLP, very low dosage. I know you don't recommend this but for your patients that are taking a GLP 1 drug are there any specific supplements you recommend they take while on this drug? Of course, DNS, D, Mag, Fish Oil, probiotic but what about hair supplement, eye heath, Metavolve, or digestive enzymes? I hear one of the side effects is heart burn. Would really appreciate guidance here. I'm giving it my all until January but deciding. Thank you so much! Luis: Hi Dr. Cabral, I've been having consistently sticky stools that cling to the toilet. They don't always appear mucousy, and they usually sink. Online sources often attribute this to low fiber, but it happens even when I eat fiber-rich foods like sea moss. I drink plenty of water, and my urine is almost always clear. My stools feel sluggish moving through my intestines, so I take Mag07 every night. Nearly every time I eat, I develop GI pain, mostly in my upper abdomen/chest and almost right away, and I often notice undigested food in my stool, especially plant matter. I've only been diagnosed with functional dyspepsia and mild gastritis (via endoscopy). My doctor also ran a stool test in 2024, and it came back normal. I occasionally have pale stools, so I also take UDCA regularly. Help. Anonymous: Hi Doc! I've worked long and hard on my health with lots of improvements and disease reversal. I still have Hashimotos which has slowing been improving through lifestyle changes. A lingering issue besides the Hashimotos is vericose/spider veins. All the women in my family have them and I started getting them in my 20s. I'm 37 now and they're only getting worse. The veins themselves don't seem to hurt, but my legs ache at the end of every day. Heat, sitting, and standing for long periods make it worse. They're so unsightly and I'm horribly frustrated that I can't heal my poor circulation. I'm very active and always moving. Clean whole food Mediterranean diet. No alcohol or smoking. I have to elevate my legs or sit in cold water to get any relief. Is this related to thyroid disorders? S: Hi Dr. Cabral. Would love to hear your thoughts on the studies that have recently been discussed about risks of glucosamine with brain health and who should not take this supplement. Dementias often start long before symptoms show up. I believe the studies showing risk to brain health with glucosamine were done on people with issues already. But if decline starts before symptoms, how would you know if it is safe for an individual? What is the benefit risk trade off? Any concerns or things to consider for this supplement? Additionally, would this be contraindicated if there is a family history or genetic predisposition such as an APOE4genotype? Thanks for taking the time to answer so many of our questions.

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:

Mohamed: Good morning dr.cabral. Thanks for all you do. Ive been a regularly viewer of your podcast and your work along with Equilife is incredible. 2 part question, regarding your website with all your research into cancer. Not asking for medical advice but I'm wondering about the "Budwig recipe", apparently mixing Organic cold-pressed flax oil along with cottage cheese is great breakfast to support. What are your opinions on it? rich cottage cheese with omega-3-rich flaxseed oil, aiming to improve cellular oxygenation and overall fat metabolism is what I understood? Also have you or any of your wellness clients had any anecdotal good experiences with it? Or with the famous Ivermectin Lisa: Hello Dr. Cabral, Thank you for providing such helpful information. Your podcasts about finding the root cause of disease resonate with me because I am studying naturopathic medicine and want to help my family and others uncover the causes of their health concerns. I am in my late 40s, a single mom to a 4 year old, and know in my soul this is where I am meant to be. However, I am exhausted balancing full-time work as a sonographer, motherhood, school, my health, and a toxic work environment. I have considered selling my house, moving closer to family, and taking a year away from work to focus on school. What advice would you give someone considering such a major change and financial risk while trying to protect her health and her child's stability? Thank You, Lisa Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral! My husband has been struggling with rosacea on his face and what looks like a fungal over growth on his back. Both are getting worse and damaging his confidence. Heat is a big trigger. Lots of lifestyle tweaks are needed. He drinks beer multiple times a week, consumes a less than ideal diet outside our home. He eats well at home, works out every day. He's reluctant to invest the time and effort to heal himself. He's done the big 5 in the past but did not follow the plan very closely and then went right back to the way he was living previously. I would love your thoughts and will kindly pass them along. I know I can't want his healing more than he does. I'd also like to ask for prayers from you and the community that he changes his heart and pursues his best self. Thanks! Matt: Hi Dr. Cabral, thanks for all you do. I have seen opinions that taking psyllium husk too close to medications will make them less effective because of the slowed absorption. I believe you add it to your morning smoothie, so I am assuming you disagree with this opinion since you would not take consume psyllium and have it affect the vitamins and nutrients in your smoothie. Would love to hear your thoughts. Thank you Sienna: Hi Dr Cabral! I've searched the podcast archive & been through just hair loss research & personal journey but wanted to get hour thoughts on reversing alopecia. Late onset.. looks more like male pattern balding then complete alopecia. 51 yo male, had hair when he was younger. Very little on body, some on head. Is it possible to regrow? I listened to your episode on the regrowth breakthrough "waking up dead hair follicles…" would this work with Alopecia? If you couldn't lab test… would you say it's possible to reverse & regrow and what would you do….. since yours was more linked to stress/virus? Would so appreciate your thoughts… as you've shared (almost) anything is reversible…… Thank you as always, Sienna 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! - - -

What if improving type 2 diabetes wasn't simply about cutting carbohydrates, but about improving the health of your cells and metabolism? On today's show, I explore research showing that a high-carbohydrate, high-fiber diet can lead to remarkable improvements in blood sugar, insulin requirements, and cholesterol, even in people with type 2 diabetes. I'll break down why insulin resistance develops, how inflammation, visceral fat, poor sleep, and processed foods can contribute to metabolic dysfunction, and why lowering blood sugar doesn't always mean the underlying problem has been resolved. So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3855 to discover what this research reveals about carbohydrates, insulin resistance, and the role of fiber in supporting long-term metabolic health. Enjoy the show, and let me know your thoughts!

Heart disease remains one of the biggest health risks we face, but understanding what's happening inside your arteries can give you a much clearer picture of your cardiovascular health. On today's show, I break down the difference between hard, calcified plaque and soft plaque, why soft plaque can be more vulnerable to rupture, and how arterial plaque develops in the first place. I'll explain what a CAC score can and can't tell you, and how other options can help assess your cardiovascular health. So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3854 to discover the differences between hard and soft plaque, which tests can identify each type, why inflammation and other underlying factors matter, and what you can do to better understand your cardiovascular risk. Enjoy the show, and let me know your thoughts!
