3349: Stop Assuming the Worst In People (Here's Why) (MM) Apr 07, 2025

Show notes

Have you ever caught yourself assuming the worst—about people, situations, or even your own future?

You're not alone.

Our brains are wired to focus on the negative—a survival mechanism that can easily turn into a habit of pessimism.

On today's show, I want to share three simple questions I use to retrain my thinking and stop jumping to worst-case scenarios.

Join me on Cabral Concept 3349 as we explore how to stop assuming the worst, rewire your mindset, and cultivate a more positive outlook on life. Enjoy the show, and let me know your thoughts!

3348: Pea Protein, Idiopathic Intercranial Hypertension, Detox & Zinc, Persistent Fatigue, Methylation & Morning Smoothie (HouseCall) Apr 06, 2025

Show notes

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…

Diane: Greetings Dr. Cabral, I have been using the DNS powder for quite some time, however I found through taking the IGG Food Sensitivity test that I'm pretty sensitive to peas, certain beans, lentils, hemp hearts and other food sources. I noticed the DNS powder has yellow pea protein, not green pea protein and wondered if because of this I should refrain from using the powder and go directly to the Multi's instead? I very much enjoy my daily morning shakes but don't wish to add to the sensitivity problem. Thank you for any advice you can lend. Kim: I am a 54 year old female diagnosed with empty sella, idiopathic intercranial hypertension, and central apnea. Are there things that I can do to help myself naturally? Prescribed medications were not good for my kidneys. Currently waiting to see if my kidney function recovers . Thank you Kim John: Hey doc. I took the heavy metal test and was high in mercury and lead. I've been using the Therasage sauna you recommended 3 days a week for 30 minutes for about 2 years so I was surprised my numbers were high. I ordered the heavy metal detox and I wanted to know if I should stop taking your balanced zinc and hair support while on the detox . Thanks for all the great work you and your team is doing Stephen: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thank you for all you do to help people restore and maintain their health. I've been struggling with persistent fatigue and exhaustion for the past 10 years. No matter how much sleep I get, I'm always tired. I've done a 21 day and a 7 day FM detox which have made me feel better in other areas, but the fatigue persists. Do you have any chronic fatigue specific protocols or suggestions? Spencer: Hello Dr. Cabral I like the idea of a smoothie for breakfast full of 100% of my vitamins and minerals. However, I am an over methylater and tend to get hyper and anxious from the DNS. Is there any way I can still take it (perhaps anything I could take alongside) and avoid these symptoms apart from just lower the amount as I feel 1/2 to 1/4 scoop isn't enough to make a smoothie palatable. I've found better results taking folate as folinic acid and B12 as adenosylcobalamin and hydroxocobalamin. I'm sure it's not profitable to make a DNS with non methylated b vitamins since this won't affect most people. 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!

3347: Plasma Donations, Antibiotics & GI Issues, Red Light & Hair Growth, X39 Studies, Blood Clots (HouseCall) Apr 05, 2025

Show notes

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:

Michael: Hi Dr. Cabral! Thank you for the great work that you do! I'm hoping you can speak to the risk and benefits of regular blood and plasma donations. At what iron levels would you likely recommend someone give blood, if at all? Also, what is the difference between a plasma donation and plasmapheresis? Can you get similar benefits from regular plasma donations as you can from plasmapheresis? Thank you! Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral, In my teenage years, I was quite often prescribed anitbiotics to combat cystic acne. I was mostly prescribed tetracycline, and a few others that I cant remember. I was on them for quite a while as I just did not respond well to acutane. Im a male and 40 years old now and I do have quite a bit of gi issues. My first GI doctor diagnosed me with dispepsia, though I wasnt tested for that so i dont know how he arrived at that conclusion. My 2nd GI Dr. ran a stool test that came back normal. Is it possible for such antibiotic during teenage years to lead to GI issues? I know nothing is certain without testing but just curious if its even a possibility considering it was so long ago and Ive largely avoided them since my 20's. Thanks Elizabeth: Hi, Dr. Cabral. On a previous show, you mentioned a red light therapy device and that devices get better every couple of years. I noticed the one on your resource pages is at least a couple years old, so I'm not sure it's still as effective as some of the newer ones. When looking for red light therapy caps for hair growth, what numbers (levels) and how many red lights should be the minimum in a red light therapy cap? Some can get quite pricey and I'm looking for something that is cost effective. Thank you so much! I look forward to hearing back! Marie-Eve: Hi Dr. Cabral, I am an IHP level 1 and soon 2 student. I have been using the X39 patch for the past 3 months and very much respect your knowledge about all things health. You have experienced, seen, read, done so many things in the health and wellness World and I take your opinion very seriously. You have mentioned a few times in your podcast that you have not seen any clinical studies about X39 and wanted to share these 2 with you. I was pleased to know about an affordable way to activate stem cells and copper peptides but I don't understand the deeper langage when it comes to researchers sometimes. I agree that blind testing is not enough and we need actual clinical studies to prove its benefits. I would love to hear your thoughts on those researches I found through my portal. Ian: Hi Dr. Cabral, I hope this message finds you well. One of my favorite basketball players, Victor Wembanyama (Wemby), was diagnosed with a deep vein thrombosis in his right shoulder, which is his shooting shoulder. He's 7 feet, 4 inches and 21 years old. From my perspective, it's very likely that taller people develop cardiovascular issues, and health issues in general, more often than shorter individuals... but Wemby is quite young and perhaps we might not expect cardiovascular issues at this age. I'd like to break down what may lead to blood clotting, especially in tall humans. What might the body be responding to with aggregations of blood in its attempt to reach its balanced state? Lastly, what modalities could be taken to mitigate blood clots in general, and athletes in particular?

3341: Memory Foam Mattresses, Stinging Nose, Omeprazole & Alternatives, High Heart Rate & Alcohol, Root Cause of Thick Blood (HouseCall) Mar 30, 2025

Show notes

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…

Kay: Hi Dr. Cabral, About a year ago, before I discovered you and your podcasts, my husband and I invested in a $4000 Tempurpedic mattress. I know that memory foam is generally synthetic and was wondering if you have recommendations to reduce any toxic effects? The instructions when we first received the mattress were to allow it to "air out" for a day, which we did. We now also sleep with an air filter in our bedroom. Any other suggestions or comments about Tempurpedic or memory foam mattresses in general? Thank you. Anonymous: Hi, this has been happening for a while & I am wondering what it means. When I wake up the inside of my nose stigns quite a lot. Sometimes it also happens during the day or it lasts throughout the day but mostly it's the worst as soon as I wake up. It's really annoying and then I usually rub my nose on the outside a lot until it subsides but it's so weird and I have no idea what it means. Please help! Lindsay: Hi Dr Cabral, I looked over your information already given on acid reflex. I have two questions. What are the long term effects of omeprazole. What is a natural alternative? Thank you, Lindsay Anonymous: Hello Dr. C, I hope you're doing well. I wanted to reach out regarding an issue I've been experiencing. I have noticed an increase in heart rate after consuming alcohol. I never had any issues with occasional drinking prior. However, since having my first child and taking nearly two years off from alcohol, I now experience a racing heart whenever I drink. I've tried staying well-hydrated beforehand, but the issue persists. I have done a FM detox + Parasite detox in this 2 year period as well. I'm curious to hear your thoughts on what might be causing this change, especially since it wasn't a problem in the past. Could it be a histamine issue or an overflowing rain barrel still? Jennifer: Thank you for all you do, Dr. Cabral! Your energy and drive inspire me! My Dad has to take Warfarin to thin his blood. What may be root causes for thickening of the blood? Where do I start?
