3319: Food Combinations, Lower Back Pain & Fatigue, Bruises Under Skin, Poor Wound Healing, Probiotics & Mental Health (HouseCall) Mar 08, 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:

Mike: Doc by the time you read this, I will have completed the big 5.. Can you simplify food combinations of how to eat? Don't eat this with that. I like to keep things simple. I think people over think & complicate everything when it comes to health. Eat the colors of the rainbow at every single meal. Thanks for keeping it simple for meatheads like me who just want to live happy healthy lives & preform at our best. Maryann: Hi Dr. Cabral. I struggle with bouts of severe fatigue that is accompanied by a pain/ache in my lower right back. It starts with the lower back pain a day or 2 in advance and the fatigue then begins with me struggling to wake in the morning, like I am trying to come out of anesthesia. This fatigue can last for a day or a week. I have had an xray and MRI for the back pain which have not shown any issues. All of my routine bloodwork is within normal lab ranges. I have Hashimotos (I take Synthroid daily) and am Celiac, on a strict gluten free diet for 15 years. I do not drink alcohol or caffeine, I strength train 4X a week and walk 4 miles daily. I take daily Vitamin D and calcium supplements. Doctors/specialists have no answers. Any insight you have is very much appreciated! Thanks Milan: Hello Dr.Cabral. I am an IHP and would like to ask your opinion about tiny bruises under the skin. My client keeps on developing those and we can't figure out the reason. She had some yeast, parasite issues that we have solved already, estrogen dominance that we work on right now, omega3/6 ratio is 4/1, no issues on CBC. She is following an paleo diet and lives very clean. Aside from her estrogen dominance supplements, she also takes activated B, 1g of vitamin C, Zn, Omega3, probiotics, D/K2. What could be the reason for her brushing, am I missing something? Mike: Dr Cabral, I have a question regarding poor wound healing and and frequent muscle injuries. I am 44 years old ectomorph, 5'10", 160 lbs, 10% body fat. I eat smoothies with collagen, goat whey, berries, pears, apples, coconut milk for breakfast, vegetarian lunch with chickpeas, potatoes, vegetables, olive oil, hemp, dinner with rice, vegetables, animal protein, olive oil. I exercise 6 days per week for 45 minute (2x strength training, 2x cardio, 2x yoga). According to my calculation I get about 120g protein, 100g fat, 250g carbs, and overall about 7 servings of fruit/vegetables on daily basis, and about 2400kcal. Could frequent injuries and poor wound healing be due to insufficient calories for my body type and energy expenditure? By the way, my omega 6 to 3 ratio is 3/1 without supplement. Olive: Hi Dr C I'm an IHP2M My question is about adding probiotics to my daily routine & how much is too much. I take a 12 Billion multi-strain probiotic. I'm also exploring a 'mental wellness' blend that claims to 'Optimize your gut-brain axis with a synergistic combo of clinically validated probiotics, prebiotics, and phytobiotics to increase the production of your feel-good neurotransmitters'. Has: Lactobacillus R0052 for positive mood, Bifidobacterium R0175 for stress resilience, Lactobacillus R0011 for gut health for a total of 65 mg. Also prebiotic mix, L-glutamine, L-Theonine, & more fruit extracts. Will this blend add too much bacteria to my gut, and what are your thoughts on the effectiveness of this helping mental wellness by supporting the gut-brain axis? Thank you.

Show notes

There's a lot of confusion about what truly breaks a fast, especially when it comes to amino acid supplements. While many companies claim that EAAs and BCAAs won't break a fast because they don't spike blood sugar, that's only part of the picture. So on today's episode, I'll share 3 ways these supplements do impact fasting—and 1 way they don't. Join me for Cabral Concept 3316 as we break down the myths and uncover the truth about amino acids and fasting. Enjoy the show, and let me know your thoughts!

3313: Sulforaphane & Pets, Mono & Enlarged Liver, Sleep & Depression, Hair Loss & Testosterone, Perimenopause Concerns (HouseCall) Mar 02, 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…

Anonymous: Good morning! I was listening to your podcast this morning (#3283) and you mentioned you gave your dog sulforaphane to help extend his life when he had health issues. I want my dog to live forever (I'm only partially joking), so I wanted to know what dosage you used based on body weight and what other dog supplements you recommend. My dog is currently 8 1/2 heeler-aussie-shiba mix in great health (still has the energy of a puppy), where the only thing I notice with him is some benign fatty lipomas. Thanks! Anonymous: I hope you're having a wonderful day and thanks for all you do! My latest CT scan showed an enlarged liver with mild steatosis- I eat extremely healthy (and have been for a really long time, I'm only 28 and have only had about 3-4 drinks in the past 7 years)...I think this is stemming from getting mono a year ago (I've been feeling sick ever since and have had complications, even thoigh ive been following your viral protocol). Is this possible for mono to cause this? Also is it safe to continue doing functional medicine detoxes with an enlarged liver? Selma: Hi doctor Cabral, I love your podcast and am very grateful for all your amazing health advice. I hope you can help me with the following: Lack of sleep is a major trigger for me. After a late night, I often feel depressed, angry, and pessimistic. It's like a dark cloud hangs over me, and I can't shake the feeling that nothing will ever get better. Thankfully, this always improves after a good night's sleep. I'm curious if there are any strategies to manage these feelings when those unavoidable sleepless nights happen. Thanks so much and have an amazing day! Jackie: Hi doc. Question about testosterone. Been on it for 7 years, shot 4 yr , cream to present Originally for hot flashes, worked fabulously, got blood every six months. Question is I took it on the days I trained using cream. When I did it for five days, I started losing hair on head and losing on legs and underarms. Lowered dose hair stops falling on head and stops growing on legs My sgbh went up steady all the years. Doc saying no big deal. Can you shed light on why the hair falls out and legs grow and vice versa L. I really like the strength and less crying. I'm also on small estradiol and progesterone Going to do the big 5 but can't just yet. In school also at present ! I have gluten and dairy sens and diagnosed Lyme and ebvThank you and I'm very glad I found you and am healing Rebecca: I think I may have started perimenopause in the last 2 months. I have all of a sudden gained over 20 pounds in a month. I've never had a weight problem before and I have tried to take it off and I just can't. Also, it started the same time I had glycine supplements toxicity. Which I still think since I never detoxed it out of my system it could still be a problem with my weight from what I read. Also, still have the dizzy, vomiting, nausea, anxiety, weight, sex drive dropped, not hungry, and tremors from it too. I'm 51 and wasn't experimented on by the v***ine. Also, I've never done a parasite detox and think I should but never knew which one to use. Would love your thoughts.

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!

3312: Wildfire Impact, Milky Oats & Anxiety, Cone Beam CT Scans, Different Sauna Options, Complete Bowel Movements (HouseCall) Mar 01, 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:

Snaz: Hi Dr. Cabral. I am located in Southern CA in an area impacted by fires. The air has been very ashy. When the farmers market reopened after the initial crisis had passed, I had gone shopping at the market and then I was washing my veggies and started to think about how this toxic ash may end up in our food being grown in the region. What if anything can or should we do to prevent the body from absorbing these additional toxins? I can remember "smoky" vintages of wine from previous fires. This obviously ends up in our food system through direct settling on the produce or absorption in the soil. Is there anything extra we can do to protect our health from this additional source of toxins? Or just all of the usual things you talk about? Thank you for your thoughts. Gemma: Has the Dr Cabral practice ever worked with Milky Oats (avena sativa)? I see that it is often used for anxiety (amongst other things such as alcohol or drug recovery) but I would like to understand if you have seen this work in practice and if its worthwhile as its quite an expensive herb. Pub med is hinting that it got good results but theres a lot of science in that report! It behaves differently from other herbs for anxiety as other herbs such as passionflower seem to make you sleepy and switch off your brain. I dont quite understand the science behind this one but you take it every day, no sleepiness, no withdrawal symptoms if you forget….seems like a wonder herb in theory. And apparently can also lower cholesterol as an added bonus! Why isn't half the population on this? Michael: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thank you for everything you do. My question is regarding cone beam CT scans at dental offices. What is your recommendation for having this imaging done? I'm 38 and had all 4 of my wisdom teeth pulled about 5 years ago. I've had a history of bad oral health that I've been working on. I've also had some intermittent jaw/facial symptoms on one side of my face for the last year or so. I recently started to see a holistic dentist and the CBCT is an option. My worry is the radiation with CT scans. Michael: Hi Dr. Cabral, I have a question regarding regular sauna use. I've read a lot about the benefits of multiple sauna sessions per week. I have used a dry sauna at a local gym regularly for a couple of years. I recently purchased a sauna blanket from Higher Dose for the convenience of not having to travel to the gym every day. I do sweat a lot using the sauna blanket especially when I use it after a workout. Is there more of a benefit from a sauna that you're inside of and breathing the warm air, or does the benefit simply come from warming the body to the point of sweating which is still provided by the sauna blanket? Thank you for taking the time to answer everyone's questions! Belinda: Hi doctor Cabral, I was wondering if you could help me with the following: every morning, I have a large, wel-formed, normal bowel movement, but in the afternoon, I feel the urge to go again, but I'm only able to pass a small amount of stool. I'm experiencing bloating and gas, and I feel like I should be able to have a more complete bowel movement. I'm eating a healthy diet with plenty of fiber, drinking enough water, and I recently completed a cleanse, but my symptoms haven't improved. Could you please provide some insight into what might be causing these issues? Really grateful for your help here. Thanks so much! Belinda 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! - - -
