267: Teeth Grinding, Fatlossity Diet, Eczema, Inositol for Anxiety (HouseCall) Oct 30, 2016

Show notes

The 2nd Cabral House Call of the weekend is here and I'm looking forward to tackling your most important and pressing questions today!

Here's what the topics are for today's show:

Emily: Hi Dr. Cabral, I grind my teeth loudly when I sleep. My teeth also hurts often and sensitive to heat/cold. Any recommendations on how to fix this? Thanks!

Ann: Hi Dr. Cabral, We really liked episode 254, its always nice to hear what rules and guidelines other people set for themselves in the way of healthy choices. Also, if you didn't receive the email we sent, we wanted to thank you so much for the bizarre recommendation (episode 246) of placing a bar of soap at the foot of the bed to help with symptoms of RLS (restless leg syndrome) It actually WORKS! We look forward to each and every podcast. Have a great day. + Hi Dr. Cabral, I was thinking of purchasing the Fatlossity Diet Plan manual, could you explain more about this product. Is it intended for short term, or a long term way of nutritional eating? Thanks!

Dee: Any suggestions on a quick and drug free way to get rid of a dyshidrotic eczema rash? I deal with them from time to time. I understand rashes stem from the liver, so I'm juicing and eating raw, taking milk thistle and using coffee enemas. I'm also doing vinegar and domeboro soaks, and using shea butter mixed with lavendar and frankincense. I'd appreciate any input. Thanks.

Elizabeth: Hi Stephen, I have read Inositol is good for that "get up and go feeling" and any anxiety/irritability, do you have any thoughts on this product? Love listening to your shows, Thanks! :) - Take with B

Thank you for listening in this week and I'll talk with you tomorrow on our Mindset & Motivation Monday show!

266: Elimination Diet, Bloating, Supplement Timing, Back Issues, Toe Nail Infections (HouseCall) Oct 29, 2016

Show notes

Welcome back to another Cabral HouseCall weekend!

Today we're taking more calls from the community and we've got some great questions today!

So let's get started:

Rebecca: Hi Dr Cabral, LOVE your podcast. Thank you so much for all of the helpful information you provide. I have several questions I'd love to ask but here are my top 3 for now: 1) What are your thoughts on digestive enzymes? After trying the GAPS, low FODMAP, and other elimination diets as well as probiotics, digestive enzymes are the only thing that have helped with my bloating/distended stomach. It hasn't cured me of it but it has significantly reduced it so that it doesn't occur every day. 2) Have you heard of Longevity Coffee, and if so, do you recommend it?

Donna: I've recently been introduced to your podcasts and I'm finding them timely, informative and enjoyable. I'm having a particularly challenging time right now, from all directions. This evening, as I was having a pity party, your podcast popped into my head. I gave myself the "10X" test and reminded myself to 1. be thankful that things aren't worse and 2. to focus on creating positive change. My question about supplements is something I've wondered about for a long time...when is the optimal time to take them...morning, midday or before going to bed?

Erin: Hi! I'm 26 yr old female. 2 years ago I got in a car accident that burst fractured my L1. Ever since I have not felt the same and all doctors have done is prescribe pills that block pain receptors. I am struggling with intense leg spasms almost every morning. They last 10-30 seconds and is very painful. It has not seemed to get better even with working out and occasional stretching. I eat a lot of potassium which only temporarily helps. Maybe one day and the muscle cramps are back. What can you suggest?

Anonymous: Hi Stephen, I have a toe nail infection in both big toes and both toe nails have now come off. Is it unsual to have both toe nails infected? I don't know how or why this happened. A new nail is growing underneath but I am not sure if the infection has gone. What is best to treat this, I have read topical oregano oil may be good?

Enjoy the show and be sure to tune back in tomorrow where we answer 4 more and completely different community questions!

Approximately 1 our of 3 Americans has a parasite. And worldwide, the number may be much higher, since a half a BILLION people alone have hookworms living inside them...

These parasites can be picked up almost anywhere - local restaurants, salad bars, house pets, farms, under cooked food, contaminated drinking water, walking barefoot, etc...

And, unless you're using a anti-parasite protocol 1-2x a year, or testing for parasites, you may not ever know you have them...

261: Why You Need to Slow Down to Get Ahead (MM) Oct 24, 2016

Show notes

The Western philosophy and mentality drives us to keep pushing forward even when things don't seem to be going our way...

This can lead to stress, frustration, and feelings of being overwhelmed...

When you find yourself feeling "stuck" like this, the only solution is to temporarily slow down, step back and assess where you're at and what's important to you...

Listen in on today's #CabralConcept 261 for examples on exactly how to do this and why it's truly your only way to feel alive again - enjoy the show!

260: Psoriasis & AutoImmune "Cure," ADHD/ADD "Cure," Safer Deadlifts (HouseCall) Oct 23, 2016

Show notes

The 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend is here where we're answering your questions that have come in over the past few weeks!

So let's get started and here are today's community questions:

Susan: Hello Dr Cabral I am an avid podcast listener and am so disappointed you are in Boston! I think you need to open a Toronto clinic! My question is about psoriasis. I have it but not too bad - scalp only. My 2 daughters have developed it as well one is 16 one is 7 . The 7 year old developed it after she scraped her knee. Just wondering what I could try to get rid of it and if you can "cure" this auto immune issue thru diet. Most information seems to say no. Also looking online and various studies show that people who get psoriasis before the age of 25 have a shortened life span. This is disturbing for me and looking for some help. Susan

Max: Hi Dr. Cabral, I'm writing on behalf of my friend Sally - she has a 12 year old son diagnosed with ADHD. She has not, nor does she want to get him on medication to treat it. Now that those teen hormones are kicking in, they are struggling. Do you have any recommendations or suggestions on how to help them navigate and or treat ADHD? Thank you! Maxiel

Chad: Thanks for all of the great info!! What are your thoughts on the trap bar deadlift? It works the anterior chain more than a traditional deadlift, so is it a good substitute in a routine for squatting and deadlifting since it seems to be a combination of the two? I used to squat heavy, but now I'm no longer of fan of loading my spine with heavy weights

Me: How I choose labs & supplements - Safety first

Enjoy the show!

Show notes

It's already Friday and I'm looking forward to bringing you my weekly review of the best books, supplements, research, and all things wellness, weight loss & anti-aging!

We're starting off today with a brand new research study that just came out last week reinforcing the idea that even diet soda or zero calorie drinks can still pack on body fat and prevent us from losing weight...

Then, I'll be reviewing one of my favorite book companies for exercise and stretching techniques - They make it really easy to follow along and get results in the real world!

And finally, I'm always getting asked what I recommend for energy, snack, and protein bars, so today I'll present you with my two current favorites!
