3285: Toe Pain & Diabetes, Inflamed Liver, High TSH, Low WBC, Cherry Angiomas (HouseCall) Feb 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…

Kavita: Your work has been a blessing to me! I have a time-sensitive question. My husband (61) has been experiencing severe pain in his right toe, affecting his ability to lift his leg. Although magnesium foot soaks and oil massages provided some relief, the pain persisted. During the holidays, he had his condition checked and was told it might be nerve-related, possibly due to his medications. He is pre-diabetic, on Metformin, and takes statins. His bloodwork showed elevated blood sugar (200) and an A1C of 11, which was shocking since he generally maintains a good diet and exercises regularly.He sees his PCP tomorrow. I am not a big believer in traditional medicine. DR. CABRAL PLEASE HELP! C: female age 39. i have/had an "inflamed liver" my liver area hurts basically is what i understand. this started after i was a 8 weeks into a caloric restriction aiming for about 2 lbs a week loss. my doctor gave me a liver panel and my alt was elevated. about 2 months later i felt better . i just finished a 7 day eqilife detox and it started hurting agian. i am at a loss for what is going on or how to make it better and my doctor was no help to me. really she offered no information what so ever but to stop exercising. Lyn: Hi Dr. Cabral! I just received my annual bloodwork, and my TSH is at 4.9 while all my other markers are normal (antibodies, T3, T4, reverse T3, T4). I have struggled with higher levels of TSH for years which fluctuates between 3-5. I have definitely listened to all your podcasts concerning the thyroid, but I just can't seem to change these numbers. I also notice that if I take anything with Iodine, the numbers go quite high. I have heard that this is normal for around 6 months -1 year as your thyroid is balancing out, but I wanted to get your thoughts. Thanks so much! Carrie: Hi Dr. Cabral. I just received my bloodwork and am stumped. It's the same as last year almost even though I've tried even more to get these fixed. My WBC count is low with neutrophils dropping even more and ALT and AST slightly elevated, and when I worked with your team in the past and others, I have been told this is some sort of virus like EBV. I never drink alcohol and all other liver markers are normal and I'm running a functional medicine protocol with a lot of biomarkers. In addition, my total iron and iron saturation are high while my ferratin is only 19. I actually donated blood last year after I saw the high iron score, but it's still high. I listened to your most recent podcast on iron, but those cofactors seem fine. I'm disheartened and stumped! Esmira: Hello, Do you know what the underlying cause of cherry angiomas is and how to get rid of them? Thank you

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!

3284: Glutamine & Binders, Thinning Eyebrows, Don't Die Documentary, High Vitamin D Levels, Taking Vitamin D (HouseCall) Feb 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:

Sharon: Hello Dr. Cabral. I recently listened to your podcast on the use of binders. I have also seen other functional practitioners recommend Igg immunoglobulin supplements for gut issues. I don't see anything like this in your store. But the supplement is described elsewhere as binding toxins. Can you explain the difference between this and the other binders you recommend and if you believe these supplements are useful for certain situations and if and when they might be recommended vs the traditional binders you discussed. I also see this recommended to heal gut lining. Do you find this useful for that purpose instead of glutamine? Lee: Hi Dr Cabral, I wanted to tap into your expertise as iv noticed a change rand wondered what could be behind it. I'm a 42 year old female, relatively fit & healthy but could do better in all areas! Iv noticed both my eyebrows are starting to thin at the inner edges so from the bridge of the nose. I'm now having to use an eyebrow pencil to colour that part in and even them up! Any thoughts are appreciated. Lara: Hi, dr. C.. I'm wondering whether you've been following the longevity journey of Bryan Johnson.. the documentary just came to Netflix and it's called Don't Die because he literally wants to do everything in his power not to die, ever.. some of the things seem pretty dangerous to me (like gene therapy and taking immunosuppressants) and also he's selling some products like the Blueprint olive oil (I'm guessing it has lots of polyphenols, like the one you use as a supplement).. I was just wondering what you think about it all :) Anonymous: Hi, I tested my vit D at home & the test said I had levels above 100ng/mL - this test only goes up to 100ng/mL because most people don't have higher levels, so I don't know exactly how high they are. I understand this could be dangerous for my kidneys & arteries & maybe other things as well? I am wondering what could have caused my levels to get this high? I was using 4000iu per day since beginning of autumn & I didn't get really tan this summer either. There's additional 400iu in the multi I take, but is 4400iu really too much in the winter months? Considering I have fibromyalgia & hormone & gut problems I thought I would have some trouble with absorption of it all anyway so this really came as a shock! I am really interested in the explanation, the reasons why this can occur. Thank you Anonymous: I was reading about vit D a lot & a naturopath I follow is really against supplementing with it, considering it's a secosteroid hormone & if we live where there's no Sun strong enough in the winter months, the nature obviously didn't intend for us to be having it in those months. She says that the tests only look at the reserves & there is no way of knowing how much of active vit D you have. Supplementing with it is therefore taking hormone therapy, that we should get it from Sun exposure in the summer months and then use up those reserves in the winter as nature intended. I really value your opinion so please explain in depth what is your take on this? Thank you 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! - - -
