3229: Exercise & Blood Sugar Levels, Dental Infections, Fungal Overgrowth, Root Cause of Acne, Organic Soy Milk (HouseCall) Dec 08, 2024

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…

Varun: Hi Dr. Cabral, I am 43 year old male. I have been using CGM to monitor blood glucose level from past few weeks. I have noticed that blood sugar level remains within the range (fasting and after 2 hours). However, whenever I do high intensity weight workouts (fasting) my blood sugar level shows very high spikes (up to 8-10 mmol/L). It takes around 2 hours or so to come down below 5.6 mmol/L. My GP couldn't explain why this is happening. Have you seen this kind of phenomenon in your practice or research. I have predisposition to type 2 Diabetes due to family history, therefore I eat very clean diet, mostly plant based. I do 45 mins high intensity exercise weights/workout 4 days a week. I do EquiLife detox couple of times a year and did parasite and CBO protocol last year. Matt: Hi Dr Cabral-Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and the results of all your hard work. I have high confidence that I have had untreated dental infections over the years and I have heard that this can affect the heart and the brain. In regards to the impact on the brain, what can I do at this point, where the damage has already been done, to stave off, if not reverse, the consequences? Ryan: I went over 30 years without having jock itch, then I got it (self-diagnosed) about 7 months ago. I treated it with OTC medication to clear it up…but it has been recurring now. In the past 7 months I've probably had 8-9 bouts of it. What could be making me more susceptible to fungal overgrowth all the sudden? Kristen: Hi Dr. Cabral! Thank you for all the great free content you put out for the public, you are very appreciated! I've been struggling with mild to moderate acne for many years. I have tried pretty much everything. My diet is VERY clean and I have a very healthy lifestyle. I've seen many doctors and estheticians for this. I previously took out dairy for about a week or so to see if that was causing it, but nothing changed. I am very mindful of minimizing glucose spikes, as I know that can cause acne. I am really hesitant to start taking out foods and eliminating things. Should my next steps be to get a continuous glucose monitor to see if this is the cause? I know there are many episodes on this topic but I feel I'm doing all the 'things'. Thank you so much! Jennifer: Hi Dr. Cabral, What are your thoughts on organic soy milk that is only made from water and soy beans? I've heard from lots of doctors online that it is the best plant milk as it helps prevent certain types of cancers like breast and prostrate and is a good source of plant protein. 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!

3228: Labs for Thrombocytopenia, Constipation & Bloating, Glutamate & Methylation, Raw vs. Cooked Vegetables, Morton's Neuroma in Feet (HouseCall) Dec 07, 2024

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:

Audrey: Hello! Appreciate all of your insight - you are a wealth of knowledge! I'm a 32 year old that has had idiopathic thrombocytopenia since I had my child 5 years ago. Just wondering what labs you recommend for this and how to improve the numbers. Thanks! Kaylee: Hi Dr. Cabral. I appreciate everything that you do. I'm reaching out because I am at a loss for what to do next. I have dealt with chronic constipation and bloating my entire life. A year ago I cut out all dairy from my diet and started working with an IHP. She was phenomenal and for a while, constipation, gas, and bloating had subsided while working with her. Through working together I am now able to have a bowel movement every morning. However, the intense bloating, gas and belching has returned. From the moment I wake up until I go to bed, my stomach gets more and more distended as the day goes on. I prioritize Whole Foods, still don't eat dairy, exercise five days a week, prioritize 7 to 8 hours of sleep at night and live a healthier life than a lot of my peers. What should I do? Kelsey: How does glutamate affect methylation? Frances: Hi doctor Cabral, First off, I just want to say how amazing you are at breaking down complex health topics and offering practical solutions on your podcast. It's been incredibly helpful, and I truly appreciate it. I have a question about raw vs. cooked vegetables. Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurveda often recommend eating cooked vegetables to aid digestion and other bodily processes. Does this also apply to veggies we add to smoothies? I frequently use raw spinach, kale, and cauliflower in mine. Should I be cooking them first, or does blending them make them easier to digest? Thanks so much for your answer. Frances Lauren: Hi Dr. Cabral, a close friend is suffering from Morton's Neuroma in both her feet. She has had cortisone injections, tried rest & really can't find much in terms of natural remedies. Are you able to make any suggestions? Sometimes surgery is the only option but I would appreciate your expertise/guidance on possible healing modalities? Thank you!

3223: Don't Let This Hold You Back in Life (MM) Dec 02, 2024

Show notes

People often say we all have the same 24 hours, but I don't believe that to be true...

There are phases in life when you have more time and others when you have less and it's important not to compare yourself to someone who may not have the same commitments or responsibilities as you do.

That said, I do believe that most of us can carve out 30 minutes a day to work toward a goal.

And if you can find that time, I truly believe you can accomplish any goal you set for yourself!

So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3223, where I share the exact strategy I use to ensure I reach my goals each year. Enjoy the show, and let me know your thoughts!

3222: Root Cause of Hair Loss, Snapping Elbow, Which Lab to Start With, Taking Mg and Zn Together, Bunions, Idiopathic Thrombocytopenia (HouseCall) Dec 01, 2024

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…

Erica: Hi Dr. Cabral. I wanted to ask about hair loss. I have a female friend in her 30s who is starting to wake up with a lot of hair on her pillow and on her bed after sleeping. Where would you start to look for the underlying root causes of this? Thank you. Patrick: Hey dr. Huge fan thanks so much for all you and your team do. I have another elbow question for you I went And got an X-ray and it showed some ostiophytes and I have snapping elbow which is affecting my rom Ofcorse all they said was cortisone shot and pills . I'm very active and enjoy exercising so I'd love to know the best therapy and supplements to do. Thanks Montas: Hi Dr Cabral, Thank so much for this life saving information you provide in order to take our health. For the past 5 years, I have been suffering a lot with back pain, joint pain, and all part of my body. I went from doctor to doctor, they can't really help me and it's obvious because they didn't train to go to the root cause of a symptomatic disease. I have been diagnosed with TB and spent 6 months for the treatment but after 1 year this left me with more diseases. I sweat a lot night and day, I have noise in my stomach eating or not, I strangely lose pounds instead of gaining. What's the first lab test you would recommend me to do to? I can't afford big 5. Thank you! Lara: Hi, dr. Cabral.. I'm wondering if any of the following contradicting information is true: you have to be taking Mg and Zn together for better absorption and the other is, don't take them together because Zn can block Mg absorption.. I found the same for Iron and Calcium - that they should be taken 4h away from Mg so they don't block its absorption.. please clarify, so we know how to properly take these supplements.. thank you so much! happy healing, everyone! An: hi Dr. Cabral thank you for all you do. I have a quick question now that I'm 70 I have bunions that are starting to bother me. I've had them for years but now that I'm heavy into pickleball they're starting to hurt. I see noninvasive bunion fixes and I'm just wondering what your thoughts are on those are they worth it or is that just a scam? Audrey: Hello! Appreciate all of your insight - you are a wealth of knowledge! I'm a 32 year old that has had idiopathic thrombocytopenia since I had my child 5 years ago. Just wondering what labs you recommend for this and how to improve the numbers. Thanks!

3221: Hidden Thallium, Hormone Testing, Folic Acid vs. Methyl Folate, Detox Reactions, Elbow Pain After Exercise, Low Resting Heart Rate (HouseCall) Nov 30, 2024

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:

Chris: My heavy metals test showed elevated thallium but my water is fine. What hidden unknown foods/sources is this coming from? Anonymous: Hello, I've tested my hormones but didn't know it should be done by a saliva test. I'm wondering if I can still make something out of the results of the female hormones I tested in this way? Or are these results completely off? They've tested FSH, LH, prolactin, estradiol, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA-S, TSH and cortisol.. I understand it is not the same as with a saliva test, but hopefully it still means something? What should I look into , to understand the levels? I know Equlife offers tests, but you don't ship here, unfortunately.. Thank you for your help Anonymous: Hi, I've been listening to a lecture from a naturopath about folic acid & methyl folate.. apparently all the studies about it closing the neural tube of the fetus were done on folic acid, not the methylated form. It apparently only makes sense to take methyl folate if you have the MTFHR mutation, otherwise you can actually feel worse on it and better on folic acid (non methylated). I know you say methylated folate is better but I'm wondering why, if all the 4research of its efficacy for fétus development is done on no methylated folate? Thanks for the explanation Mel: Hi Dr. Cabral - thanks for your zest for all you do! I have an undiagnosed autoimmune condition and completed your 21-day detox a few months back, which was pretty uneventful without any noticeable side effects. After the detox, I had a rough stressful patch, and my diet went off the rails. So before beginning the Para Support protocol I'd like to do, I thought doing a 7-day detox would be a good idea to make sure my body was ready to handle it. The first day of the detox, however, my body reacted differently - it felt like it was on edge and dysregulated in a sense: my neuropathy flared up in an uncomfortable way, dizziness kicked in, my muscles got sore and fatigued, and my breathing felt more labored. Why would this only happen during my 2nd detox, and what can I do to remedy it? Patrick: Hey doc ! Huge long time fan. I'm a very active 50 year old male. I'm always either hitting the gym or playing sports about 5 days a week . Last week I didn't have time for the gym so I exercised at my house doing allot of push ups, dips and band exercises this is nothing new I do it all the time. Last week the day after doing this I now have horrible elbow pain it feels like it's getting dislocated everytime i move my arm and put any type of pressure on it at all . Any tiype of rehab you can suggest would be great thanks Rickardo: I have had great benefits in doing your Detox quarterly. however, i have noticed that after about 5-6 days, my resting heart rate drops to low 50's (usually I am in the 70's). I have even had it reach as low as 48. Any reason as to why this is? While i am quite healthy, i am certainly no athlete. Note i do have chronic stress which i am working on improving (which has shown through cortisol levels when i tested). Is the detox / fast perhaps a little too much for me considering i have been suffering from anxiety / high stress over a prolonged period of time, and hence why heart rate decreases to low 50's? Note i did a heart test through my GP and it came back with no issues. Also note after getting off the fast, my resting heart rate eventually returns to 70's. thank you so much!!
