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:
Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral! I recently rediscovered feta cheese, and I love it , I guess I have some Mediterranean lineage. ;-) What's your view point on Feta / Greek cheese from grass fed and grass finished sheep's and goats? Ideally unpasteurized but I would like to hear your opinion on pasteurized as well. Something we can eat on a regular basis? ;-) I hope it's a yes, lol. Or does it fit better into a flex meal? Thanks for the work you do. Wishing you a fantastic day! :-D Heather: Hi Dr. Cabral, I purchased the OS-01 Face & OS-1 Eye products based on your recommendation. Upon receipt, I scanned them into the Yuka app, which deciphers product labels & analyzes the health impact of food products & cosmetics. After scanning both items, the Yuka app rates them both as "poor," which surprised me. The app shows that they both include phenoxyethanol, which is used in cosmetics as a preservative to prevent growth of microorganisms. It states that phenoxyethanol has a moderate risk for us since it is a potential endocrine disrupter, is a potential allergen, & can also be an irritant. Can you share your thoughts on this? Also, I read research that states the GHK-Cu peptide is also great for anti-aging. Can you share how the OS-01 peptide & GHK-Cu peptides compare? Thanks! Angie: Hi Dr Cabral! Thank you for all the work you do, I'm forever grateful. My sex hormone binding globulin has been high for years. No doctor can tell me what I can do to lower it. Because of this, my free testosterone has been super low. I've had no sex drive for years and overall feel no zest for life. For the last few years- My testosterone has been around 20-25 My SHBG has been around 185-215 My free testosterone has consistently been .1 A functional medicine doc had me take stinging nettle twice a day for 3 months and it didn't help. My primary doc told me to use zinc and strength train more and the number came down a little bit, but not much. Maybe I just have to continue with the zinc longer? I do quarterly detox's, did a limited yeast protocol, am active and eat healthy. Anonymous: I want to start by saying thank you so much for all you do, you really are a blessing to us for all the help you provide! The other day, I heard on your weekend podcast you answer the question of if herpes can be cured, and you said yes. Hearing your response made me very worried and upset that some listeners may not understand the nuance and may misinterpret your answer. While you may get to a point of remission (no symptomatic outbreaks, it is very important to be aware that you still have the herpes virus and are still capable of passing it to others (it is a latent virus so it lives in your body forever). You can still asymptomatically shed viral load, and you are legally (and ethically) required to still disclose this to future intimate partners prior to physical contact. This is very important to note because there is no reliable way of testing to see if you are shedding viral load asymptomatically or not, and people are entitled to know the risk they are facing, especially since this can be a life changing diagnosis. For example, I caught this from someone who was shedding asymptomatically and didn't know they had it (using a condom), and it really almost ruined my life and severely impacted my mental health. So, in conclusion, whether or not you stop having outbreaks, you still MUST disclose this to any intimate partners Rana: Hi doctor Cabral, What factors commonly trigger awakenings during the latter half of your sleep cycle. I typically go to bed around 9:30 pm and experience good sleep until 3 or 4 am. However, after that time, I seem to wake up every half hour for the rest of the night. This disrupts my sleep quality, as reflected by the consistently red "restfulness" reading on my Oura ring. It's important to note that I maintain a regular sleep schedule even on weekends, avoid eating close to bedtime (4-5 hours before sleep), and ensure my sleeping environment is dark and cool. I would appreciate any insights you might have on potential causes. Thanks so much, Rana 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! - - - Show Notes and Resources:
