The Cabral Concept

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:    Stephen: Hi Dr. Cabral, I wanted to get your thoughts on a supplement called Protandim — a product marketed to reduce oxidative stress by activating Nrf2, support cellular repair, and promote detoxification and gene regulation. The company claims it's backed by dozens of peer-reviewed studies, but most of the research has been done in animals or cell cultures, and the few human studies show mixed results. Online opinions seem polarized — some call it a marketing gimmick, while others swear by it — so it's been difficult to find balanced, evidence-based perspectives. I'd love to hear your assessment — whether you've had any experience with it in your practice, what results (if any) you've observed, and whether you'd consider it a science-supported supplement worth considering.              Sarah: Hey doc! I've been rebounding/vibration plate/dry brushing consistently for over 2 years now. I also sauna once every week or so. When Im rebounding I notice that I get a pain in my left collar bone. I always massage the area before and after. I thought after rebounding for this long the pain might go away. Its not so painful but its uncomfortable and im wondering if this is anything to be concerned about? My partner recently tried rebounding and he said he felt pain also. We've done a bunch of detoxes, CBO, mold etc, both walk alot and exercise and generally pretty healthy.                                   Bryan: Hi Dr. C, I was wondering if you had any thoughts or opinions on Kratom. I've heard you discuss nicotine, cannabis and various other psychedelics on your podcast and their "potential" medicinal benefits but never heard you mention Kratom. Do you have any opinions on this plant? More harm than good? Just curious to hear your thoughts. Thanks,                                                                               Anthony: Hi Doctor Cabral, THANK YOU for all you do. Our 12 year old son seems to have red bags under his eyes more often than we think he should. He also has a small patch of warts on his upper forehead, a slightly bigger wart on the top of his foot and a small patch of bumps on his upper forearm hear his elbow. We had his blood work done taken and it came back with no issues. We also had a food sensitivity test done = IgE Allergy High is cashew, flax seed, green pea, lima bean, navy bean, and his IgG Sensitivity highs being turkey, with many moderate foods on both the allergy and sensitivity sides. Just wondering what your input would be. Thank you Anthony                                                                  Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral, I truly resonate with your philosophy of addressing the root cause rather than masking symptoms. I've listened to all your podcasts and read your book, and I really appreciate your holistic approach. I'm also an IHP2. My question is about blood sugar imbalances. Most natural health books I've read on this topic tend to focus on symptom management through low-carb diets. Do you have a book you'd recommend that explores how to restore cell membrane function and rebalance this dynamic at the deepest level? Thank you for your time and for all the work you do.                          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: StephenCabral.com/3592 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

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…   Gaby: Hello! Hope your having a great day. I searched your podcast for something on birth defects, but didn't find a lot. Can you tell me what causes birth defects (besides genetics) and how to prevent them (even with genetics). And if I have MTHFR, should I be concerned about using 1020 mcg of L-5MTHF? I heard that that amount can build up in the body even with this form. I'm using a prenatal with that amount and I'm hoping to become pregnant next year.                                      Derrick: Hi there. My dad is on dialysis and needs to have a kidney transplant. I would love him to see a FM doctor but at 71, the approach feels completely foreign. Please can you help with any diet/supplement recommendations / foundations that could support him. The smallest tips that provide the biggest impact would be so appreciated.              Dana: Hi Dr. Cabral, I listened to your review of the Neuropod. I was wondering if you measured the emf's? And what level were they? Thank you, Dana                                                                                                                                                   Mohamed: Good day Dr.Cabral, appreciate all the work you do and the entire Equilife team. Thanks for everything. My question is regarding IOP pressure. Laser eye surgery due to "drainage" was mentioned however it seems like it's more for "preventative purposes". However the alternative mentioned was a 20-30% risk of developing acute glaucoma. Her IOP is normal for now… no other alternatives were suggested. I feel like they are jumping to laser eye surgery (risk).. thoughts? Any other tips for eye health in general, nutrition supplements.. etc. I know you mentioned Lutin before. Thanks                                                                                                                                             Sarah: I heard you mention that you add psyllium husk to your shake every day. I am starting to add psyllium husk to my diet, but I am wondering about timing. I read that you should take psyllium one hour before or two hours after any supplements as it can combine with certain nutrients and reduce absorption. If you add the psyllium to your shake with the DNS Powder, does that not reduce absorption of any of the nutrients? I just started taking it and have been careful to take it away from my supplements, but it would be much easier to just take with my shake or meal. I really appreciate your help!           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! - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3586 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

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:    Amy: Hi Dr. Cabral. I appreciate everything that you do for the community! My question is about heart palpitations for someone in perimenopause. I notice them only slightly during the day but it seems they really ramp up in the evening. In addition, my energy plummets and I feel incredibly tired and foggy headed. I've had my hormone levels checked and everything seems fine, so I'm wondering if you have any thoughts on what I should check next. My gut tells me maybe I should look into cortisol, but I also know it could be one or multiple other factors. I appreciate your thoughts.                                      Whitney: Curious about your perspective on various medspa type aesthetic treatments like collagen tightening (usually via radio frequency/ heating deeper layers of tissue), lasers for skin dark spots or resurfacing, PRP micro needling, or at home micro needling? Wondering if these will have other damaging side effects etc? Thanks !!                               Whitney: What are your thoughts on tattoo removal ? I was thinking about getting some tattoos removed but wasn't sure if I could detox my way out of all the harmful side effects since I guess my body would have to do something with that ink that is removed ? Or is it just as harmful as is it now in my skin ? Thanks !         Jodi: Hello, I am scheduled to have an MRI with a gadolinium based contrast this Friday. The reason for it is two-fold. 1) They want to look at my pancreas. My recent blood work shows I have very high Lipase at 232 U/L and High Amylase at 118 U/L. I don't have any symptoms indicating pancreas issues. My Lipase was also high in blood work 6 months previously and has continued to climb. 2) Follow up scan for polycystic liver disease (well over 100 cysts on my liver) as well as a solid lesion on my liver which was believed to be benign when it was discovered about 7 years ago. Now I am beginning to panic as I have read that the metal from the dye cannot fully be detoxed. Is there another option for the dye? have more to say but not enough characters in this email.                                                                                                          Rebecca: Hi Dr Cabral I had an allergic reaction to an antibiotic that caused me to loose consciousness probably at least 30 times or more and in between losing consciousness I would yell in pain because my whole body went into spasms. My brain was starving for oxygen so it started taking the oxygen from the muscles because my body started shutting down. I have had brain fog really bad since it happened 2 months ago. Is there anything I can do about the brain fog?

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…   Gaby: Hello Dr. Cabral, Thanks for your work you're doing! And sorry for the long question. I am a 19 year old female, and have been struggling with gut issues since I was a baby. Bloating, constipation, diarrhea, gas, nausea, and so forth. I have had functional medicine and conventional bloodwork done. My progesterone tested low and also my estrogen was low. I have the symptoms of very high androgens/testosterone, despite conventional testing showing normal levels. Been diagnosed with low cortisol/adrenal fatigue. My thyroid panels are good. I have struggled with very low B12 vitamins (maybe from not knowing that I had MTHFR). I've had severe menstrual cramps ever since getting married recently. I can't afford more testing, but am wondering how this all connects?                      Liz: Hi Dr. Cabral, I have a very large fluid-filled, non-malignant cyst on my thyroid. When I swallow it looks like a golf ball is in there. Doctor said it's nothing to worry about. All my thyroid labs, including antibodies, came back normal. Food sensitivity test I had a couple years ago showed dairy and eggs being a problem and they were a big part of my diet for the past couple of years until recently. Am currently in week 1 of your 21 Day Detox. My question is, is there any way to shrink or eliminate the cyst without having a procedure? Thanks!                                                                                               Noah: Hi Dr. Cabral, I'm 24 and recently recovered from mono, but I've been feeling exhausted ever since—almost like my body can't fully bounce back.

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:   Michelle: Hi Dr. Cabral, I started the para Support protocol this morning. I had 16 ounces of warm, lemon & hydrogen water upon waking and a half hour later took 2 of the Proteolytic enzymes on an empty stomach and about a half hour later I drank a cup of coffee with a teaspoon on ghee (my regular routine water first and coffee 20 min later). Shortly, there after I got extremely nauseous over the next several hours. I'm in overall good health and have taken many supple     Adam: Hey Dr. Cabral, I am 15 years old and weigh 160 pounds. I am 5ft 10 and a half and I have been working out for 3 years and have always tried to have a healthy lifestyle. I have recently been interested in taking supplements to support muscle building and overall health. What supplements, vitamins, and minerals do you recommend for someone of my age? Thank you for all that you do, God Bless.                             Taruna: I have been diagnosed with oral lichen planus for 5 years now. I have been on anti inflammatory diet but keep getting flares. Using hydroxychloroquine now, and steroids on and off for flare. Want to get your opinion                                    Tricia: Hi Dr Cabral, I just listened to your podcast this morning with Dr. Axe and Jordan Rubin. I enjoyed it thoroughly and did purchase the book. The one thing they mentioned that I do wrong is I love shellfish. I live in MD so I do have crabs but not frequently. In general I do eat shrimp once a week and scallops once or twice a week. Can you give me your thoughts on if we need to remove scallops? I read they aren't scavengers. I do your quarterly detox. Would you recommend I do your parasite protocol and how often? Interested in your opinion and advice how to offset the toxins from shellfish. I can't give it up totally. Thank you!                                                                                                                                                          Kai: Hello! Thank you for all you do. I am currently finishing up my IHP Level 2 and I'm excited to help people! Im 3 months postpartum and dealing with Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS). It's a bummer to say the least. I eat organic, lots of veggies, pasture-raised beef etc. I do occasional dairy and sourdough. I also love the Equilife DNS! I'd like to do a detox as soon as I'm done breastfeeding. What test would you reccomend to figure out whats going on with the HS- please note I am a bit on a budget!
