The idea of rewinding biological age is one of the most exciting areas in longevity research, and new studies suggest it may come down to a few simple, daily habits.     On today's show, I'll walk you through findings from the DO-HEALTH clinical trial and how a small set of foundational interventions meaningfully impacted biological aging in older adults.     We'll look at how everyday nutrients and lifestyle habits were studied over a multi-year period, and why researchers are increasingly focused on their role in healthspan and resilience.     I'll also break down what happened when these interventions were combined, and why the results are generating so much attention in the longevity space.     Most importantly, you'll learn how small, consistent actions may play a much larger role in how we age than previously thought, and what that could mean for your own daily routine.     So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3758 as we uncover what this research is showing and how you may be able to support healthier aging and a younger biological age.   - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/3758 - - - 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?

Modern health often feels like we're constantly reinventing the wheel, but what if some of the most effective healing strategies were discovered over 100 years ago?     On today's show, I'm sharing an old-school approach from the early 1900s known as the Mayr Method, developed by Franz Xaver Mayr, and how its core principles are still highly relevant today.     I'll break down the four key pillars of the protocol and explain how each one works to help reduce inflammation, improve nutrient absorption, and restore energy.     We'll also explore how modern functional medicine has evolved these ideas using updated tools and more targeted protocols.     Most importantly, I'll show you how to take these foundational principles and modernize them in a practical way you can actually apply today—without extremes or unnecessary complexity.     So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3756 as I share the secrets behind the Mayr Cure.

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…   Jacquie: My 65-year-old mom was diagnosed with osteoporosis via DEXA (spine -2, hip -3). She's had a hip replacement & later suffered a fall that fractured her femur near the implant. Listened to your other podcasts & I wonder are there cases where the body can't rebuild bone without conventional intervention? Is there research on this? Her doctor recommended injections, saying vitamins alone won't restore bone to the needed level—how valid is that? She does quarterly detoxes & takes DNS, omega3s, vitamin D/K2 drops, & CalMag. She plans to add Daily Bone Support, reduce inflammatory foods & alcohol & increase weight-bearing exercise as able. Testing suggests she follow a limited CBO protocol. Not giving medical advice, what would you do/look into if this was your family member? Thank you!      Lynne: I don't see eggs on the food list. Is it ok to eat eggs after the detox? If so, how often. I can get fresh eggs from a local farm and I love them.      Drew: Dr Cabral, I heard on another podcast (Rhonda Patrick) there was a research study that showed high speed blenders like Blentech and Vitamix can expose you to microplastic due to ingredients hitting the side of the plastic container. this is increased if using frozen ingredients such as blueberries or ice. i have been making a smoothie for breakfast for almost ten years. i would love to get your take on this. if this is true? should my highspeed blender be replaced (Blentech does not have a Stainless steel or glass container option). should someone who may have been exposed take any extra steps to detox? thank you so much     Lisa: I seen your post on berberine and was wondering when is the best time of day to take it? Should I take it with every meal or just once a day? Should I take it before eating or after? You said it can help with fat burning even while sleeping so should I take before bed? Should I avoid taking it with my pre workout meal? Thank you in advance Lisa      Jill: Hello, thank you for your informative and educational emails. Looking for the best applications of using Proteolytic Enzymes vs. Niacin for lowering cholesterol and triglycerides and increasing HDL if calcium score is zero. What would the recommended doses be of each?    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/3754 - - - 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:    Lauren: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thank you for all you do! I am grateful for all of the helpful information you share and your excellent supplements. I've been taking Advanced cell force for a couple of months. It's really the only new product I've been taking and after 6 years at the same Armour Thyroid dose of 60mg, my thyroid is overactive and my Naturopath has reduced my dose to 30mg. I'm getting levels retested Monday, so I'm curious to see what's going on. I was diagnosed with hashimotos in my early 20s but didn't need thryoid meds until 33 years old (now 43). Just seems interesting that after so long at the same dose, my thyroid is now functioning better. I'm grateful, just curious. Thanks again!      Denise: If toxins can be stored in fat cells and GLP 1's cause rapid weight loss, what happens to the toxins? Are they released from the body with the fat or are they let loose in the body to find a new place to hide? Does taking a GLP 1 help with stored toxins or cause more harm? And how do GLP 1's affect oxidative stress. Help or harm?      Tricia: Hi Dr. Cabral - Hope you are having a great day! Quick question on your sleep supplements. I'm 56 and thought I would start taking Melatonin. My sleep is not horrible but not as good as when I was younger. I noticed your Sleep Support supplement has Melatonin in it already. When would I use this supplement over Melatonin alone? I don't take Adrenal Soothe because I take Metavolve pm which I thought that might be double dosing of some     Mohamed: Hello Dr.Cabral, really enjoy your videos. The information you provide and your experience is invaluable. Thanks for all that you do for the entire community. My question is 2 part. Firstly regarding L-lysine and HSV/cold sores. I watched your older podcast on the topic.. but is there a recommended daily dose for Lysine? Second question is regarding Mouth-taping. How can I prep to clear my sinuses. A bit nervous. Would sinus support Equilife product help?      Larissa: Hello Dr Cabral, Thank you for all that you do and your wonderful advice! I have yet another question about cholesterol. I feel very conflicted about LDL cholesterol after reading a 2024 study regarding the lipid energy model. It suggested that high LDL levels in "Lean Mass Hyper-Responders" aka people on low carb diets may have different implications. I went low carb for 2 weeks and my LDL level increased from 140 to 187. My HDL levels remained high and triglycerides low but my Apo B levels increased as well. This is while being on omega 3, red yeast rice, and berberine. I want to be on Natokinase but was told I cannot while on hormones replacement therapy. Can you help me understand how LDL works? Can I use Natokinase while on HRT safely?

If you've ever felt like your energy, digestion, or metabolism just isn't what it used to be, Ayurveda offers a very different way of understanding what may be driving those changes.     On today's show, I'm breaking down the concept of Agni, your digestive fire, and why it may be one of the most important factors in how well you age, feel, and function every day.     We'll explore how this foundational system views digestion not just as how you break down food, but as something much deeper that influences how your body creates and uses energy at a cellular level.     You'll also learn how certain everyday patterns and habits can quietly disrupt this process over time, and why this may show up in ways like low energy, digestive discomfort, or changes in how you feel as you age.     Most importantly, I'll share how this perspective can help you better understand your body and begin making simple shifts that support better long-term health and vitality.     So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3751 as we explore Agni: the Ayurvedic secret to energy, digestion, and longevity.

Most people think stubborn lower body fat is just genetics or lack of effort, but what if that explanation is actually incomplete?     On today's episode, we take a closer look at lipedema and why traditional weight loss strategies often fail completely in these cases.     We'll explore what lipedema actually is as a connective tissue and lymphatic-based disorder, why it primarily affects women, and how hormones like estrogen, chronic inflammation, and lymphatic dysfunction all play a role in how it develops and progresses.     You'll also learn why traditional "eat less, exercise more" approaches often fail, and what needs to shift instead when it comes to supporting lymph flow, reducing inflammation, and improving fascia and tissue health.     So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3750 to uncover what lipedema really is, why it's so often missed, and how you can reverse it.

Some of the most controversial discussions in health today involve whether certain anti-parasitic medications could play a role in integrative cancer care.     On today's show, we explore an emerging and debated area of research looking at three repurposed compounds being studied for potential cancer-support applications.     We break down how drugs like Ivermectin and Mebendazole are being investigated for possible effects on cancer cell structure, metabolism, and programmed cell death pathways.     You'll also hear why fenbendazole has gained attention in integrative circles, and what the current research actually does and does not show.     Most importantly, we discuss why these compounds are not stand-alone treatments, how they may fit into a broader integrative approach, and why medical supervision and proper context are essential.     So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3749 as we explore the science, controversy, and integrative perspective behind repurposed anti-parasitic research in cancer.

Do you feel like you're doing everything right… but still not getting better?   On today's show, I'm sharing the biggest lessons I wish I had learned sooner during my 10-year healing journey.   If you've ever searched for that one "magic fix," this episode will help you shift your perspective and refocus on what truly moves the needle.   We'll explore the often-overlooked factors that can make or break your progress and why a deeper, more foundational approach is the key to lasting results.   So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3748 to discover what I wish I knew back then and how it can help you heal faster and more sustainably today.

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…   Maria: Hello. I have terrible joint pain in my hands. Some days are worse than others. I am a 50 year old female and was wondering if you can suggest a supplement and maybe foods to stay away from.      Bea: Hi Doc, Thanks so much for everything that you do. I have been wondering about dosage on the back of supplement labels. I am a 5'3 115 pound woman. Do I take the recommended amount on the back or less? For example, I take proteolytic enzymes. Should I take 2 as instructed on the back or just 1? thank you!!      Skip: Hello Dr C, thanks for all you do! I keep hearing this tick season is going to be really bad. I know you generally say to strengthen the immune system with Lyme. I'm wondering what specifics you have for preventing/ repelling ticks (with humans and dogs) and for someone who has Lyme- how can they get to the root cause in addition to supporting the immune system?      Karla: Hi Dr. Cabral, I want to first thank you for sharing all of your thoughts and research with us. It has truly been invaluable to me and my family. I wanted to ask about a recent supplement I heard about on my local radio. It's called Astaxanthin. They claimed it would help with skin, vision, energy and many other things. I searched your previous podcasts and didn't see anything about it, so I was hoping you could comment on whether it's worth adding to my current supplement regimen. Thanks in advance!      Louise: Hi Dr. Cabral. I have been attempting to do the CBO Protocol for about 3 weeks now, but have had to pause multiple times because I experienced pretty intense die off symptoms. The most troubling one is restless leg syndrome. I believe it is related to the inflammation caused by the die off. It is so severe that I can only do half the dose a day, and I still get pretty bad RLS. Do you have any suggestions on how I can make it through the protocol with this problem? Would asking for temporary RLS medication be a bad idea? Is there anything natural I can take? I have tried megaigg2000 to bind the LPS, and now high dose curcumin to help the inflammation levels but I don't know what else I can do.

Have you been on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) and are now wondering if, or how, you can safely come off it?     On today's show, I break down what happens when TRT is reduced or discontinued and why this process needs to be approached carefully rather than abruptly.     In most cases, long-term testosterone use signals the body to stop its own natural production, which means there is a period of adjustment when coming off therapy (better to precisely wean down).     You'll learn what types of changes people commonly experience during this transition, why timing and individual factors play such an important role, and what systems in the body are involved in restoring natural hormone production.     Most importantly, I share a general framework for how to think about this process in a way that supports balance, recovery, and long-term health.     So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3744 to learn how to safely come off testosterone (TRT) and support natural hormone production.     Enjoy the show!   - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/3744 - - - 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?

Why does dieting seem to work at first… and then suddenly stop?     On today's show, I break down the real reason weight loss plateaus happen and why it's not because your body is broken or you've failed.     You'll learn how prolonged dieting can affect hunger hormones, stress hormones, thyroid function, energy levels, and cravings, making fat loss harder over time if you keep using the same strategy.     Most importantly, I share what to do instead to restart progress and support long-term results.     So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3743 to discover why dieting stops working and what to do instead.     Enjoy the show!   - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/3743 - - - 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?

One of the most widely used chemicals in the world may be entering your body every day through the foods you eat.     In today's show, I break down the latest research on glyphosate, a herbicide commonly used on conventional crops and frequently found in everyday foods.     I explain where exposure most often comes from, why it may be more harmful than many people realize, and how it can impact the microbiome, inflammation, and detoxification pathways.     You'll also learn how glyphosate may accumulate over time, the warning signs of a higher toxic burden, and why reducing exposure can make a meaningful difference for your overall health and wellness.     So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3742 as I go over the dangers of glyphosate and share practical steps you can take to test your levels, support natural detoxification, and reduce daily exposure through smarter food and lifestyle choices.   - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/3742 - - - 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?

What if the way you respond to your child today shapes the confidence they carry for the rest of their life?     In this episode, I break down 27 powerful ways parents can help children develop real confidence, not arrogance, but the kind of inner belief that leads to resilience, healthy relationships, and long-term success.     You'll learn how everyday actions like praising effort, allowing independence, encouraging problem-solving, setting boundaries, and showing respect can have a lasting impact on a child's mindset and emotional development.     So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3741 to discover the 27 powerful things parents can do to raise confident, capable, and emotionally healthy children.   - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/3741 - - - 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…   Sienna: Hi Dr. Cabral - hoping you can help :) I have a brown spot below my left eye, on my cheek bone so not directly below. From what I have red it is a sun spot / "liver" spot... I tried to have it removed with laser - even deep penetration into my skin with acid it came back - interesting to me if the skin was lasered away! Do you have any suggestions on how to remove it / lighten it? I thought when I read "liver" spot it's linked to detoxification but I really do a lot in this space: quarterly detox, sauna, hydration etc... if it's pigmentation do I just live with it or are there ways to remove it for good - lighten / procedurally? Thanks :)      Elly: Hi doctor Cabral, Could you help me understand the disconnect regarding HRT? To me, it feels like basic maintenance: you are supplementing bio-identical hormones the body is no longer producing, so that it can function optimally. It seems similar to taking Vitamin D for a deficiency. Is my way of thinking correct, or are there specific biological factors that make supplemental hormones riskier than natural ones? Why is there still such a strong association between HRT and cancer risk? Thanks so much for helping clear this up! Elly      Audrey: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thank you for providing so much valuable information on everything health related. I don't know where me and my family would be without you! I have looked up some pub med studies on taking cbut want your expertise. First off should creatine be taken before or after a workout to get the most benefits? Also does taking creatine with caffeine blunt the benefit of creatine. Thanks!      Kavita: Hello from Chicago, Dr. Cabral, I just wanted to reach out and say how much I appreciate your work. Since you invited people to contribute to your book, "The Rainbarrel Effect," I've been your biggest supporter. Your book completely changed my perspective on health and helped me understand my body in ways I never thought possible. I have a question about the GLP Tone system. I'm 55 years young with a healthy metabolism, and I'm active with regular workouts, walking, and strength training. However, my weight has stayed at 185 pounds, and I'm looking for ways to make progress. If I decide to try the GLP Tone system, which option do you think would be best for me? Also, will there be support from your team? Thanks, and I look forward to hearing from you! Regards, Kavita      Tricia: Hi Dr Cabral, I've tried the quarterly detox multiple times. I get to about mid-afternoon on the first day and then fail. I'm sure with all the clients you've helped over the years you have had some that are just not able to get through the first two days of shakes only I feel like that sets me up for failure. If I was one of your clients, what would you recommend for me? Is it possible I'm just not metabolically ready to start with fasting days and hopefully as I heal overtime, I will become better at this? Thanks for any guidance.    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/3740 - - - 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:    Emma: Hi Dr Cabral! I have a question regarding the sclera of the eye. I have never had really nice white sclera, even though I do seasonal FM detoxes (8 years now), coffee enemas, gallbladder flushes etc (I am an IHP2) I have also run my genetics, and I have 'optimal' detox genes. I was wondering how much of this is genetic as my parents are the same. They are definitely not yellow, but they're just not bright white. I consider myself healthy. I have had mold toxicity, heavy metals, candida/bacterial overgrowth in the past, but I think I have cleared most of it all out although I would like to retest soon. I have friends who have the whitest scleras even though they've never done any detoxing in their life :) Would love your thoughts and thank you for being such an incredible teacher!       Stacey: Hi Dr.Cabral! I'm almost done with my IHP2 & I'm constantly researching things. Lately I've been reading a lot about B1 and its benefits for people who suffer from ibs, diabetes, thyroid issues etc. Now I know the question is..why are we all so low in b1 to begin with? But I'd like to get your thoughts on this recent rise in b1 popularity. Is it something to consider or just another trending supplement and are there benefits to taking benfotiamine vs thiamine? Thanks so much! Hope you're doing well.      Darrel: Hey, Dr Cabral. I saw a report stating the leading cause of throat cancer in the USA is now HPV mainly from performing oral sex. Not tobacco. Not alcohol. Aside abstention, is there any means to prevent that from happening? I'm seeing most practitioners recommending HPV vaccine. Will that be necessary?      Nicole: Hi Dr. Cabral, I am a 41 year old female. I listen to your podcast daily and just ordered my 7 day detox, I cannot wait to start it. My question is.. what do you think I should do for my symptoms? I have a ferritin level of 5 and I am already taking iron(bovine)For the last few months I have had unexplained hives. I get them out of nowhere sometimes when I hold something on my arm or something is tight on my body. I have also had a swollen lymph node for about 5 months and have been to several doctors. No answers. I had a positive ANA test, however all the other tests for autoimmune came back negative. The ENT is not concerned about the lymph node said it is not that enlarged. But I feel it and it bothers me. I take your Berberine, B complex and Infla-sooth. Along with iron and Glutathione     Grace: How do I know if I'm over-supplementing? I take a whole list of supplements with each meal. It seems like 40% of my water intake throughout the day is just to take supplements. Especially with breakfast (as I take the supplements one at a time). At breakfast, I take iron (dried beef liver), fish oil, vitamin B complex, methyl folate, myoinositol (for insulin resistance due to PCOS), a probiotic, fiber and vitamin D. Dinner has the myoinositol, fiber, and iron. Lunch has the fiber and iron plus a multivitamin, vitamin C, n-acetyl cysteine, and a turmeric supplement. It seems like a lot. Am I over-supplementing?      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/3739 - - - 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?

I've only started to listening a couple weeks ago but all episodes I've listened to have been so good!! I'm so thankful Dr Cabral shares his knowledge with us every day. I wish I had known about his podcast earlier, I have so many episodes to catch up now!

Good morning Dr. Cabral, the only thing I can say is that as we get older, the body does not process\breakdown food as it did when we were in our 20's. The older we get, we should moderate what we put into our bodies, whether, acidic or alkaline. And learning about the pH of what fruits & vegetables {starchless preferred} the human body may use for healing properties is key. From books I read titled, "The Acid Alkaline Food Guide by Dr. Susan Brown." "The Mucusless Diet Healing System by Professor Spira", food cannot be processed before 10AM by the human body. And according to the Circadian Rhythm, that humans must eat during daylight hours, because during the night, the body should be resting, replenishing & rejuvenating the body. Cells have to be replace & waste has to be carried out through the bloodstream for elimination. But I definitely overstand what you are stating in this podcast to have both sides of the coin 👍🏽 #healthIsWealth #moveMentIsMedicine #mucusLessDiet #mindUp #re

How have you not heard of Dr. Essylstein? That's like saying you've never heard of Dr. Ornish or T. Colin Campbell.

While Cabral has some good concepts, he talks too fast and talks to technically about testing and weird ingredients nobody's ever heard of, so that by the time he gets to something that is interesting I've already space him out. I'm not an idiot but the delivery is not ideal for learning.

This podcast change my life, I've had stomach issues for 10 years no one could help or understand what I was going yhrohgh. I finally heard my symptoms describe through one of his house calls and finally felt like I wasn't alone and there was hope. I immediately ordered the candida overgrowth protocol and did the IGG food test - both of these have had significant impact on my health. I'm not 100% better but I am well on my way. I just completed the thyroid adrenal and hormone test along with the stool test and I'm awaiting my results. I can see my abs all the time now, my skin rashes are gone, my acne is gone, sharp stomach pain is gone, bloating after meals is rare now and my brain fog/headaches are getting much better. I removed all dairy,grains and eggs and now know what other foods to avoid to feel my best. My workout performance is the best it's ever been. I am continuing to get better through the use of his daily protocol and B complex vitamin, the home testing/personalized ac
