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…
Valerie: Hi Doctor Cabral, I have a quick question I hope you can help with. I often make 32oz smoothie bowls and usually eat half. But sometimes I eat the whole thing, and I end up with upper stomach pain and a feeling like the smoothie is coming back up for the rest of the day. It goes away after a few hours, but my stomach feels stretched and sensitive for a few days afterward. This only happens when I eat large amounts of smoothie, not with other foods, so I think it’s the quantity. Do you think something else could be going on? Thanks so much for your answer!
Angie: Hi Dr. Cabral,Thanks for your love for research in the health field. My husband was diagnosed with diabetes and wanting to help him naturally, I told him I would try out berberine and see if it gave me any reactions before he took it for diabetes. When I started taking it I noticed that I could tolerate more foods, like beans and other things that typically gave me a histamine reaction. It seemed to calm down my system. I would like to continue taking it so I can eat more foods without reactions, but I am hearing from the natural health community that it can kill off bifidobacteria. I only take one 500mg at lunch and one 500mg at dinner. My questions are 1. What does Berberine do that it allows me to eat more foods and 2. Is there any reputable research on long term use of Berberine?
Lenny: Thank you so much for all your hard work and for taking the time to answer our questions. I'm a big fan of post-workout smoothies, and my go-to recipe includes banana, spinach, broccoli, blueberries, avocado, dates, protein powder, cacao, chia and linseeds, creatine, ashwagandha, stevia, coconut, and cacao nibs. I do feel a bit bloated afterward, but it's the best way for me to get all these healthy ingredients in. What are your thoughts on this smoothie combination? If it's not optimal, do you have any suggestions for improvements? Thanks again for your help!
Christine: What Omega 3 gel caps do you recommend?
Gine: Hi Dr. Cabral - I am seeking guidance on how to manage my husbands dx of a biscupid aortic valve with anyeurism of ascending aorta. Both his parents of this but no anyeurism at 65. My husband is 41 and we found out 2 years ago his anyeurism was 4.8cm, then last year went down to 4.5cm, now this month back to 4.8cm. If this is accurate with the rate of growth they will inevitably rec. surgery which of course we want to avoid. Is there anything you’d recommend that could possibly reduce the size of anyeurism, prevent further growth and avoid surgery? I have him on DNS, omegas, vit D, berberine+, mag & probiotic. My son was born with the bicuspid as well and I want to make sure I do everything in my power to set him up for success and hopefully avoid ever having an anyeurism. TYSM!
