The Cabral Concept - A podcast by Dr. Stephen Cabral

Categories:

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:  Rachelle: Hey Dr. C. I was wondering if you could discuss bone cavitations in the jaw. I found one episode (660) where you briefly discussed it but I was wondering if you had anymore info on them and their implications on overall health as I feel they are pretty important/relevant. I recently started seeing a biological dentist and he did a cone beam scan after we discussed my health and found I have 4 cavitations where my wisdom teeth would have been- I never had wisdom teeth and he said this is where the follicles were that didn’t develop for whatever reason (usually nutrient deficiencies as a child). My mouth is otherwise very healthy. I’m scheduled to have the procedure to clean them out and begin to heal my bone on 6/15. I’m currently on week 6 of the CBO protocol and I’m going right into the mold protocol after as I presently have SIBO and Mold Toxicity. I’m wondering if it would be better to schedule it before the mold protocol or keep it set to after I’m finished everything? I know you can’t give medical advice but I’m asking for your professional opinion for what you’d do. Any insight is greatly appreciated! Thank you! Ben: Hi Dr Cabral, Huge fan, I listen daily for years now. Thanks for all you do. I have a question. I've repeatedly noticed if I drink any kind of herbal tea, including ginger and peppermint in the daytime, I sleep poorly that night. I will wake up in the middle of the night and be up for an hour or two. None of these teas have caffeine at all. I’ve also noticed the same thing when I take more than 5000 IU of Vitamin D. Have you heard of herbal tea or too much vitamin D keeping people awake? I'm especially curious about the non-caffeine herbal tea. It's so confusing. Many thanks! Ben Patrick: Hey dr cabal hope all is well . I’m thinking of switching gyms for now since all the saunas are closed still ,the gym I’m thinking of joining has a stand up red light therapy booth I heard your podcast a few weeks ago saying your all for red light therapy but could standing in a booth be to much. Thanks and keep up the great work. Terri: Hello Dr. Cabral, I have followed your work for over 5 years and am currently studying to receive my IHP level 2. There are no words to express my gratitude for the impact you've made in my life! I recently ran the hormone and stress test. My estrogen, progesterone, and DHEA levels were all in the low range but my testosterone was higher (49). I'm 49 yrs. old, relatively fit, close to ideal body weight, have good energy and overall health. I just started supplementing with Vitex. I would like to add DHEA but am concerned about the high level of testosterone. Why would my testosterone be high when all other hormones are low? Thank you in advance for your time! Terri Sarah: Hi Dr Cabral Dealing (struggling) with CIU for 6 months now, cannot accept "idiopathic" as an answer...there has to be a root! Delayed Pressure Hives, Exercise Induced Hives, random hives even while sleeping, also flushing of one ear and cheek, and angioedema (eyelids). All bloodwork looks great: hemogram good, all allergy IGE absent, normal results for: WBC, differential, AST, Thyroid peroxidase, thyroglobulin antibody, ALT, Alkaline Phosphatase, C-reactive protein, Sed Rate, No Heb B or C, Magnesium, no lyme, etc. I normally eat a healthy diet but lots of the foods are high histamine (tomatoes, avocados), so I even tried a low histamine diet (torture) for a few weeks with zero impact. I asked my doc if there would be any gut issues that I may need to resolve but she did not think so. I added camu powder, B vitamins, D3, and a low histamine probiotic to my diet a few days ago to see if there are any benefits, we shall see! I would be so grateful for any ideas you may have! This is impacting my quality of life and I am nervous to go to work now b/c it is so embarrassing. Thank you so much for all the good that you do in the world, and all the help that you provide people! Sarah Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral. I discovered your podcasts through an online nutrition and fitness program that I joined which you happen to be on the board of. I am having great success with my fat loss, energy level, and sleep. Your daily podcasts have been a part of my morning routine and self care for at least 5 months now, so thank you for being so great. Sometimes, I have to admit, you are a little above my head with some of the terminology and science, but for the most part I have learned so much information that has helped me make even better health choices for myself and my family. I recently purchased some supplements from your website in order to reach the minimum amount required to receive a free lab. I was so excited to begin investing in labs because that is something I haven't done before. I just want to be as healthy as possible at this point in my life. I was so disappointed to receive an email informing me that you do not ship to my state. What is the reason for this and do you foresee this ever changing?
