Summary

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: Hello Dr. Cabral, Thank you so much for the invaluable insights you provide — I truly appreciate it! I have two unrelated questions: 1. Do you have any thoughts or ideas on the potential causes of snoring? My husband isn't overweight, so I'm thinking it may be related to positional factors or anatomy. He doesn't experience apnea, but the snoring does disrupt his sleep. 2. I have a product from a functional medicine supplement company containing 350mg of linolenic acid and 1400mg of linoleic acid, both derived from high-quality, cold-pressed oils. If someone has an imbalanced omega-3:omega-6 ratio, with a higher omega-6 …it seems like this product would not help balance the ratio on its own and additional omega-3 supplementation be necessary, is that correct? Thanks again for your time

Sharon: Hello. I have been listening to various topics on your podcasts. I was curious about the citricidal drops. You have mentioned you can use two drops with a neti pot and use that for a nasal rinse. How often is it ok to do this? I also see it used as a urinary tract protocol and as part of the CBO protocol. But then in one podcast, you said you shouldn't use the drops longer than 3 weeks. I'm not sure how long you use it for the urinary tract protocol (didn't see that on website), but can you use it for that and the CBO if you do those protocols back to back? How long should you wait between uses of the drops? Is urinary tract protocol only for a UTI or is it also a general urinary health protocol? Thank you. (I asked about neti pot on FB but seems like no one has used it for nasal rinsing.)

Terri: I have read a couple of studies about Berberine being contraindicated for those with Hashimoto’s/hypothyroidism because it can interfere with absorption of thyroid hormone. There seem to be so many other benefits that I thought I’d come to you, the expert, the king and master of all things health, to answer my question…would you discourage someone with subclinical hypothyroidism and not taking any thyroid hormone from taking Berberine? Thank you for taking my question and for being so willing to help out the community with your wealth of knowledge. You truly are a blessing to so many!

Brooke: I’ve been doing coffee enemas for 2+ years now, once as often as 2-3 times and week and now 1-2 times a month. I used to have a much easier time holding the coffee, easily holding 10-15 minutes. I usually do two back to back rounds 10-15 minutes each (1-2cups each time). Lately I can’t hold more than a few minutes, especially the first round. Also, I find that the day after a coffee enema I struggle to have a natural bowel movement. I’d say about 50% of the time I dont have a bowel movement the next day, is that okay?

Bryna: Hi Dr. Cabral. About a year ago I came close to scheduling an appointment with your office and hope to do so again. Lately, I’ve been binge listening to your podcast making a list of questions and decided to send a message. What do you consider to be the healthiest frozen “treat”? I have reflux & gut issues and am always looking for ways to cool things down. After comparing ice cream / sorbet / gelato I concluded frozen yogurt was prob. the healthiest. Do you agree? Do you think frozen yogurt is a healthy snack in GEN? Could not find this topic when I searched the archives. Could ask a dozen more Q’s but just want to say I found your podcast back in ‘17 and have been listening off and on ever since. I value your opinion and insight more than my PCP and appreciate any insight.

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!
