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:

Ann: Hi Dr. Cabral- everyone out here SO appreciates all you do :) You have mentioned that there is a difference between an IGG reaction to a food and a digestive issue that would cause bloating and gas etc. Could you explain how you can tell if you are having an IGG reaction? I used to think that the bloat was the reaction. The 3 foods I am moderately sensitive to based on my Food Sensitivity test have never given me OVERT symptoms , so I'm wondering how to tell if these or any food combos are giving me inflammation without telltale rash, swelling etc. Im 61 and don't have any pressing health issues so healthspan is my focus right now and I don't want to be eating anything that may be causing me hidden inflammation. Thank you again :)

Kavita: Hello Dr. Cabral, Thank you for your incredible work! I have successfully reversed many of my health issues thanks to your guidance and support. I recently received my test results, and I am pleased to report that they look fantastic overall. However, my cholesterol levels are on the higher side. What recommendations do you have for addressing this? I walk frequently and work out three to four times a week, including strength training. I am currently focused on my weight, aiming to reach 170 pounds; I weigh 191 pounds at the moment. Additionally, I have been struggling with migraines for most of my life, and I recently started seeing a chiropractor in hopes that this will help alleviate my symptoms. I would greatly appreciate any advice.

David: Hi Dr.Cabral, Really appreciate everything you do and I can't stress enough how much of a positive impact you have had on my life and many of those around me as a result of being the health coach in my home. I've been revisiting my personal protocol to optimize for my genes even more than I do and boy is it a confusing area. Specifically, I am trying to balance MTHFR and COMT. After speaking with a methylation focused nutritionist, she recommended that I switch my DNS to beef liver and beef organ supplements (about 4-5 caps of each) I have taken Equi Life's organ complex and generally tolerated it well, but was wondering if there is a time and place (such as having my genotype) where using a whole food based multi makes sense and is better than synthetic multi-vitamins?

John: Hey dr I asked you a question on 3410 but you misread the question I wanted to know if I should stop all my supplements when I’m on the heavy metal detox not the regular detox . Just want to make sure the heavy metal doesn’t cancel out everything thanks

Tammy: As a healthcare worker, I am seeing an increase in patients with lymphedema, where the calf and ankle areas are very swollen and many times gets blistering sores and veins issues What are your recommendations for lymphedema and venous problems?

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!
