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:
Sarah: Hello! Back with another question.. Im 28 female from scotland, and have had hair growing in places I shouldn't since age 24. The hair under my chin and a bit on my neck/cheeks is what gets me down the most. My doctor has checked me for PCOS through bloodwork and said everything was fine. I've recently did your hormone test. Testosterone was great, estrogen good, progesterone was low and cortisol was low. I've been on progesterone support, adrenal energy aswell as DNS, greens, omegas etc for some time now. I also take pumpkin seed oil and saw palmetto. The hair just keeps growing. What else can I do? I've tried countless rounds of laser but it just returns. Is hair in this area always related to PCOS/hormones? Can it just be genetics? Thank you!!
Larissa: Hello! I was exposed to black mold for 6 yrs about 5yrs ago. Although my most severe symptoms went away, some longer. I've been working with a naturopath whom recommended a protocol with cholestyramine, charcoal, and minerals for about 1M. However, I've read Andrew Campbell mold protocol and he recommends itraconazole for 7 days. I did my urine mycotoxin testing FYI which still shows a high load of most all strains. Which do you recommend? I want to get rid of all the mold with the least side effects and avoiding constipation (I already have to take daily magnesium citrate to have daily bowel movements). Thank you!!!
Sabrina: Hi doctor Cabral. I'm hoping you can help me with something that is super frustrating. My stomach craves large meals for satisfaction, yet they cause bloating. Conversely, small-volume meals, despite being calorie-dense, just don't register as filling, leaving me wanting more. Is there a way to solve this, meaning training your stomach to be satisfied with smaller meals? Thanks so much for your help!
Lisa: I am a 48yr old female and have elevated kidney function. 1.1. have been told not to take creatine. I have heard multiple times that to much protein can have an effect on kidney function also. I love to workout and fir my age high protein and creatine is suppose to be good for someone who works out. Will these things truly hinder or further hinder my kidney function.
Cassi: Just completed your book, The Rain Barrel Effect, and was wondering if you have worked with anyone with EOE (Eosinophilic esophagitis) to successfully get them off of PPIs? I've also dealt with histamine intolerance, that I've actually been able to reverse through a lot of what you teach in the book, and I have also gotten down from 20mg of omeprazole twice a day to 20mg once every other day but if I go longer than that I find myself choking on food again no matter how little I eat at a time or how well I chew it.

| 0:16.7 | engaged. Now, here's your host, Dr. Stephen Cabral. |
| 0:27.3 | All right, everybody, today, Cabral host call number one. We're going to be going over five of our community's questions. Can't wait to dive into these. If you want to see these questions, |
| 0:31.7 | read right along. Head on over to stevencabrawl.com slash 3,487. That will be today's show notes. Yes. And let's, so let's dive right in. |
| 0:41.9 | First question is from Sarah. I just pulled up my document right here. Wanted to make sure I was on the |
| 0:46.4 | actual podcast for today. As I always say, there's no prep work done for these. It's literally like if |
| 0:52.6 | you were at the Remagine Health Summit with me and we |
| 0:55.6 | were just chatting and you said, hey, and you gave your question, I'm going to give you my direct |
| 0:59.9 | answer from now over 25 years in clinical practice, helping hundreds of thousands of people |
| 1:06.2 | with their health and fitness and wellness and anti-aging. All right, Sarah's up first. Let's see what Sarah has to say. Sarah says, hello, back with another question. I'm a 28-year-old female from Scotland and have here growing in places I shouldn't since age 24. The here under my chin and a bit of my neck and cheeks is what gets me down the most. My doctor checked me for PCOS through blood work and said everything was fine. I recently did your hormone test. Testosterone was great. Estrogen was good. Progesterone was low and cortisol was low. I've been on progesterone support, adrenal energy as well as DNS, daily fruit and vegetable blend, omegas, etc. for some time. I also take pumpkin seed oil and salt pome pimento extract. The here just keeps growing. What else can I do? |
| 1:44.9 | I've tried countless rounds of laser, but it just returns. Is here in this area always related |
| 1:50.4 | to PCS and hormones? Can it just be genetics? Thank you. Okay. So I always want to give you the actual |
| 1:59.4 | like straight truth as well. And it doesn't mean always that we love the answer, but I always |
| 2:04.8 | think that it's important that, you know, we understand where these things can be coming from. |
| 2:10.6 | So I have helped, I mean, 70% of my practice is women, about 30% men. And so I have seen almost all of these particular issues |
| 2:20.5 | before, and certainly this one. So what I want to share with you is that there's, there looks |
| 2:25.4 | like there's one remaining thing to still balance out with your hormones. And that is the lower |
| 2:31.0 | progesterone levels or relative estrogen dominance, okay? Even if testosterone is normal, because I agree with you. Typically, we have, like women, have higher androgens, and I didn't hear about your blood sugar, and they often have imbalanced blood sugar or insulin levels above a six. If you ran your stress mood and metabolism test, which I believe that you did, look at the insulin, is it above a 6? Look at the hemoglobin A1C. Is it above a 5.5? If there is, we still have work to do on blood sugar balance. Okay. The next part is that we need to work on if estrogen is normal, progesterone's low. We're going to do a progesterone support three capsules with dinner. And then we're going to make a progesterone support, three capsules with dinner. And then we're going to |
| 3:09.9 | make sure if we have low cortisol that you're doing that adrenal energy in the morning, however, |
| 3:14.3 | that really we're trying to improve sleep. That might be using full spectrum magnesium at dinner. |
