Summary

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…

Raina: Hi Dr. Cabral! Thank you so much for all the information that you so generously share! I recently had a baby 8 weeks ago. My last detox was summer of 2023 as I was trying to conceive for a little over a year. I plan to breast feed for a couple years, and would like to have another baby in that time as well. So it will be several years before I can do another detox. I am wondering what I can do while breastfeeding to support my body and also help me lose weight?I have began walking 5 days/wk, and very light strength trainging 3 days/wk. My first detox I lost 16 lbs and lost another 20 in the couple months after.. I would love to do that again, but I just can't right now. I have appx 25 lbs I'd like to lose, while breastfeeding, & before having another babe. What could best help me get there and support my body and goals?

Lisa: My adult son was diagnosed with tinea versicolor several years ago (he was a teenager), following a family trip to Colombia. He was seen by a dermatologist and treated and told it would most likely come back and that he should use Selsum blue shampoo on the effected area once a month to help clear it up. My question is - is there something more permanent he can do. I understand this is a skin fungal infection, but it seems like there should be something he can do to alleviate it completely. I saw a previous question about re: children, wondering what you would recommend for an adult, tests that could be run, etc. Thank you!

Ashley: Hi Dr. Cabral - I recently started drinking hydrogen water at the starter pH of 8.5 per your recent reviews on the topic (thank you as always for the deep dive!). But let me say... it's been 3 days and holy heck am I detoxing. Bowels, skin, headaches, post nasal drip, etc. The materials from your team state this is expected and to titrate slowly, but the materials don't explain WHY this detox phase happens drinking higher pH water. Can you talk about what's happening in the body during this phase and how long one might expect to have symptoms before stabilizing? My husband is scared to start drinking it now HAHAHA. Thanks as always for what you and your TEAM do for us!

Al: Dr.Cabral, I am an IHP not residing in the US, so I have access to different labs and supplements. The laboratory I work with offer 5x cortisol samples (the last sample being collected in the middle of the night). Is the night cortisol collection relevant for regular clients or only for specific cases? My second question is about SIFO without SIBO. Would undecylenic acid (isn't it much better than caprylic acid?) with pau D arco, Citricidal and s.boulardii be a good plan for slightly elevated yeast markers? If so, are two months sufficient? Thank you

Tommy: Hey the legendary Dr. C! I started the heavy metal detox a couple months back, and the heavy metal detox capsules themselves cause me a histamine reaction. I tried 1/2 the dose, and while the reaction is less, it's still there. I've already done the CBO protocol, I know my mercury is high so could really do with removing this, any ideas ? Should I take some hist-pro alongside it?

Thank you for tuning into this weekend's Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right!

0:00.0	All right, everybody, before we get into today's show, we are bringing back one of the most
0:03.9	popular giveaways we have ever done at Equal Life, and we haven't done it now for over two
0:09.7	years, and that is with the negative ion energy-based bracelets. These are by Therisage,
0:17.7	and they are the biobans they're called. Some of the purported benefits that are
0:23.3	members, and again, we, I mean, we sold out of all of these. It was a giveaway, but we gave away
0:28.6	over 500 in just the first two days. A lot of people are saying it helps with EMFs. It improves
0:35.4	overall circulation and blood oxygenation,
0:38.1	helps balance healthy levels of inflammation and stiffness in the body, improves pain,
0:43.5	improved overall sleep, potentially helping with immunity, mental clarity, and a boost in mood.
0:49.2	And it does this by actually improving overall negative ion generation.
0:55.7	So what I would say is this, it's completely free.
0:58.5	Put it to the test yourself because these are a $99 value, $100 value,
1:04.4	and they are yours free while supplies last on all qualifying orders.
1:10.1	For all the details and to get yours completely free,
1:13.0	head on over to stephencabral.com slash shop while supplies last. Now, enjoy the show.
1:18.6	Welcome to the Cabral concept, where board certified doctor of naturopathy, Dr. Stephen
1:23.5	Cabral shares with you exactly how you can reverse aging, take back your health,
1:28.5	and live a life full of energy and passion, with new 20-minute episodes every single day to
1:33.9	keep you healthy and engaged. Now, here's your host, Dr. Stephen Cabral.
1:40.3	All right, everybody, welcome back to the show, episode 35, 16 of the Cabral concept.
1:45.4	Can't wait to get into part two of our Cabral House calls every single weekend answering our community's questions and exactly how they are written in.
1:54.0	So I always like to say there's no prep for the show, there's no editing.
