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…

Svetlana: Hello, could you please talk about incomplete bladder emptying in females specifically? What is causing it and what can be done to fix it? Someone said that squatting over the toilet without sitting on it to urinate could cause it. Is that true? This is the need of having to urinate again within 15mins of going the first time with small amounts of volume and difficulty "pushing" it out. No infection symptoms.

Eric: Hi Dr. C, thanks for all your efforts! I use melatonin (extended release) regularly to help w/ sleep. A recent large international study published on the News Medical Life Sciences website, and presented at the American Heart Association's 2025 Scientific Sessions, stated that long-term users of melatonin had a higher risk of heart failure, hospitalization, and even death compared to those who didn't take it. The study looked at more than 130,000 adults with chronic insomnia. This sounds crazy to me. Any thoughts about this? Thanks.

Audrey: Hi Dr. Cabral, Is doing a coffee enema while breastfeeding safe? I know detoxes are not safe, but I wasn't sure if a coffee enema is different because the main reason is to increase glutathione

Angie: Hi Dr. Cabral, My last job I worked, there were a lot of wireless devices and 5G networks. I noticed how easily drained I would feel and I didn't even work a full 8 hours. I have been dealing with chronic pain and fatigue off and on for years now, and recently have been more cautious of how often I use technology. I am now seeing the trend of products like grounding mats and functional silver infused garments. Can you talk about the connection between adrenal fatigue and EMF exposure? And the new EMF products that may potentially reduce exposure or make it bearable to work in a high-tech environment. Thank you so much for all your help and support that you and your team provides!!

Savannah: Is there any supplement/herb/product to help someone with gastroparesis? what about acid reflux too? i'm wondering what can help with natural stimulation of the stomach nerve/muscle contractions in order to have a bowel movement. i was told that i have slow gut motility & little to no peristalsis. the only thing that works for me is senna but it takes extreme higher dosages. i completed the cbo protocol and finisher and everything was better but now im chronically constipated & have been diagnosed with gastroparesis. i use to go everyday during the protocol but now i feel that ive lost the gut/brain communication too.. as i no longer go by myself as im laxative & enema dependent. any advice? thank you in advance.

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!
