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…

Audrey: Hi Dr. Cabral, What are your thoughts on retained reflexes? My almost 3 yr old girl has extreme outbursts every day that involves lots of screaming and yelling. I was told retained reflexes could be the problem. She is extremely smart and started talking at a very young age. I know she is too young for any heavy metal detoxes or parasite cleanses so I'm not sure how to help her. I also have a 4 yr old and a NB so having some peace in the home would be nice. Thanks

Cathy: Dear Dr Cabral, I'm so thankful for you! In the past 1.5yrs I've lost 30lbs and still losing more. Approx 160lb. 5'5" 64yo female. paleo diet. No gluten, dairy, grains or refined sugar. Very few deviations. I walk/hike 4-5x wk. Recently added strength. Hashimotos- currently NP Thyroid med 30mg.Taking med for 3 mo. Chol. is higher than ever 320. Triglycerides 143 HDL 57 LDL 236 ApoB 157 HDL-P total-29.3 Small LDL-P - 846 LDL size 21.5 CRP- 1.31 Iron runs high 163. I do not have hemochromatosis.

God bless you!

Anonymous: Hi Dr. C — Big thanks to you and your amazing team for all you do. Question about purchasing pre-owned items: Are there any health concerns about buying used clothing items or bedding (sheets)? I always wash them before using them. Some people are grossed out about "used bedding," but it seems to be the same as going to a hotel: those aren't new sheets on hotel beds. Thanks.

Sarah: Hello doc! I saw somebody say that red dots (cherry angiomas) on the body can be due to poor bile flow. Curious on your take on this? Cheers!

Basak: I had a quick question I wanted to ask. I divide my time between the Netherlands and Miami, and I maintain the same healthy habits in both locations—clean eating, daily exercise, minimal alcohol, and consistent sleep. I generally feel well and have no other complaints. However, I have noticed that whenever I return to Miami, I consistently experience lower abdominal bloating. I was wondering whether it is possible that environmental factors—such as differences in air quality, water, or other environmental exposures in the U.S.—could be contributing to this reaction. I would appreciate your perspective
