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…

Sheena: Hi Dr. C! Hope you and your team are well. I'm at 46 yo female in the thick of perimenopause, and suffering from all its symptoms and I also have gut issues too. I'm going to run the Big Five and would also like to run the Menopause and Fertility test as well. My question is, will running the Menopause test be beneficial even though the Big 5 includes the Stress Mood test? I would like as much data as possible because knowledge is power, but also don't want to purchase unnecessary tests. Looking forward for your response!

Anonymous: Have you ever heard of Cantron/Cancel/Protocel? It claims to help with C using bioelectrical wellness. "Stimulate cellular regeneration so body can regenerate/repair more efficiently, by restoring the electrical environment which determines whether cells thrive/die." It has K, NA, Fe, Ca, Cu, sulfur and a blend of phenolic compounds from flavonoid family subgroup catechins, quinones, hydroxyquinones and cyclophentenes. My family knows people that have had success with it. My aunt has triple negative breast cancer despite taking it. She is adiment that she wants to stay on it while working on lifestyle changes. Taking it limits other supplements she can take so I feel stuck in how to help her. Any insight you have would be great!

Alex: Will it boost my metabolism and enable me to enjoy all foods while keeping my weight stable if I do every other day. So one day carbs only next protein only next carbs only next protein only and so on? Thankyou Alex

Anonymous: Is it possible that an inguinal hernia could repair itself without the need for surgery? (Asking for an adult female in case this matters.) What corrective exercises would be recommended, and which exercises should be avoided? How long might this kind of hernia take to repair if it is possible? Thank you!

Patricia: I can't handle any methylated vitamins or quercetin - I react strongly, fatigue, body tingling and aches, migraines. I know the cause - mold, and I'm working on it. However my coach (not an ihp) keeps trying to push methyl's as she says this means I'm methylating poorly. I think this means I can't clear methyl's, not that I don't methylate enough. What do you think? I do have a mthfr variant, not on the primary snp but the other one, and I am a fast COMT. I am trying to figure out how to dial in my b vitamins and how to make sure I don't overdo it. I take all non methyl forms now. This is also keeping me from doing your detox sadly, as the daily nutritional support has methyl's. Any insight or pointers would be appreciated!

0:27.7	All right, everybody, welcome back to episode 3726 of the Cabral Concept. This is our second Cabral host call of the weekend. If you want to follow along with today's questions, head on over
0:32.1	to Stephencabrawl.com slash 3726. As you know, every single weekend, we answer about 10 questions from the community.
0:39.7	Five on Saturday, five on Sunday. I appreciate you, as always, reviewing the show,
0:45.7	leaving a rating, helping to spread the word. That is what it's all about. So, without further ado,

I'm always happy to answer that on the weekend edition of the show. Sheena is up first. Sheena says, hi, Dr. C, hope you and your team are well. Same to you, Sheena. I'm a 46-year-old female in the thick of perimenopause and
1:12.9	suffering from all the symptoms, and I also have gut issues too. I'm going to run the Equal Life
1:17.6	Big Five and would also like to run the menopause and fertility test as well. My question is,
1:22.2	will running the menopause test be beneficial even though the Big Five includes the stress

1:31.9	purchase unnecessary tests. Look forward to your response. Okay, happy to help with this.
1:36.9	This, you wrote in about four weeks ago. Actually, we're catching up on questions, which is great. Usually we're about
1:44.9	six weeks behind. So the big five is the best way to go. No doubt about it. So the menopause
1:51.2	and fertility test, believe it or not, is going to be discontinued for the foreseeable future,
1:56.6	only because the lab is no longer running the three unique markers to that lab, which is
2:01.9	FSH, LH, and AMH.
2:05.5	That stands for follicostimulating hormone, anti-Mularyin hormone, and leutinizing hormone.
2:12.4	Sorry, drew a blank there for a second.
2:14.4	And all of those are great to tell you where you are in perimenopause,
