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:

Brenda: My adult son is very interested in purchasing the GLP-1 Tone. Unfortunately he cannot swallow pills very well especially capsules. Can these capsules be opened up and put in water and still be effective?

Stephanie: Hi Dr Cabral! I am currently on a certain medication (plaquenil) for my autoimmune that I would like to eventually come off of. I really want to do the limited cbo protocol which I tested for with a health coach about a year ago but wasn't able to do the protocol right yet. Since I am on this medication right now, I am unable to do the citracidal drops due to the grapefruit. How else would you recommend me doing the limited cbo? Are there other alternatives to GSE that I can do to try and heal my gut and get one more step closer to putting my autoimmune in remission and getting off this medication? Thank you for all your help, long time listener

Tricia: Hi Dr. Cabral - I love starting my day, 7 days a week with you! Please work forever :). You are so helpful. This is regarding Podcast 3693 when you spoke about the 2 nutrients needed for cancer defense (p53). My question is about melatonin. I sleep fairly well for a 56-year-old post-menopausal woman. How much melatonin should I start with and can you mention the risks? I know not all supplements are good for everyone. I have heard wonderful things about melatonin and cancer. On the downside I read if you take melatonin your body will stop producing it faster on its own. Is that true? Should I wait until I'm 70 to start? I'm going to start adrenal soothe too. I feel at my age without the balance of estrogen & progesterone we need more adrenal support. Any advice is appreciated.

Darren: Good day Dr Cabral. I'm seeing an increase of naturopaths saying a teaspoon of unmodified potato starch nightly leads to increase butyrate which then improves intestinal barrier integrity, lowers inflammatory signaling, enhances insulin responsiveness, and influences metabolic and immune pathways throughout the body. They say the resistant starch consumption improves glucose metabolism, reduces inflammatory markers, supports beneficial microbiome diversity, and contributes to better metabolic health. Taking it nightly further supports these effects by aligning gut bacterial activity with the body's natural overnight repair processes, including lower insulin levels, increased growth hormone release, and reduced cortisol activity. Do you agree or is it hogwash?

Darren: Hey, Dr. Cabral. Me again. I've seeing several renowned biohackers and trainers say it's a falsehood that once you start TRT, you've to continue using it for life. They say if you happen to be the 1% of men over 35 who TRT is not for (for exceedingly rare reasons), you can simply desist, and within a few (2) months, your body will have returned to its natural testosterone production levels pre-treatment. Some basic precautions while you are experimenting with TRT will help you recover quicker should you choose to stop your treatment, but even then, those who do the sloppiest TRT recover quite quickly even if they don't use a traditional PCT (Post-Cycle Therapy). Is this based on new info or is it also hogwash?
