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…
Let's get started!
Viviane: Love your podcast, have learned so much. ok, straight to the point. My hands get numb at night , both hands, and wake me up several times during the night. Started a long time ago with the left hand , but now are both. Dr. said I had a very light case of carpal tunnel 5 years a go, gave me shots and for a couple years , it was fine. Came back and much worse. went again to DR, did nerve tests and same diagnosis. Got the shots again , which did ABSOLUTELY nothing this time, but made my hands very much uncpable for a couple days. I get numb even sleeping with braces they prescribed. My hands feel sore and hurtful , tender all day from the numbness at night. it is not the position i sleep in....please give me some light. Thank you so much.
Joey: Dr. Cabral I am a 39 year old male that's an ex athlete that still works out everyday. My diet is really good and have been fasting between 12-16 hours a day for about a two years. The last three years I have been spending time coaching basketball in Eastern Europe in China(4 months). For the past year, I have been having serious lower throat pain that comes and goes usually lasting for weeks. Also while having this pain I get other symptoms such as blurred vision(especially bad in left eye), fatigue, lightheaded when standing up, dizziness, numbness in hands and feet(like they have falling asleep) and just overall really jittery and anxious. Doctor, I just feel off like everyone is moving around me in fast motion. It's really frustrated because nobody can seem to figure out what's wrong with me. Anything you can do would be appreciated. Thank you Joey
Sue: Hi Dr. Cabral, Before Christmas I was under a lot of stress at work. We took a family trip after the holiday and on the first night I woke up and half of my face was paralyzed. The next day I phoned my dr. who prescribed predinisone and antiviral medicines which I took but I've seen no improvement. My dr says I have bells palsy. Can you please help me to understand why this may have happened and how I can begin to heal my body from the inside out? its been 3 weeks and there has been no change to my paralysis so far.
Travee: what nutritional supplements would help a child with ADHA?
Matt: Hi Dr. Cabral- Thank you so much for all you are doing to help people. I have a question about my wife and some nausea she is experiencing. She gets nauseous after almost every meal (and has for years) and needs something like gum or a piece of candy to get rid of the nausea. She is 35 years old and healthy. No smoking, known medical conditions, or health "dis-eases." :) I want to try to help her so we tried to find trigger foods to no avail. It appears unlinked to any foods or times of the day. Her grandmother also has the same issue and her nausea is helped by smoking cigarettes. I would love any advice or suggestions. Thanks again for everything.
Taylor: Hi Dr. Cabral, As always thank you for the ways you share your wisdom & expertise for the community! I just received my pregnancy protocol in the mail from you. I am curious about the iron. I am planning on taking the prenatal vitamins for the next 3 months and then begin trying to conceive. Should I be taking the iron supplements now or when I get pregnant? I have heard conflicting things about if women get to much iron then they can easily overdose ect. Can you give me some more insight why taking iron is important and the specifics on if I should be taking it before conception/after conception? Thanks! Taylor

| 0:00.0 | Hi everyone and welcome back to the Cabral concept. I'm Stephen Cabral, |
| 0:13.0 | both certified naturopathic doctor. So happy you could join me again today for part two |
| 0:18.3 | of our Cabral house calls. Where each and every weekend, just like yesterday, |
| 0:22.3 | we answer our community's questions. |
| 0:24.4 | They're on topics of all things, wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging, and as I say, everything in between. |
| 0:30.5 | So looking forward, like I said, to being able to try to give back as much as I can try to pull for my practice things that I see on a daily basis weekly basis or maybe I've only seen it a couple times before but to be able to give you some insight on at least the best |
| 0:45.2 | place to start, we're to really, maybe haven't looked before, so some new insights on that. |
| 0:50.4 | And honestly, to understand that whatever you're living with, |
| 0:53.7 | whatever you're dealing with right now, |
| 0:55.5 | there is a fix to it. |
| 0:56.4 | I honestly believe that. |
| 0:57.3 | I don't think that I've seen anybody to date |
| 0:59.6 | who just said, you know what, |
| 1:01.2 | couldn't fix it, couldn't get rid of it because what happens is |
| 1:04.4 | we try something we get data from it when we figure out what that data means we can |
| 1:09.8 | then tweak it we get more data is it working is a positive effect, a neutral effect or a negative effect, |
| 1:15.4 | is it not working, and then why isn't it working? |
| 1:18.1 | And we keep recalibrating from there. |
| 1:20.1 | If you have that type of attitude, if you have that type of mindset, you literally cannot be stopped. |
| 1:25.2 | No matter what, we don't know if it's today, we don't know if it's tomorrow, we don't know if it's next month, |
| 1:29.5 | but you will get well. You'll lose the weight, you'll overcome the health issue, and yes, you will live a good, long, healthy life. That's the goal for all of us, and that's what we strive for. So without further ado, let's get right into the first question. |
| 1:43.1 | So today, all questions will be listed at Stephen Cabral.com |
