  • 3635: Animal vs Plant Protein, Mold Testing for WA State, Clean Protein Brands, Aging & Supplementation, Traditional Chinese Medicine Extracts (HouseCall)
    Jan 18 2026
    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… Spencer: Hello Dr. Cabral, I've followed you for some time, and have now read both of your books. It seems overall, you tend to recommend less animal foods in the diet. Not that you have anything against them per se, but its likely based on some of the research I'm sure youve looked at on longetvity as well as environmental and moral reasons. Intsead of consuming a lot of animals, you eat a lot of plants, and supplement your way to nutrients. This seems odd to me, although I understand the reasoining. I venture to say, there are so many things in animal foods we dont even know of yet, just like at one time we didnt know about b vitamins, or prebiotics in breast milk etc. It just seems like a modern of way making this work, avoiding the animal food and band aiding it with supplements. I get that the soil is deplted etc, but still. Can you clarify here. I know that wasn't Youve helped another person and your struggle wasnt for nothing. Ashley: Hi Dr. Cabral - Great meeting you at RHS this year and thanks for all of your incredible work! My question is: do you have a lab/test you recommend for mold and mycotoxin testing outside of EquiLife? I am an IHP L2 based in Seattle, WA and cannot obtain EquiLife tests in WA state still. In the past 18 months I have completed the CBO protocol twice to rid myself of SIBO, E. Coli and H. Pylori (including heal + seal post CBO) and have leveraged your protocols to rebalance my hormones after a partial thyroidectomy, however I still have persistent inflammation, puffiness in my face, post nasal drip and my H Pylori recently returned for the third time. I've also had new onset of hives that turn into pustules that antihistamines do not address. We had severe water damage in our home in 2022 (in our bedroom and attached bathroom) and I am wondering if mold or environmental issues are my true root cause given the work I've already done. I travel extensively overseas for work (2-3 weeks at a time) and symptoms are always better when I am away from my home. I am planning to have our house tested for mold but want to test my body too if you believe it is warranted. Any advice is appreciated as a next step - THANK YOU! Marissa: Hi Dr. Cabral!! I did your 14 day detox and loved it! Question, is Kachava protein brand clean? Anonymous: Hi Dr. C I did the SMMT in June, cbo protocol, addressed low am cortisol and adrenal issues , did the mold prot., I do have lyme ebv, both no symptoms in a while. Off HRT, numbers were very high, doing estrogen sup and prog. supp. dhea low ad u an supplementing with that. T 4 optimal but T3 2.9 and not addressed on consult. Tsh 2.6 I've been doing the foundational protocol for a year now. my chiro keeps saying to check my thyroid, he feels it. I started daily thyroid support and i am one month in. Im noticing so much skin sagging in the last year (using One Skin) and also my vision keeps getting worse quickly. I also do the vision support i went from looking like i was in my 40's when i was 50s to looking sagging and old in my early 60s. i feel so much better than i did but what's happening? . I use collagen, I eat sufficient protein, i train , all the boxes checked. The only thing i did not do was HMProtocol Mercury and Aluminum elevated .057 and 1.04 but I wanted to take the mercury filling out before doing protocol. i have another Stress mood metab.test also that im waiting on doing . Should i do it sooner. Everything else was not of that concern. Any ideas or supplement suggestions?? my sleep has been much better as well. it's very depressing when you feel you are addressing what you can address. Thank you for all your guidance and support. Darren: Good day Dr. Cabral. Hope all is well with you and family. Given your experience with TCM, what are your thoughts on the use of Polyrhachis Ant powder, He Shou Wu/Fo-Ti, Pine Pollen, Sichisandra extract and Pycnogenol (pine bark extract)? Of course it'd be too lengthy to go in detail on the weekend show but maybe consider a Friday review? Thanks.

  • 3634: Using Colostrum, Gut Issues & LPR Symptoms, Cerebral Malaria & Tremors, Pea Protein & Kids, Improve Gut Motility (HouseCall)
    Jan 17 2026
    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: Sheena: Hi Dr C! Hope you and your team are well. I've been hearing a lot about colostrum lately and it piqued my interest. Can you speak a little about it? Do you use it? Is there a brand you would recommend? Is it safe for anyone? Who should avoid it? Side effects? I take a probiotic everyday, can colostrum replace this?? Looking forward to hearing your response. Thanks in advance! Frankie: Hi Stephen, My name is Frankie Im 21 years old, and I wanted to follow up from Episode 3382, where you mentioned my symptoms could be connected to gut issues, low vitamin D, magnesium, metals, or GERD. Since then, I followed a strict LPR diet for about two months no gluten, coffee, alcohol, peanuts, oats, onions, garlic, broccoli, beans, etc. My LPR symptoms improved by around 70%, and while I still have some mucus in my throat, its nowhere near as potent as before. During and after the protocol, I focused on rebuilding my gut with some gut-rebuilding supplements and slowly reintroducing foods. Its now been about three months since finishing the protocol, and Ive gained around 14 pounds. I also still deal with loose stool almost every day, which hasnt improved much. It’s honestly shocked me because Im very dialed in with both my food and workouts, yet the weight gain and digestive changes still happened. I wanted to get your thoughts on what direction to take from here. I havent run the Big 5 protocol since Im based in Canada, and it would end up costing quite a bit more with shipping and exchange rates. Also, I just wanted to mention its surprising how many young people my age are struggling with digestive and gut related issues. Its becoming way too common. Thanks again for all the work you do, and I hope you have a great day I listen to you every morning. Frankie Gary: Hi Dr. Cabral. Im 49, male & over the last 4 years taken a deep interest in my health. I had cerebral malaria (2003) & as a result developed essential tremor both hands. Listened to 2 podcasts & working on noticeable triggers like ltd caffeine & alcohol. It hasnt got worse, but really is there any way to reverse it? Neurologist says surgery has no guarantee. I would value the truth & if it were your wife what you would do please. So much life ahead 🙠(PS. Partner is an IHP so DESTRESS at the heart of our approach) we want to do EVERYTHING we can. Thank you Sienna: Hi Dr. Cabral - so excited about your new Pea Protein, got great feedback from the support team, however would love your response. Pea Protein safe for kids? Since DNS is I would approach it in same way, Dr. AI says generally kids get enough from food so not recommended… Do you give this to your daughters in same way you have it? Ie a little more protein in smoothies *daily* or just in baked goods like pancakes occasionally. Thank you! Happy holidays Anonymous: What are some ways to improve gut motility, I'm already on a supplement program and ginger tea. Any thoughts on massage abdominal, hot stones, any other physical techniqes?

  • 3632: Why Methylation Supplements Usually Backfire (TT)
    Jan 15 2026

    Could the very supplements meant to support your methylation be working against you?

    On today's episode, I uncover a major misunderstanding about methylation and why supplements like methyl folate (B9) and B12 don't always work the way people expect them to.

    I explain why simply adding more methyl donors isn't enough, how missing foundational nutrients can create unwanted symptoms, and what most people are overlooking when trying to support their brain, energy, and nervous system.

    So join me for today's Cabral Concept 3632 to learn why methylation supplements usually backfire, how to properly support methylation, and how to avoid one of the most common supplement mistakes I see in practice.

    Enjoy the show, and as always, let me know your thoughts!

  • 3631: How Exactly Poor Sleep Causes Weight Gain + How to Fix It (WW)
    Jan 14 2026
    Have you been eating well and exercising, yet still struggling to lose weight? What if the real issue has nothing to do with calories or willpower at all? On today's episode, I break down the science showing how poor sleep can directly sabotage fat loss, increase muscle breakdown, and slow your metabolism, even when you're doing everything else "right." Most importantly, I explain how optimizing sleep can become one of the most powerful tools for sustainable weight loss, improved metabolic health, and long-term body transformation. So join me for today's Cabral Concept 3631 to learn why sleep is not optional for fat loss and how dialing it in can finally help you break through stubborn plateaus.

  • 3630: They Got ADHD All Wrong (TWT)
    Jan 13 2026
    Have you ever wondered why ADHD diagnoses continue to rise, yet so many people still struggle to find real, lasting solutions? On today's show, I take a deeper look at ADHD and why focusing only on symptom management may be overlooking the true root causes. While medication may temporarily improve focus and behavior, it can also come with unwanted side effects and still doesn't address the underlying imbalances that contribute to attention issues in the first place. I explain how factors like nutrient deficiencies, inflammation, blood sugar instability, nervous system stress, and environmental toxins can all play a role in ADHD symptoms. So join me for today's Cabral Concept 3630 to explore why the conventional view of ADHD may be missing the bigger picture, and how addressing the body as a whole can support focus, emotional regulation, and long-term brain health.

  • 3629: The Hidden Cost of Starting Over (and How to Finally Stop) (MM)
    Jan 12 2026
    Have you ever noticed how easy it can feel to stop pursuing your goals when things get stressful or you get too busy in life and tell yourself you'll just "restart later"? On today's show, I dive into one of the most overlooked obstacles to long-term success: the hidden cost of starting over. While stopping and restarting can provide temporary relief, it often leads to lost momentum, wasted time, and a deeper pattern of quitting whenever things get difficult. I explain why real progress doesn't come from perfection or constant fresh starts, but from consistent, "imperfect action" over time. So join me for today's Cabral Concept 3629 to learn how to stay in the game, break through plateaus, and finally achieve your goals without starting over.

Beth: Hi Dr. Cabral! I get frequent headaches after exercise, even mild workouts. I feel foggy and have trouble concentrating. I've tried hydration and electrolytes, but it keeps happening. Any thoughts on why this is happening? Peggy: hi doc! I'm a 40 year old woman who on paper is "healthy" all my typical blood work is within normal ranges. But I feel awful. Im tried all the time, can't focus, get enough sleep but still feel exhausted. My brain doesn't feel like it;s functioning at full capacity. Im easily irritable and overwhelmed. I just dont know where to start. Regina: Hi Dr. C! Thanks for all you do and your wealth of information. Do you have any idea why people get red cheeks when drinking wine?
