  • 3726: Testing & Menopause, Alternate Cancer Therapies, Rotating Carbs & Protein, Repair for Inguinal Hernia, Non-Methyl vs Methylated Vitamins (HouseCall)
    Apr 19 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… 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!

  • 3725: EFSA Warnings, Workout During Detox, Sleep & Stress, Omega 6:3 Ratios, Supplements & Immune System (HouseCall)
    Apr 18 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: Bettina: Hello Dr. Cabral, I would like your opinion on an EFSA warning about three supplements: Ashwagandha Intenso, Brain Life, and Curcumin C3 Complex. EFSA reports that ashwagandha may affect the immune system and thyroid function, while curcumin may impact the liver, the GI system, and, during pregnancy, contribute to lower birth weight. EFSA sets the maximum daily intake of curcumin at 210 mg for a 70‑kg adult. Brain Life contains 600 mg, and Curcumin C3 Complex contains 1000 mg, which both exceed this limit. I would appreciate your assessment of the safety of these dosages. Justin: Hello Dr. Stephen Cabral. I just want to start off and say I think you are the most genuine and honest person people can follow right now and I love what you do. I'm about to start the 21 day detox and then plan on moving to the CBO protocol. I'm an ectomorph body type and I work out 3-4 days a week. I know in previous podcasts you have said that my body type needs lots of carbs and protein before and after a heavy lifting workout. I want to continue to try and get some workouts in during this time to keep up my strength and was wondering what you recommend since the meals are separated by 3.5 hours. I know not to workout during the shake fast days and I'm only doing those on the first 2 days since I'm not trying to loose weight. Thanks! Tricia: Hi Dr. Cabral - At different times of our lives, we all go through very stressful life events. As I've gotten older, I really don't handle stress as well. I'm 56 years old. My father is 95-years old, doing great but I see I'm doing more and more and eventually I will be doing more care giving and running between two houses. I'm preparing my cabinet with your best supplements which all have been amazing and work just like you say they do! So, thank you! I do take the Sleep Support supplement once in a while as needed. During stressful events, would you recommend your Adrenal Soothe at dinner along with full spectrum magnesium then the sleep support at bed? I know how important our sleep is and I just can't turn off my mind when life gets to be too much sometimes. Thank you! Sienna: Hi Dr. Cabral - thanks for ALL you do! I ran an omega 3 test, apparently I came back in the top 1% lol AA/EPA ratio: 4.3:1 Omega 6:3 ratio is 4.5:1 (it says the ideal is 3.1 - 3.9) Trans Fat index: 0.18% Omega 3 index: 8.33% I did run my cholesterol markers recently: Total Cholesterol 4.8 optimal HDL 1.4 (low-opt) LDL 3.3 (mild elev) Trig: 0.62 (excellent) Ratio: 3.4 (good) Also, TSH 1.1, FT4: 16 BUT FT3 2.3.... HELP! LOW Ferritin (21) I know you explain we dont look at one marker in isolation, but if it were you what would you be looking at (min effort, max dose) I do psyllium husk daily (about 10g) and Omega-3 Support as well as the foundations (DESTRESS) Any concerns with cholesterol? 43, Active, healthy, Female :) (Cant run EL labs) x Stephanie: Hi Dr Cabral! I was diagnosed with sjogrens and lupus this year and my dr started me on plaquenil. I am 33 years old and I do not want to be on this medication forever but with being child bearing age and looking to start a family in the next year, they require me to be on it during pregnancy. I have been following your podcast for years and use all of equilife's supplements, follow the quarterly detox, etc. I do the daily foundational protocol and the immunity supplements I use are histpro and mushroom supplement. My understanding of autoimmunity is the immune system is overactive. Are these supplements activating my immune system too much? What are your suggestions I do to help be able to put my autoimmune into remission? I deal with mostly fatigue, joint/muscle pain. Thank you.

  • 3723: Early Cancer Detection Test From Home (TT)
    Apr 16 2026
    Colon cancer is the third most common cancer and the second leading cause of cancer death, but the good news is that early detection can save lives. It often develops slowly over 10–15 years and may show few or no symptoms in the early stages. When detected early, the five-year survival rate is over 90%, and even if it begins to spread, early detection can still improve survival rates to around 70%. On today's show, I dive into how you can screen for colon cancer easily from home, the best tests to use, and why catching it early is so critical. I also cover prevention, monitoring, and the key risk factors to watch for. By combining healthy habits with regular at-home testing and periodic colonoscopies, you give yourself the best chance of detecting issues early and staying ahead of disease. So join me on Cabral Concept 3723 to learn more about early cancer detection tests you can do from home and lifestyle strategies that can help improve your odds of staying healthy.

  • 3721: Chemicals on Food + The 2026 Clean 15, Dirty Dozen (TWT)
    Apr 14 2026
    Are your fruits and vegetables helping your health, or silently sabotaging it? On today's show, we break down the Environmental Working Group's 2026 report, which analyzed over 54,000 produce samples to reveal which fruits and vegetables are safest, and which ones are covered in multiple man-made chemicals.

You'll also learn practical and cost saving tips for peeling, choosing frozen options, or swapping certain produce to reduce exposure.

  • 3719: Multiple Daily Bowel Movements, Beneficial vs Pathogenic Gut Bacteria, Children & Allergies, Natural vs Synthetic Testosterone, Natural Electrolytes (HouseCall)
    Apr 12 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… Bob: Toke the Bacteria and Parasites Stool Test, show very high Inflammation markers, Lactoferrin 200 µg/mL < 7.3 Calprotectin 1534 µg/g < 80 Lysozyme* 3810 ng/mL ≤ 500 I stop all supplement except DNS before the test and continue for over a month, by The time I got the results I went from watery diarrhea to a more formed stool, less urgency and went from 10 bowel movements to 3- 5 daily. With no bowel movements after 11:30 am until early next day. What are your thoughts? Thank you for all you do! Allen: Dear Dr. Cabral: One bout of food poisoning completely destroyed my microbiome, and now I have to take probiotics for the rest of my life just to feel normal. How come beneficial bacteria don't seem to colonize and thrive as well as pathogenic bacteria? You would think that the probiotics would eventually restore the microbiome — especially over a period of years — but they never do. I always hear that they're transient and can only help you as long as you keep taking them. Why is that? Thank you. Jasmine: Hi there, thanks so much for providing this option to ask questions directly to you! My son is almost 2 and has dealt with eczema since about 16 MO, has a reaction to peanut butter that causes it to worsen, the sun, heat, and water (of any sort but especially pools/chlorine) in the summer really flare it up. He is now having early spring allergies to the pollen for the first time. Would you give me a detailed layout of what you would do if he was your child? Testing/supps/protocols etc. I really want to resolve this for him and get his immune system functioning at his best! Thank you so much for all you provide-I completely fixed my gut through your protocols about 10 years back and haven't looked back!! Chelsie: Hi Dr Cabral, My husband was told by his DR. he had low Testosterone and was put on TRT about a year ago at about a 1.5 mil a week. He usually takes the full dose one time a week which I feel REALLY fluctuates his hormones and doesn't seem healthy. Through learning things through my own health journey I am worried about his does being so high. He is 6 foot 4, 280lbs and built like a NFL line backer but his Dr. seems to be fine with it as long as he is feeling good. I worry about the long term effects this might have on him the rest of his life. Is it possible to get him off of synthetic TRT and get his natural test up on it's own? Darren: Good day Dr. Cabral. I've adhered to your Himalayanor or celtic salt with lime/lemon or ACV with water on mornings. And adding a bit of salt to larger water bottles given active job and training. However, I saw Dr Jason Fung, kidney specialist, on Twitter saying "you drink a lot of water, you will pee it out. That's what your kidneys do (speaking as a kidney specialist). I drink plain water (yes, without salt) almost every day of my life, as did virtually all humans for the last, say, million years. No, I am not worried about 'dehydrating' myself by drinking water. ". This was in response to someone recommending adding salt to water in morning as plain water w/o electrolytes can dilute sodium levels and make hydration worse. Is Dr. Fung right or??
