3841: Does a High Fat Keto Diet Double Blood Sugar? (WW) 08/12/2026

3841: Does a High Fat Keto Diet Double Blood Sugar? (WW) There’s been a lot of discussion recently about whether a high-fat ketogenic diet can actually cause blood sugar levels to double and lead to insulin resistance. While the headlines may make it sound simple, the reality is much more nuanced. The way your body responds to a ketogenic diet can depend on how long you follow it, the types of fats you consume, your overall calorie intake, and your current metabolic health. On today’s show, I break down the latest research behind the claims surrounding keto and blood sugar, explain what may actually be happening when blood sugar rises after following a low-carbohydrate diet, and share why the right nutrition plan may look different depending on your individual needs. So join me on today’s Cabral Concept 3841 to discover whether a high-fat ketogenic diet really can double your blood sugar, what the research may be missing, and why taking a personalized approach to nutrition may be more important than following any one diet plan.

3840: The #1 Food Most Consistently Linked to a Longer Life? (TWT) 08/11/2026

3840: The #1 Food Most Consistently Linked to a Longer Life? (TWT) Living a longer, healthier life isn’t just about supplements, exercise, or following the perfect diet. Sometimes, it comes down to something as simple as making sure you’re consistently eating the right foods. Research has repeatedly identified one particular food group as being strongly associated with longevity and a lower risk of several major health concerns. And while it may not be the first food that comes to mind when you think about living a longer, healthier life, the research behind it is surprisingly compelling. On today’s show, I break down the research behind this longevity-promoting food and share 7 reasons why it may be one of the most important foods to include in your diet. I’ll also share simple ways to incorporate more of it into your daily routine, even if it’s not one of your favorite foods. So join me on today’s Cabral Concept 3840 to discover the #1 food consistently linked to a longer life, the 7 reasons it may have such powerful health benefits, and simple ways to get more of it into your diet.

3838: Kidney Stones, Sugar vs. Sugar Alcohols, Oak Processionary Caterpillar Exposure, Thyroid Medications & Protocols (HouseCall) 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… Maria: Hi, thank you for all you do. You’re just an amazing person. My friend had a painful kidney stone in the Er , doctor said it was so close coming out per the images, gave him some morphine we went home next day no pain so at that point, we thought he passed it. A month later the same thing , after images they saw that it got stuck in a comfortable place, so they had to do a procedure to get it out. Meanwhile, he was having stomach issues, diarrhea, couldn’t eat, and stomach hurt. Then his mind started racing then he had anxiety. They are giving them pills to take for the pain and then now they’re giving him anxiety pills. He’s never had stomach problems since the kidney stone happen. What can we do next? Thank you!!! Bryan: Hi Dr. Cabral. I'm assuming this is a question you've been asked before or least know the answer to but I wanted to ask you something on sugar. If you had to choose between added sugar or sugar alcohols (Erythritol etc) being the worse of two evils which one would you pick? I thought the answer would definitely be added sugar but I've heard a number of health "experts" in this field talk negatively about sugar alcohols. Just curious to get your take and clear up the issue once and for all. Bettina: Hi Dr. Cabral,I’d like your recommendation on what to do if someone is exposed to the hairs from the oak processionary caterpillar (Thaumetopoea processionea). This species has unfortunately spread to Denmark, where it normally doesn’t exist.Contact can cause: Skin: Caterpillar dermatitis with intense itching, redness, and blisters. Eyes: Painful conjunctivitis. Respiratory system: Coughing, throat irritation, and in rare cases asthma‑like breathing issues.What would you suggest supporting or doing after exposure? Thank you so much. Richard: Hello Dr. Cabral, thank you so much for doing your daily podcasts. All the listeners including myself learn so much from them and the information you provide is invaluable for us to help ourselves and our loved ones. Over the years I've incorporated what I've learned from you & I can feel that I'm slowly getting better. I'm pretty sure that soon I will put my autoimmune disease into remission and finally heal for good! I just have a quick question. I will be taking the Vinco thyroid glandular again soon and I was wondering if it can be taken with things like florafilm, proteolytic enzymes & probiotics while maintaining its full effectiveness? I take the latter 2 daily and I would like to continue while adding the glandular. Is there anything that it can't be taken with? Thanks so much!

3837: Cannabis & Anxiety, CBO Protocol & Liver Mass, Environmental Allergies, Microdosing CBD & THC, Smelling Smoke (HouseCall) 08/08/2026

3837: Cannabis & Anxiety, CBO Protocol & Liver Mass, Environmental Allergies, Microdosing CBD & THC, Smelling Smoke (HouseCall) 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: Amanda: I am perimenopausal and struggle with sleep, ADHD, and anxiety (among other things). I would like to use cannabis (where legal) to help with my sleep struggles, anxiety, and ADHD symptoms. Is THC, in any form, considered a valuable supplement? Anonymous: Good morning doctor, always looking forward to your "ask cabral" Housecall podcast every weekend. Been doing research on the gut-liver connection, an interesting study correlated gut dysbiosis with hepato-carcinoma. I know you dont provide health/medical advice. But if someone, hypothetically speaking, wanted to address the root cause of an (unknown) liver mass (biopsy results pending), with elevated liver enzymes.. Could the CBO protocol work. if not.. what foods can optimize the gut. Currently using Cermonial Organic Matcha green tea, Mediterrian diet (EVOO).. melatonin. Any other good ones? Thanks P.S thanks for introducing me to the wonders of Sulforaphane (broccoli sprouts)! Struggling in Texas: Hi! I did allergy testing at the allergist: no foods but SO MANY environmentally. Grasses, trees, molds, cockroaches….what direction do I go? My dr said shots but don’t love that thought. I have to do something because we have allergens year round and I constantly have so much inflammation from it. Thank you! Elizabeth: Hello Dr. Cabral! I wanted to know what your thoughts are on microdosed Gummies that contain CBD and THC? So thankful for you and for your teaching. Vicky: I’m so thankful to have discovered you Dr. Cabral- appreciate your generosity + support for all of us out here pursuing wellness. Do you know what causes people to smell smoke when there isn’t any? It had gone away for months, since I started down your protocol roadmap actually, but recently a cold turned into the sinus infection (which it often does) and the smoke smell is back on and off again. So far I’ve completed all protocols before mold, and half of mold. Mold detox put my immune system under a lot of stress which contributed to my getting a sinus infection for the first time since starting my detox journey. I have many system issues like many of the people you help - nervous, hormonal (neurotransmitters), immune, and digestive to name a few. Can’t wait to hear what you know!

3833: Why You Can Have High-Histamine Symptoms Without Eating High-Histamine Foods (TWT) Histamine issues are often blamed on the foods we eat, but the truth is that your body can produce excess histamine even when you are avoiding high histamine foods. Many people eliminate foods like aged cheese, fermented foods, wine, and cured meats, yet continue to experience symptoms such as itching, hives, allergies, reflux, inflammation, and poor sleep. On today’s show, I explain why high histamine symptoms can occur even without consuming high histamine foods and uncover the hidden root causes that may be contributing to these reactions. We’ll explore how immune system imbalances, gut dysfunction, food sensitivities, environmental allergens, mold exposure, chronic stress, and other factors can all play a role in excess histamine production. So join me on today’s Cabral Concept 3833 to discover why you may be experiencing high histamine symptoms and the steps you can take to support your body’s natural ability to rebalance and heal.

3832: Focus On This, Instead of the Outcome (MM) 08/03/2026

3832: Focus On This, Instead of the Outcome (MM) Most people become discouraged because they focus too heavily on the results they want instead of the daily actions they can control. Whether you're trying to lose weight, improve your health, build a successful career, or strengthen your relationships, meaningful change rarely happens overnight. Lasting results are built through consistent habits and small actions repeated over time. On today’s show, I explain why focusing too heavily on the outcome can lead to frustration and discouragement and why shifting your attention toward the process can help you stay motivated and committed. I'll share ways you can change your focus and approach your goals differently so you can stay motivated through the ups and downs of the journey. So join me on today’s Cabral Concept 3832 to discover how focusing on the actions you can control can help you stay consistent, create lasting change, and ultimately achieve the goals you're working toward.

3831: Benefits of Sauna, Detox & MCAS, Using Estrogen Cream, History of Ayurveda, Waking at Night Feeling Sick (HouseCall) 08/02/2026

3831: Benefits of Sauna, Detox & MCAS, Using Estrogen Cream, History of Ayurveda, Waking at Night Feeling Sick (HouseCall) 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… Michelle: Hi Dr. Cabral! Thank you for ALL that you do! During the summer I hardly use my sauna because I'm sweating most days between early morning runs (super humid here), trail maintenance, trail runs, afternoon walks, etc. I'm sure I'm missing out on other benefits of using the sauna, however? Should I still be incorporating a 20-30 minute sauna 4-5 days per week? Jackie: My husband has mcas, and has full body itch/flush triggered by temperature change, loud stimulus and is hyper sensitive to smell/light. We tried histpro and vitamin C and it made his symptoms much worse by day 3 we stopped after day 5 and it took about a week to go back to his baseline. Any thoughts as to what happened? He Wants to do 21 day detox but really struggles to keep weight on as it is staying above 9% bf is a challenge . For context eats auto immune paleo,no alcohol and strength training is light to moderate 4 days /week.for over a decade. If you had to estimate what % of the benefit that comes from a 21 day detox is attributed to the 2 day fast and reduced calories? Trish: Good morning! QQ on women's health post-menopausal. Somewhat intimate question listeners for small children. Your opinion please on using a low dosage of women's estrogen vaginal cream to help keep the vagina tissues from thinning etc.. Thank you in advance. You are an amazing human being and are so appreciated for all you do to help us with longevity and aging gracefully. Richard: Hi Dr. Cabral, my question is on the origins of AYU medicine, I hope thats ok. I have always been fascinated with our ancient history & am wondering which civilization came up with AYU medicine. Was it the Indus Valley Civilization? You mention the system is at least 6k years old but the earliest dates of the IVC I can find are around 3300BC. Its widely accepted that Sumer was the earliest civilization which started around 4000BC but that was in Mesopotamia and not modern day India. The dates don't add up. I believe you 100% I just want to know more info on this & Im wondering if this is a case of manipulating history by the archeology industry. I have listened to podcasts with Graham Hancock & many others talking about our ancient history. They reveal convincing evidence that modern archeology is intentionally covering up certain structures, incorrectly dating them & fabricating info about civilizations. When I tried researching AYU many sources claim that its pseudoscience. Would love to hear your thoughts on all this, the truth about the origins of AYU and in what language were the texts written in 6000 years ago. Thank you!! Erin: Hi! This has been happening randomly for years & no dr has solved it. I go to sleep easily but I will wake up feeling awful & it’s usually around 12:30-1am. Armpits sweating, muscles crampy, heart rate is so fast, stomach looks 6 months pregnant. I will eat something, drink and once i can start burping the heart rate slows back down and i start feeling better. I have noticed it happening more when it’s really hot and humid out and certain molds are high. I have also noticed it happening when I eat around 1500 calories. I am a female and macros say i should be at 2,000-2200 for my activity level. Would this difference in calories cause this? I am wanting to loose some weight and it has been impossible due to this. My gut says adrenals but why did this start happening? So frustrated Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes and Resources: - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

3830: Cleanse for Inflammation, Bed Wetting, HRT & Sleep Problems, Reverse PCOS & Enemas, MCAS & Immune System (HouseCall) 08/01/2026

3830: Cleanse for Inflammation, Bed Wetting, HRT & Sleep Problems, Reverse PCOS & Enemas, MCAS & Immune System (HouseCall) 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: Alicia: Hi there, thank you for your time. I would like to know what kind of cleanse you would suggest for someone who has arthritis, neuropathy and gut issues. Lots of inflammation and already gluten free. Has had a long standing relationship with pharmaceuticals due to multiple injuries and is now off prescriptions but dealing with a fragile nervous system and digestive system. Thank you. S: Hi Dr. Cabral. Our 11 year old son still wets the bed from time to time. In fact lately, it’s gotten worse. He is top of his class, a heavy reader, extremely inquisitive and very very active and talented in sports. BUT he is small for his age (15th percentile) and hyperactive at times. Any advice would be invaluable. Thanks. Joy: Hi Dr. C, Thanks for all you do! Let’s assume you have a post-menopausal family member who read the book Estrogen Matters and made the decision to go on HRT for benefits to brain, bones and symptom relief. She feels better but still has terribly disruptive sleep. She took the Stress, Mood and Metabolism Test and had values indicating high nighttime cortisol and elevated hormones except DHEA which was out of range low. She’s done CBO protocol and has been on the sleep protocol for a month with limited relief. Would you suggest she get off HRT or continue HRT while incorporating something else to get to more optimal ranges or do you think it’s mainly the nighttime cortisol that’s causing the sleep problems? Seems like both issues may be impacting. No room here to share specific values. Anonymous: I did tests from EquiLife and am working to reverse my PCOS symptoms. Long story short I still have high testosterone despite working at it for a few years and alleviating a lot of other symptoms. HTMA and OAT showed low vitamins and minerals even though I have been supplementing and eating well for years. So we looked at digestion and stool testing revealed an IGA of 4, low elastase, low propionate, NG for Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus, few commensal bacteria, no dysbiotic flora or yeast. I worked through the mold protocol and am now on the heavy metal. As part of my protocol, I have been doing weekly enemas. I am on month three of doing them weekly and today I passed what I believe was a mucus plug hours afterwards. Is this something to be concerned about? Can I continue enemas? Jana: 39 female. 3 years w/ your coach I’ve healed my gut, finished all your protocols & testing.I continue w/ your supplements & suggestions (sauna, walking).I’m struggling with chronic fatigue & inflammation, immunodeficiency, nasal MARCONs (past exposure) & scalp psoriasis.I’ve had infections most of my life (strep, pneumonia, bronchitis, sinus).Doctors suggested Pepcid + Allegra 4x daily (MCAS) + LDN (hEDS).I'm trying to avoid lifelong biologics + immune therapy.Does your histamine protocol replace/support the suggested Pepcid/Allegra combo for MCAS?What recommendation for rebuilding my immune system?15 of 22 pneumococcal titers are nonprotective despite 3 PPV23 vaccines. I take Histpro + Vit C & Inflamma Soothe + others. Increase dosage? Need guidance on supplementation & what else to try.

3824: Heart Rate While Running, Taking Electrolytes, Pets & Parasites, Positive Lupus Markers, Best Chick Peas (HouseCall) 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… Emily: Hi Dr Cabral, thank you for the work you do sharing reputable information with the masses. I'm 39 years old, 10kg over ideal BMI weight, and am a beginner runner. I am running at a slower pace (7-8 mins per km), but my heart rate gets up to a max HR of 180 after maybe 5 minutes then stays there until I walk. I have a Garmin smartwatch so know this is in the 'maximum' HR area. My question is: Is that ok? Is it only because we have monitors these days that we worry about generic metrics? I also know the smartwatch algorithms are based on men, so do I need to worry - or not run at all? I feel well when I run and after, but have a family history of heart disease so don't want to do any damage. Appreciate you! Emily from Australia Jenny: Hi Dr Cabral - there seems to be a lot of promotion and recommendations lately for daily electrolytes. You mentioned recently who should/should not take them. What about brands? What should we look for and how often can they be taken? Of course the best option is the natural one you recommend - water with sea salt with lemon or lime. But what about brands to buy for when we’re on the go? Thank you so much! Gina: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thank you for everything you do and I'm so grateful to be a part of our IHP community! I had a question for you regarding pets and parasites. I know we can get parasites from our pets and our sheepadoodle sleeps in bed with us like a person. Is there a protocol that you recommend or use for pets to eliminate parasites? I know they sell various options at the pet store but would like to use a brand or method that you trust. I also wanted to ask if you use anything to remineralize your pets' water. Our dogs drink reverse osmosis but didn't know if I should add anything else to their water. Thank you, Gina Gina: Hi Dr. Cabral, Me again with one last question for you. A few years ago, I had a significant autoimmune flare and had positive Lupus markers when my PCP ran bloodwork (ANA and dsDNA). I worked through the functional labs, protocols, made lifestyle changes, and the next time she ran bloodwork, I was symptom free and both markers were negative. I've been symptom-free since then and these markers have remained negative for two years. Recently, both markers came back positive, but the thing is that I feel great. Should I be worried about tissue damage if ANA is positive? I feel grateful that I know what to do this time around, but would appreciate any advice. We also found mold in our house, so working on mold detox and remediation. Thank you so much for everything you do, Gina Lily: Hi Dr. Cabral, I was wondering, what is the best source for chick peas? Should we stay away from canned chicked peas? Also, is it ok to cook them?

3823: Hyaluronic Acid & Osteoarthritis, RingConn Sleep Device, Magnetic Sleep Pads, Preventing EBV, Toenail Fungus (HouseCall) 07/25/2026

3823: Hyaluronic Acid & Osteoarthritis, RingConn Sleep Device, Magnetic Sleep Pads, Preventing EBV, Toenail Fungus (HouseCall) 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: Tina: Hi Dr. Cabral, thanks for all you do. You really are fantastic! I’m 51, and my mother is 82. She is suffering from very painful osteoarthritis and doing most of the recommended things without relief. I’m constantly doing research to try to help her and also stave this off for myself in the future. There seem to be studies showing that 120 mg of hyaluronic acid is helpful for osteoarthritis, I am taking your proteolytic enzymes and Inflammasoothe, but I’m considering replacing my standard collagen supplement and the HA supplement with your advanced collagen support. I know you can’t give medical advice, but can you explain why advanced collagen support may work just as well or better than a standard, cheaper, hydrolyzed collagen plus an HA supplement with a higher dose of HA? Thank you! Bryan: Hi Dr. Cabral. Wanted to know if you had an opinion on the RingConn sleep device. I know you use the Oura ring for sleep tracking and speak highly of it but I don't think I've ever heard you mention this device. I like the fact that there's no subscription required but wonder how it fares in terms of accuracy. Is it on par with the Oura do you think? Just curious. Best, Bryan: Hi Dr. Cabral, Have you ever heard of or tried magnetic sleep pads? I came across one company recently which has been around for a number of years. Just wondering if there was any real science behind the whole idea of magnetism and sleep. As someone who suffers from insomnia (kind of of) I'm always on the lookout for ways to improve my quality of sleep and wanted to get your thoughts. Ever tried one before? Best, Emily: Hi dr Cabral, I am hoping to get your expertise on Epstein Barr virus and supporting our children for prevention of EBV. I personally had mono as a teenager and in my 30s now I had an EBV flare up again, I am working with a functional provider to clear this. How can I support my children to not get EBV or if they get how do we support to tackle clearing it right away? Thank you Jen: Thanks for your continuous education and resources you provide on this podcast. I listened to a podcast where you briefly mentioned that a patient of yours was using the Ozone machine from Therasage to get rid of stubborn toenail fungus. My husband has had this problem for over 40 years and all his toe nails have the fungus. I was wondering if your patient was able to get rid of the fungus with just the Therasage ozone machine or do you recommend any additional remedies? Thanks for all you do!

3817: Cobalt Allergy, Anorexia & Protocols, Low Tolerance for Protocols, Taking Prednisone, Testing Hormone Levels (HouseCall) 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… Becca: Hi Dr. Cabral! My husband is challenged by a "cobalt conundrum". Several years back he was overexposed to wet cement, spending hours mixing it with his hands. (Big mistake) Shortly after he developed a severe body rash along with painful cramps and diarrhea. After many tests, they found an allergy to cobalt via a skin test, and we assume it relates to the cement mixing incident. Severely limiting cobalt both topically and in diet has helped, but he still struggles with GI issues. Functional medicine tests showed leaky gut. He attempted treatment but even one basic supplement (dairy free igg) caused severe stomach issues. Meanwhile he's missing vital nutrients from avoiding b12 (cobalt) etc. How can he address leaky gut and allergies when he's so sensitive to treatments? Signed, Your Fan Ally: Hi Dr. Cabral, I am a new Level 2 graduate and I have a new client who is 20-years old with a history of anorexia. she is 5-years post treatment. She complains of bloating, constipation, and just having trouble eating. She is of normal weight, and is looking for relief. I was thinking of doing the Big 3 labs and the CBO protocol.. Any recommendations would be very appreciated. I do not want to recommend the wrong plan of care for her. Warmest regards, Ally :) Tommy: Hey Dr. C, I’m an IHP, 36. Had a birth defect, 3 operations by the age of 8 including tonsillectomy. Sleep issues began at 9, insomnia by 12, eczema, fainting, 14 years of steroid creams and thousands of antibiotics. I’ve got high heavy metals and Citrabacter freundi. I can’t tolerate any protocols even at a lower dose, they make my existing problems worse. On days where I train intensely I struggle to shut off. I feel like my body is always stuck in a low level of stress. I’ve cut down my training a lot but I’m not sure what else I can do. I’m tolerating zinc Carnosine which helps but I still always have red skin on my face. Still struggle to tolerate stress. If only I could do a heavy metal protocol. Sarah: Hi! Hope you are well and love tuning in daily to learn from you! I have been trying to heal leaky gut and chronic hives for over a decade now. Because I am very reactive I stop and start a lot. However, I recently gave in and started a low dose prednisone and over a couple weeks lost 10lbs of inflammation, hives gone, that I couldn't break with any diet (restriction), exercise etc. I would like to do some testing and do the CBO protocol as this started after antibiotics. My question is, will this skew the results of cortisol/A1C and will it be okay to continue on to keep symptoms calm while getting to the root and going through some protocols? Thanks! (BTW) I have tried all the natural stabilizers and didn't help calm symptoms. (Quercetin, Vit C, Mag, etc) Sienna: Hi Dr. Cabral, this is a follow up to my question on 3782 re testing for perimenopause please. Thank you for your guidance and if I could run EL labs I would. I have NO access to Saliva Testing in my country (and EL don't ship here). So I know about SMM & Fertility Labs but can't run them so I am *specifically* asking IF estrogen & progesterone tested by an endocrinologist (BLOOD) have ANY value as a way to look at levels? LH, FSH & AMH are great as I can get these from bloods, can you please provide the healthy ranges vs. perimenopause? Would really appreciate it as this is the only option I have to look deeper & PCP here don't have a functional approach so really value your guidance on anything you can share to help me support my body.

3816: Greek Yogurt & Inflammation, Vomiting After Eating, Mass on Liver & Diet, Fainting & Seizures, Inconsistent Bowel Movements (HouseCall) 07/18/2026

3816: Greek Yogurt & Inflammation, Vomiting After Eating, Mass on Liver & Diet, Fainting & Seizures, Inconsistent Bowel Movements (HouseCall) 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: Lauren: Hi Dr. Cabral, Awhile back, I learned about Manuka honey from your show- and I wanted to thank you! It's become one of my favorite treats. I wanted to ask you about Greek yogurt. Is it good for us? Is it okay to eat every day? I love adding a little manuka and blueberries to it. Its been my daily treat but I wasn't sure if it causes inflammation like other dairy products. Thank you!! Eliza: Hi Dr. Cabral, I’m having nausea and vomiting 5–10 minutes after eating, mainly after lunch and dinner, rarely breakfast. I’ve also had weight loss, fatigue, stomach pain after eating, and alternating diarrhea and constipation. All tests have been normal: gallbladder/pancreas ultrasound, HIDA scan, gastric emptying test, CT scan, H. pylori stool and breath tests, allergy panel, endoscopy with clear duodenal biopsies, stool testing for IBD/IBS markers, bloodwork, autoimmune testing, white blood cell count/cancer screening labs, and tryptase testing before and 1–2 hours after vomiting. What root causes would you look at next? MohMed: Good day dr.cabral. I find myself and my father in a difficult position. Not asking for medical advice. But if someone you knew had a mass on their liver.. with elevated enzymes 200+ AST and ALT. What kind of diet would you recommend. Ex. Broccoli sprouts for sulforphane. Can you give a sample meal plan (breakfast lunch dinner) Secondarily, what helps NK and T cells? Currently he’s on Omega 3 support, D3/K2.. and drinking matcha green tea organic. Asymptomatic.. thanks doc. Your the best! Looking to try Hope4Cancer. Saw your recommendation. I trust them solely because of your video/recap a few months back Chelsea: Hello Dr Cabral. I appreciate you and all your knowledge. I have some questions about passing out.. first time I passed out I was 8 from heat and elevation. Since then now I am 34 I have passed out about 9 or 10 times. They usually relate to heat/elevation or being sick. About 3 of the times I had passed out and had seizure like symptoms. I stop breathing and shake. I am unsure why this happens and was never able to figure out what it is or what’s causing it. I have Gilbert’s syndrome and hashimotos but has been in a calm state. I do have gut issues and wondering what could be the underlying cause of these episodes even though they don’t happen all that often. Thank you so much! Donna: Hi Dr Cabral. I have normal morning bowel movements for 3 or 4 days then have an irregular morning. Those mornings, I’m in and out of the bathroom every 15 or so minutes for 2-3 hours. My stool starts off normal and by the end is a mushy consistency. I get bloated during but that’s the only symptom. My gastro dr says it constipation. I take a probiotic, eat plenty of fruits and veggies, get my fiber in, drink 70-80oz of water and walk daily. This has been going on for months now and nothing seems to be helping. Thanks in advance!

3814: Eat Fiber to Beat Cancer? (New Research) (TT) 07/16/2026

3814: Eat Fiber to Beat Cancer? (New Research) (TT) Many people think of fiber as something that simply supports digestion, but emerging research suggests it may play a much bigger role in protecting long-term health. On today's show, I dive into the science behind dietary fiber and explore how it may help support immune function, reduce inflammation, promote a healthier gut microbiome, and even improve outcomes in certain types of cancer. You'll learn why higher fiber intake has been associated with better survival outcomes in breast cancer research, how fiber supports a healthier gut environment and immune function, and why studies suggest adequate fiber intake may play a role in reducing cancer risk and supporting overall health. I'll also share practical recommendations for increasing your fiber intake safely, what to do if fiber causes digestive discomfort, and simple strategies to help you reach optimal daily fiber goals. Tune into today's Cabral Concept 3814 to discover why fiber may be one of the most overlooked nutrients for supporting longevity, metabolic health, and overall wellness.
