3698: Retained Reflexes, Weight Loss & Thyroid, Purchasing Pre-Owned Items, Cherry Angiomas, Bloating & Environmental Factors (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… Audrey: Hi Dr. Cabral, What are your thoughts on retained reflexes? My almost 3 yr old girl has extreme outbursts every day that involves lots of screaming and yelling. I was told retained reflexes could be the problem. She is extremely smart and started talking at a very young age. I know she is too young for any heavy metal detoxes or parasite cleanses so I'm not sure how to help her. I also have a 4 yr old and a NB so having some peace in the home would be nice. Thanks Cathy: Dear Dr Cabral, I’m so thankful for you! In the past 1.5yrs I’ve lost 30lbs and still losing more. Approx 160lb. 5’5” 64yo female. paleo diet. No gluten, dairy, grains or refined sugar. Very few deviations. I walk/hike 4-5x wk. Recently added strength. Hashimotos- currently NP Thyroid med 30mg.Taking med for 3 mo. Chol. is higher than ever 320.

God bless you! Anonymous: Hi Dr. C — Big thanks to you and your amazing team for all you do. Question about purchasing pre-owned items: Are there any health concerns about buying used clothing items or bedding (sheets)? I always wash them before using them. Some people are grossed out about “used bedding,” but it seems to be the same as going to a hotel: those aren’t new sheets on hotel beds. Thanks. Sarah: Hello doc! I saw somebody say that red dots (cherry angiomas) on the body can be due to poor bile flow. Curious on your take on this? Cheers! Basak: I had a quick question I wanted to ask. I divide my time between the Netherlands and Miami, and I maintain the same healthy habits in both locations—clean eating, daily exercise, minimal alcohol, and consistent sleep. I generally feel well and have no other complaints. However, I have noticed that whenever I return to Miami, I consistently experience lower abdominal bloating. I was wondering whether it is possible that environmental factors—such as differences in air quality, water, or other environmental exposures in the U.S.—could be contributing to this reaction. I would appreciate your perspective 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?

3697: Oral Health & 360 Toothbrush, Nattokinase Units, Berberine vs. Gluco Support, JAK2 & Root Cause, Primary Addison’s Disease (HouseCall) 03/21/2026

3697: Oral Health & 360 Toothbrush, Nattokinase Units, Berberine vs. Gluco Support, JAK2 & Root Cause, Primary Addison’s Disease (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: Christina: Dr. Cabral, thank you so much for all you do for our community. My question is about oral health and specifically the use of the 360 one-piece toothbrushes that take 30 seconds to clean the teeth (I.e. Autobrush). Do you think they are as effective as the sonic electric toothbrushes and what is your opinion on them? Additionally, one can choose the fluoride free toothpaste versions, but they require a foaming agent to work. I like the fact that these toothbrushes require less time overall and seem to clean all the teeth, but am a little concerned about the foaming toothpaste that are required for them to wok. Thank you! Barbara: What is the 12,000 FU that you referred to in your post. Tricia: Hi Dr. Cabral - I'm trying to figure out if I should take your berberine or daily gluco support. Can you please explain the difference, and which one might be better for a 56-year-old female that does struggle to keep weight off and balance blood sugar. I'm not diabetic but I watch it closely. Thank you! Alex: Hi Dr. Cabral, I am a 37-year-old female diagnosed with JAK2-positive essential thrombocythemia five years ago. My diagnosis followed after an initial finding of iron deficiency. It was confirmed through a bone biopsy. I have recently started following your show and am focused on finding the root cause. I would like to avoid progressing to chemotherapy medications if at all possible. To manage inflammation and support detoxification, I maintain an anti-inflammatory diet, exercise at least five days a week, use a sauna, and take various supplements. My biggest symptom with this disease is fatigue. Could you point me in the right direction of finding the root cause and help lowering my platelet count? Thank you! Alex Samantha: Hi Dr Cabral, I went into an adrenal crisis in 2023 and was diagnosed with Primary Addison disease and hashimotos. I also have undifferentiated connective tissue disease. I take steroids and thyroid mediation, and also work with an N.D. for recurring EBV, h pylori, and candida. I have reduced the hashimotos antibodies drastically and have hope to eventually go into remission, but my question is, is it possible to heal or go into remission with Primary Addison disease and not be dependent on steroids? Or is it true that with primary Addison disease, the adrenals are “toast?” Though I have reduced the hashimotos antibodies, the 21-hydroxlase Addison antibody is still present. Would love any tips or suggestions. Thank you!!

3694: New Candida Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Case Study) (TWT) 03/18/2026

3694: New Candida Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Case Study) (TWT) Many times, the underlying cause to your health concerns isn’t obvious and requires looking deeper at what’s happening inside the body at the metabolic level. On today’s episode, I break down the New Candida Metabolic & Vitamins Test, one of the most advanced organic acids tests available, measuring more than 75 biomarkers to help uncover hidden imbalances. While many people struggle with symptoms like bloating, brain fog, skin issues, fatigue, or low mood, the root cause often lies in areas like gut dysbiosis, yeast overgrowth, nutrient deficiencies, or impaired detoxification pathways. Functional medicine testing allows us to see these deeper imbalances so we can address them with targeted protocols rather than guesswork. So join me on today’s Cabral Concept 3694 where I walk you through how this simple at-home test works, what the key markers reveal about your health, and how identifying issues like yeast overgrowth or vitamin deficiencies can help guide a personalized plan for healing.

3691: ADHD Medication & Impulsivity, Mitochondrial Health, Long-Term Toxin Exposure, Heavy Metal Detox & Itching, Nighttime Urination (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: My sibling was diagnosed with ADHD at a very young age and has been taking ADHD medication for at least 5 years. In the IHP level one course we were learning about neurotransmitters and you were speaking about how having to much adrenaline and dopamine can cause behavioral issue among many other issues. My sibling has had behavioral issues such as compulsive lying, very impulsive, and it seems that she does not think though any of her actions as if her actions have no consequences. Its beyond the normal rebellious teen. I was curious if this could possibly be due to the adhd medication that she has been taking? If so, can you please explain? What labs should we run? How would someone wean off adhd meds? Any other recommendations? Thank you! Andy: I’d love to get your professional opinion on Mitopure (urolithin A). What does the current research say about its effectiveness for mitochondrial health and longevity, and do you see real-world benefits in your patients or practice? Sarah: Hello! My husband and I own and operate a diesel truck repair shop and have been in business for 11 years. During that time, I’ve had regular exposure to diesel exhaust, fumes, solvents, and shop air. Over the past few years, I’ve experienced some ongoing health concerns (inflammation, fatigue, gut issues) and am wondering whether long-term exposure could be contributing. I’m interested in a functional medicine approach to evaluate possible toxic burden or inflammation and to understand what testing, lifestyle changes, or supplements might help support lung health, detox pathways, and overall wellness. I’m looking for a proactive, preventative approach while continuing to run our business. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you! Anonymous: I started listening to your podcasts a few years ago, and I’ve learned how to improve my health and quality of life in many ways—so thank you for sharing your knowledge! Question: My heavy metals test showed high levels of mercury and aluminum. Recently started processes to remove them: functional medicine detox (5 days) > intestinal cleanse (2 days) > heavy metal detox (30+ days, still going), and another intestinal cleanse (2 days on 30th day). Feeling mentally and physically better - like my “old self” again. When I started the HM detox, my bowel movements started having a strong smell and causing my anus to itch. Is that due to an elimination of heavy metals or due to ingredients in the detox or cleanse? Thanks. Pete: Hi Stephen, Thanks for the great work you do. I wake up every night once (sometimes twice) to urinate and would love your thoughts on how to sleep through the night. Some background: I’m a 40-year-old male, generally healthy, eat clean, and don’t drink alcohol. I stop eating about three hours before bed and limit fluids in the evening. No caffeine after noon. During the day I also urinate frequently, which I can manage. At night the volume is small, but the urgency signal is strong. I’ve been checked by a doctor (including prostate), everything looks normal, and I’ve tried a few medications with limited effect. I’d really appreciate your thoughts on any protocols or angles that might be worth exploring.

3690: High Cholesterol, Itchy Sinus Support, Children’s Wellness Book, Proteolytic Enzymes & Headaches, Tests for Pancreatic & Liver Health (HouseCall) 03/14/2026

3690: High Cholesterol, Itchy Sinus Support, Children’s Wellness Book, Proteolytic Enzymes & Headaches, Tests for Pancreatic & Liver Health (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: Mohamed: Good day Dr.Cabral. Thoughts on high cholesterol support. I know you covered this topic a lot but anything new that comes to mind? And what kind or protocol would you run over 2-3 months? I know omega3s are great. A good multi. But any others (food also).. in addition to diet improvement. Thanks! Tom: Thoughts on sinus support.. itchiness both sides (left side a bit more). Would citridical drops help and how would I apply it on the nostrils, currently on Amlodipine and grapefruit is contraindicated. So is there another thing I could try. Thanks for all that you do. Svetlana: Hello, Dr. Cabral. Have you thought about writing a children’s wellness book based on your teachings and the distress protocol? Mostly on the middle school level, since high school kids could comprehend the rain barrel effect. It would be great to have it for a homeschool science class and just in general for all the kids to start learning about how to take care of their body. I’m looking for a science/wellness/whole body and mind book that would be engaging for an 11 year old, but not full or standard allopathic recommendations. Do you know of one you could recommend? A lot of the children’s books on the market aren’t exactly what you have to offer. Thank you for all that you do. Jill: Thanks Dr. Cabral for your accessibility in answering questions! Looking for your feedback on Proteolytic Enzymes. I began taking recently at the recommended dose and began having severe headaches that stretched into my lower neck and left shoulder. I thought it might be an allergic reaction or side effect. I stopped for a week and then began again with just 1 capsule a day and seem to tolerate that just fine. Have you seen reactions like this and do you think its ok for me to continue and/or even ramp up at some point and take the full dose? Lori: Hello Dr. Cabral ~ I listen to your podcast every day, and appreciate you sharing your knowledge and feedback! I am a 59-year-old post-menopausal female, a 27-year Stage 4 Metastatic Melanoma survivor (my recurrence of melanoma occurred when I was pregnant at the age of 31). My mother passed at the age of 36 from pancreatic cancer; my dad passed at the age of 51 from lung cancer. I vist my dermatologist twice per year for skin checks, I avoid the sun, wear sunscreen every day. I am a non-smoker, I exercise daily and I am in good health. Can you tell me if there are tests I should have performed regularly that will indicate the health of my pancreas and lungs? Is that something I should be concerned with? Are there other tests and/or indicators I should be aware of?

3686: The Cancer Gene and How to Regulate It (TWT) Did you know your body has a built-in defense system designed to stop cancer before it ever begins? It’s called P53, often referred to as the “guardian of the genome.” This powerful tumor-suppressor gene detects damaged DNA, pauses cell division, and either repairs or eliminates cells before they can mutate into cancer. But here’s the challenge… Modern lifestyle habits may be suppressing this protective mechanism. The good news? Supporting your “guardian gene” doesn’t require extreme measures, it simply requires realigning with how humans were designed to live. On today’s show, I break down what P53 is, why it’s essential for cancer prevention, and how everyday factors influence its function along with simple, practical steps you can take to better support your body’s natural cellular protection. So join me on today’s Cabral Concept 3686 to learn more about this cancer gene and how to strengthen your body’s natural defense system starting today.

3684: Virus & Hives, Optimal Water PH, Dental Recommendations, Eye Health, Ivermectin & Cancer (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… Sarah: Hi Dr. Cabral. Thank you for all you do! Every time I get a cold or virus I break out in full body hives and it takes my body weeks to reset. I’ve tried your 21DD but seem to be really sensitive to herbal supplements. (Lots of reactions) Please help! Mohamed: Hey Dr.Cabral, 2 part question. Firstly, how are you? Where are you in terms of your overall well-being. I know you get a lot of baggage trying to help others! Just wanted to let you know You helped me a lot. Thought I’d ask, how is your well-being. My secondary question is about water pH, I have an under sink AquaTru without the alkaline remineralization. I sometimes add mineral drops.. wondering about optimal pH range for water. No Kangen yet haha it’s expensive for a college student! Jenny: Hi Dr. Cabral - I know you have given recommendations in the past for the community to look into biological dentists, especially when it comes to removing past fillings, alternatives to root canals, etc. What about for regular 6 month check ups and cleanings? If we continue to go to a "regular" dentist for those visits, what is your recommendation about the dental x-rays they require? Thank you! Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral - I have a question about eye health. My father had Glaucoma which eventually led to full blindness. His eye doctor prescribed multiple eye drops to help maintain the eye pressure to help delay the progression, but he was on those for probably 20-30 years (Lumigan, Alphagan, Cosopt). My eye doctor is watching the pressure in my eyes and would like me to begin drops, as the pressure is higher than the "normal" range. I don't want to use drops, but also want to maintain eye health. I follow your protocols, including 2 Omega 3 soft gels and the Daily Vision and Eye Health. Do you have any other recommendations? Is Inflamma Soothe something I should take on an ongoing basis, as well? Thank you for all that you do. Dyan: Hello! Thank you so much for all you do! My boyfriend was diagnosed at 26 with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia, with him being so young there are great chances he will go into remission in five years or so and stop his medication. Doctors say CML is a genetic mutation but I know most cancers are from environmental factors. He’s taking 50mg of a TKI inhibitor pill daily (considered chemo). I don’t feel confident enough in my knowledge to have him stop his chemo pill just yet, but I know we would both love for him to stop it. What is your thought on Ivermectin for cancers patients? I have read it would respond great with his medication. He is super open to anything I’ve suggested whether it’s diet changes or supplements. What supplements or action should we be sure to take?

3683: Perimenopause & Birth Control, Organic & Pesticides, Low Alkaline Phosphatase, Thyroid Symptoms During Winter, Supplements & Male Fertility (HouseCall) 03/07/2026

3683: Perimenopause & Birth Control, Organic & Pesticides, Low Alkaline Phosphatase, Thyroid Symptoms During Winter, Supplements & Male Fertility (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: Sheena: Hi Dr C! Hope you and your team are well. I'm 45 yo and currently on low dose birth control pill to help control the severe perimenopause symptoms I was experiencing. It has REALLY helped which I am thankful for. Obviously I know I cant be on it forever, but the thought of going off and going through all the symptoms is so scary to me. I also know being on the BCP will mask when I'm actually in menopause. Do you have a suggestion as to how I can find out? Is it possible to figure out while on the pill? As instructed by my endocrinologist, I take the pill for 42 day straight, stop for 4 and start again. Could I test my fsh during that 4 Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral - I’m hoping you can help me. I keep hearing people say organic doesn’t really matter because they’re still able to spray the produce with some level of herbicides. Can you help me understand what they could be talking about and confirm that organic is definitely better/ worth the cost? Thanks for all you do! Sierra: Hello Dr. Cabral. My father and four of his kids have chronically low Alk Phos. We have tried supplementing (Zinc, mag, Vit C, DNS, Omegas, etc) for years without any improvement. We are leaning into thinking its a genetic issue (hypophosphotasia). My father has had significant blood calcification, bow legged, bad teeth. Do you have any knowledge on genetically low alk phos, and how to increase our levels or adjust nutrients to help offset issues from low levels of alkphos? We do live fairly healthy, active lives. We do qtrly detoxes, we work to empty our "rain barrel", but is there any other advice you can give us? We would love to figure out how to navigate this. Thank you! day break and be able to tell? Hope this makes sense. Looking forward to your suggestion. Thanks! Adam: Hello, I've noticed during the winter months, I get more symptoms, especially thyroid related issues (dry skin, cold extremities). During the summer, these are substantially less pronounced. I've ran the Stress Mood and Metabolism test (during FEBruary), TSH 2.5, Free T3-3.8, Free T4-1.5, normal cortisol all day, low DHEAS, but are there any specific interventions I can do during the winter months to support my body? Warmer denser foods, different types of exercises, certain supplements etc? Thank you. Desiree: Hi Dr. Cabral, My husband and I are planning to start trying for a baby this June. We are prepping starting now with 3 week detox, followed by heavy metal and parasite detoxes. I will follow that with 3 months of prenatal vitamins. Are there any male specific supplements that improve sperm health and male fertility? Like prenatal supplements but for men. Thanks!

My question has to do with what and how much physical activity should you do while you are sick, along with what additional health modalities would you suggest. When you are sick or feeling like you’re getting sick, do you continue hitting your 10,000 steps per day? Weight lift? Cardio? HIIT? Continue working out but at a reduced intensity? Should you substitute some activity for red light? Sauna? Yoga? And how would this differ from a cold to a fever? Thanks again! Ann: Hi Dr. Cabral and as always thank you for being such a champion for us out here :) A friend swears that Milk Thistle helped her when she was battling liver cancer. I have NAFLD and am working to reduce it, and besides the ways you have outlined to help (episode 3017), I'm wondering if milk thistle could be a good addition? Thank you so much - have a blessed day:) Dawn Marie: Hi, Dr. Cabral. I had mono as a child, and again in 2023 when I was 48 years of age. In 2023, I was on day 17 of the detox when the mono re-emerged and I was quite sick, almost requiring hospitalization--liver enzymes quite high, thickening of gallbladder walls, and enlarged spleen. My doctor actually wrote me a referral to a surgeon to likely have my gall bladder removed! Thank goodness, after years of listening to your podcasts, I knew to do some research and discovered that after I recovered from the mono, all would return to normal and they did. My understanding is that Epstein-Barr "lives" in the liver and is difficult to fully heal from. I'd like to "kick it out" for good. Is there a way to fully heal from EBV? Is there any risk of it re-emerging if I try to do another 21-day detox? Dylaini: Hi Dr Cabral! Thanks for all you do, you’re a wealth of knowledge! I am working with a lot of tinnitus clients and some claim it’s from being in the military and being exposed to loud noises, do you think this is simply a “stress” on the body and isn’t necessarily a permeant issue from being exposed to loud noises? Thanks again! Josephine: Hi Dr Cabral, you’ve been an amazing ing help to me over the years, thank you. I’m a 44year old woman living in Australia. I have idiopathic guttate hypomelanosis (IGH) on my legs and arms. I get this much more so than brown pigment spots. I understand sun protection is the best way to prevent this, however I’m wondering if you have any tips for how to treat it (most sources say pigment won’t come back) and also what supplements or topical treatments (excluding sunscreen) might make the skin less susceptible.

3676: Strong Immune System, Addressing Digestive Concerns, Stopping Ozempic, Sunfiber or PHGG for Digestion, Red Light & Thyroid, Blood Spot Testing (HouseCall) 02/28/2026

3676: Strong Immune System, Addressing Digestive Concerns, Stopping Ozempic, Sunfiber or PHGG for Digestion, Red Light & Thyroid, Blood Spot Testing (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: Sheena: Hi Dr. C! Hope you and your team are well. I was wondering what it means to rarely get sick. I'm 45 years old and can count on one hand how many times I've been sick the last 25+ years. Do I just have a really strong immune system or is something wrong? Is this normal? Isn't it good to get sick once or twice a year to build immunity? I keep thinking that when I DO get sick in the future as a senior, it'll be really bad from all the years of 'build up' lol looking forward to hearing your response! Thx! Sarah: Hello, I have been struggling for several years with significant gastrointestinal symptoms, including alternating constipation and diarrhea, as well as painful bloating. I usually wake up with a flat stomach but by the end of the day I look 9 months pregnant. I was recently tested and found to be positive for both H. pylori and candida overgrowth. In your experience, which condition should be addressed first, and are there specific supplements or treatment protocols you typically recommend to begin care? Thank you so much! Angela: Good evening, I have just stopped taking Ozempic because I have been having nausea and upper stomach pain for 5 months now. Went to doctor and found out I’m plugged up so the gave me some stuff to clear me out. It has helped my sugar a lot back to normal range and also my liver count is back to normal. I have lost 30 lbs which was to much but don’t want all of it to come back. Just reaching out to see if there is something else I can do. Thanks Angela Dave: Dr. Cabral, can you please explain the use of sunfiber or PHGG and if it is suitable for sensitive/irritable colon? Does it really help with butyrate producing bacteria? I would also like to ask about red and infrared devices targeting thyroid gland when there is autoimmunity, normal function, high antibodies and slight structural gland damage. Would you recommend red/infrared light device directly applied on the thyroid as a part of the destress thyroid specific protocol? If so, how long, how often, intermitently? Thank you for your advice. Jenny: Hi Dr. Cabral - I have completed several lab tests and appreciate the coaching call that comes with them to review. When I've talked about this process with friends, some are skeptic regarding the blood spot card. How can I explain to them how the dried blood spots can be used to test some of the things traditional blood draws test with the same accuracy? Thank you!
