3642: Head & Hand Shaking, High Heart Rate, Supplement Order, Coronary Artery Disease, Formulating Daily Nutritional Support (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… Tricia: Hi Dr Cabral - I'm writing in for my brother. He is a 73-year-old male who has been healthy his entire life. No major illnesses. I noticed a few years ago his head would slightly bob along with his hands. So slight that he doesn't notice. I think he could have a vitamin deficiency. Unfortunately, I can't get him to do any of your labs or detox, but I do have him on your DNS, veggie blend, renewal system, fish oil, eye, magnesium, and Vit d. Do you have any ideas what this might be? If I could get him to test, which test would you recommend? My grandmother did shake Alicja: Hello Dr.Cabral, I hope you're having a great day. My question is about heart rate. I wear smart ring that detects high heart rate during periods of time when I seat a lot and the only activity would be: getting up occasionally from my desk to walk to kitchen or bathroom. I do 10k steps per day, every day and I exercise every other day for 30-50 min alternating between: hot yoga, pilates, jogging and resistance training. Most of my walking and exercising is done in the first half of the day. During walking or exercising my heart rate is pretty steady, not very high, usually below 120 (except for running) but often the highest heart rate of my day I get in the second half of the day when I don't do any physical activity. It doesn't make sense to me. Why would my heart rate jump to 135 when I don't exercise or do any big activity? I'm 42 and I have low blood pressure. (if that matters) Tricia: Hi Dr. Cabral - Do you mind telling me if I'm taking all of your supplements below correctly? Honestly, I would love to work with an IHP but affording all the supplements is all I can do right now. I've been doing this since June of 2025. Upon waking - 2 proteolytic enzymes, 30 minutes later 3 of the sinus and immune support (only during cold season) and daily probiotic. Roughly 2 Hours later right before my morning DNS smoothie (am Metavolve, 2 eye vitamins, 2 cell boost, collagen & D3K2 drops in smoothie). With Lunch 2 hair vitamins and 3 inflamma soothe. Dinner (2 pm Metavolve, 2 fish oil) An hour before bed 2 Full Spectrum Magnesium. I started this protocol to help with lowering inflammation, joint stiffness and pain and it has been a game changer. I exercise daily and eat your Med diet recommendation and literally you gave me my life back so I thank you so very much. My health journey is still a work in progress, but I will get there! I just started Metavolve two months ago. I really like it. I haven't been able to give up all my berries and sweet potatoes but I'm going to try again Jan 1! P.S. I love your new book! Scott: Hello Stephen, happy holidays!! I'm writing in about my mother. She's 69 years old with coronary artery disease. 2 years ago she had 2 separate procedures to remove considerable blockage. Then, this past September, she had it done again. All together 4 stints, 2 in her widow maker. She hasn't drank alcohol in 10 yrs and quit smoking for over 2 years, although her previous lifestyle was lacking in many areas which I'm sure built up to her CAD. There's heart issues within the extended family, but, I know its not just genetics. She has done EXCELLENT zeroing in on her diet after this last round of surgery and she has felt the inflammation in her body pretty much disappear. She still, once in awhile, gets winded, which I can understand her being weary to go too long on the upright bike. She has researched online and food seems really restricted like salt intake, sugar and even really healthy things like Xtra virgin olive oil, which says only 2 tablespoons a day....that seems odd. She's on a certain type blood thinner but her heart doctor gave the okay for omega 3's and was really happy when she read the ingredients on the DNS bottle. I have her on EquiLife supplements since the first surgery; Omega 3's, Vitamin C., Vitamin D3, DNS, B-Complex, Cal-Mag, Balanced Zinc, the new Pea Protein, and collagen from another company (but it's clean) As an IHP level 1 and starting level 2, I'm trying to help her the very best I can. I suggested lime w/ a pinch of sea salt for an electrolyte morning drink but she's too cautious of the salt intake. I'd love for her to try a 21 day detox, she doesn't think she can do all the fasting days except maybe the first 2 days. Even the 14 day detox would be good too, but, would these be too hard on her with her condition, especially when CAD patients are restricted from eating even the healthiest of foods like olive oil? The literature says CAD patients do not have a long time once they have that condition, but, I'm trying to my best to extend her years, she is our family's rock. Thanks for all you do Stephen, you are a mentor sir!!! Sienna: Hi Dr. Cabral - it would be incredible to hear YOUR WHY behind formulating Daily Nutritional Support and the Dr. Cabral Detox, and how this came about? From listening to your podcasts these are strong foundations behind your brand and recommendations. Also, what would you list as the "12-supplements in one"? Thanks for all you do.

3641: PANDAS & Triggers, DHEA & Post-Menopause, LDN & Autoimmune Rash, Ingredients in Supplements, Prevent Osteoporosis (HouseCall) 01/24/2026

3641: PANDAS & Triggers, DHEA & Post-Menopause, LDN & Autoimmune Rash, Ingredients in Supplements, Prevent Osteoporosis (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: Savanna: Hi Dr Cabral. My daughter was diagnosed with PANDAS through blood work after i noticed âlot of behavioral regression. She has also been recently diagnosed with level one, high functioning autism. I feel like a detective trying to figure out whats causing these flares. Some months she has seemingly zero symptoms. Then something sets it off (of course the sickness is one culprit causing the PANDAS) but over laps into autistic behaviors. I guess Im trying to ask for help in this mystery of triggers. Also suggestions of where to start to boost her immune system to prevent the sickness in the first place. I feel so discouraged as a parent not knowing how to help my child and watching her suffer. Just as I think I find a good supplement, it stops working. Such as valerian. We were using it as one calming aid and it worked for months and now all the sudden doesnt seem to be doing anything. This has happened with supplements in the past. I did your heavy metal detox and parasite cleanse with her a few years ago. Thnx Yvonne: As a post-menopausal woman, according to my gynecologist, I am not eligible for bioidentical hormones. Is it ok to take DHEA after a certain age due to ongoing menopause symptoms of facial aging, insomnia, vaginal dryness etc and, if so, what dosage? Emily: Hi Dr Cabral, I am currently working through an autoimmune face rash. I am working with a local integrative functional doctor who is recommending low dose naltrexone, and many other items. What are your thoughts on LDN? Harmful, helpful? How long should one stay on it? Laura: Hi, I’m interested in what ingredients are ok in supplements and food.. for example, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose in baking or in supplements, different gums, which additives are ok? Thank you Sheena: HI Dr.C! Hope you and your team are well. I'm a 45 year old in perimenopause and would like to prevent osteoporosis. Could you give me some advice on what's the best way to do this? I take foundational level 3 plus added vitamin D, magnesium, zinc and vitamin b. complex. I'm not not taking any calcium supplements except from my multi. Is this a prob? Do I need a special protocol for perimenopause support and osteo? Any advice and recommendations will be appreciated! thank you!

3639: Is the New Food Pyramid Another Scam? (TT) 01/22/2026

3639: Is the New Food Pyramid Another Scam? (TT) Have you seen the newly released 2026 USDA Dietary Guidelines and wondered if this is an improvement over the previous food pyramid? On today’s episode, I break down what the updated food pyramid gets right, where it falls short, and why even well-intentioned guidelines can still be misleading if taken at face value. We’ll explore how the new recommendations improve upon past versions by emphasizing whole, minimally processed foods and more realistic protein needs, while also highlighting ongoing issues with confusing visuals, contradictory messaging around fats and dairy, and an underemphasis on fruits, vegetables, and fiber. I’ll also explain why no government guideline can replace personalized nutrition, and how using individual data, lifestyle context, and metabolic health markers is essential for creating sustainable results. So join me for today’s Cabral Concept 3639 to learn how to interpret the 2026 food pyramid wisely and apply it in a way that truly supports your health.

3638: Why Winter Weight Loss Is Harder (WW) 01/21/2026

3637: How Statins Destroy Your Brain and Body (TWT) 01/20/2026

3637: How Statins Destroy Your Brain and Body (TWT) Millions of people around the world are prescribed statins with the promise of protecting their heart, but what if there’s more to the story than most people are ever told? On today’s episode, I take an evidence-based look at how statins work in the body and why their effects may extend far beyond simply lowering cholesterol. We break down eight clinically supported side effects linked to statin use and I also explain why cholesterol alone is not a reliable predictor of heart disease and how excessively low cholesterol levels may pose their own risks. You’ll learn how statins can impact brain health, exercise adaptation, and overall longevity, as well as what key health markers deserve far more attention when evaluating cardiovascular risk. So join me for today’s Cabral Concept 3637 to learn how statins destroy the body and brain and go over the research-backed pros and cons of one of the most widely prescribed drugs in the world.

3635: Animal vs Plant Protein, Mold Testing for WA State, Clean Protein Brands, Aging & Supplementation, Traditional Chinese Medicine Extracts (HouseCall) 01/18/2026

3635: Animal vs Plant Protein, Mold Testing for WA State, Clean Protein Brands, Aging & Supplementation, Traditional Chinese Medicine Extracts (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… 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) 01/17/2026

3634: Using Colostrum, Gut Issues & LPR Symptoms, Cerebral Malaria & Tremors, Pea Protein & Kids, Improve Gut Motility (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'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. Itâ€™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 ðŸ™ (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 recommendedâ€¦ 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?

3623: Fatigue, Inflammation & Migraines Explained (Unsolved Health Mystery Case #8) (TWT) What if a simple lab test could uncover why migraines, fatigue, and inflammation keep returning, even for someone who eats clean and exercises regularly? On today’s Unsolved Health Mystery Case, I sit down with Kristen to review her lab results and uncover what’s really going on beneath the surface. Despite a nutrient-rich diet and healthy habits, Kristen was experiencing recurring migraines and low-level inflammation.

3621: Protein & Digestion, Low HRV, Too Much B-Vitamin, Hope4Cancer, Sick During Pregnancy (HouseCall) 01/04/2026

3621: Protein & Digestion, Low HRV, Too Much B-Vitamin, Hope4Cancer, Sick During Pregnancy (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… James: Hi Dr. Cabral, I’ve noticed that when I increase my protein intake, my digestion and sleep actually get worse. Is this more likely a gut issue, a liver/bile issue, or something related to cortisol? How would you approach troubleshooting this? Mark: I’ve been doing all the “right things” sleep, nutrition, movement but my HRV remains low. How much weight should we give metrics like HRV versus how someone actually feels day to day? Nancy: Hi Dr. Cabral, love your podcast and thank you so much for taking our questions! Is it possible to take too many b-vitamins? I have been very stressed and anxious lately and my local health food store recommended a stress b-complex. I noticed that every b-vitamin was 100mg across the whole label. Is this too much? Thomas: I was watching your video on YouTube on your Hope4Cancer review when you went down there to check it out and then the video stopped playing half way through. Am I able to watch the rest of it? I have a family member with cancer and she was wondering about that place. Farah: I am 7 months pregnant and worried about getting sick my last trimester. Is there anything I can do to prevent from getting sick. Any supplements, foods, or detox protocols that are safe to use while pregnant?

3620: Leucovorin & Autism, Bovine Collagen, Mitochondrial Testing, Cold Plunge & Stress, Histamine Intolerance & Allergies (HouseCall) 01/03/2026

3620: Leucovorin & Autism, Bovine Collagen, Mitochondrial Testing, Cold Plunge & Stress, Histamine Intolerance & Allergies (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: Arianne: Hi Dr. Cabral, First, I want to say thank you for all of your resources! I start every day with your podcast - it is truly the best out there! My question is regarding the medication, Leucovorin, and its use in treating Autism. I have a 3 year old son who is non-verbal and is moderately Autistic. His pediatrician has prescribed Leucovorin on a titration schedule where he will be monitored for its effects. To note my own lab results, I have MTHFR, high levels of mercury and aluminum, low electrolytes/minerals, anemia/low ferritin, and gut issues - likely these were passed along to my son. I plan to have him complete the labs now that he is old enough. What is your advice on Leucovorin and its safety & efficacy, also should I be concerned with potential fillers and aluminum in the drug? Sheena: Hi Dr C! Hope you and your team are well. I was just wondering if all bovine collagen has protein in it, even if it doesn't say it on the label? And if so, does the protein count towards my daily protein intake? Thank you so much in advance for answering! Jonny: Hello Dr. Cabral, Recently done some mitochondrial testing and found that my complex 2+3 are operating at 16% activity, and complex 2 at 58%, so there unable to turn substrate into energy efficiently. I’m wondering if you have any advice. Currently dealing with CIRS, Sibo/dysbiosis/chronic stress/Trauma. Non starchy carbs make me jittery, as well as stressors in general, but it’s not blood sugar, as I’ve worn monitors and my levels seem fairly ideal. I think it’s the CIRS jitters, shakiness that I’ve heard you speak of. I just got your new book, so I’m going to read through that for any tips. Already taking adrenal soothe, working with a therapist, doing my best to lower the stressors in my life. I know 90-120 days for red blood cell/mitochondrial turnover, so things can take time. Thanks Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral, I've heard conflicting advice on cold plunging for people with high stress or adrenal dysregulation. How to you determine if cold exposure if supportive or not. Thanks! Sarah: I'm curious about histamine intolerance and allergies. why do some people suddenly develop reactions to something that haven't had all their lives. I used to not be allergic to horses for instance, I could ride them when I was younger, but now I can't even be in the same room with someone who has been around them. Thanks for your help.

3614: Lignite Extract Supplements, Fruit After Dinner, Length of Sauna Time, Estrogen Balance & PMS, Detox Reactions (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… Hayley: Hi Dr. Cabral- What is your opinion on stabilized lignite extract supplements? It is purported to tighten up a leaky gut, but I’m not clear on if this product is a necessary addition to my diet. Thanks for all the work you do– your podcast is awesome! James: Hi Dr. C what are your thoughts on eating fruit after dinner Nick: I’ve seen a lot of talk lately about doing sauna for too long being bad for you? Is this true and how do you know when too long is too long? Does temperature matter, or only time in the sauna? Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral, thanks for doing these HouseCalls - they are so helpful and I enjoy learning from them weekly as an IHP2! My questions is this: I had a client using Estrogen balance to help with her PMS symptoms and it really helped her a lot. I’m wondering when I know is the right time to begin lowering her dosage or stopping the supplement. Marcy: Thank you Dr. Cabral for taking my question! Why do you think it is that most of my clients seem to feel each FM Detox gets easier every time they do one. And why is it though that sometimes for seeming random reasons they’ll have a challenging quarterly Detox where it feels like maybe the first time again? I’m just confused when this happens and I want to better know how to support my clients when this occurs.
