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…   Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral - I don't believe you've talked about this before, but what are your thoughts about toxins in the regular/store brands of toilet paper? Should we be concerned about that and if so, are there any brands that you personally recommend or buy for your family? Thank you!      Emily: Hello Dr Cabral, I love your podcast and listen to you weekly! I wanted to ask your thoughts on milling your own flour, to make your own bread. You do not have to convince me to not touch the commercial bread in the US, and right now I am just gluten free and do not eat wheat now. But some health sources I follow recommend milling your own wheat to be a healthier swap. What do you think? If so, do you have a wheat company and mill company to recommend? I think my hesitation is to spend all the money and find that it

Check out today's questions:    Celia: I suffer from severe anxiety specifically around driving, being a passenger in a car, crowded places, big stores etc. It all came on all of a sudden and has been around for the last 4 years or so. I also have PCOS and believe I am in perimenopause BUT going to the doctor is a trigger as well. It's even worse in the summer heat. My current hair analysis is on the way to the lab. I have taken 2 before but the practitioner said I needed around 25 different supplements. Money was rolling out the door with no change. What main vitamins do you suggest for someone with PCOS, perimenopause and extreme anxiety? I currently take fulvic, black seed oil, omega 3, vit d3/k2, inositol and magnesium glycinate. Thank you, Celia      Anonymous: I am a natural health practitioner and a very heavy drinker. Tal

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.

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

Many times, colorectal cancer risk and gut health issues aren't obvious and require a closer look at what's happening inside the body.     On today's episode, I break down colonoscopies, one of the most effective preventive tools for detecting and removing polyps before they can turn cancerous.     While many assume screenings are only necessary later in life, colon issues can start much earlier, and early detection can prevent serious complications.     We also compare colonoscopy to full-body MRI, review the prep, sedation, and potential side effects, and discuss how screening frequency should be tailored based on age, family history, and personal risk.       Join me on today's Cabral Concept 3695 as I explain how a colonoscopy works, what it can detect, and how to make an informed decision about whether it's right for you this year.     Enjoy the show! - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/3695 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join

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.   Enjo

Could your body be missing two key nutrients needed to help defend against cancer at the cellular level?     On today's show, I build on our previous discussion of the p53 gene, often called the "guardian of the genome," which acts as the body's internal surveillance system to detect DNA damage, repair mutations, and eliminate potentially cancerous cells.     While this powerful system works automatically, it can become suppressed by factors like poor sleep, artificial light at night, chronic stress, and more.      The good news is that there are two specific nutrients that play a critical role in supporting this protective process.     So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3693 to learn how these two nutrients help support your body's natural cancer surveillance system and what simple lifestyle habits can help optimize their function.     Enjoy the show! - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/2693 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join

Are you giving your mind and body enough time to reset during the day?     On today's episode, I share three simple yet underrated practices that can help calm the nervous system, improve resilience to stress, and support better sleep and overall health.     Many high performers spend their days constantly in fight-or-flight mode, which can drain energy, impact recovery, and make it harder to stay focused and balanced.      The good news is that it doesn't take much time to reset your system, just a few intentional moments built into your day.     So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3692 where I walk through the concept of daily "anchors," how even 10–15 minutes in the morning, mid-day, and evening can help bring your body back into balance, and how to choose activities that truly help you relax and recharge.     Enjoy the show!   - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/3692 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Ge

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

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 comprehen

Are you truly getting enough vitamin D, or just assuming you are?     On today's episode, I explain why vitamin D is far more than just a vitamin, it actually acts like a hormone in the body and plays a critical role in immune health, mood, metabolism, inflammation, and even longevity.     Many people assume they are getting enough from sunlight, but in reality, most individuals still fall below the optimal range.     So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3688 where I share how to identify the most common signs of low vitamin D without testing and what simple steps you can take to support healthy vitamin D levels year-round.     Enjoy the show!   - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/3688 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxici
