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…   Sussanna: Hi Dr. Cabral, I'm very interested in getting your take on this question! I'm a menopausal woman in my early 50's suffering from lack of sleep, hot flashes and mood disruptions. Is taking bio-est 80/20 plus progesterone cream (prescribed by one of the online practitioners) - safe for women with a uterus, or is switching to an estrogen only cream or patch with a progesterone pill the safest option? I've been watching many videos and trying to research as much as I can, yet the debate on which is 'correct' is quite overwhelming. My concern is my background includes my mother who passed away from an aggressive form of uterine cancer. The online practitioner assured me that studies show this combo of compounded estrogen and progesterone can decrease uterine cancer. Thoughts?! Thank you!       Kathleen: Hi

Are you worried about your cholesterol levels on your labs continuing to climb?     While conventional medicine bloodwork typically focuses on total cholesterol, LDL, and HDL, these markers don't always provide a complete picture of cardiovascular risk.     The good news is there's a more accurate marker called ApoB that can offer deeper insight.

Have you ever been told you don't have PCOS simply because you don't have ovarian cysts, even though you're experiencing many of the classic symptoms?     On today's show, I share important news that could impact millions of women.     After decades of viewing PCOS primarily through ovarian cysts, the medical community is beginning to recognize that it's often a far more complex condition involving hormonal, metabolic, and reproductive imbalances that go well beyond the ovaries.     I break down the shift from PCOS to PMOS (Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome), why this update matters, and how it may finally provide more women with the clarity and validation they've long been seeking.     I also discuss the underlying root causes behind these symptoms and why focusing on resolution at the root level, rather than simply managing symptoms, is key to achieving lasting results.     Join me on today's Cabral Concept 3784 to learn what this new understanding means for women's health and why addressing

Have you ever noticed that some people seem to effortlessly attract opportunities, meaningful relationships, and success, while others feel stuck repeating the same patterns over and over again?     On today's show, I want to explore the fascinating concept of Reality Transurfing, a framework that combines psychology, awareness, energy, and manifestation to explain how our beliefs, emotions, and attention may influence the experiences we create in life.     I'll share how practices like gratitude, visualization, and aligning your thoughts with your desired outcomes can help shift your mindset and actions and why focusing on lack, fear, and negativity may keep you stuck and what you can do instead to move closer to your goals.       If you're looking to better understand the connection between mindset and reality, and how to create the future you truly want, join me on today's Cabral Concept 3783, where we'll dive into Reality Transurfing and how it may help you achieve your biggest goals. - - - For Everyt

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…   Matt: Hi Dr Cabral, I'm constantly trying to improve my sleep but can rarely ever get more than 6 to 6 1/2 hours consistently. If I go to bed earlier, I wake up earlier ready to go. Right now I'm taking 2g of taurine, balanced zinc, 500mg magnesium, 100mg theanine, 50mg Apagenin and 3g of glycine. I have no problem falling asleep but consistently wake up around 3-4am. I recently added some Inositol to help get back to sleep but I can't really remember the last time I went to sleep and woke up the next morning by my alarm clock. Just to note, I'm 45 with 3 kids that also like to pop in our room in the middle of the night. Any tips to help get that 7-8 hours I need?       Tricia: Hello Dr C! I'm 57 and I tested my estrogen and progesterone. I'm of course estrogen dominant. I started taking your progesterone support a

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:    Lisa: Hello Dr. Cabral, my 4 year old has Molluscum Contagiosum, I found an old podcast from 2017, episode 681, and wanted to know if you have any new updated information. They are mostly on her right side of her extremities. She had one for a while that would not heal for months. It was constantly red, inflammed and bleeding. I applied the recommended ACV and by the next day it was so much better. After about a week, its was gone. She still has the little "white head" pimples on her arm and leg. The protocol that was recommended then was for an 11 yr old and wanted to know if you suggest anything for her or have any new updated information. She does take a daily multi and a immune support that has echinacea and elderberry. Thank you for all your help in trying to keep the community healthy.

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:    Kay: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thanks for your very informative and interesting podcasts. How would you advise a post-menopausal 60 y.o family member if they tested low in ferritin (39.4 ng/mL)? I've read that this biomarker shows how much energy your body's cells have and low levels would result in symptoms like fatigue, low energy/easily tired and excessive hair shedding. This family member suffers from these symptoms. Other biomarkers revealed low AM cortisol and low LDL-C/ApoB ratio (1.1) and low basal metabolic rate of 1143 kcals/day. Although her TSH tested normal (1.3 uIU/mL), she's been on levothyroxine 75 mcg to manage hypothyroid. Her high-sensitivity CRP was not optimal at 1.49 mg/L and she has a family history of heart disease. What would you recommend for this family member? Thanks      Ea

Heart disease often develops silently for decades before symptoms ever appear, which is why early detection can be one of the most powerful tools for protecting long-term health and longevity.     On today's show, I break down the Coronary Artery Calcium (CAC) Score, also known as the Agatston Score, and why it may be one of the most important cardiovascular screening tools for adults over 40.     We'll explore what this scan measures, how the scoring system works, and what different score ranges may reveal about your future heart disease risk.     I'll also explain the limitations of the test, why plaque buildup can begin long before symptoms arise, and how lifestyle, inflammation, blood sugar balance, and other health markers all play a role in cardiovascular health.     Most importantly, you'll learn why prevention and early awareness matter so much, and how foundational health habits may help support long-term heart health and healthy aging.     So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3772 as we take
