  3886: Urine Smell During Cycle, Pregnenolone & Joint Pain, Balancing Hormones, Eczema Around Eyes, Immune Support During Immunotherapy (HouseCall) 26.09.2026 16min

  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:    Dana:  I'm a 42 year old woman in perimenopause. During the middle part of my cycle, around when ovulation should be happening, I notice that my urine has a very strong smell compared to the rest of my cycle. This lasts about a week. I'm not dehydrated and I don't eat anything differently during this time than I do any other time of the month. This has been going on monthly for at least 6 months but probably closer to a year or more. Is there any cause for concern? What could be causing this? Is this something that can be expected with hormone fluctuations, and if so, why would it have started now but not been going on the rest of my life?      Anonymous: I'm in perimenopause and working with a functional medicine doctor who determined that all 3 of my sex hormones were low. She has put me on several supplements including Pregnenolone. After taking the supplements I noticed that I was experiencing joint pain while not having changed anything else diet or exercise wise. After some removing and adding back I determined that it is the pregnenolone that is causing the joint pain, she finds it very odd. What reasons would this be happening? I live in a country where I can't order your supplements, what would be the best things to take to help boost hormones if I can't take pregnenolone?       Anonymous: Hi Dr CaBral! I recently got my IUD out due to constant spotting and some news about family getting cancer from years of hormone replacement. After having one for many years on and off, I thought it best to let my body just get back to it's natural state. I did a 7day detox and started taking progesterone support for a month after. After 3 months my cycles have returned back to normal, but I've started losing my hair, have dry skin and just dragging all the time now. My chiropractor/naturopath muscle tested and ovaries were not optimal at all, thyroid was a 2 out of 10, my system is showing blocked and my body is having a hard time detoxing on it's own. Overall I'm very healthy and was not having issues until now. I don't have the money to test right now. What can I do to get back on track?       Mackenzie: About a year and a half ago, I started getting what seems to be eczema flare ups around my eyes, specifically my eyelids and outer corners of my eyes. When it flares up, my eyelids become red, swollen, itchy and watery. The skin becomes thick and very dry and flakey. Around the time it began, I did move into a new building, and my partner has noticed a spot on his neck similar to what I get around my eyes. It seems to flare up more when I eat too much sugar/gluten, but I also sometimes have flares when I don't eat those things. Recently it has only flared when I have a virus, ie a cold/flu or HSV outbreak. I'm an IHP1, and recently completed the Vita-Min Tox test and the only thing noted was slightly high aluminum levels which I am working on. What do you rec. I focus on next? Thank you!!       Anonymous: Hello Dr.Cabral, hope you are well. Regular viewer of your weekly ask cabral content. Not asking for medical advice but wanting to support my immune system during immunotherapy for my liver. They mention potential autoimmune side effects, I know your releasing a new resource or course regarding cancer. Hoping you touch on Immunotherapy on it. I read your research page.

  3883: Does Cutting Carbs Make You Tired & Weak? (WW) 23.09.2026 12min

  Could the timing of your carbohydrates be just as important as how many you eat?     If you're eating a lower-carb diet, you may be paying close attention to the amount of carbohydrates you consume while overlooking another important factor: when you're eating them.     On today's show, I'm breaking down some interesting research on carbohydrates and exercise, along with why the timing of your nutrition may be worth a closer look.     We'll take a look at why the hours following a workout may be an especially important time to consider carbohydrates, how your body replenishes its energy stores after exercise, and why avoiding carbohydrates altogether may not produce the results you're looking for.     So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3883 where I uncover if cutting carbs is making you tired and weak and share why carbohydrate timing may be an important piece of the nutrition puzzle.   - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/3883 - - - 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 toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

  3880: Thinning Hair, CBO Protocol & Sensitivity, Peripheral Artery Disease, High Cholesterol & Statins, Electric Toothbrushes & EMFs (HouseCall) 20.09.2026 19min

  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…   John: Hey doc ! Huge fan I'm 50 year old male and have thinning hair I've been taking your hair support for a few years what other products do you recommend I don't see any on your resource page . Thanks      H: Hi Dr. Cabral! I have been a client and a huge fan since 2017! No other provider comes close to your common sense appraches. Have bloating for couple years and last few months diarhea in am. I plan to order Candida protocol but a few years ago on month 2 of protocol, experienced gastritis. Have a very sensitive stomach, (citrus/ibuprofen unable to tolerate since childhood). What suggestions do you have to complete Candida protocol successfully. Completed Heavy Metals detox 7-2026, inflammation/food sensitivity tests 8-15-26 My diet is very clean, gluten-free, recently introduced sheep yogurt. Soon will start 7 day detox. My NP referred me to GI for diarhea, labs noted have markers for inflammtory bowel disease. I don't expect much from the GI visit! Thank you for your help!!      Stacey: Hi Dr.Cabral , I've been recently diagnosed diagnosed with possible PAD my Right leg was 0.81 and L 0.78 . I'm only 47 . High cholesterol no matter how clean I eat . It's a genetic disposition. My grandma died at age 49 from stokes & aneurysm. I'm terrified! I do your detoxes , protocols, supplements & enzymes. I follow your teachings . I'm at a loss of what to do . They want to put me on a Statin . Those scare me. What is the best way to treat this and stop it in its tracks . I don't smoke , I work out 5 to 6 days a week, I do have dysautonomia/ POTS but healed myself so much from that condition. Now I'm facing PAD , vein insufficiency & Lipedema . Plus may be having a prophylactic mastectomy to prevent breast cancer that is like wild fire in my family . My DNA sucks ! HELP PLEASE.       Stacey: Hi Dr. Cabral Stacey again concerning PAD . I left out that my LDL is 219 and I do have genetically high cholesterol. I've been trying to treat natural but it's been high for years . They also found small amount of plaque on my left carotid artery . Do you think it's time for a statin ? Do you have other suggestions? I've been on the enzymes for over a year now to treat it . I'm so scared of strokes & heart attacks. I'm only 47 and live a healthy lifestyle. I'm in shock by my results . PAD has not been confirmed yet but the first test is abnormal . I also have vein insufficiency & Lipedema & dysautonomia. I'm falling apart & can't stop crying . I do alllllll the things to fight for my health. Worst habit is an occasional drink       L: Hi, dr. C, hope you're well. I listened to the Friday review on the red light tooth brush & I'm wondering if you've ever heard that electric toothbrushes emit a lot of EMFs & so close to the brain, do you think it's true? I prefer to use an electric toothbrush but I'm wondering if they're actually that dangerous. Secondly, have you seen that now they're making more natural bristles? Most toothbrushes have plastic bristles which we grind against our teeth, so probably they're also a source of microplastics in our bodies. I've heard of castor oil bristles but it makes me wonder how much chemicals do they have to use in the process of making castor oil into bristles? Would love your take on it & maybe if there's some research available on it already? Thank you so much for all you do!     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: StephenCabral.com/3880 - - - 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 toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

  3879: Marathon Running, Food Sensitivity Ranges, Skin & Gut Health, Organic Chickpeas, Immune Support in Hospital (HouseCall) 19.09.2026 15min

  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:    Liam: I am planning to train for a marathon here in a few months. What insight do you have as far as balancing mTOR and AMPK during training? Obviously, mTOR is crucial for building strong muscles and tendons and preventing injury, but AMPK also stimulates mitochondrial biogenesis. Because I love morning workouts, my overall thought process was to workout fasted on lower intensity days, where my body can meet energy demand relying on predominately fat oxidation. I'd get the workout in while still being in a high fasted state. On the higher intensity days, I'd have a snack prior, which may kick me out of a fasting state slightly, but would allow me to perform out the desired intensity to maximize my training adaptations. Thanks for all that you do!       Kim: I watched your food sensitivity podcast. You said anything under 3.5 is optimal and the report had under 4.47 is optimal. I had an Equilife food sensitivity test and each food had its own sensitivity range. Most of the vegetables I eat were under 3.5 but were in moderate to high reactivity, such as, lettuce was 1.62, spinach was 1 and celery was 1.47. These were moderate reactivity. Cauliflower was 3.18 and bell pepper was 2.62 and under high reactivity. Also, most fish/seafood, meat/fowl, soybean, tofu, gliadin were zero. Why are foods now considered reactive that are under 3.5? What is causing high protein foods have zero reactivity?     Sarah: Hello! I'm an esthetician and have dealt with acne for 10 years (I'm now 30). I've done extensive internal work over the years, including lots of testing and different protocols, but I've never been able to get 100% clear, especially around my neck/jawline. Over the past few months I started using tazarotene, and my skin has responded incredibly well. My questions are: if a topical like taz can clear my skin so effectively, does that suggest my acne may be more of a follicular/skin level dysfunction rather than an internal root cause? Is topical treatment a "band aid," or are there cases where acne genuinely isn't driven by an internal imbalance? How can we determine whether acne is actually being driven internally?       Lara: Hi, dr. C! Hope you & your family are well! I was just listening to the episode 3824 where someone was asking about chickpeas, whether to get them in a glass jar or a can etc. You answered that you get them organic in a can & that they have been pressure cooked BEFORE they were put in a can, but I've been researching this & apparently they actually put them in the cans raw & pressure cook them IN the can - which is awful, considering the cans are coated with plastic coating & sometimes other chemicals.. did you find a company that doesn't do that because my understanding is that they all do it this way? Thank you, lots of love & healing to everyone.      Berry: Hi Doc, I am so thankful that you give us a chance to ask you questions. My father is 82 and goes to the hospital for various issues related to having one kidney. However, he frequently ends up picking up different diseases when he's there (last time it was pneumonia). Is there anything to do to help clean the hospital environment? For example, would spraying ozone in the room, taking large quantities of vitamin C or putting silver infused sheets on his bed help? Is there anything to do to lessen the risk of hospital related illnesses?

  The number on the scale is going down, but do you know what you're actually losing?     When it comes to weight loss, seeing a lower number can feel like success.

  3873: Eczema After Pregnancy, Plantar Fibroma & Children, Boosting AMPK, Children & Dental Health, Stress & Cholesterol (HouseCall) 13.09.2026 16min

  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…   Alyssa: Hi! After having our first baby I started getting eczema on my hands. Very itchy, small bumps with clear liquid in them. It flared up again after having our second baby and my hands are now extremely dry, cracked, have the little bumps and what I've read could be a wet eczema. Any idea why this is happening or how to clear it up? Thank you!      M: Hi Dr. Cabral, Firstly, thank you for such a brilliant podcast. I've learned so much from you over the years and really appreciate the practical way you share your knowledge. My 10-year-old son was recently diagnosed with a plantar fibroma after we noticed a firm lump in the arch of his foot and had it confirmed by ultrasound. I listened to your HouseCall episode #2011 where you discussed plantar fibromatosis and recommended proteolytic enzymes for adults. What approach would you recommend for a 10-year-old? Are there any underlying factors you would investigate, or natural/conservative therapies you would recommend to help prevent the fibroma from growing or potentially reduce it? He is very healthy and active and currently takes DNS, magnesium and omega-3s. Thank you.       Mohamed: Hello Dr.Cabral, just beginning my 7 day detox. Looking forward to it, Ive been researching a lot lately about ampK and Nrf2. The benefits of up regulation of ampk are incredible, I know you also touched on this. But can you elaborate and give a actionable plan with diet, exercise, supplements to boost ampk and get benefits from Lipid Control • Glucose • Oxidative Stress • Inflammatin • Endothelial •Toxic Protection • Apoptosis of maligniant cells and not in normal cells in response to a stress. From my research, berberine came up. But are there others? Thanks!       Jennifer: Our pediatric dentist has recommended that my 4 and a half year old daughter get crowns on every tooth because she was born with a bright white line along the gum line of every tooth and within a year had cavities on every single tooth. We got filings and silver paint to try to remedy the situation but within a year after all the fillings either came out or more cavities erupted on every tooth. We brush twice a day and against my original wishes do use fluoride for her now as well. I think we have to move forward with the dental work but can you tell me which lab tests I should run to make sure there's nothing else severe going on. I can use my subscription perk to do HTMA but if I need to do more I can. Our dentist said she had only seen one other case like this in her 25 years.       Mary: Had bloodwork run. I take 2.8g Omega 3 (1,400 EPA, 1,000 DHA), Vit D 5,000, Garlic (Aged fermented black garlic 600 mg, garlic allium (400 mg), Berberine 2x day (Equilife), cell boost, Nattokinase (Equilife), red yeast rice 1,200 mg includes 200 mg coQ10, and other supplements not related to what I'm writing about. My total cholesterol went from 210 to 226 from two years ago, triglicerides 119 to 330, HDL 61 to 46 & LDL 126 to 133. I eat very little meat, although I do eat cheese and sweets. I walk 15,000-20,000 steps a day. Only changes I can think of is in the last 1 1/2 years I have a way out of the ordinary amount of stress because of several factors. I ate (1/4c) steel cut oats every morning for years & recently switched to DNS shakes. Added psyllium. Not sure what else to do.     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: StephenCabral.com/3873 - - - 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 toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

  3872: Stage 1 Lipedema, Joint Pain & Protocols, Forceful Heartbeat, JAK2 Mutation, Mixing Bananas & Blueberries (HouseCall) 12.09.2026 17min

  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:    Angela: I have stage 1 lipedema. recently last 3 years gained about 30lbs. I am 43 and looking for help. I have had lipedema for as long as I can remember feeling my thighs were just SO fatty even when I was thiner. 120-132 lbs I want to feel like me again       Erik: Hi Dr. C, I was hoping to get some guidance about protocols. As of now I'm half way through the mold protocol after finishing the CBO protocol this spring. I had pretty bad bacterial overgrowth and mold markers. Ive been out of the mold for a year and was feeling good through the CBO protocol. However, the last week of the CBO protocol was the week of my yearly fishing trip. I had fun but it also involves a lot of processed foods and alcohol. This resulted in my bad joint pain starting mid meal coming back and almost feeling like Im starting over. On the mold protocol the joint pain during and post meal has continued despite eating lower histamine and taking DAO. Im almost 2 months in taking the clean gut probiotic and healthy gut support. Any suggestions what to do after heavy metal detox.     Alicja: Hello Dr. Cabral, Thank you for all you do. I'm your long time listener. I'm 43 yo and recently I started noticing my heart working differently. From time to time I experience very forceful heart beat. It is very noticeable and uncomfortable, like a hard thump. I'm not sure what is happening and what is causing it. It happens at random times of days, more and more often, and always at bed time when I try to go to sleep. Last night I counted and had the "hard thump" heart beat about every 10 seconds. Is this dangerous? What should I do about it? My puls is normal and I'm prone to low blood pressure. I'm not out of breath, but when I experience the hard thumps, it is harder to breathe. Why did I started experiencing this?       Amy: I heard you mention on an earlier podcast that you have worked with people that have JAK2 mutation. Is there actually a way to treat this naturally without using pharmaceuticals? My mom has this and they had her on a low dose chemo drug. We are wondering what (if anything) can be done naturally to help lower her platelet count. Thank you Dr. Cabral!     Anonymous: Hi! Hope you're doing well. I saw a reel on IG that we shouldn't mix bananas and blueberries because blueberries contain flavonoids and banana contains PPO which breaks down flavonoids? Is there any truth to this? And secondly, what do you think about the viral olive oil and lemon shots in the morning? They list so many benefits. If you are a proponent, how much of each would you use? Third question: is dancing a good way of exercising? I don't particularly enjoy other types of exercise like strength training, but dancing is something I could do every other day.. sometimes I could also do pilates but have to force myself to do it.. what would you recommend on a weekly basis? Thank you for your comprehensive answers and all you do, you're such a gem!       Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community's questions!      - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3872 - - - 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 toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

  3870: Nattokinase & Serrapeptase for Brain Health (TT) 10.09.2026 11min

  Can proteolytic enzymes support a healthier brain as you age?     We often think of enzymes like nattokinase and serrapeptase in relation to circulation and cardiovascular health, but emerging research suggests they may have a much broader role when it comes to brain health.     On today's show, I'm exploring how these proteolytic enzymes may support healthy cerebral circulation, help manage inflammation, and influence some of the processes associated with cognitive aging.     We'll look at the connection between blood flow and brain health, emerging research on nattokinase and amyloid plaque, and what studies have found about inflammation, neuroprotective factors, and cognitive function.     So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3870 to learn more about proteolytic enzymes for the brain and how supporting circulation and healthy inflammatory pathways may play a role in long-term brain health.     Enjoy the show, and let me know your thoughts!   - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/3870 - - - 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 toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?
