Welcome to the latest episode of the Evidence-Based Hair Podcast, hosted by dermatologist and hair loss specialist, Dr. Jeff Donovan. As the director of the Donovan Hair Academy, Dr. Donovan is committed to educating both the public and hair loss practitioners through comprehensive programs like the Evidence-Based Hair Fellowship (EBHF). In this episode, Dr. Donovan delves into a compelling case report from JAAD Case Reports that explores the use of diphencyprone (DPCP) for treating alopecia areata during pregnancy. Traditionally contraindicated in pregnancy, DPCP is a topical treatment that induces an allergic reaction on the scalp to promote hair regrowth in patients with alopecia areata. Dr. Donovan discusses a unique case where a patient opted to continue DPCP treatment during her pregnancies, resulting in minimal hair loss without any adverse effects on her pregnancies or babies. Dr. Donovan emphasizes the significance of this study in contributing to the limited data available on DPCP use during pregnancy. While the findings are promising, he cautions that more research is needed before making broad recommendations for DPCP use during pregnancy. Join Dr. Donovan next week too as he explores the trichoscopy of alopecia neoplastica from breast cancer in another enlightening episode of the Evidence-Based Hair Podcast. Don't miss this opportunity to expand your knowledge and engage in meaningful discussions about hair loss treatment and research.     STUDIES REFERENCED IN THIS EPISODE: Desai DD et al.

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…   Kelly: Hi Dr. Cabral! It's Kelly, an IHP L2 & lover of ALL things health, wealth & wellness. I would love to hear your POV, evidence based of course, on ( maybe don't say the product name - totally up to your digression) Enagic K8 water ionization system. Which creates more hydrogen rich water & to my understanding is more bioavailable to the body, acting almost like an adaptogenic, being a small enough molecule to penetrate the cell walls & even pass the blood brain barrier. I am always curious & have been incorporating with my clients wellness plans. As water, like food, movement and all the layers in the ‘DESTRESS' protocol are important. I do however want to practice with integrity & I am chasing your wisdom . Would you consider it for a product review in the future? If so reach out   Holly: Hi Dr. C! I have Alopecia Areata (40yr old women) and have tried all your hair loss protocols (including massively reducing stressors) alas nothing is working! I've resisted the steroid creams the doctor prescribed so far but running out of options. My question is about your thoughts on micro needling? And also thoughts on hyaluronic acid serum? (Or other recommendations). Thanks Holly   Oliver: Hi Stephen, Are there any benefits or negatives to listening to podcasts/audiobooks at a fast speed? I listen to most podcasts at 2x speed which is great to consume lots of info quickly but my mum thinks its bad for you so wondered if there is any effect on the brain?   Tessi: Hi Dr! I have addisons disease and noticed my blood work shows really high levels of hemocrit and hemoglobin on my blood work. Is this normally associated with having an adrenal issue or could it be something more? Any ways to lower it naturally?   Josh: Hi Dr. Cabral - thank you for all you do to educate us. I take a number of vitamins & minerals daily, many of which are taken at the same time. I'm curious if there are any vitamins/minerals that should not be taken together and if there are any that are best taken on an empty stomach. I understand fat soluble should be taken with healthy fats, but aside from that, I'm unaware of any considerations. Thank you!   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/3089 - - - 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?

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:    Lara: Hi, dr C. :) If something contains either ORGANIC corn starch, ORGANIC corn flour or ORGANIC corn meal (“polenta”), or just ORGANIC corn in general, would you eat it and if so how regularly? Are there benefits to eating corn (if it's organic)? And secondly, why do some people experience menstrual cramps and some don't? And also why do some people have cramps/pain even when ovulation occurs? Thank you for all your help and support you provide us daily, you're amazing..   Tiana: Hello! I've been thoroughly enjoying your podcast—it's been incredibly insightful and uplifting. I'm thrilled to share that after completing a 21-day detox, I'm amazed by the results and the comprehensive explanations of my lab results during my recent appointment. I've become curious about some health-related topics, namely vitamin D and B injections, peptide injection therapy, and chelation therapy. While I understand these might not be services you offer and I don't necessarily need, I would love to hear your insights on these subjects purely out of personal interest. Your perspective always brings such clarity and depth to discussions. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!   Sheila: Dear Dr Cabral What is your opinion of topical thyroid hormone cream designed to provide superior flexibility, absorption, and utilization of T2 for thyroid patients. Is this cream better than taking the pills or supplements? Thanks very much   Kortney: Hi! First of all, I am so thankful for all of the information you give to the community! I have spent hundreds of dollars on labs and supplements to get healthy. I had mold exposure in an apartment I was living in 2 years ago. I lived there for 2 years and was also pregnant and breastfeeding in the mold. My baby and I both had identical symptoms(rashes, congestion, etc). We finally got it tested and it came back positive for black mold. We moved out immediately. I was never told I needed to detox so I just moved out and went on with my life. Well, now I have been having unexplained Alopecia areata, I get sick all the time, anxiety, etc. I had RA markers on my labs as well as high cortisol and TGF Beta 1. Where should I start with getting well again?   Kortney:  Hi! I am currently doing the Dr. Cabral detox. After day 1 I woke up the next morning nauseous and had a migraine. I ate some canned beans after a couple hours and felt better so I continued the detox following the days 3-7. Should I have stopped the detox? Or was that a sign everything was moving through my body? I was unsure of what to do. I am trying to detox from mold exposure and had RA markers and high TGF Beta 1 on my last labs.   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/3067 - - - 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?
