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: I was wondering what the minimum amount of gluten and minimum amount of days is to eat before taking a celiac test. I heard only 2 weeks instead of 6 will work. I get bad brain fog so can't take the test if it's 6 weeks. Thank you!     S: Hi Dr. Cabral. I recently learned about Safe Catch Tuna. I know normally it is important to limit tuna consumption due to mercury accumulating in the fish. I'm just wondering if this brand truly makes it any safer to consume tuna a bit more often? They have different varieties of tuna such as albacore and skipjack if the type of tuna matters (If it does could you clarify why?).     Holly: Hi Dr. C, the past 6 months ive begun struggling with massive fatigue that hits about 3pm. I complete the seasonal detox, ive done CBO and eat well (including rarely any sugar)… ive changed nothing (apart from starting the gym, lifting weights). I'm 42 and have tried tracking my symptoms to my cycle- and I mostly get fatigued in the first week-2 after my period and a day or 2 before. I'm 42, have an autoimmune condition (alopecia areata that I had rebalanced /regrown but developed another patch a few months ago). Is this perimenopause? What can I do to rebalance my hormones naturally? Note I'm not currently in a financial postion to do any functional testing. Thank you    Susan: Hi Dr Cabral, I'm new to the community and appreciate all that you do. I'm a whole food plant-based eater and eat mostly organic food when possible. Recently I experienced bouts of diarrhea for about 2 weeks before showing improvement over the next two weeks. I didn't want to take over the counter medicine, so I let it run its course. I had no other symptoms. What could I have done to treat this? Thanks for your help.    Erin: I have had 2 c-sections and 2 years ago had a hernia repair and abdominal repair at the same time. For about a year now i have had an area below the diaphragm that is so tight and bloats most of the time. I went to a myofascial specialist and she said that area is full of scar tissue from the repair (it was the start of the abdominal repair in that area) and it was holding so much water. She said the way my c-sections were done it blocked my lymphatic drainage. So i will be doing some weekly work with her but what else can I do to breakdown all that tissue. I am so miserable so often from it. Thank you for your help.     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/3887 - - - 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?

For review:1. The leaders of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland called Monday for the British government to "prepare for, plan and facilitate" constitutional change that could lead to the breakup of the United Kingdom, with the remarks coming days after President Trump said he would "love to see" Irish reunification.2. Apparent Houthi attacks early Tuesday morning triggered warnings in six Saudi cities, including Yanbu, the kingdom's main Red Sea oil port, and Riyadh warned it would react “firmly” to the Iran-backed rebels' ongoing missile and drone attacks.3. The military chiefs of Israel, the US, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Jordan and Egypt held a meeting in Germany last week about the war with Iran and regional tensions, two Israeli officials told the Axios news site.The private meeting at a secluded ski resort, organized by US CENTCOM commander Brad Cooper and confirmed by CENTCOM to Axios, was the first such gathering since the US and Israel launched their joint campaign against Iran in February, according to the report.4. US President Donald Trump's administration is planning to sell to Israel a munitions package worth $2.8 billion, which will include tens of thousands of highly destructive 2,000-pound bombs, according to a US official familiar with the sale.5. The IDF and Shin Bet confirm killing the commander of Hamas's Rafah Brigade in an airstrike in the southern Gaza Strip this evening.6. Israeli firm Rafael Advanced Defense Systems announced today that for the first time it is “integrating its SPICE 1000 air-to-surface munition on the F-35 fighter aircraft,” a move it sees as a “significant step” in allowing other F-35 users to use the munition.SPICE stands for Smart, Precise Impact and Cost-Effective and refers to a line of munitions meant to provide a stand-off strike capability of more than 75 miles (120km). 7. According to a CBO report, combat operations in Iran have cost the Defense Department around $38 billion as of August 1. 

P.M. Edition for Sept. 15. The annual Census report on households' financial well-being showed that median household income notched a new record last year.

We hear from reporter Vicky Ge Huang about where the measure goes from here. And the Kennedy Center's board voted to close the venue for renovations, even as President Trump threatened to block them over a naming dispute. Alex Ossola hosts.

Un'analisi approfondita sulla sostenibilità del debito pubblico che smonta i falsi allarmi sulle crisi finanziarie imminenti. Attraverso il confronto tra il default dell'Argentina del 2001 e la stabilità del Giappone, la lezione dimostra come il rapporto debito/PIL non sia l'indicatore decisivo per un fallimento. Viene spiegato l'errore metodologico del celebre studio di Harvard sulla soglia del 90%, l'importanza della relazione tra tasso di interesse e crescita economica ($r$ vs $g$), la storia della repressione finanziaria negli USA nel dopoguerra e 3 implicazioni pratiche per la gestione dei risparmi. Paradosso Argentina vs Giappone: Nel 2001 l'Argentina andò in default con un debito al 62% del PIL, mentre il Giappone possiede un debito del 237% senza rischi di fallimento. Questo dimostra che non è il valore assoluto del debito a determinare il default. L'errore Reinhart-Rogoff: Lo studio del 2010 di Harvard, che sosteneva un crollo della crescita (-0,1%) con debito sopra il 90%, conteneva un errore in Excel scoperto nel 2013 dal dottorando Thomas Herndon. Corretto l'errore, la crescita media reale risultava positiva (+2,2%). La vera regola ($r$ vs $g$) La sostenibilità del debito dipende dalla corsa tra il tasso d'interesse pagato ($r$) e il tasso di crescita dell'economia ($g$). Se la crescita supera il tasso, il debito si riduce in proporzione; in caso contrario si genera l'effetto valanga. La situazione degli Stati Uniti: Il debito USA supera i 40.000 miliardi di dollari con un tasso medio del 3,45% a fronte di una crescita nominale del 3,9% (CBO). Repressione Finanziaria (1942-1951): Negli USA, il tetto ai rendimenti al 2,5% accoppiato all'inflazione del 17,6% (1946-1947) erose 15 punti di potere d'acquisto annui per sgonfiare il debito senza default formali. Il pareggio dell'Italia: Con un costo medio del debito al 2,8% e una crescita nominale al 2,8% (0,7% reale), l'Italia si trova al punto di pareggio. L'Italia spende il 3,8% del PIL in interessi (contro il 3,3% degli USA), evidenziando un problema di velocità di crescita più che di tassi. 3 Implicazioni per gli Investitori: 1. I mutui a tasso fisso beneficiano dei periodi di svalutazione del debito da inflazione, mentre la liquidità ferma perde potere d'acquisto. 2. Gli ETF azionari globali sono fortemente concentrati su un solo Paese (~70% USA). 3. Concentrare i risparmi in soli BTP espone a un rischio unico legato all'emittente del Paese in cui si lavora e si risiede.

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?

This week we talk about money policies, yield curves, and government bonds.We also discuss the Fed, the Treasury Department, and a WWII accord between them.Recommended Book: Paved Paradise by Henry GrabarTranscriptIn April of 1942, a few months after the United States entered World War 2, the US Treasury Department asked the Federal Reserve to help it borrow a truly staggering amount of money, and as cheaply as possible. The Fed agreed, committing itself to holding short-term Treasury bill rates at three-eighths of 1%, while also capping the yield on long-term government bonds at 2.5%.This was a type of yield curve control. Rather than allowing the market to decide how much interest the government would pay, the Fed decided that price and promised to enforce it.That helped finance the war, because the Treasury knew its borrowing costs wouldn't spiral out of control at a moment when it needed to spend unprecedented sums on ships, planes, weapons, soldiers, and all the other machinery of an ongoing global conflict.The downside was that the Fed lost control of an important monetary policy lever.Bond prices and yields move in opposite directions, so keeping yields below a certain level meant the Fed had to stand ready to buy bonds whenever their prices dropped. It couldn't decide in advance how many it would buy, or how much money it would create in the process. The market would thus forth decide that, instead.Consequently, the Fed became, in some ways, an extension of the Treasury's debt-management operation, its inflation-related responsibilities made secondary to the government's need for cheap financing.That arrangement persisted after the war ended, despite the return of inflation, and President Harry Truman's administration pushed to maintain it during the Korean War, as well.Fed officials resisted, though, with inflation running at more than 8%, and after a very public, very contentious standoff, on March 4, 1951, the Treasury and the Fed announced that they had reached what became known as the Treasury-Fed Accord.That agreement did not make the Fed independent all at once, but it established the principle underlying the modern relationship between these institutions: the Treasury manages government borrowing, while the Fed sets monetary policy based on inflation and employment, not on how much that policy costs the government.The market, in other words, would once again be allowed to decide the price of long-term US debt.What I'd like to talk about today is what happens when that price goes up, what's pushing long-term US borrowing costs toward levels we haven't seen in decades, and why two people appointed by the same president are pulling in opposite directions on this issue.—The Federal Reserve's primary interest-rate lever is the federal funds rate, which is the overnight rate banks charge each other to borrow money. The Fed currently targets a range of 3.5 to 3.75 percent for that rate, and while it has other tools, this is the number people are usually talking about when they say the Fed raised, cut, or held rates.The Fed does not directly set the yield on 10- or 30-year Treasuries, though.Those securities are sold at auction and then traded in a huge secondary market, and their yields reflect a combination of what investors expect inflation to look like, where they think short-term rates will go over the life of the bond, and what's called the term premium.The term premium is basically extra compensation for uncertainty. If you lock up your money for 30 years instead of rolling over short-term debt, you accept the risk that inflation, growth, government policy, and other variables will change in ways that make your bond less valuable over that thirty year period. The more uncertain the future seems, the more compensation you're likely to demand.And again, when demand for a bond falls, its price falls and its yield rises. When we say yields are rising, that means borrowers have to offer investors, the people and institutions giving them the money they want to borrow, more money, more interest, to convince them to buy those bonds.That doesn't only affect the government. The 10-year Treasury serves as something like a reference rate for the entire economy, influencing mortgages, business loans, and the value of long-lived assets.As of September 3 of 2026, the average US 30-year fixed mortgage rate was 6.71%, up from 6.5% a year earlier. That increase is the result of yield increases in the bond market.Long-term Treasury yields have been climbing for much of 2026, and that climb accelerated over the summer.The 30-year yield reached about 5.31 percent on August 17, its highest level since 2007. A few days earlier, the Treasury sold 30-year bonds at a yield of 5.216%, the highest borrowing cost at one of those auctions since 2001.The 10-year yield briefly hit about 4.81% this past week, its highest level since early 2025, and ended Friday at about 4.78%. The two-year yield, which tends to track expectations about contemporary Fed policy more closely, ended at about 4.37%.There isn't one clean cut reason for these yield bumps. Instead, there are a bunch of forces pushing in roughly the same direction.The first is government borrowing. The Congressional Budget Office now expects a roughly 2.1 trillion dollar federal deficit this fiscal year, which is 200 billion dollars more than it projected in February. Covering that gap means issuing more debt, and more supply generally means the Treasury has to offer a better return to attract enough buyers.The second is competition from corporations, especially technology companies borrowing to build AI infrastructure and data centers.The Dallas Fed estimates that AI-related investment-grade bond issuance—these companies borrowing money, in the form of bonds, to help build more data centers and other AI-enabling stuff—could total around $300 billion this year, creating long-duration debt equivalent to about an eighth of what the Treasury is expected to issue. Some of the companies selling this debt have extremely strong balance sheets and high credit ratings, so investors who want safe-ish, long-term bonds suddenly have a lot more options, and the US government has to compete with that for a finite pool of investor resources.Third, oil prices have surged following renewed strikes and attacks around the Strait of Hormuz, with US benchmark prices recently climbing above $90 a barrel. More expensive energy can goose inflation across the economy, which makes locking in a fixed return for 10 or 30 years less appealing, because those yields might not keep up with the practical devaluation of the dollar.Fourth, that aforementioned term premium has risen as investors ask to be paid more for uncertainty related to inflation, deficits, geopolitics, and future Treasury issuance.And fifth, the pool of buyers is changing. Foreign investors still own trillions of dollars in Treasuries, but private foreign demand for notes and bonds fell sharply in June, even as corporate bonds attracted more of that finite sum of money.A big shift we seem to be seeing here is that some investors seem to be judging Treasuries less as a bet on the next Fed meeting, and more as a long-term bet on whether the US political system can manage its finances. And that shift is showing up at an awkward moment for the two institutions involved in the 1951 Accord.Kevin Warsh, who became Fed chair in May, used his August 28 speech at Jackson Hole to say that although inflation expectations remain anchored, the Fed still has work to do if underlying inflation is not moving toward its target quickly enough.Markets read that as a warning that a rate hike could be coming, and the unexpectedly strong August jobs report reinforced that interpretation: employers added 162,000 jobs, far more than economists anticipated, while estimates for June and July were revised upward.The Treasury Department, meanwhile, is moving in the opposite direction.On August 19, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced that the government would at least double the size of its long-term bond buybacks, from a maximum of 2 billion dollars to at least 4 billion dollars per operation, beginning September 9 and continuing through November 4.The stated purpose is to improve liquidity, buying older, less frequently traded 10- to 30-year securities. But buying long-term bonds also reduces the supply available to investors, boosting prices and putting downward pressure on yields, which is why Bessent has referred to the approach as a “Treasury twist.”The scale is small in the context of a $40 trillion national debt, and analysts have described it as more signal than substance. It is nonetheless a striking signal: one Trump appointee is telling markets that higher short-term rates may be necessary to control inflation, while another is using the Treasury's balance sheet to push long-term rates in the other direction.These jobs, which again, were separated in 1951, are working against each other. And this matters, first, because long-term government debt is the foundation upon which a lot of other prices are built.When a 30-year Treasury yields more than 5%, companies refinancing debt have to pay more, commercial real estate becomes harder to finance, mortgages become more expensive, and investors have less reason to pay extremely high prices for stocks based on profits those companies might earn many years from now.It also matters because interest on the federal debt has become one of the government's largest expenses. Gross interest expense reached about $1.17 trillion during the first ten months of fiscal 2026, up about 15% from the same period last year. The somewhat narrower CBO measure of net interest reached $963 billion over that span, roughly level with Medicare spending and greater than defense spending.This creates a potentially self-reinforcing loop: higher yields increase the cost of servicing the debt, higher interest costs expand the deficit, larger deficits require more borrowing, and more borrowing can put further upward pressure on yields.Economists use the term fiscal dominance to describe the point at which government financing needs start to constrain monetary policy, pushing the central bank to keep rates lower than it otherwise would, or to buy government debt, even if doing so undermines its effort to control inflation.The US is not necessarily at that point, but this is exactly the kind of pressure the 1951 Accord was meant to prevent.As with everything government money-related, there's also a global dimension to this shift.For decades, Japanese banks, insurers, pension funds, and other institutions bought foreign bonds in part because yields at home were so low. On September 1, though, Japan's 10-year government bond yield touched 3% for the first time since 1996.Japan's government has more debt relative to the size of its economy than any other wealthy country, and it assumed a 3% long-term rate when calculating debt-service costs for its current budget. Rising above that level would strain its finances, but those higher yields also give Japanese investors more reason to keep their money at home.That doesn't mean Japanese institutions will dump all their Treasuries. Currency-hedging costs and the specific needs of different investors complicate that calculation. But when a major source of relatively steady demand becomes more price-sensitive, the marginal buyer of US debt has to be paid more to invest.Finally, the Treasury market itself has become somewhat more fragile.The amount of debt in circulation has grown far faster than the balance sheets of the dealers that traditionally absorb buying and selling. Hedge funds have filled some of that gap using highly leveraged strategies, including something called the cash-futures basis trade.Fed researchers estimate that these positions reached about $830 billion by September 2025, representing 35% of hedge funds' long Treasury exposure. These trades can provide useful liquidity when markets are calm, but because they rely on enormous amounts of borrowed money to capture tiny price differences, they can also unwind pretty quickly when volatility spikes.That sort of unwind contributed to the Treasury-market seizure in March of 2020, and a different leveraged hedge-fund strategy added to turbulence in April of 2025.The assets treated as the world's safest and most liquid can still become difficult to sell when everyone needs cash at the same time, in other words.The next few weeks should partially clarify what's actually driving this unusual market.The expanded Treasury buybacks begin the day after this episode goes live, September 9. Producer-price inflation data arrives on September 10, consumer-price data on September 11, and the Fed meets on September 15 and 16. The Bank of Japan follows on September 17 and 18, when it may increase its policy rate from 1% to around 1.25%.If the Fed hikes and long-term yields fall, that could indicate investors view the move as credible inflation-fighting: short-term borrowing becomes more expensive, but the term premium shrinks because the distant future seems less inflationary.If the Fed holds after a soft inflation report and short-term yields fall while the 30-year barely moves, that would suggest the long end is being driven by deficits, debt supply, oil prices, corporate competition, and global demand more than Fed policy.And if the buybacks begin but long-term yields continue to climb, that would demonstrate the limits of debt-management policy in a market this large. The Treasury could respond by issuing more short-term and less long-term debt, reducing immediate borrowing costs, though that would also mean refinancing more frequently and taking on the risk that rates remain high.It could also draw down some of the around $950 billion in its account at the Fed to fund larger buybacks, but that cash also serves as a buffer against the debt ceiling, which the government is currently expected to reach sometime in 2027. Spending the buffer now would mean rebuilding it later, and rebuilding it would require issuing even more debt.Back in 1951, the Treasury and the Fed reached an agreement that the central bank should not be required to make government borrowing cheap, and that the price of long-term debt should be allowed to reflect what the market believed that debt was worth.Right now, the market is rendering its verdict, and that verdict is that lending the United States money for 30 years has become substantially more expensive. Now we wait to see what Washington decides to do about it.Show Noteshttps://www.federalreservehistory.org/essays/treasury-fed-accordhttps://www.brookings.edu/articles/what-is-the-treasury-fed-accord-of-1951-and-why-is-it-important/https://www.federalreserve.gov/data/three-factor-nominal-term-structure-model.htmhttps://www.freddiemac.com/pmmshttps://www.cbo.gov/publication/61983https://fiscaldata.treasury.gov/datasets/interest-expense-on-the-public-debt-outstanding/interest-expense-on-the-public-debt-outstandinghttps://fiscaldata.treasury.gov/datasets/debt-to-the-penny/debt-to-the-pennyhttps://www.dallasfed.org/research/economics/2026/0210-searls-aifinancinghttps://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/sb0606https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/sb0607https://www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/speech/warsh20260828a.htmhttps://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.htmhttps://apnews.com/article/1af16359af43eb8abc66445465f633c8https://apnews.com/article/775d7cf741349c7c8e689c0beb57f074https://apnews.com/article/a27a8d3651ff810b25c610d3e1b6259dhttps://www.federalreserve.gov/econres/notes/feds-notes/decomposing-hedge-funds-u-s-treasury-exposures-20260622.htmlhttps://www.imf.org/en/publications/fandd/issues/2026/03/safeguarding-the-treasury-market-jeremy-steinhttps://www.investing.com/news/economy-news/japans-benchmark-bond-yield-rises-to-3-for-first-time-in-30-years-4883532https://www.boj.or.jp/en/mopo/mpmsche_minu/index.htmhttps://bipartisanpolicy.org/article/when-will-we-reach-the-debt-limit-again/https://home.treasury.gov/policy-issues/financing-the-government/quarterly-refunding/most-recent-quarterly-refunding-documents/https://www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/fomccalendars.htmhttps://www.bls.gov/schedule/2026/09_sched.htmhttps://www.axios.com/newsletters/axios-markets-a975877a-ddce-4ea0-a735-4b460d37af90.htmlhttps://www.ft.com/content/c96c25c1-b27c-4c08-a2ba-21821b39dd78https://www.axios.com/2026/08/19/rates-treasury-borrowing-bessent This is a public episode.

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 Working my way out of burn out, and gut issues. Trying to work in b vitamins, but getting some overstimulation. I already shifted to methyl free b9,12 as they were giving me issues likely because of gut health. Should I try to work them in first, or work on lowering stress first? I wanted to have b vitamins in my rotation before attempting the CBO protocol, but not sure if I'm able to. I know excessive oxidative stress etc in the gut can cause methylation issues, but you still need b vitamins for optimal gut health right, so it seems like a chicken and egg scenario. If you could nudge me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it. Thanks for all you do. Almost done with level 1 IHP and looking forward to meeting you at the Reimagining Health Summit in November.      Shirra: I have symptoms of MCAS I am breastfeeding where to I begin to heal it what tests to order?       Sai: Hello Dr. Cabral, thank you for all your work! 38M, healthy lifestyle, but chronic GERD with a minimal hiatal hernia since 33. On/off PPIs for 5+ years. Had 4 endoscopies in 6 years—just told to take meds. Biopsies/labs confirmed negative for H. pylori and Candida.Off PPIs for months and OK if I eat perfectly. But just one wrong food triggers an intense vicious cycle, requiring weeks of medications to reset. No bloating, constipation, diarrhea, or indigestion. Why won't this tissue heal, and why am I so hyper-sensitive?Recently, a tiny bit of decaf coffee caused severe pain, sudden bowel movements, and a strong sensation of food stuck in my upper abdomen (must walk to move it). Back on meds now. Is chronic reflux inevitable with a minor hernia, or am I missing a root cause? Thank       Anonymous: Here's what's happened: 2023: Abdominal ultrasound showed a 7 mm gallbladder polyp; I had no symptoms. 2024: Endoscopy/biopsies found chronic atrophic gastritis, intestinal metaplasia mainly in the stomach body, and ECL/neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia. The pattern suggested autoimmune gastritis/pernicious anemia. No H. pylori, dysplasia, or cancer was found. Follow-up was planned every 2–3 years. July 2026: Repeat endoscopy looked reassuring with no obvious concerning area. Mapping biopsies found a tiny 1 mm, Grade 1, well-differentiated gastric neuroendocrine tumor. The doctor said the visible bump was fully removed. No dysplasia or usual stomach carcinoma was found. Plan: conservative monitoring and repeat endoscopy in 6–12 months. My question: Can this/ autoimmune gastritis be reverse.       Nicole: Hi Stephen, A bit of background: I suffer with migraines, which started in 2021 around the time I was living in a mold-exposed environment (I also received the COVID shot that same year). I'm based in Australia. I had urine mycotoxin testing that came back elevated for ochratoxin A, aflatoxins, trichothecenes, and zearalenone. Based on those results, I purchased your Mold Protocol. I've also put on significant weight since the mold exposure. I also recently had a stool microbiome test done, which showed low levels of several beneficial bacteria (including Akkermansia muciniphila and various Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium species), along with an elevated Phocaeico     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/3866 - - - 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?

This week on Facing the Future, former CBO director Doug Elmendorf discusses the $40 trillion debt and why it matters now, not just in the future. He also gives his assessment of what artificial intelligence could mean for the economy and the federal budget.

The price tag for the Pentagon's ambitious Golden Dome missile defense system has become a point of contention between the Defense Department and the Congressional Budget Office. CBO says the vision laid out by President Trump last year could cost taxpayers at least $1.2 trillion over two decades, but Pentagon officials have pushed back on that estimate and questioned some of the assumptions behind it.

The Big Unlock · Alex Zhavoronkov, Founder, CEO and CBO, Insilico Medicine In this episode, Alex Zhavoronkov, Founder, CEO and CBO of Insilico Medicine, explores how generative AI is reshaping drug discovery and opening new possibilities in longevity research. He explains how AI can move pharmaceutical R&D from searching for promising molecules toward generating molecules with desired properties, while orchestrating specialized models and agents across the drug development lifecycle. Insilico combines AI models across biology, chemistry, and clinical development to move from target identification to drug candidates faster, with multiple programs now in clinical trials. Alex argues that AI can dramatically expand the number of experiments researchers can conduct, but the complexity of biology means failure remains inevitable and real-world validation is essential. He discusses the industry’s shift from predictive AI to generative and agentic systems capable of orchestrating thousands of drug discovery tasks, while emphasizing the importance of rigorous validation. Alex believes the strongest competitive advantages will come from proprietary drugs, scientific infrastructure, capital, and the ability to turn ideas into validated products. He cautions against AI hype and emphasizes benchmarking, peer-reviewed evidence, and clinical results. His ultimate ambition is to use AI-driven drug discovery to extend human lifespan and give people more years of life. Take a listen. This guest appearance was facilitated through conversations initiated at Ai4 2026.

On today's show, Norris and I are diving deep into the high-stakes redevelopment plans for the Renaissance Center and the nearby east riverfront, looking to transform 35 acres that has been sitting mostly quiet for many years.  After going to their preview center and attending the first of a number of weekly CBO meetings, we ask and react honestly the big question on everyone's mind: what do you actually do with a massive waterfront complex that's currently only 5% occupied? What vibes did we get from the community? And what's next? You can also learn more about the project here, and give your feedback to them: https://detroit-riverfront.bedrockdetroit.com/ Also as Metro Detroit's one of America's greatest news towns: We also quickly talk through the disturbing Christian nationalist march targeting Dearborn's Muslim community. We'll dig into it more on the show in a future episode. Plus, I break down a press event I attended at the Wright Museum outlining a proposed regional millage to keep Wayne and Oakland County's core historical institutions funded for the next decade.  It's a packed episode of your Daily Detroit covering the economic, political, and cultural shifts shaping Metro Detroit right now.

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:    Amanda: I am perimenopausal and struggle with sleep, ADHD, and anxiety (among other things). I would like to use cannabis (where legal) to help with my sleep struggles, anxiety, and ADHD symptoms. Is THC, in any form, considered a valuable supplement?       Anonymous: Good morning doctor, always looking forward to your "ask cabral" Housecall podcast every weekend. Been doing research on the gut-liver connection, an interesting study correlated gut dysbiosis with hepato-carcinoma. I know you dont provide health/medical advice. But if someone, hypothetically speaking, wanted to address the root cause of an (unknown) liver mass (biopsy results pending), with elevated liver enzymes.. Could the CBO protocol work. if not.. what foods can optimize the gut. Currently using Cermonial Organic Matcha green tea, Mediterrian diet (EVOO).. melatonin. Any other good ones? Thanks P.S thanks for introducing me to the wonders of Sulforaphane (broccoli sprouts)!        Struggling in Texas: Hi! I did allergy testing at the allergist: no foods but SO MANY environmentally. Grasses, trees, molds, cockroaches….what direction do I go? My dr said shots but don't love that thought. I have to do something because we have allergens year round and I constantly have so much inflammation from it. Thank you!        Elizabeth: Hello Dr. Cabral! I wanted to know what your thoughts are on microdosed Gummies that contain CBD and THC? So thankful for you and for your teaching.       Vicky: I'm so thankful to have discovered you Dr. Cabral- appreciate your generosity + support for all of us out here pursuing wellness. Do you know what causes people to smell smoke when there isn't any? It had gone away for months, since I started down your protocol roadmap actually, but recently a cold turned into the sinus infection (which it often does) and the smoke smell is back on and off again. So far I've completed all protocols before mold, and half of mold. Mold detox put my immune system under a lot of stress which contributed to my getting a sinus infection for the first time since starting my detox journey. I have many system issues like many of the people you help - nervous, hormonal (neurotransmitters), immune, and digestive to name a few.

Send us Fan MailMedicaid work requirements take effect in every expansion state by January 1, 2027. But half the states just sued to stop the rules that govern them. They're challenging a new federal rule that narrows who counts as “medically frail” and adds paperwork for people trying to prove they're exempt. We'll discuss what the fight means for coverage, providers, and for the states preparing to implement.In our latest episode, David E. Williams (President, Health Business Group) and John Driscoll (Chairman, UConn Health) dig into what these cuts will really cost. They break down the CBO's projections for coverage and dollars over the next decade, and why a last-minute federal rule narrowing the definition of "medical frailty" may be the most consequential, and least understood, piece of the whole debate.

What if your 100 people could feel like 300? That's the bet Robin Daniels, Chief Business Officer at Zensai and author of The Human Success Playbook, is making - and it's working. His company doubled revenue over three years and has been named a great place to work three years running. He joins us to break down how to unlock the potential already sitting inside your organization, lead through genuine uncertainty, and build B2B content that people can actually put to work. About our guest, Robin Daniels Robin Daniels is Chief Business Officer at Zensai, a learning and performance platform competing in a market dominated by Oracle, SAP, and Workday. He previously served as CMO at Matterport and WeWork and held senior marketing roles at Salesforce, LinkedIn, and Box. He recently co-authored The Human Success Playbook - a narrative business book that follows a fictional CEO who refuses a board's demand to cut 40% of the company and sets out to prove there's a better way. The book comes with an AI-powered interface where readers can ask the authors questions and apply every framework directly to their own organization. What B2B Marketers Can Learn From The Human Success Playbook The biggest AI opportunity isn't efficiency - it's multiplication. Robin starts every conversation the same way: do you see AI as a way to cut costs and get more efficient, or do you see it as a way to unlock insane potential in the team you already have? He's made his choice - and built a company around it. Ian puts the math plainly: if you have 100 people, the far more exciting challenge is figuring out how to make them feel like 200 or 300 and generate the revenue to prove it. Robin connects it to something every leader already knows but rarely acts on: "I truly believe everyone has something they're really creatively good at. But if you can actually find time to focus on that, it can lead to new ways of growing your business that maybe you hadn't even thought of before." The companies that win the next five years won't be the ones who cut hardest. They'll be the ones who figured out how to multiply. You can't shrink your way to greatness. Robin credits Tom Peters for the line and means it completely. His argument isn't about shaming companies that make cuts - sometimes it's necessary to survive. The argument is about where the real upside lives: investing in people, giving them new tools and skills and goals, and then letting them find growth paths nobody had imagined yet. "I've never seen a company shrink their way to greatness," he says. "You have to grow." Ian adds the frame: the goal isn't to replace anything - it's to generate more revenue. "How are we going to 2X our revenue?" is a fundamentally more energizing question than "how do we get more efficient?" And it tends to produce more interesting answers. Lead with a vision even when you don't have all the answers. Robin is direct about what employees actually hate most: not bad news, not hard feedback, but uncertainty. "If you don't know what you're working towards, it's really hard to do great work." In The Human Success Playbook, the fictional CEO Evan has eight months to show a different path or get fired - and the whole tension of the story is whether he has the courage to set a direction without knowing exactly where it leads. Robin's advice for real leaders in that position: paint the vision, commit to it, and stay flexible enough to adjust as the world changes. And then, with characteristic directness: "Being a leader has always been tough. Suck it up, buttercup." The future of B2B content is a framework people can make their own. Robin didn't just write The Human Success Playbook - he and his co-authors built an AI-powered interface on top of it so readers can chat with the book and apply its frameworks to their specific company. A 500-person manufacturer in Germany gets different advice than a mid-size bank in the Midwest. Ian connects it to a bigger shift in how B2B content works: "You're building to say: here's the framework, your AI already knows where you want to go as a business, layer this on top and execute." The white paper people download and never read is being replaced by something that actually does the work. Robin is explicit about why: competing against Oracle, SAP, and Workday with a smaller budget means doing something genuinely different. The book is that thing. "I truly believe everyone has something they're really creatively good at. But if you can actually find time to focus on that, it can lead to new ways of growing your business that maybe you hadn't even thought of before." - Robin Daniels Time Stamps [4:00] Meet Robin Daniels, CBO at Zensai and Author of The Human Success Playbook [4:39] Why Robin Wrote the Book - and Why Now [6:00] The Multiplier Choice: Unlock Potential vs. Cut Costs [8:00] It's Just a New Technology - Adapt and Grow [10:00] Robin Has Seen This Before: Internet, Cloud, Mobile, AI [11:00] The Book's Setup: CEO Evan, a 40% Cut Demand, and a Better Way [12:00] The Villain Isn't AI - It's Ignorance and Fear [14:00] Internal vs. External Motivation - and Why Inner Fire Wins [15:00] The Mountain Analogy: What Leaders Owe Their Teams in Uncertain Times [17:00] How to Lead When You Don't Have the Answers [19:00] Suck It Up, Buttercup - Leadership Has Always Been Hard [22:00] Your Whole Job Is to Make Stuff and Sell It [25:00] What Taylor Swift and the Vinyl Revival Teach Us About AI and Creators [31:00] What Should the CEO Actually Do?

It was an aggressive trade deadline for Craig Breslow and the big price he paid to get Adley Rutschman was much different from what he's done as CBO which should be considered a victory.

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:    Alicia: Hi there, thank you for your time. I would like to know what kind of cleanse you would suggest for someone who has arthritis, neuropathy and gut issues. Lots of inflammation and already gluten free. Has had a long standing relationship with pharmaceuticals due to multiple injuries and is now off prescriptions but dealing with a fragile nervous system and digestive system. Thank you.       S: Hi Dr. Cabral. Our 11 year old son still wets the bed from time to time. In fact lately, it's gotten worse. He is top of his class, a heavy reader, extremely inquisitive and very very active and talented in sports. BUT he is small for his age (15th percentile) and hyperactive at times. Any advice would be invaluable. Thanks.       Joy: Hi Dr. C, Thanks for all you do! Let's assume you have a post-menopausal family member who read the book Estrogen Matters and made the decision to go on HRT for benefits to brain, bones and symptom relief. She feels better but still has terribly disruptive sleep. She took the Stress, Mood and Metabolism Test and had values indicating high nighttime cortisol and elevated hormones except DHEA which was out of range low. She's done CBO protocol and has been on the sleep protocol for a month with limited relief. Would you suggest she get off HRT or continue HRT while incorporating something else to get to more optimal ranges or do you think it's mainly the nighttime cortisol that's causing the sleep problems? Seems like both issues may be impacting. No room here to share specific values.       Anonymous: I did tests from EquiLife and am working to reverse my PCOS symptoms. Long story short I still have high testosterone despite working at it for a few years and alleviating a lot of other symptoms. HTMA and OAT showed low vitamins and minerals even though I have been supplementing and eating well for years. So we looked at digestion and stool testing revealed an IGA of 4, low elastase, low propionate, NG for Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus, few commensal bacteria, no dysbiotic flora or yeast. I worked through the mold protocol and am now on the heavy metal. As part of my protocol, I have been doing weekly enemas. I am on month three of doing them weekly and today I passed what I believe was a mucus plug hours afterwards. Is this something to be concerned about? Can I continue enemas?       Jana: 39 female. 3 years w/ your coach I've healed my gut, finished all your protocols & testing.I continue w/ your supplements & suggestions (sauna, walking).I'm struggling with chronic fatigue & inflammation, immunodeficiency, nasal MARCONs (past exposure) & scalp psoriasis.I've had infections most of my life (strep, pneumonia, bronchitis, sinus).Doctors suggested Pepcid + Allegra 4x daily (MCAS) + LDN (hEDS).I'm trying to avoid lifelong biologics + immune therapy.Does your histamine protocol replace/support the suggested Pepcid/Allegra combo for MCAS?What recommendation for rebuilding my immune system?15 of 22 pneumococcal titers are nonprotective despite 3 PPV23 vaccines. I take Histpro + Vit C & Inflamma Soothe + others. Increase dosage? Need guidance on supplementation & what else to try.        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/3830 - - - 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?

Now they've spun out Marlbank Digital (website coming soon), a Meta-only agency built for the brands Pilothouse moved past as it went upmarket: pre-launch up to $100K/month.Want them in your ad account? Email nate@marlbank.co or liam@marlbank.co. No website yet. They've been busy in client accounts.If you're a founder running your own Meta ads, or the one marketer at a brand doing under $100K a month, this episode is a working session on why your account structure is probably answering the wrong question.What's inside:The Meta hierarchy of needs: unit economics at the base ("you'd be surprised how many people need a 3.5 ROAS to barely break even"), marketing strategy in the middle, creative at the top. Most brands skip the middle.Circumstance testing, their replacement for jumping straight to creative: articulate your product's real distinction, find the cultural currents it's relevant to, then map the specific moments it fits into someone's life. Each moment becomes a campaign.A full anonymized case study: the ceramic to-go cup brand that couldn't scale on pretty product shots or the eco angle, and unlocked the account with one question: "Would you use a metal mug at home?" Selling an upgrade to existing to-go cup users beat converting the single-use crowd, and the commute became the winning niche.What this looks like in the account: open audiences, existing customers excluded, CBO single ad set, 4 to 6 ads per set, creative held constant so circumstance is the variable.Why one ad usually takes 80% of an ad set's spend, and how to structure launches around that.The four foundations they ask for before a brand spends a dollar: a decent website, email flows, some social presence, and Meta.Plus the origin story: the agency is named after the small Ontario town where they spent a summer hand-building tree stands for a bow-hunting brand.Who this is for: ecom founders and marketers between pre-launch and $100K/month, and anyone whose Meta account is a graveyard of creative tests that never compounded.What to steal: before your next creative batch, write down your product's distinctions, then list every circumstance where it slots into a customer's day. Test those against each other first.Work with Liam and Nate: nate@marlbank.co / liam@marlbank.co | marlbank.coTimestamps:00:00 Why Meta Marketing Has Changed02:01 The Story Behind Marlbank Digital08:14 Why Foundational Marketing Beats Meta Tactics13:15 The Ceramic Cup Case Study20:10 How to Structure Circumstance Testing on MetaSubscribe to DTC Newsletter - https://dtcnews.link/signupAdvertise on DTC - https://dtcnews.link/advertiseWork with Pilothouse - https://www.pilothouse.co/?utm_source=AKNF633Follow us on Instagram & Twitter - @dtcnewsletterWatch this interview on YouTube - https://dtcnews.link/video

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…   Becca: Hi Dr. Cabral! My husband is challenged by a "cobalt conundrum". Several years back he was overexposed to wet cement, spending hours mixing it with his hands. (Big mistake) Shortly after he developed a severe body rash along with painful cramps and diarrhea. After many tests, they found an allergy to cobalt via a skin test, and we assume it relates to the cement mixing incident. Severely limiting cobalt both topically and in diet has helped, but he still struggles with GI issues. Functional medicine tests showed leaky gut. He attempted treatment but even one basic supplement (dairy free igg) caused severe stomach issues. Meanwhile he's missing vital nutrients from avoiding b12 (cobalt) etc. How can he address leaky gut and allergies when he's so sensitive to treatments? Signed, Your Fan       Ally: Hi Dr. Cabral, I am a new Level 2 graduate and I have a new client who is 20-years old with a history of anorexia. she is 5-years post treatment. She complains of bloating, constipation, and just having trouble eating. She is of normal weight, and is looking for relief. I was thinking of doing the Big 3 labs and the CBO protocol.. Any recommendations would be very appreciated. I do not want to recommend the wrong plan of care for her. Warmest regards, Ally :)      Tommy: Hey Dr. C, I'm an IHP, 36. Had a birth defect, 3 operations by the age of 8 including tonsillectomy. Sleep issues began at 9, insomnia by 12, eczema, fainting, 14 years of steroid creams and thousands of antibiotics. I've got high heavy metals and Citrabacter freundi. I can't tolerate any protocols even at a lower dose, they make my existing problems worse. On days where I train intensely I struggle to shut off. I feel like my body is always stuck in a low level of stress. I've cut down my training a lot but I'm not sure what else I can do. I'm tolerating zinc Carnosine which helps but I still always have red skin on my face. Still struggle to tolerate stress. If only I could do a heavy metal protocol.       Sarah: Hi! Hope you are well and love tuning in daily to learn from you! I have been trying to heal leaky gut and chronic hives for over a decade now. Because I am very reactive I stop and start a lot. However, I recently gave in and started a low dose prednisone and over a couple weeks lost 10lbs of inflammation, hives gone, that I couldn't break with any diet (restriction), exercise etc. I would like to do some testing and do the CBO protocol as this started after antibiotics. My question is, will this skew the results of cortisol/A1C and will it be okay to continue on to keep symptoms calm while getting to the root and going through some protocols? Thanks! (BTW) I have tried all the natural stabilizers and didn't help calm symptoms. (Quercetin, Vit C, Mag, etc)       Sienna: Hi Dr. Cabral, this is a follow up to my question on 3782 re testing for perimenopause please. Thank you for your guidance and if I could run EL labs I would. I have NO access to Saliva Testing in my country (and EL don't ship here). So I know about SMM & Fertility Labs but can't run them so I am *specifically* asking IF estrogen & progesterone tested by an endocrinologist (BLOOD) have ANY value as a way to look at levels? LH, FSH & AMH are great as I can get these from bloods, can you please provide the healthy ranges vs. perimenopause? Would really appreciate it as this is the only option I have to look deeper & PCP here don't have a functional approach so really value your guidance on anything you can share to help me support my body.

We asked 28 marketers what single change in their ad account made the biggest difference — and nobody put creative at the top. What came back instead was account structure, cost caps, better data, and one answer that stopped us cold: doing nothing at all. This episode breaks down the nine cognitive biases quietly running the average media buyer's decisions, from action bias to the expert's curse. We get into why excluding past purchasers dropped one brand's new customer CPA by 40% overnight, why "data-driven" has become a red flag on a resume, and why the last 20% of Meta optimization is worth less than the first 20% of your landing page. If you manage ad accounts, hire people who do, or spend your Sundays reorganizing campaigns you shouldn't be touching, this one's for you. ⚡ IN THIS EPISODE → Why excluding past purchasers dropped NCPA by 40% instantly → The two years an account crushed because nobody touched it → Why 85% optimized and understandable beats 100% optimized and muddy → "Data aware, human obsessed" — the hiring filter that should replace "data-driven" → Why measuring by product collection, not by ad, makes diagnosis ten times faster → The case for ignoring your weaknesses entirely and doubling down on strengths ⏱ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 The no-phone morning walk that fixed our brains 01:20 The Twitter question that broke everyone's assumptions 02:30 A 40% drop in new customer CPA from one mechanical exclusion 03:45 What 28 marketers actually said — and why creative never made the list 05:50 Action bias: why you can't stop touching the account 06:45 "I haven't touched it in three weeks. Why would I?" 08:45 Illusion of control, and whether we should just let Meta cook 11:15 Complexity bias: one CBO campaign, one ad set, two record years 14:30 Metric fixation and the streetlight effect 18:20 Why "data-driven marketer" is a red flag on a resume 21:20 Managing by collection instead of by ad 23:00 The ad account is now a glorified folder system 24:30 Expert's curse: why 70 failed video ads should have been a signal 28:35 There's 100% more to gain outside the ad account than inside it 30:50 The self-serving spotlight — nobody wins an account alone 33:20 "Greed will kill your business faster than anything"

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…   Shannon: I am curious what your take on headaches that stem in your neck and the base of the skull called cervicogenic headaches. What's the root cause of that type of muscle tension headache? I've struggled with them for a couple years now. I'm working with a practitioner and have tested for candida and am on the CBO protocol currently. We're getting ready to test for hormone imbalances next week but I'm fairly sure I have Imbalances. I have heavy cycles and low iron as well with the headaches being mainly the first weekish of the cycle.       Jason: Hello Dr. Cabral, I've dealt with tonsil stones and hemmrhoids for quite some time. I know I have sibo, dysbiosis, and some yeast/fungal overgrowth. Working on those as well. Wondering if you can explain why these are happening and what I can do for them apart from the CBO. Thanks!      Emily: My MIL has high levels of Lipoprotien(a) 232. Her LDL levels are in a good range. She is currenly taking the statin Crestor which is hydrophilic. The RYR is a more natural form but seems to be a lipophilic statin. Her worry is that lipophilic statins crosses the blood brain barrier. Could you please explain this and if this should be of great concern? Would it be better for someone to take a hydrophilic statin vs RYR?       Dana: Asked this on the Facebook page and was advised to ask here. My husband and I are currently doing CBO protocol. Before starting that my husband started getting unusually exhausted after moderate exercise, 50 years old and has always been active, no known health issues. Moderate activity now wipes him out for the rest of the day, this is unusual for him. Recently went to PCP who did blood work and found ALP levels over 450, tested again to rule out lab error and it was about 10 points higher. Has had heart ultrasound and stress test, both normal. Will be getting abdominal ultrasound next week to check liver, etc. If ok, probably bones next. Wondering if CBO protocol dieoff could contribute to high ALP? Live in a country where we can't do mail lab testing. Advice on what else to check for?      Brent: Hi Dr. Cabral, I ran labs years ago and was recommended the cbo with C drops and finisher. Labs showed no parasites at that time. During the cbo i started to see some progress in my digestion and other areas but once I started month 3 I started to notice acid reflux symptoms like a swollen throat and shortness of breath that worsened at night. (symptoms I've had for many years that returned). I thought it was because of changes to my gut microbiome and continued on to the cbo finisher and the problems only got worse to the point that I had to stop the protocols. I can only assume that somewhere along the line due to stress or poor food combining or not eating strict enough that I ended up causing sibo while trying to fix it. Can't think of any other reasons for my situation. Plz help ty.     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/3803 - - - 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?

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 Dr. Cabral, Have you any recommendations on minimally-invasive skin tightening procedures (after natural weight loss for skin that does not want to retract), such as Airsculpt with Renuvion/Plasma J? It's very expensive, but intriguing, if it works. Mostly concerned about how well it works and the long term effects of Renuvion/Plasma J and dangers it warnings associated. Thank you!       Tricia: Hi Dr. Cabral – Hope you are well! I have a bit of an embarrassing topic that I need your help with. I'm 56-year-old female & the last few months I would find myself in a deep sleep dreaming and then jump up as I'm starting to wet the bed. Lately it has gotten more frequent since I've been taking progesterone and melatonin supplements. I'm sleeping great but I can't have this issue keep happening. I am about 50lbs overweight trying to heal my insulin resistance. I always get up at least twice to use the bathroom in general. I figure the doctor would give me pills so I haven't gone. I realize something in my brain is not switching on to tell me to wake up. Do you have any suggestions or guidance? I do stop drinking liquid 2 hours prior to sleep. Thank you!      Al: Dr Cabral, I have a question about white nail spots. They tend to appear only whenever I start taking zinc supplements. I've tried picolinate or glycinate (15mg). Even when I take extra zinc short term, for about two weeks 30mg while having viral infection, a spot or two appear. Isn't it suppose to be the opposite? The only zinc that doesn't cause it are those "food-based" supplements. I also take D, Ca (from algae),and now food based multi from fermented quinoa. Even without the multi, according to cronometr I hit everything over 150% except Ca & D. I have smoothie with goat whey for breakfast, vegetarian lunch with lot of beans, paleo style dinner with rice, plus fruits & creatine pre-workout. I am a 44 years old male, about 10 percent bodyfat, athletic looking vata body type     Jennifer: Can you give me any insight on cycle problems that I have been having for almost 2 years now. They don't align with the typical timeline of PMS symptoms that everyone talks about. I have minor physical symptoms that I can handle but most importantly I have bad emotional disregulation from about days 3-8 to 12 depending on the month. I'm extremely, anxious, depressed, and get mad at everyone around me. I know this happens but when I'm in it there's nothing I can do to bring myself out until the days pass. It's really starting to take a tole on my relationships, especially my marriage. I plan to do stress mood and metabolism test but should I still do it on 19-21 days since I'm pretty stable then? Also, I'm currently doing CBO and will do the finisher, should I wait til after I finish?     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/3789 - - - 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?

For many people, the FDA-approved drug class called GLP-1s has been a game changer for managing type 2 diabetes and weight loss. An estimated one in eight US adults is using this type of drug, which mimics a natural gut hormone to regulate blood sugar, slow stomach emptying, and suppress appetite. Researchers and the public have been scrutinizing the pros and cons of taking these drugs for many years. One critical question that remains is does the use of GLP-1s translate into lower medical expenses for consumers, healthcare providers, insurance companies, and the government? Today, we're speaking with Duke University health economist Jonathan Zhang on the answer to these questions from his multi-year study of veterans who use GLP-1s. The results are surprising. Interview Summary Jonathan, first, let's talk broadly. Would you briefly describe the kinds of health benefits people are experiencing with GLP-1s, particularly in terms of changes in behavior and overall health? Yes. So GLP-1s are medications that manage body weight and improve metabolic health. The primary health benefits are via better blood sugar regulation and weight loss via reducing appetite. But there's larger health benefits that are much broader. So, trials have also shown that they lower blood pressure, reduce strokes and heart attacks, among other cardiovascular benefits. Overall also improves, so things like obstructive sleep apnea, improvements in inflammation-related measures. And recently it was FDA approved to treat MASH, which is a form of fatty liver disease. Finally, people also report feeling less hungry. They get full faster, fewer cravings, and reduction in what is often called food noise, which can potentially help people make a range of better behavior decisions and changes relating to food and perhaps even beyond food. However, the evidence on that seems to be promising, but new and less strong. Thank you for sharing those. I know a lot of our listeners have heard some of those issues and some of those points about how GLP-1s could change the way we behave, and some of the health outcomes. So, let's dig into your particular study. In your working paper for the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) you and your co-authors describe a natural experiment involving patients and doctors in the Department of Veteran Affairs, and their access to and use of GLP-1s. Would you lay out the general parameters of your study for our listeners? Yes, absolutely. So, like many medications, what we know about GLP-1s primarily comes from randomized controlled trials, which have small sample sizes and often select for quite sick patients. As GLP-1s reach a broader population, the population becomes less pro-comparable to those in trials, so the real-world impacts become less obvious. Moreover, there are some outcomes such as healthcare utilization or spending costs that are incredibly important for policy but not directly studied in trials. We were interested in studying in a very large healthcare system, that is the VA, the Veterans Health Administration, the real-world impacts of GLP-1s using readily collected data from the healthcare system and a quasi-experiment. So that is we try to emulate a real experiment where some patients get GLP-1s from their primary care doctor and others do not. And the reason one patient might get it while the other doesn't is because their doctors differ in their likelihood or propensity to prescribe these drugs. And we focus on the Veterans Health Administration, the VHA, because the veteran population is quite diverse, at least in terms of comorbidities relative to the trials per se and also in age, say, compared to Medicare. And GLP-1s are provided in the VA to eligible patients at a pretty affordable cost. So, sort of a nice policy playground for us to think about what outcomes might look like when GLP-1s become readily available and affordable to all Americans. Great. Thank you for sharing that because now we have a good sense of the quasi experiment that you all were able to exploit. That there were providers who had a high tendency to prescribe GLP-1s versus those who didn't. And looking at that difference, you were able to see how GLP-1s may have affected the outcomes that you were interested in. So now tell us a bit about the findings, and I think there's some surprising results here. So, first we replicate many of the findings from the randomized trials for this diverse, veteran population. We see reductions in body weight, we see hemoglobin A1C blood glucose levels improve and blood pressure improvements as well. Even a reduction in heart attacks and strokes for patients with existing cardiovascular conditions, and even a small reduction in moderate drinking risk as well. The trial evidence seems to hold up in this large and diverse population of we have 1.4 million patients that we're studying. Second, despite these improvements though, we do not see a reduction in healthcare spending. This is actually excluding the cost of the medication, the GLP-1. It's not because GLP-1s are expensive. We're taking that out of the equation. Over four years, this is how long we're able to track these patients for, we're able to rule out reductions of more than 7% in healthcare spending. And we see no reductions in whether that's outpatient clinic or in inpatient hospitalization. We also don't see any reductions in emergency department visits more generally, despite seeing a reduction in heart attack and strokes for those patients with existing cardiovascular condition. Jonathan, that sounds great, but it's a little hard to understand. So why is it that you're seeing no real changes in the consumer healthcare spending? What's going on? Yes, we were a little surprised as well. We think there could be a myriad of potential reasons. But first, I want to note that there's also at least three other studies that use real-world data to look at a similar question, and all the studies find no statistically significant spending reductions. And in fact, all of us, we all find a slight positive increase. I think the first explanation is that while heart attacks and strokes are very expensive and obviously, very serious events, they are still thankfully quite rare and thus are not very common in our three to five-year period in which these studies are looking at. But perhaps over ten or twenty years, you could start seeing some healthcare spending materialize. I think that's totally possible. Most cost projection models, whether that's from the CBO or other organizations, they project healthcare spending reductions to accumulate over time. But these models also project immediate spending reduction, which is not yet supported by the data. Another potential explanation is what I would call these behavioral responses. So, you can imagine that a patient sees some improvement in their health, and that changes their expectation of, "Oh, wow, I could actually make some changes to my health." And they actually go and get some more care. This can also be driven by the physician as well. So, sort of, "Look, things are working. This patient's seeing improvements. Maybe we should treat some of your other health problems and issues." This is what I would call sort of a behavioral response. A third explanation could be that some of these patients have conditions that have progressed to be irreversible even with metabolic health gains. So, for example, late-stage kidney disease would be a good example. We find some suggestive evidence that this might be happening in our study. In other words, for these patients where they have some potentially irreversible health conditions, the metabolic health improvements - that's not a primary reason for their healthcare spending. This is helpful. That explains why we're seeing some of these challenges with healthcare spending. And I appreciate your point of taking a longer view may actually reveal some differences. And also, the responses of doctors and patients to the benefits that they gain and how that might expand opportunities for healthcare. So, thank you for sharing that. I want to shift focus a little bit. And it is taking a step beyond the paper, but I think it's a natural extension of the work. As you know, I'm an agricultural economist, and I've been interested in obviously food policy issues. And the fact that we're seeing weight loss, the fact that we're seeing better management of A1C suggests that there's something probably happening with food consumption and food patterns. I'd be interested to learn from you if you have any ideas about what this work suggests about the impact of GLP-1s on consumer food choices. Yes, I think there's a fair amount of both trial and real-world grocery purchase evidence that GLP-1s are impacting consumer food choices. In the randomized trials, GLP-1s reduce, calories consumed, reduce the desire to eat sweet, salty, and savory foods and high fat fast foods in their meals. For example, these trials will look at what people eat for lunch. In real world data, there's a study out of Denmark that found that after patients' first GLP-1 prescription, their grocery store purchases went on to have fewer calories, sugars, saturated fats, carbohydrates, and more protein over the one-year period after they initiate GLP-1s. The share of ultra-processed foods also decreased. The effects were actually quite modest, so there was only about a one percent reduction in calories and a four percent reduction in sugar and a five percent increase in protein in the year after versus the year before in this Danish study. In the US, there's a similar study using kind of this transactional level data as well. And they find that households after they start GLP-1s also reduce caloric intake, fast food consumption, caloric dense processed foods. And there it's a little larger in the US by about five to ten percent. Then the question is, you know, are they shifting towards healthier foods or is it sort of a uniform reduction in calories across all different food classes? And there the evidence is a little less strong. There's some evidence that consumers are shifting towards healthier foods, but if that is the case, the shift is quite small. In both the Danish and the US study, it's roughly looking like a level shift for all different categories. And this is also in terms of not food so much anymore, but there's also been studies looking at alcohol consumption, which has been very interesting and promising. There's a phase two study pilot trial with only forty-eight participants, but the randomized control trial found that among patients with existing alcohol use disorder GLP-1s led to a reduction in the average number of drinks per day. No change in the number of days drinking, but conditional on drinking, the average number of drinks per day declines in the treatment group that get GLP-1s. And then for out of the 48 patients that are also smokers, there's also a reduction in smoking as well in that population. So, very promising early evidence there as well. Jonathan, this is critical information, and I know some colleagues in the Ag econ profession, folks like Brian Roe, Tim Richards and Glenn Townsend have also worked in this space, and some of the work is showing some issues around the quality of protein or overall food spend is going down. And the choices or the responsiveness of people to prices when it comes to proteins. There's some evidence, some causal evidence to suggest GLP-1s are changing the way people are even looking at food markets. And so that raises a really important issue. If consumers are changing when they're exposed to GLP-1s, I have got to imagine that the food industry, grocery stores, food manufacturers, restaurants are making some adjustments. What have you to say on that particular point? So, we're both economists, right? We both, of course, believe that producers and grocery stores are adjusting to demand. We do know a lot less about how the supply side is adjusting compared to the demand, and that's because there's just less data and fewer studies on patients. There's more data and more studies on patients and consumers than on grocery stores and restaurants. I've seen a lot of anecdotal evidence, often reported in the mainstream media or reports from various market research agencies that GLP-1s are having this large impact on the food industry. I've seen claims like GLP-1s are hurting Walmart sales or why are beer company sales down, like AB InBev, and range into things like why restaurants are reducing their portions or recently I actually also saw over the past couple weekends claims of why Coachella portions are smaller because everyone's on GLP-1s. So, the best estimates from last year are that one in eight Americans are using GLP-1s. And if each of these users are cutting back in consumption by 5% to 10%, as in those studies, it's totally plausible this leads to a large population reduction that the food industry just cannot ignore, right? I think it's important to note a couple things. First is that the long-term adherence of GLP-1s is generally quite low, with more than 50% discontinuing within a year in most of the studies I've seen in the US. And after discontinuation, most of these patients will gain back a large fraction of their weight. And in that US groceries transactional study I told you about, they find that after discontinuation, purchases at fast food, grocery, restaurants, et cetera, they go up beyond baseline, in fact. So, beyond six months prior to when they were on GLP-1s. It's still an open question to whether these 5% to 10% individual consumption reductions will become long-term and manifest in the population level, especially if adherence is not very high. Second is that up until very recently, there's been a very strong demographic and socioeconomic profile of these GLP-1 users, right? So, they tend to skew near elderly and also a little bit more female, and generally fall in the middle- or higher-income brackets because previously Medicaid, for example, did not cover GLP-1s, right? Until earlier this year. And it still does not cover it for many states. So, any food industry changes will likely be concentrated in the restaurants and the food chains that sort of have these consumer demographic and economic base. That's something to keep in mind. Certainly, there are examples like, you know, Smoothie King has introduced a GLP-1 smoothie. But even in these clear-cut cases where the producer is clearly trying to appeal to this demand shock, it's still very difficult to disentangle the producer's stated intent from general industry market trends, right? So, general trends like rising cost of living. There's been more demand for protein. You can see protein in everything now, right? Even water. Rise in sort of small plates or family-style tapas at restaurants. Feels like every restaurant's doing this now. Or for example, a decline in alcohol consumption or interest in alcohol consumption, especially among young people around the world. I think some of this is certainly happening. Producers are listening, but it's hard to disentangle the general trends from a specific GLP-1 impact. I'm grateful for you taking some of the hype out of this and thinking through carefully what the economic implications are of this change and recognizing that there's some real important context that people don't stay on these drugs for long. Or there are certain types of folks who are more likely to use them, and therefore we can't assume that there's this massive wave of change that's going to happen, but that there are some responses. These are important ways of framing this discussion. I have one final question. Based on what you're seeing now with the use of GLP-1s and considering their use over time, what would you say is the key takeaway for policymakers? I think there are a few takeaways. Most importantly, I think policy makers should think about the rapid change in profile of patients who are using this drug. Just because it's beneficial for sick patients doesn't necessarily mean it's going to be equally as beneficial for patients who are less sick. One of the findings in our paper is that as the veteran population that starts to initiate GLP-1s in the more recent years, these patients actually are healthier, so their treatment effects are not quite as strong as those who were initiated in the very early period who in our setting were among the sicker veterans. Policy makers shouldn't extrapolate the potential benefits to a broader population since there's so much demand for this drug, right? This also means that some of the downstream improvements like cost savings or even improved labor outcomes like absenteeism or being able to return to work, while these things might seem logical, it's not fair to assume that it's going to be automatic, especially at a population level. Related to that last point, we should encourage additional research on important socioeconomic outcome that might completely change the calculus of the cost benefit of these drugs, right? So, labor force participation, earnings, use of government transfer programs like disability insurance, even some interesting patterns of household formation and fertility. These are all fascinating and important questions. However, it is imperative to note that GLP-1s already have incredible health benefits for many people. While it's possible that these benefits might spill over to broader societal benefits, these benefits should not be presumed. And at the same time, we shouldn't be holding GLP-1s to a higher standard, say, to reduce healthcare spending or increase earnings just because we know that it does a bunch of wonderful things for a range of conditions. So, maybe it does this and this as well, and suddenly we're less excited if there's no evidence of that and that, right? These things have incredible health benefits. Let's appreciate them for that, and we shouldn't be holding them up to a higher standard just because it appears to do so many wonderful things.

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…   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!   Kim: What would cause my son to cough hard for hours after eating? He has done this for a year. He is 28 and said he is to the point where he just does not want to eat. Should he do the CBO protocol?      Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral, I came across your podcast a few months ago and have been listening daily to catch up on past episodes for general health education. Thank you for the valuable information you share. I would appreciate your guidance on diet and lifestyle for the following situation. My partner, a 31-year-old male, recently had an eGFR test done, and his result increased from 70 to 77. His father passed away in his 40s due to kidney failure, so this is a concern for us. We live in the Caribbean, where it is humid year-round. He strength trains 3–4 times per week and plays basketball once weekly, but I'm unsure if his cardio levels are sufficient for long-term kidney and overall health.       Christine: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thank you so much for everything you do! Your IHP program and your podcast have been life changing for me. I have a question about creatine. I've noticed when I take it, my appetite completely plummets and food does not even taste good. And when I cut out creatine, the appetite comes back within a day. I take around 1g for reference, and I'm 5'1 and 115 lbs if that needs to be taken into consideration. What could be the possible reasons for this? Thank you! Christine       Tricia: Good morning, Dr Cabral - hope you are well! I take many of your supplements with some being from the longevity line. I'm wondering if it is okay to take these ongoing for years or should we take a few weeks break from time to time? Are they as effective when used long term? The supplements I'm taking are your renewal system, eye health, hair supplements. Thank you for your guidance!      Matt: Hi Dr Cabral, I'm a healthy 45yo, strength train 3x per and 2 days of jiujitsu. I had my first ever episode of AFIB and it occurred about 5 min after taking a growth hormone peptide Tesamorelin. I went to the ER the next day and came out of it on my own within 14 hours of when it started and haven't had an episode since. They ran all kinds of blood work, EKG, CT w contrast for blood clots and all came up clear. They seemed to think it was from excessive caffeine use (300-500mg daily) and bad sleep but weren't really sure on the peptide as there's not enough research. Seems to me that's what triggered it. I stopped caffeine&peptides immediately and have really been trying to dial in my sleep for the past two weeks. Could this be a one off thing or am I more likely to have it happen again?     - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3775 - - - 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:    Amy: Hi Dr. Cabral. Thank you for all you do every day! I have learned so much from you and really appreciate your help. My children's school right next to a cell tower (it sits in the middle of their playground). Is there anything I can do to protect them from the high levels of radiation they are getting on a daily basis? I have looked into wearable EMF protection but am not sure if any actually work. Do you have a recommendation? Is there anything I can be doing to help my children's bodies prepare for these high levels on a daily basis?      Kelly: Love your podcast and your willingness of your time to help all of us! I did a 21 day detox in Nov then did an OATS test, had a lot of overgrowth & started CBO protocol Jan. 27. From the beginning, I started struggling with anxiety & insomnia. Middle of month 2 had to stop protocol due to waking up 2-4 am in panic and not able to get back to sleep. My sleep came back on line & I started protocol again very slowly, had to stop florafilm but continued with other 2. It wasn't long before the insomnia and anxiety started again. Eventually had to stop again. Have been off protocol 19 days but no improvement in insomnia & anxiety. At a loss of what to try next -even tried sleeping pills. Also no idea how i will ever feel comfy enough to restart cbo protocol after all this. Help pls!!        Nibal: Goodmorning Dr, Im nibal from.lebanon and its a pleasure to follow you. I need to know more about fighting candida protocol if thats possible please. Thank you, With regards       Mohamed: Hey dr.cabral, been listening to your podcast for a few years now. Thanks for all your quality info and product at Equilife. I work in healthcare, I constantly have to use hand sanitizer. I'm sure it's not just alcohol in there. What can I do to mitigate this. Really health conscious, I take DNS, Omega 3 support, Vit D3/K2. Extra Vit C.. I also occasionally use taurine. Is there a healthy alternative? For hand sanitizer or is there a cream I can use on my hands to blunt the absorption. What are your thoughts? Thanks       Mary: Hi SC! Ive been a daily listener for years. Thank you for your sinceriety and the education you share. 1) Whats your opinion on plasma pen treatments and sofwave treatments for collogen production (specifically jowels and 'turkey neck')? A while back you answered a question regarding collogen treatments and said you were ok w most but there was one that involved a heat based treatment you were not a fan of...i couldnt catch which one that was. 2) Will you please explain what happens when we put plastic in the dishwasher? I know we are not supposed to and i'm curious what happens. Do microplastics contaminate other dishes in the dishwasher or what happens?  oh also, any thoughts on procell therapy?       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/3767 - - - 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?

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: Hi Dr Cabral, you are just such an amazing soul! Keep doing gods great work! I'm writing in to ask about my personal situation, I am 34, I had a throat cancer back in 2019, underwent radiation and surgery. Since then I had 2 babies, and came down with autoimmune symptoms this last year 2025. Since then I dove into healing myself, finished a gut program, did "big 5" labs, just did a 3 month mold detox. I am a year out and my food sensitivities are gone, brain fog gone, gut healed. But what is remaining is rosacea still, and I just did a teeth cleaning and we are still seeing inflamed gums. I am working with a practitioner and we know I have some viruses to tackle next and boost my immune system. At this point is there anything more you would add, to help me get rid of remaining rosecea?      Ashley: Hi Dr. Cabral! I installed the hydrogen water device you recommended in my home last summer. My family loves it, however whenever I personally drink the water I get SEVERELY constipated. I have run 4 tests now over the last 6 months and every time I reintroduce the water (even at a low pH and titrating up as advised by your team) the constipation returns. Ironically the very first week I tried the water I was having 3-4 BMs a day before the constipation trend began. Do you have any ideas what could be going on? I'm an IHP-L2 and have consulted your team and the support groups, but everyone seems perplexed... hence my outreach to you directly on this one. Note I did the CBO protocol 2x last yr for recurring gut infections before uncovering I have mold toxicity & am now on this protocol.      Brett: Hi Dr. Cabral—I'm seeking guidance on refractory hypercoagulability. I've had 77 DVTs and 33 pulmonary emboli, and was diagnosed with antiphospholipid syndrome two years ago. Despite therapeutic anticoagulation with daily Arixtra (fondaparinux), I continue to develop thrombotic events. Are there evidence-informed adjunct strategies (e.g., anti-inflammatory protocols, micronutrient optimization, endothelial support, or additional labs) that may help reduce clot recurrence alongside standard care? I remain under physician management but am exploring complementary approaches to improve outcomes. Thank you.       Kay: Dear Dr. Cabral- Thank you so much for the work you are doing and all your super informative podcasts. I took the Minerals & Metals test end of 2024 which showed high mercury and aluminum so in November of 2025 I had all 4 of my mercury amalgams removed by a biological dentist who is SMART certified. After removal, I did my Heavy Metal Detox for 8 weeks. I then retested at the beginning of April and just received my test results and was dismayed to see Mercury levels exactly the same and the aluminum slightly higher, even. Several other minerals were off balance as well. My question to you is how long would it take to detox from amalgam removals and should I do another heavy metal detox? Or did I retest too early? Appreciate your help, Kay       Kay: Hi Dr Cabral, Recently I had conventional bloodwork labs done and repeated (Mar 31st, April 3rd) testing high in magnesium levels (2.4 mg/dL and 2.5 mg/dL, respectively) and experienced symptoms of palpitations at night. My functional medicine Dr told me to stop taking any supplements/nutritional beverages containing Mg (i.e. CALM Mg powder) which I did. Even more of a surprise was when I received my recent Minerals & Metals test back, done around the same time as my blood tests, showing that I had an elevated Ca/Mg ratio (7.9) indicating relative Mg deficiency and elevated Na/Mg ratio (5.3) also indicating a relative Mg deficiency. How could both of these labs be true? Could stress play a factor? I recently moved and am caring for parents, 1 who has been Dx'd w/cancer.     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/3761 - - - 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?

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…   Jacquie: My 65-year-old mom was diagnosed with osteoporosis via DEXA (spine -2, hip -3). She's had a hip replacement & later suffered a fall that fractured her femur near the implant. Listened to your other podcasts & I wonder are there cases where the body can't rebuild bone without conventional intervention? Is there research on this? Her doctor recommended injections, saying vitamins alone won't restore bone to the needed level—how valid is that? She does quarterly detoxes & takes DNS, omega3s, vitamin D/K2 drops, & CalMag. She plans to add Daily Bone Support, reduce inflammatory foods & alcohol & increase weight-bearing exercise as able. Testing suggests she follow a limited CBO protocol. Not giving medical advice, what would you do/look into if this was your family member? Thank you!      Lynne: I don't see eggs on the food list. Is it ok to eat eggs after the detox? If so, how often. I can get fresh eggs from a local farm and I love them.      Drew: Dr Cabral, I heard on another podcast (Rhonda Patrick) there was a research study that showed high speed blenders like Blentech and Vitamix can expose you to microplastic due to ingredients hitting the side of the plastic container. this is increased if using frozen ingredients such as blueberries or ice. i have been making a smoothie for breakfast for almost ten years. i would love to get your take on this. if this is true? should my highspeed blender be replaced (Blentech does not have a Stainless steel or glass container option). should someone who may have been exposed take any extra steps to detox? thank you so much     Lisa: I seen your post on berberine and was wondering when is the best time of day to take it? Should I take it with every meal or just once a day? Should I take it before eating or after? You said it can help with fat burning even while sleeping so should I take before bed? Should I avoid taking it with my pre workout meal? Thank you in advance Lisa      Jill: Hello, thank you for your informative and educational emails. Looking for the best applications of using Proteolytic Enzymes vs. Niacin for lowering cholesterol and triglycerides and increasing HDL if calcium score is zero. What would the recommended doses be of each?    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/3754 - - - 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?

A group of 32 congressional Democrats is calling for the Federal Aviation Administration to help hold Immigration and Customs Enforcement accountable following reports that the Department of Homeland Security unit is withholding aviation data. While deportation flights significantly increased last year, data about the air operations is difficult to find, according to the House members' letter to FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford. The representatives are asking for a detailed report about ICE's use of the Limiting Aircraft Data Displayed (LADD) program and whether the FAA is aware of additional data-suppression methods contributing to the decreased transparency. The program “was established to enable private aircraft owners and operators of non-commercial flights to filter their flight data from public display websites,” the coalition said in the letter sent Monday. “ICE's use of this program to obscure routine government operations and suppress information about deportation flights is out of the scope of this program, and therefore inappropriate and dangerous.” The price tag for the Golden Dome for America could reach $1.2 trillion to develop, deploy and operate over 20 years, according to a new report published Tuesday by the Congressional Budget Office. The updated cost estimate is based on a “notional” missile defense architecture that broadly includes capabilities outlined in President Donald Trump's 2025 executive order calling for Golden Dome's development. CBO's projections are significantly larger than the $185 billion already budgeted for the project — with space-based interceptors (SBIs) accounting for over half of the office's estimate. “Of the $1.2 trillion amount, acquisition costs for the notional [national missile defense] system would total just over $1 trillion,” the report stated. “The most expensive component is the space-based interceptor layer, which accounts for about 70 percent of acquisition costs and 60 percent of total costs.” The Daily Scoop Podcast is available every Monday-Friday afternoon.

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:    Bettina: Hello Dr. Cabral, I would like your opinion on an EFSA warning about three supplements: Ashwagandha Intenso, Brain Life, and Curcumin C3 Complex. EFSA reports that ashwagandha may affect the immune system and thyroid function, while curcumin may impact the liver, the GI system, and, during pregnancy, contribute to lower birth weight. EFSA sets the maximum daily intake of curcumin at 210 mg for a 70‑kg adult. Brain Life contains 600 mg, and Curcumin C3 Complex contains 1000 mg, which both exceed this limit. I would appreciate your assessment of the safety of these dosages.      Justin: Hello Dr. Stephen Cabral. I just want to start off and say I think you are the most genuine and honest person people can follow right now and I love what you do. I'm about to start the 21 day detox and then plan on moving to the CBO protocol. I'm an ectomorph body type and I work out 3-4 days a week. I know in previous podcasts you have said that my body type needs lots of carbs and protein before and after a heavy lifting workout. I want to continue to try and get some workouts in during this time to keep up my strength and was wondering what you recommend since the meals are separated by 3.5 hours. I know not to workout during the shake fast days and I'm only doing those on the first 2 days since I'm not trying to loose weight. Thanks!      Tricia: Hi Dr. Cabral - At different times of our lives, we all go through very stressful life events. As I've gotten older, I really don't handle stress as well. I'm 56 years old. My father is 95-years old, doing great but I see I'm doing more and more and eventually I will be doing more care giving and running between two houses. I'm preparing my cabinet with your best supplements which all have been amazing and work just like you say they do! So, thank you! I do take the Sleep Support supplement once in a while as needed. During stressful events, would you recommend your Adrenal Soothe at dinner along with full spectrum magnesium then the sleep support at bed? I know how important our sleep is and I just can't turn off my mind when life gets to be too much sometimes. Thank you!      Sienna: Hi Dr. Cabral - thanks for ALL you do! I ran an omega 3 test, apparently I came back in the top 1% lol AA/EPA ratio: 4.3:1 Omega 6:3 ratio is 4.5:1 (it says the ideal is 3.1 - 3.9) Trans Fat index: 0.18% Omega 3 index: 8.33% I did run my cholesterol markers recently: Total Cholesterol 4.8 optimal HDL 1.4 (low-opt) LDL 3.3 (mild elev) Trig: 0.62 (excellent) Ratio: 3.4 (good) Also, TSH 1.1, FT4: 16 BUT FT3 2.3.... HELP! LOW Ferritin (21) I know you explain we dont look at one marker in isolation, but if it were you what would you be looking at (min effort, max dose) I do psyllium husk daily (about 10g) and Omega-3 Support as well as the foundations (DESTRESS) Any concerns with cholesterol? 43, Active, healthy, Female :) (Cant run EL labs) x     Stephanie: Hi Dr Cabral! I was diagnosed with sjogrens and lupus this year and my dr started me on plaquenil. I am 33 years old and I do not want to be on this medication forever but with being child bearing age and looking to start a family in the next year, they require me to be on it during pregnancy. I have been following your podcast for years and use all of equilife's supplements, follow the quarterly detox, etc. I do the daily foundational protocol and the immunity supplements I use are histpro and mushroom supplement. My understanding of autoimmunity is the immune system is overactive. Are these supplements activating my immune system too much? What are your suggestions I do to help be able to put my autoimmune into remission? I deal with mostly fatigue, joint/muscle pain.

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 still bothers my gut      Angela: Hi Dr. Cabral I just completed level 2 & will be starting level 3 soon! I am 48 years old and in the beginning of perimenopause. I have healed from Addisons disease, and I was borerline having scurvy in 2018, (which I believe I did have because I cracked 3 teeth in 2017 and needed root canals). All my numbers look good now. I had 3 incidents last year where my BP was 80/48, while dealing with stress . Is there a way a can support my adrenal glands and hormones in the perimenopause phase to keep my cortisol levels optimal so nothing triggers Addisons again? I also have MTHFR and take all the foundational supplements, plus 50mg of a progesterone troche. I am not taking anything to support my adrenals right now. Also what form of vitamin C would be best for me to incorporate? Thank you      Veronia: Hi! Not every time but most times when I drink alcohol, it feels like something is coming up in my chest, causing a "growl" noise. I have moments where my mouth will water profusely. I have to run to the bathroom almost like I have to throw up but it's just saliva I'm spitting out. I gag but never throw up. This can happen just after one drink. The next day my chest and esophagus are so sore even water is uncomfortable going down. I have maybe 4 drinks a month. I still want to be able to have a drink. Is there something I can take or do prior to having a drink to help these symptoms? To add I did the Candida, Metabolic and Vitamin test. I have an overgrowth of Arabinose, value of 45. I'm in my 2nd month of the CBO protocol. I had 1 drink as my cheat meal and had symptoms:( Thank you!      Sheena: Hi Dr. C! Hope you and your team are well. Just a few clarifying questions regarding test taking. Prior to taking the Food Sensitivity test, should I eat dairy, gluten, nuts etc? I work part-time, should I take the Stress Mood test on a day that I'm working for accurate cortisol results? And lastly, will you ever offer the stool test in Canada? I tried to purchase it but wasn't able to. Looking forward to your response! Thx!    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/3705 - - - 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?
