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:    Leah: Hi, I was wondering if you know about how to deal with constipation and stuck poop due to tortuous colon. Thank you!                                                                                                                                                                                 Bettina: Dear Dr. Cabral, I'm reaching out regarding my husband, who is 47 years old and experiencing a range of symptoms that we're hoping to better understand. He has sensitive gums that are gradually receding, and he produces an excessive amount of earwax. He blows his nose daily and often feels tightness and tension in his neck, throat, and upper body. He is gluten intolerant and also reacts to milk sugar and lactose. Additionally, he frequently struggles to fall asleep. While these symptoms may not be directly related, I'd greatly appreciate your insight into any potential underlying connections or contributing factors and ideas to what my husband can do to change this. Thank you very much for your time and expertise.                                                                                                                                                                        Ellen: I have a question about high serum vitamin B12 levels. The normal range on the lab is 232 - 946. I am more than double the high end of the range at 1945. I take a daily multivitamin with with 400 mcg of B12, and take no other B12 supplement. Why is my number so high?                                                                                           Diana: Hi Dr. Cabral, My liver is stressed. Found out I have fatty liver in May, but am already doing everything I should to help reverse it. I'm wondering what you would do in my situation. For background, I have Ehlers Danlos & ME/CFS for 30 years (I'm 42). Have horrible PEM (can't walk for 5 mins, have to carefully plan all exertion), so can't exercise. Hypometabolic & blood glucose constantly elevated & spikes with exertion (walking to my kitchen, etc.), but eat healthy & no spikes with food. EBV reactivated 5 years ago & won't go away. Did Big 5 last year, nothing with liver came up. Have mold toxicity & SIBO, took binders to help. Did CBO protocol, but SIBO & mold won't go away. Do 21-day detox regularly, take DNS powder 2x per day + almost all supplements suggested in NAFLD podcast.                                                                                                   Allen: I am new to your podcast but saw you are offering the First Labs Program for 50% off labs. Is this all labs like the Big 5, or only certain ones. Can I run all of them? Thanks for all your help and work you are putting out!     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/3508 - - - 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?

Have you ever wondered why your child melts down after the smallest stressor—no matter what strategies you try? It can leave you drained, second-guessing yourself, and wondering if you're doing something wrong. You're not alone. It's not bad parenting—it's a dysregulated brain.In this episode, we uncover the hidden link between gut issues and emotional dysregulation in kids. You'll learn how the gut-brain connection affects mood, behavior, and focus—and discover practical steps to support both your child's emotional well-being and their gut microbiome at home.Why does my child melt down after eating certain foods?Many parents tell me they notice their child's behavior shifts right after meals—but what they don't realize is that the gut microbiome plays a significant role in emotional regulation.Food sensitivities like gluten, dairy, and artificial dyes can spark systemic inflammation, which shows up as mood swings and behavior changes.Constipation and poor gut health allow toxins to recirculate, affecting both emotional well-being and even pain perception.A leaky gut—or increased intestinal permeability—lets harmful substances enter the bloodstream, disrupting the brain and nervous system.So if your child melts down after eating, it may not be “just behavior.” It's communication from the gut-brain axis—and your child's body is asking for help.If you're tired of walking on eggshells or feeling like nothing works…Get the FREE Regulation Rescue Kit and finally learn what to say and do in the heat of the moment.Become a Dysregulation Insider VIP at www.drroseann.com/newsletter and take the first step to a calmer home.How are gut issues connected to emotional dysregulation?Most parents assume the gut is only about digestion, but it actually has a direct line to the central nervous system and your child's mental health. When the gut is off balance, your child's ability to regulate emotions, focus, and cope with stress takes a hit too.Did you know that up to 90% of serotonin, the neurotransmitter that helps regulate mood and attention, is made in the digestive tract? That means your child's gut isn't just helping them process food—it's helping them manage emotions and stay calm.When there's gut dysbiosis (an imbalance of beneficial gut bacteria), kids are more likely to struggle with heightened anxiety, depressive symptoms, and poor emotional regulation.Chronic stress and an unhealthy gut microbiome create a feedback loop that keeps kids stuck in cycles of emotional distress and behavioral challenges.

After years of severe constipation and a diagnosis of colonic inertia at 13, I was told at 16 that my only option was surgery to remove most of my bowel. Feeling hopeless, I searched for alternatives and discovered colon hydrotherapy, which provided instant relief and changed my life. Learning to do enemas at home gave me control over my health, and through detoxification with coffee enemas, I experienced a complete transformation - clear skin, mental clarity, and even the ability to conceive naturally despite previous medical doubts. Determined to share this life changing knowledge, I became a colon hydrotherapist and founded Happy Bum Co to break the stigma surrounding gut health and provide simple, effective solutions. Today, Happy Bum Co is a global leader in at-home detox, empowering individuals to reclaim their well-being, and I am so grateful to be part of this movement.https://happybumco.com/https://www.facebook.com/happybumcohttps://www.instagram.com/happybumco/________________________________________________________________________________________Come join my Buff Muff Community www.buffmuff.comThank you so much for listening!

In this episode of Homeopathy 247, Mary Greensmith welcomes back Jagoda Salewska, who shares her passion for the remedy Natrum Muriaticum (often called Nat Mur). For Jagoda, this remedy feels deeply personal—something she has resonated with since childhood—and she explains why it is such an essential remedy both emotionally and physically. What is Natrum Muriaticum? Natrum Muriaticum is made from common salt. Since salt is present in every cell of our body and essential for life, this remedy has a wide-reaching influence. It's used in both cell salt (tissue salt) form, which acts more on the physical body, and in homoeopathic remedy form, which works on emotional as well as physical levels. Jagoda describes it as a remedy that “balances the water of life”—helping with issues of dryness and excess fluid, as well as with emotional stuckness. The Emotional Picture – Sadness, Grief, and Sensitivity At its core, Natrum Muriaticum is linked with deep, unresolved grief or sadness. People who need it often: Hold their emotions inside rather than express them Prefer to cry alone, or sometimes feel unable to cry at all Build a protective “wall” around themselves, appearing strong on the outside but deeply tender within Show perfectionist tendencies, carefully controlling how they present to the world Jagoda points out that while grief is the most common theme, the remedy helps whenever emotions become “stuck”—unable to flow naturally. By gently releasing those emotions, Natrum Muriaticum allows healing to move forward. Nat Mur in Children Children needing Natrum Muriaticum may not show obvious grief, but they often reveal themselves in other ways. Traits can include: Perfectionism in appearance or behaviour Being thin or underdeveloped compared to peers Learning or speech delays Sensitivity to light, sound, or strong emotions Constipation or dryness in the body Physically, they may be prone to colds with lots of sneezing and clear discharges, cracked lips, or mouth ulcers. These symptoms all reflect the remedy's connection with water balance and dryness. Physical Complaints and Water Balance Because salt governs fluid balance, Natrum Muriaticum is often indicated where there is too much or too little fluid in the body. Common examples include: Headaches or migraines, especially from the sun or after emotional upset Colds and fevers, with streaming eyes and nose Skin issues such as cold sores, cracked lips, eczema, or acne that appear after grief Digestive troubles, sometimes linked with unprocessed emotions Insomnia, especially waking in the early hours between 3–5am In tissue salt form (6X potency), Nat Mur can also be used as a natural electrolyte to support hydration, especially after diarrhoea, vomiting, or heat exposure. Opening Layers of Healing Jagoda explains that Natrum Muriaticum is often a layer remedy. It helps open the door for other remedies by releasing blocked grief and sadness. Sometimes this uncovering reveals deeper emotions such as anger or resentment, which then call for a different prescription. In homoeopathy, the healing journey often involves peeling back layers. Nat Mur is one of the remedies that can begin this process, gently breaking down walls so that emotions and physical symptoms can flow and heal. Remedy Relationships Ignatia is often used for acute grief, while Nat Mur is suited for the longer, deeper stages of sorrow. Apis acts as an acute counterpart, especially when swelling or allergic reactions appear suddenly, while Nat Mur deals with the slower, underlying imbalance. The remedy also connects strongly with the cycles of nature, including the moon and the sea, reflecting its deep link to water and emotions. Natrum Muriaticum is much more than “just salt.” It is a profound remedy that touches both the physical and emotional levels of health. From headaches and colds to grief and perfectionism, it helps restore balance when life feels stuck. As Jagoda beautifully puts it, Nat Mur helps us release the weight of sadness and move toward wholeness.

Welcome to the latest Photovoltaic Podcast, where we explore the fascinating connections between our body, mind, and everyday wellbeing.Here's something that might surprise you… Your digestive health could be influencing your mood more than you realise. Recent large-scale research, involving nearly half a million people, found a striking link: those experiencing constipation had a 50% higher risk of depression.That's a powerful reminder of just how connected our systems are. But what's driving this relationship? Researchers have found that the answer may not just be about fibre and hydration – the liver and bile flow play a surprisingly important role too.In today's episode, we'll be exploring the science behind this gut-brain connection, the part natural compounds like lecithin and omega-3s might play, and some practical, everyday strategies to support your digestive wellbeing – from food choices and hydration to movement and traditional prebiotic fibres.We'll also talk about the bigger picture – how small, consistent steps in looking after digestion don't just ease discomfort, they can have a ripple effect on mood, energy, and clarity of mind.This podcast is here to share insights and empower you with knowledge, but it isn't a substitute for medical advice. If you're dealing with ongoing digestive or mental health issues, it's always best to speak with a qualified healthcare professional.So, settle in as we uncover the remarkable ways your gut and brain are in conversation – and how nurturing one can transform the other.

Constipation is more than an inconvenience—it's a sign your gut is overwhelmed. In this episode of the School of Doza podcast, Nurse Doza breaks down 5 key habits to help you End Constipation for Good: What Your Gut's Been Trying to Tell You.

Chronic stress paralyzes digestion—managing cortisol is essential for regularity. Magnesium can act as a natural laxative and supports smoother bowel movements.   FEATURED PRODUCT The Good Poops Protocol combines three powerhouse supplements—Gut (L-glutamine), Liver Boost, and Berberine Plus—to help you restore digestive balance, reduce inflammation, and end constipation for good.

Solifenacin is a bladder antimuscarinic medication most commonly used for overactive bladder (OAB) with symptoms of urinary frequency, urgency, and urge incontinence. Like other agents in its class, understanding the pharmacology can help anticipate potential side effects, drug interactions, and downstream prescribing problems. Mechanism of Action Solifenacin selectively blocks muscarinic M3 receptors in the bladder detrusor muscle. Inhibiting these receptors reduces involuntary bladder contractions, increases bladder capacity, and delays the urge to void. While M3 selectivity may theoretically reduce side effects compared to nonselective antimuscarinics, in clinical practice, many anticholinergic effects still occur. Adverse Effects Because muscarinic receptors are present throughout the body, solifenacin can lead to a range of anticholinergic adverse effects: Dry mouth – among the most common, can be significant enough to cause dental issues with long-term use. Constipation – especially problematic in older adults; severe cases may require hospitalization. Blurred vision – due to impaired accommodation. Cognitive impairment – increased risk in older adults, particularly with cumulative anticholinergic burden. Urinary retention – paradoxical worsening in patients with bladder outlet obstruction. Drug Interactions CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., ketoconazole, clarithromycin, ritonavir) can increase solifenacin plasma concentrations, raising the risk of side effects. Other anticholinergics (e.g., diphenhydramine, tricyclic antidepressants, other bladder antimuscarinics) can result in additive toxicity and higher anticholinergic burden. QT-prolonging drugs (e.g., amiodarone, certain fluoroquinolones) may have additive cardiac risk since solifenacin has been associated with QT prolongation in rare cases. Prescribing Cascade Examples Constipation → Laxative initiation – A patient starts solifenacin for OAB and develops severe constipation, leading to chronic use of stimulant laxatives like senna or bisacodyl. Dry mouth → Mouth rinse prescription – Dry mouth is treated with saliva substitutes or prescription rinses, instead of reassessing the anticholinergic therapy. Cognitive decline → Donepezil initiation – In older adults, cognitive impairment may be mistaken for dementia progression, leading to cholinesterase inhibitor prescribing—directly counteracting the anticholinergic effects of solifenacin. Solifenacin can be an effective treatment for OAB, but the risk of adverse effects and prescribing cascades—especially in older adults—cannot be ignored. Healthcare professionals should regularly review the indication, monitor for anticholinergic burden, and look for opportunities to deprescribe when appropriate.

What if your bloating, fatigue, or constipation isn't just “gut-related”… but a thyroid clue?Dr. Heather Finley explains why low stomach acid, sluggish bile flow, and post-food poisoning symptoms can be red flags in thyroid cases. She shares how conventional approaches miss the deeper causes behind SIBO, constipation, and nutrient deficiencies and how gut issues can slow thyroid hormone conversion. We also touch on practical tools like stool testing, mineral analysis, and even burp tests that offer insight when standard labs fall short.

Iodine is the building block to healthy and happy thyroid. Without sufficient iodine, we can't build the very hormones that our thyroid gland is supposed to make - T4 and T3. So, if you have a deficiency of thyroid hormone, as is in the case of hypothyroidism - why are more doctors looking into iodine deficiency as a possible root cause behind hypothyroidism? That is a question I'm answering on today's episode, along with the even more important questions of: if you're doctor isn't going to test you, how can YOU evaluate your own iodine levels. And secondly, if they are low, how can you safely build them up again. There's a lot of controversy around iodine, both on whether or not we even need more iodine in our diets as well as if iodine supplement is even safe. That's why, on today's episode, we're diving into: Symptoms of iodine deficiencyWhy iodine in salt is not enoughWhy iodine testing is so hardWhat tests I recommend to evaluate iodine levels3 safety measures for an iodine protocolAccess to my iodine protocol I've used with my own clients If you're dealing with hypothyroidism, bloating, constipation, brain fog, fatigue, weight gain, or hormonal symptoms like estrogen dominance, PMS, or endometriosis - then this episode is for you.
