Most people assume that if a drug sits on the shelf at Costco or Walgreens, it must be pretty safe. But what if some of the most common over-the-counter (OTC) medications are among the riskiest drugs in America? On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared exposes the hidden dangers behind everyday pain relievers, sleep aids, and heartburn drugs—medicines that cause thousands of deaths every year when misused or taken long-term. You'll learn how a drug becomes “OTC,” what happens when pharmaceutical companies push for that switch, and why the FDA's approval process might not tell the whole story. Jared dives into the startling realities of PPIs like Prilosec, NSAIDs like ibuprofen, and acetaminophen (Tylenol)—uncovering their risks to the liver, kidneys, bones, and brain. He also discusses how marketing convinces consumers these drugs are harmless. Finally, Jared offers a resource for safe, natural alternatives for reflux, pain, inflammation, sleep, and immune support—options that nourish the body instead of depleting it. This episode will change the way you look at “harmless” OTC drugs and help you take real control of your health.Just Ingredients Lemon Swish Protein Powder Vitality Radio POW!

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: Hello! My labs showed I have low cortisol, I've been supplementing with adrenal energy for a few months and have tried to incorporate more yoga and nervous system work. I used to weight train heavy and hard and I've cut that back alot. My workouts are still leaving me super inflammed the next day and days after (even from doing just 2 excersizes 3 sets). I dont feel my energy improving at all from these past few months. What should I do? I dont have a whole lot of stress right now but my body has definitely been super stressed in the past which is why I think im at this point. Im dog walking for work and even just slow nice walks out in nature is fatiguing me. Do I have to cut out weights completely while I heal?                                                                                                                                                                 Jenny: Hi Dr. Cabral - I have always enjoyed when you share your experiences with your current and previous dogs, and especially your approach to their food and overall health. We have a black lab mix who is over 12 and as expected, he doesn't move as easily as he used to. Are there any supplements you would give to your dog at this stage in life? I'm particularly thinking of something for joint pain and mobility, lipomas, food recommendations, etc. Thank you so much!        Katherine:  Hi Doc. Thank you for all you do for the world! I had a 28cm stent put in from my bladder to kidney because my ureter has a stricture. I went for a renal scan and my 1 kidney is functioning at 18% with the stent in. Now the specialist is recommending to take it out. I need to take out my stent because it's juat temporary but they are wondering if I wanted to switch out for another stent. I've done many of your lab tests throughout the year and quarterly detoxes. I am 42 years old. Is it possible I could naturally improve the function of it? What would you do? Thanks so much for your input!      Bettina: Hello Dr. Cabral, since I live in Denmark, I've been looking for a reverse osmosis system available locally. I found one that seems promising and would appreciate your thoughts. It uses 8-stage filtration with 400 GPD flow, removing microplastics, nanoplastics, heavy metals (lead, mercury, arsenic, cadmium, chromium, aluminum), and chemical pollutants (pesticides, herbicides, PFAS, VOCs, chlorine, fluoride, nitrates, cyanide). It also eliminates microorganisms (bacteria, viruses, parasites, mold, algae, cyanotoxins) via a 0.0001-micron Platinum RO membrane and UV sterilization (99.9% effective). It filters sediments, radionuclides, and TDS. A carbon pre-filter protects the membrane, while a mineral boost reintroduces calcium and magnesium. Hydrogen and pH balancing enhance the water.                  Bettina: Hello Dr. Cabral, it's me again. What are your thoughts on this product? It is made without additives and developed in collaboration with neuroscience experts. Each 100% vegan capsule contains 600 mg Curcumin C3 Complex® (standardized to 95% curcuminoids) for antioxidant and anti-inflammatory support, 50 mg ginger extract (standardized to 20% gingerols) for digestive and immune benefits, 40 mg saffron extract from Spain (standardized to 3% safranal, 7.5% crocins, and 30% polyphenols) to support mood and emotional balance, and 10 mg BioPerine® (standardized to 95% piperine) to enhance absorption and bioavailability. All raw materials are tested before production by top laboratories such as Eurofins to ensure purity and quality. Thanks for your time.                                                               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/3530 - - - 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?

In parts 1 and 2 we looked at studies that sought to determine the effects of semaglutide on kidney function. Today, in the final part of the series, we are going to discuss another such study called Effects of Semaglutide on Chronic Kidney Disease in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes by Perkovic et al., 2024.

This is part 2 of my series on the research around GLP-1 drugs for supporting kidney function. In part 1 we looked at Long-term kidney outcomes of semaglutide in ob*sity and cardiovascular disease in the SELECT trial, today we'll look at “Semaglutide in patients with overw*ight or ob*sity and chronic kidney disease without diabetes: a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled clinical trial” Get full access to Weight and Healthcare at weightandhealthcare.substack.com/subscribe

As I promised, I'm doing some deep dives into the research and claims around GLP-1 agonist drugs for actual health uses other than their use in managing Type 2 Diabetes. For this series, I'll be doing the deep dives as well as analyzing the studies using the framework that I discussed here.Kidney-related health is one of the claimed uses I'm most often asked about with GLP1s, that providers have told me they feel is one of the most promising, and which recently received FDA approval (for semaglutide), so I'm going to start there. I want to reiterate that while I have serious questions about the safety and efficacy (especially long-term of the drugs for intentional weight loss, they are solid Type 2 Diabetes drugs and they may have other health benefits.

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:    Sarah: Hello! Back with another question.. Im 28 female from scotland, and have had hair growing in places I shouldn't since age 24. The hair under my chin and a bit on my neck/cheeks is what gets me down the most. My doctor has checked me for PCOS through bloodwork and said everything was fine. I've recently did your hormone test. Testosterone was great, estrogen good, progesterone was low and cortisol was low. I've been on progesterone support, adrenal energy aswell as DNS, greens, omegas etc for some time now. I also take pumpkin seed oil and saw palmetto. The hair just keeps growing. What else can I do? I've tried countless rounds of laser but it just returns. Is hair in this area always related to PCOS/hormones? Can it just be genetics? Thank you!!                                                            Larissa: Hello! I was exposed to black mold for 6 yrs about 5yrs ago. Although my most severe symptoms went away, some longer. I've been working with a naturopath whom recommended a protocol with cholestyramine, charcoal, and minerals for about 1M. However, I've read Andrew Campbell mold protocol and he recommends itraconazole for 7 days. I did my urine mycotoxin testing FYI which still shows a high load of most all strains. Which do you recommend? I want to get rid of all the mold with the least side effects and avoiding constipation (I already have to take daily magnesium citrate to have daily bowel movements). Thank you!!!                                                                                                          Sabrina: Hi doctor Cabral. I'm hoping you can help me with something that is super frustrating. My stomach craves large meals for satisfaction, yet they cause bloating. Conversely, small-volume meals, despite being calorie-dense, just don't register as filling, leaving me wanting more. Is there a way to solve this, meaning training your stomach to be satisfied with smaller meals? Thanks so much for your help!                     Lisa: I am a 48yr old female and have elevated kidney function. 1.1.  have been told not to take creatine. I have heard multiple times that to much protein can have an effect on kidney function also. I love to workout and fir my age high protein and creatine is suppose to be good for someone who works out. Will these things truly hinder or further hinder my kidney function.                                                                                   Cassi: Just completed your book, The Rain Barrel Effect, and was wondering if you have worked with anyone with EOE (Eosinophilic esophagitis) to successfully get them off of PPIs? I've also dealt with histamine intolerance, that I've actually been able to reverse through a lot of what you teach in the book, and I have also gotten down from 20mg of omeprazole twice a day to 20mg once every other day but if I go longer than that I find myself choking on food again no matter how little I eat at a time or how well I chew it.      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/3487 - - - 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?

Our kidneys filter out waste while retaining substances the body needs, such as electrolytes. Kidney health, which can be assessed with blood and urine biomarker tests, is paramount to overall health. Yet lifestyle, such as the Western diet and other factors, can damage the kidneys, leading to either a slow progression of issues or acute injury. Dr. Rick Johnson and Mike Haney discuss the role of the kidneys, what lifestyle factors affect kidney health, ways to support the kidneys, and what your biomarker results tell you about the function of these crucial organs.Sign Up to Get Your Free Ultimate Guide to Glucose: https://levels.link/wnl

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:     Kellie: Hi Dr. Cabral! I have been with your program for almost 6 months now. I have completed the Vit-Tox tests and have gone through the FM Detox twice and now going through the CBO Protocol. I just turned 38 years old and I feel like my joints are of an 80 year old. I have played soccer since age 5 and still play on a competitive coed league to this day. I have played many other team/contact sports in the past. I have had past ankle, knee, and hip injuries due to sports and I do see possible knee and hip replacements in my future. When I do my daily workouts or go up/down stairs my ankles, knees, hips, and back crack or pop so easily and so much. I don't see glucosamine chondroitin as a supplement in your shop. Are there any suggestions you may have to keep my joints healthier? Thank you!!              Jon: Hey Dr Cabral, looking for advice and i feel like there's a population that struggles with this same topic. My Dr is recommending a statin due to my high LDL-C of 230. My LDL has gone up after cleaning up my diet in the last 7 months however ALL of my markers tested for have improved. Triglycerides have gone from over 200 to 100, HDL is up to 60, VLDL has dropped from 30 to 15, A1C is 5.2, blood pressure is normal for the first time ever, and so onr. My personal opinion is that i'm healthier than ever and i can't imagine having to go on what seems like a lifetime drug due to one marker being off and i don't buy the story that LDL alone is a concern for me. Curious on your opinion here and if you think i have something to worry about. Thanks!!                                                                                                                            Annette: I've been diagnosed with nephrocalcinosis by conventional doctors who say the cause is genetic. I have adjusted my diet to low sodium, low oxalate foods. The doctors say my next step is to try to get on the kidney transplant list before I need dialysis. I take potassium citrate and a calcitriol. Is there anything I can do to improve my kidney function?                                                                                                  Summer: Hi Dr. Cabral! I heard you say that it's best to replace aluminum cookware, but not necessary, and instead to use parchment paper as a barrier. Doesn't the aluminum off gas when heated? How does parchment paper prevent the aluminum from getting into the food? Thanks! By the way, to all my fellow listeners: please contact your state representatives and let them know you do not consent to geo-engineering in your skies. Several states have now banned it. We could all live healthier lives if we could work toward eliminating toxins and heavy metals including aluminum that are regularly being sprayed into our air.                                                                                                                                                Ann: Thank you Dr Cabral- you are changing SO many lives - thank you for all of your wisdom and teachings:) I have a question about Magnesium. My cortisol was high at my last lab test, and I took Full Spectrum magnesium for 12 weeks, and now I take Cal Mag daily. I also understand that I can take Calming Magnesium and CBD at night to help with sleep.I don't want to take too much for too long for my body, but I still think I need the help for my cortisol levels/ sleep. What combination of the above do you recommend? Is there a length of time that is too long to be on Full Spectrum Magnesium? PS. I do the 3-2-1 protocol, take Adrenal Soothe and will be repeating my big 5 this fall.

Today, we're diving into one of the most misunderstood, wrongly demonized, and yet most important pieces of your nutrition strategy: PROTEIN.We're going deep into:Why so many people still believe protein is dangerous — especially for your kidneysWhere these outdated beliefs came fromThe role of protein in muscle gain, fat loss, aging, and long-term healthWhy the RDA is setting you up for failureWhat YOU can do today to get the benefits of a high-protein lifestyleResources:1. High-Protein Diets and Kidney Function in Healthy Adults:Study: A Systematic Review of Renal Health in Healthy Individuals Consuming High Protein DietsFindings: This review analyzed multiple randomized controlled trials and found that increased protein intake led to higher glomerular filtration rates (GFR), all within normal kidney function ranges. The data suggest that higher protein consumption does not adversely affect kidney health in healthy adults. ​Study: Effect of a High-Protein Diet on Kidney Function in Healthy Adults: Results from the OmniHeart TrialFindings: This study concluded that a healthy diet rich in protein increased estimated GFR. However, it noted that the long-term effects of high-protein diets on kidney health remain uncertain.2. Protein Intake and Sarcopenia (Muscle Loss) in Older Adults:Study: Protein Intake and Sarcopenia in Older Adults: A Systematic Review and Meta-AnalysisFindings: The meta-analysis indicated that older adults with sarcopenia consumed significantly less protein than their non-sarcopenic peers, suggesting that inadequate protein intake may be associated with muscle loss in the elderly. ​Study: Role of Dietary Protein in the Sarcopenia of AgingFindings: The study suggests that moderately increasing daily protein intake beyond 0.8 g/kg/day may enhance muscle protein anabolism, potentially mitigating age-related muscle loss. ​Protein & Kidney Health in Healthy IndividualsSystematic Review: High Protein Diets & Renal FunctionConclusion: No negative effects on kidney function in healthy adults.

Dr. Valentin Fuster discusses the February 2025 issue of JACC, which focuses on advancements in heart failure research. The discussion covers five key sections: heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, cardiac amyloidosis, standardization of kidney function, and ICD therapy for primary prevention in heart failure patients. Experts explore emerging therapies, diagnostic thresholds, and the potential impact of blood pressure and genetics on patient outcomes, underscoring the need for comprehensive approaches in managing these complex conditions.

Nephrologist Manjula Tamura discusses the downsides of kidney dialysis, especially for old or frail patients. Her field has set its sights on offering alternatives, including supportive medical management without dialysis, dialysis in increments, wearable artificial kidneys, and transplanted kidneys from genetically modified pigs – in addition to advances in preventive care that can help humans avoid kidney failure in the first place. Dialysis can extend life, she says, but it is a lifestyle change. The goal is to ensure that every patient's choice aligns with their values and life goals, Tamura tells host Russ Altman in this episode of Stanford Engineering's The Future of Everything podcast.Have a question for Russ?

In EPISODE 182 OF GROWING OLDER LIVING YOUNGER, Dr. Thomas Weimbs and Dr. Gillian Lockitch  discuss the prevalence and management of chronic kidney disease (CKD), which affects one in seven adults in the U.S. Dr. Weimbs highlights the importance of diet and lifestyle in managing CKD, particularly through ketogenic metabolic therapy. He explains that ketosis, induced by a low-carbohydrate diet, can slow the progression of polycystic kidney disease (PKD) by reducing inflammation and improving kidney function. Dr. Weimbs  describes the Ren-Nu program, a three-month nutrition and lifestyle intervention for kidney disease patients, which has shown significant improvements in kidney function and pain reduction for many participants. Whether you're affected by kidney disease, have a family history, or are simply interested in how nutrition and epigenetic strategies can support healthy aging, this episode will provide invaluable insights.  Thomas Weimbs PhD is a leading expert in kidney disease research. He is a professor at the University of California in Santa Barbara (UCSB) where he directs a research laboratory focused on polycystic kidney disease. He received his doctoral degree from the University of Cologne, Germany, and then conducted postdoctoral research at the University of California in San Francisco. In 1999, as an assistant professor, he started his first independent research laboratory at the Lerner Research Institute of the Cleveland Clinic. There, his research on polycystic kidney disease began with the support of a local family affected by PKD and whose family foundation still supports PKD research in Dr. Weimbs' lab today. In 2005, Dr. Weimbs moved his laboratory back to California to join the Department of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology at UCSB. The laboratory studies molecular mechanisms underlying PKD with an emphasis towards developing new therapies. Recent research has led to the discovery that dietary interventions and natural metabolites strongly slow PKD progression in animal models. This led to the launch of Santa Barbara Nutrients with the goal to make these approaches available for the nutritional management of PKD.

Hello everyone, In today's episode, I delved into a simple yet often overlooked aspect of weight loss and energy enhancement: hydration with water. As a board-certified family and lifestyle medicine physician, I've seen firsthand how proper hydration can transform lives. Here's a summary of what we covered: Key Points Discussed: Cellular Hydration and Metabolism: Proper hydration aids cellular functions, enhancing metabolic activities like protein synthesis and lipid metabolism, which boosts energy expenditure. Thermic Effect of Water: Drinking water temporarily increases energy expenditure as the body works to heat the ingested water to body temperature. Studies show that 500 mLs of water can increase metabolic rate by about 30% for over an hour. Hormonal Balance and Appetite Regulation: Adequate hydration helps regulate hunger and satiety hormones, preventing the misinterpretation of thirst signals as hunger, thus reducing caloric intake. Kidney Function and Toxin Removal: Hydration supports kidney function, aiding in the efficient removal of waste products and toxins, reducing the risk of kidney stones, and maintaining metabolic balance. Influence on Physical Performance: Proper hydration is crucial for maintaining blood volume, muscle function, and thermoregulation during physical activity, thereby enhancing physical performance and calorie expenditure. Practical Tips for Staying Hydrated: Increase Daily Water Intake: Aim for 8 to 10 ounces per hour during the first 8 to 10 hours of your day. Start Your Day with Water: Begin your morning with a glass of water to set the right tone for the day. Enhance Water Flavor: If you dislike plain water, consider adding frozen fruit or opting for herbal teas. Consume Water-Rich Foods: Include fresh fruits and vegetables with high water content in your diet. Drink Slowly: Avoid gulping down water to prevent frequent urination, especially at night. Additional Advice: Monitor Your Symptoms: If you experience persistent fatigue or other issues, consult your doctor. Avoid Overhydration: Spread your water intake throughout the day to avoid hyponatremia, a condition caused by drinking too much water too quickly. I also shared insights on my signature framework for weight loss and metabolism mastery, and how I've helped thousands of people achieve their health goals. If you're interested in learning more, check out my free masterclass on the five steps to master your metabolism and the common mistakes in weight loss journeys. Thank you for joining me today.

What's it like to have an autoimmune disease, resulting in borderline kidney failure and be on the verge of needing a kidney transplant? It must have been really scary to deal with. That's what today's guest Rhonda faced. She had just been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease called IgA nephropathy which significantly impairs kidney function, and in her acute hospitalization, it was found that her Glomerular Filtration Rate (GRF) had already dropped to the super low level of 12. She was about to be put on the transplant list, but she wasn't even 50 years old yet and still had a full life ahead of her, not to mention another grandchild on the way to love.   Yet, following the advice of her kidney doctor, she decided to give plant-based eating a try…and what results she experienced within just 6 months of making this change! Hear about the health transformation Rhonda experienced in part 1 of this Guest Interview. Not only did her kidney function improve naturally, her HbA1c dropped drastically from 8.2 to 5.4, her mental health got better and she went way down in pills. Listen in to learn more of Rhonda's story and be inspired!     ** DON'T MISS IT! 1-YEAR ANNIVERSARY PODCAST DRAWING EVENT ENDS TONIGHT!** To celebrate the milestone of this Podcast reaching the 1-year anniversary mark, I'm giving away a FREE 1:1 Private Coaching Session to a listener.

The most commonly used equation that determines someone's kidney function includes a binary male-female sex coefficient. But what does this mean for the care of transgender, gender-diverse, and nonbinary people? Cameron Whitley, an associate professor with kidney failure experience, and researchers Keila Turino Miranda, a PhD student, and Dr. David Collister, a nephrologist, shed light on this important topic.   Dr. David Collister (he/him) is a Kidney Doctor, Clinician-Scientist and Assistant Professor at the University of Alberta. He has a PhD in Health Research Methodology from McMaster University. His research program is funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research and the Kidney Foundation of Canada and focuses on randomized controlled trials of interventions for uremic symptoms, cannabinoids, the responsiveness of uremic symptoms to the initiation of dialysis, metabolomics, proteomics and the intersection of gender diversity and kidney disease. Keila Turino Miranda (she/her) is a first year PhD Student in the Cardiovascular Health and Autonomic Regulation Laboratory at McGill University. Ms. Turino Miranda's work focuses on understanding and addressing the unique healthcare needs and disparities faced by transgender, gender-diverse, and non-binary (TGD) individuals in the realms of nephrology and cardiology using a patient-oriented approach. Cameron T. Whitley, Ph.D. (he/they) is an Associate Professor in the Department of Sociology at Western Washington University. He studies issues concerning the environment, human-animal relationships, and transgender-affirming medicine. He got involved with studying transgender-affirming medicine when he was diagnosed with kidney failure and received a kidney transplant while writing his dissertation. Through this process, he coauthored one of the first articles addressing the discrepancies in evaluating kidney function for transgender people.
