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?

Half of all renal services nationally are operating above capacity, with Auckland services operating at 150 percent. According to the Australian and New Zealand Dialysis and Transplant Registry survey for 2025, there's a shortage of units, meaning more people are missing out on essential care. Kidney Health NZ general manager Madi Keay says hospitals are turning to 'band-aid' solutions, including offering shifts at off-peak time slots. "We're seeing a range of other solutions being proposed, but really, we want to be providing better resourcing so people can dialyse within the adequate service times."

While heart disease may be the number-one killer in the United States, kidney disease is the silent partner we rarely discuss. It often develops quietly, with no pain or clear symptoms until advanced stages. What should we know about kidney health and kidney diseases? We spoke with Kirk Campbell, MD, president of the National Kidney Foundation, about the kidneys’ vital roles – from red blood cell production to supporting heart function – why testing matters, which tests to request, and the importance of knowing your numbers. If you’re at risk, don’t hesitate to advocate for screening at your appointments.

Dr. Meliambro walks us through the many essential jobs kidneys do for us and breaks down the various causes of kidney disease.

Dracula has been rewritten as a brooding romantic lead so many times that it's easy to forget he's a rapist. Matthew sits down with AK and Marlena Chesner to ask the hard question: does giving a monster a tragic backstory change what he is, or does it just make us more comfortable rooting for him?Working through three versions of the Dracula story — Bram Stoker's novel, Francis Ford Coppola's Bram Stoker's Dracula, and the recent 2025 film — the group traces how each adaptation handles consent, female agency, and the ethics of sympathy. AK brings a sharp rhetorical lens to scenes the other guests found straightforwardly troubling, reading the 2025 film as an accidental and unnervingly accurate portrait of how abuse perpetuates itself, in particular in light of the consent allegations brought against Luc Besson, writer and director of the 2025 adaptation. Marlena's re-read of the novel keeps the conversation grounded in what Stoker actually wrote — including a Mina who is far more capable and agentive than most adaptations let her be.The conversation also takes in Castlevania and the Netflix Dracula mini-series as counterexamples, the "banality of evil" as a framework for understanding a villain who is fully convinced his violence is an act of love, and why the hallway fight scene in the 2025 film is the clearest sign that its makers see Dracula as a hero.About AK and MarlenaBig time nerd, big time philosopher, big time lover of all things sci-fi and fantasy, AK_Ahab is a recent grad with a philosophy degree and a focus on disability and rhetoric.

What if the most expensive healthcare decisions aren't made in the boardroom — but in the exam room, when the wrong infection gets treated with the wrong antibiotic? In this episode of the Your Health University, Podcast, Jamie sits down with Madison Browning, a registered nurse in urology at Your Health, to talk about what proper urological care actually looks like, why it matters far beyond the individual patient, and how a strong, collaborative provider team is the difference between a patient thriving and a patient stuck in a revolving door of emergency room visits. What you'll hear in this episode: Why getting a UTI diagnosis right the first time has massive implications for patient health and system costs The role nurse practitioners play in specialized urology care — and why their expertise is often underestimated How the team-based model at Your Health empowers every provider to collaborate and deliver better outcomes The direct connection between outpatient urology care and reduced hospital stays, ER visits, and downstream Medicare and tax costs Madison's genuine gratitude for the team around her — and what it looks like when a healthcare culture actually works If you've ever wondered whether the healthcare system could do better — this episode is proof that it already is, one patient at a time. www.YourHealth.Org

Full Show Notes: https://bengreenfieldlife.com/lavalle/ In this episode, I sit down with the legendary clinical pharmacist Jim LaValle for a fascinating exploration of some of the most innovative approaches to health, performance, and longevity. We discuss everything from peptides and small molecules for mitochondrial and kidney support to the science behind improving VO2 max, brain function, sleep, and more. Jim LaValle unpacks his decades of experience, shares cutting-edge research on metabolic health, and explains the power of his Metabolic Code test—which I recently tried myself—for identifying and addressing the biggest bottlenecks in your health journey. Throughout our conversation, we swap stories about nutrition missteps (think gallons of dairy and endless antibiotics), dive into the practical application of peptides like KPV, BPC-157, and lorazotide for healing the gut, and examine trends Jim repeatedly sees even in high performers—like stress-driven hormone changes and sneaky signs of inflammation. If you’re curious about how personalized lab testing, wearable data, and smart supplementation can help you feel better, perform better, and age powerfully, you’ll love the insights in this episode. James "Jim" B. LaValle, B.S.Pharm, CCN, MT, DHM, DHPh, is an internationally recognized clinical pharmacist, author, and board-certified clinical nutritionist, with over 40 years of clinical experience in natural products, lifestyle, drug/nutrient depletion, compounding pharmacy, and peptides.

We're breaking down the full peptide stack for kidney health and renal longevity. When I first got into biohacking I didn't think much about kidneys at all. I assumed they just silently did their thing in the background. But over the years, as I started working with more people and publishing more content, I realized how common kidney dysfunction is and how quickly it can go downhill if you don't catch it early. That's when I went down the rabbit hole of what actually causes kidney decline and what we can do to strengthen and protect renal function long before a diagnosis ever shows up.Inside this episode I walk through the most important vulnerabilities the kidneys face as we age. These are things like oxidative stress, mitochondrial breakdown, metabolic strain, hypertension, hyperglycemia, inflammation, structural damage to the filtration barrier, and even vascular deterioration. Most people don't realize the kidneys use up to ten percent of the body's entire oxygen supply which makes them extremely sensitive to damage. I explain exactly how these vulnerabilities accumulate over time and why proactive support is just as important for someone who is “normal” as it is for someone with early-stage CKD.From there I walk you step-by-step through the five-peptide kidney restoration protocol I put together. This stack includes SS-31, Jardiance, glutathione, ARA-290, and MOTS-C. I explain what each one does, why it matters, the exact dose and frequency I recommend, and what role it plays in repairing, protecting, and unloading the kidneys. I talk about mitochondrial protection, reducing hyperfiltration, lowering mechanical stress, restoring antioxidant defenses, repairing microvasculature, activating AMPK, improving metabolic flexibility, and reversing early fibrosis. This isn't theory. I've watched these compounds move the needle for real people in the real world.I also walk you through the synergy of the full stack. When these agents work together, they offload the metabolic burden on the kidneys while strengthening the cellular machinery that has to keep you alive for decades. I compare it to walking around with a sixty-pound weight vest: eventually that load catches up. This protocol systematically removes that load while improving the kidney's structural resilience at the same time.At the end I cover what to monitor on bloodwork, how to cycle the protocol, what can be used long-term, and the signs you want to get in front of before they spiral into full kidney disease. Whether you have diagnosed kidney problems or you simply want to protect your renal function as part of your longevity plan, this episode gives you a blueprint you can use immediately.As always, make sure you are on my email list so you never miss my content even if platforms delete me. Thank you for being here and letting me bring this information to you. I have so much gratitude for everyone supporting the channel. Enjoy the episode and share it with anyone who needs it.

In this important older episode of the Ancient Health Podcast, Dr. Motley discusses the relationship between a dry cough and kidney health. He explains how the kidneys and lungs are connected, and how chronic stress, fear and grief can impact kidney function and lead to a persistent cough. Show Notes + Links ⬇️ Takeaways: A chronic dry cough can be an indication of kidney fatigue and imbalance. The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone pathway and ACE enzymes play a role in regulating blood pressure and can contribute to coughing.
