While they tend to develop silently over time, their symptoms can appear suddenly, typically as severe back or side pain, blood in the urine, or persistent nausea.

She also outlines the treatment options available today, including pain relief strategies, noninvasive procedures like shock wave therapy, and how to manage recurring stones through long-term changes.  Learn more about Nwamaka Fadahunsi, MD

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:    Will: Dr. Cabral, I am trying to get information on a healthy all natural substitute for alcohol. I have stopped drinking since I've been actively using your products and enjoying my new lifestyle. Still sometimes I have the need/urge to relax in the evenings or while out with friends and family. What can you tell me about this product? https://www.calmingco.com/?srsltid=AfmBOor6Jl5JF5dSf0ia1k1GSuWSMLPznoChs_nnnV8LQr88V4C7yR6u                              Christin: Can you speak to some ways to support a child (11 yrs) with type 1 diabetes? My daughter was diagnosed 3 years ago with autoimmune T1D. I've looked into stem cell therapy as one option to restore pancreatic function and several of the protocols include an IV detox prior to the therapy. Some of them can be done with children and others cannot. I would love to help her body every way possible, but it seems options are often limited for children. What can I do to help her body function optimally?                                                                                                                                                     Patrick: Hey dr I just listened to your podcast on kidney stones. I believe you mentioned before that you could do a shot of olive oil and lemon but you didnt mention it this time is it still something you recommend. Thanks                                    Andy: Hi dr c, we love all you do. Post jab in 2021, and almost immediately, I developed burning all over my body which has now culminated in a diagnosis of small fiber neuropathy and pots. Perhaps the worst symptom has been my intolerance to exercise in the form of rapid heart rate and headaches post exercise. I have had done all types of functional medical tests including stool tests, organic acid tests, mould tests and listened to all your pots podcasts. Nothing major ever shows up. I did you mould protocol which helped some underlying gut issues. I have qualified for IVIG treatment. Do you suggest running the big 5 or proceeding with the IVIG and do you have any views on long term effects of IVIG. I am 33, healthy and was a long distance runner before all this. Love from down under.          Kim: Hi Dr. Cabral, My 13 year old son has HSP which is inflammation of the blood vessels. That's what I gather anyway. We found out he had it after coming down with a virus and/or food poisoning. He had red dots all over the lower legs which turns out was due to the capillaries breaking. He has high amounts of protein in his urine. We are going to meet with a specialist for it but I was wondering if you could help me figure out what supplements to have him take? They're probably going to want to put him on a small dose of blood pressure medication to relieve some stress on his blood vessels but he doesn't have high blood pressure. I know there are things I can do to help his body but I just don't know what that is. Any advice you have for me to help my child, I would really appreciate 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/3438 - - - 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?

Send us a textEver wondered what really happens during a vasectomy? Or why that morning coffee might be setting you up for kidney stones? Dr. David Ludlow pulls back the curtain on men's health topics most guys are too uncomfortable to discuss."That wasn't as bad as I thought it would be" – the phrase Dr. Ludlow hears so often from vasectomy patients that he jokes about putting it on t-shirts. In this eye-opening conversation, he dispels common myths about men's health procedures that keep many from seeking necessary care. From explaining how robotic surgery works (no, the robot isn't performing surgery while the doctor takes a coffee break) to clarifying that vasectomies won't affect your ability to perform or enjoy sex, Dr. Ludlow addresses the concerns men rarely voice but frequently worry about.The discussion ventures into surprising territory, revealing how our modern lifestyle impacts urological health in unexpected ways. Those energy drinks you're chugging for hydration? They're actually dehydrating you. That Western diet with processed foods? It might explain why African-Americans have higher prostate cancer rates than native Africans. Even excessive pornography consumption gets examined for its potential physical (not just psychological) impacts on sexual function – a topic rarely addressed in medical discussions but increasingly relevant as Dr. Ludlow sees young patients with dysfunction issues that shouldn't typically affect their age group.Whether you're approaching the age for prostate screening, considering a vasectomy, or simply want to understand how to maintain optimal urological health, this conversation delivers practical insights without the embarrassment of the exam room. Listen now to hear from the doctor who's seen it all and isn't afraid to talk about it – your body will thank you.
