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:    Mike: Doc by the time you read this, I will have completed the big 5.. Can you simplify food combinations of how to eat? Don't eat this with that. I like to keep things simple. I think people over think & complicate everything when it comes to health. Eat the colors of the rainbow at every single meal. Thanks for keeping it simple for meatheads like me who just want to live happy healthy lives & preform at our best.         Maryann: Hi Dr. Cabral. I struggle with bouts of severe fatigue that is accompanied by a pain/ache in my lower right back. It starts with the lower back pain a day or 2 in advance and the fatigue then begins with me struggling to wake in the morning, like I am trying to come out of anesthesia. This fatigue can last for a day or a week. I have had an xray and MRI for the back pain which have not shown any issues. All of my routine bloodwork is within normal lab ranges. I have Hashimotos (I take Synthroid daily) and am Celiac, on a strict gluten free diet for 15 years. I do not drink alcohol or caffeine, I strength train 4X a week and walk 4 miles daily. I take daily Vitamin D and calcium supplements. Doctors/specialists have no answers. Any insight you have is very much appreciated! Thanks           Milan: Hello Dr.Cabral. I am an IHP and would like to ask your opinion about tiny bruises under the skin. My client keeps on developing those and we can't figure out the reason. She had some yeast, parasite issues that we have solved already, estrogen dominance that we work on right now, omega3/6 ratio is 4/1, no issues on CBC. She is following an paleo diet and lives very clean. Aside from her estrogen dominance supplements, she also takes activated B, 1g of vitamin C, Zn, Omega3, probiotics, D/K2. What could be the reason for her brushing, am I missing something?                    Mike: Dr Cabral, I have a question regarding poor wound healing and and frequent muscle injuries. I am 44 years old ectomorph, 5'10”, 160 lbs, 10% body fat. I eat smoothies with collagen, goat whey, berries, pears, apples, coconut milk for breakfast, vegetarian lunch with chickpeas, potatoes, vegetables, olive oil, hemp, dinner with rice, vegetables, animal protein, olive oil. I exercise 6 days per week for 45 minute (2x strength training, 2x cardio, 2x yoga). According to my calculation I get about 120g protein, 100g fat, 250g carbs, and overall about 7 servings of fruit/vegetables on daily basis, and about 2400kcal. Could frequent injuries and poor wound healing be due to insufficient calories for my body type and energy expenditure? By the way, my omega 6 to 3 ratio is 3/1 without supplement.        Olive: Hi Dr C I'm an IHP2M My question is about adding probiotics to my daily routine & how much is too much. I take a 12 Billion multi-strain probiotic. I'm also exploring a ‘mental wellness' blend that claims to ‘Optimize your gut-brain axis with a synergistic combo of clinically validated probiotics, prebiotics, and phytobiotics to increase the production of your feel-good neurotransmitters'. Has: Lactobacillus R0052 for positive mood, Bifidobacterium R0175 for stress resilience, Lactobacillus R0011 for gut health for a total of 65 mg. Also prebiotic mix, L-glutamine, L-Theonine, & more fruit extracts. Will this blend add too much bacteria to my gut, and what are your thoughts on the effectiveness of this helping mental wellness by supporting the gut-brain axis?

Join us for this replay from the archives to learn more about effective exercise for your lower back and what can surprisingly make lower back pain worse...   In part two of the interview with Dr. James Fisher, we explore what it takes to actually strengthen the lower back and why exercises like the deadlift are not effective in targeting your lower back muscles. Find out how some people can experience significant lower back strength gain in as little as ten weeks with only 15 total minutes of muscle tension (60 to 90 seconds per week!) and why stretching without strength training can actually make your lower back pain worse. The lower back is a notoriously difficult to train muscle group, which is why so many people are walking around with weak lower backs that are easy to injure and irritate. Fisher did some research with professional athletes to measure the effectiveness of certain exercises in strengthening the lower back and found that exercises that didn't isolate the lower back didn't make a major impact. However, lower back isolating exercises had a greater impact over more general exercises like the deadlift. The lower back needs an isolation exercise and preferably one that doesn't also load the gluteal muscles. These exercises are best done with lower back specific pieces of equipment. In terms of overall strength, people who do lumbar exercises see significant increases in strength. Dr. Fisher has seen lumbar strength increases as high as 200% over the course of ten weeks, as well as improved lifestyle function, with a training frequency of once per week. Lower back exercises are typically just one set and roughly 90 seconds of muscle tension. The lumbar muscles are an example of how you can use your muscles and still lose them due to the deleterious effects of aging. You need to use specific muscle fibers in a specific manner in order to build the strength in your lower back. Stretching can be taken too far if you are not also strengthening the muscles involved. Making your spine and back more mobile without making it stronger can make things worse for you in the long run. Things like yoga should be supplemental to a proper strength training regime. Lower back pain often restricts range of motion, but there are still opportunities to train the muscle group without a full extension. You can start small and expand the range as you get stronger. People with lower back pain also tend to be cautious about moving their lower back, especially during exercise. This is why lower back machines that control the range of motion are effective. They maintain safety and stability while loading the muscles properly. In terms of age, lower back exercises are suited to pretty much everyone in society except for certain individuals; ex. If you're pregnant, a small child, or have an injured spine. Once you've ruled out those conditions, you can safely and confidently strengthen the lower back. The more we know about our body, the more we know how to fix it. Helping identify the source of lower back pain, as well as what isn't the issue, is all part of the journey of alleviating pain and improving quality of life.   Link: exercisecoach.com     This podcast and blog are provided to you for entertainment and informational purposes only.

Join us for this replay from the archives to learn more about solving the problems causing lower back pain...   Brian Cygan and Dr. James Fisher discuss the origins of lower back pain and why the vast majority of Americans will experience some form of lower back pain in their lives. Learn about the root cause of lower back pain and why most treatments only deal with the symptoms and the pain instead of solving the problem, which often leads to even worse issues down the road. Fisher is an academic and researcher in the UK. He's published research on muscular strengthening as well as lower back pain. Lower back pain is a constant issue for a large swath of society. According to his study, somewhere between 70% and 90% of people will experience lower back pain in their lives. Lower back pain can be extremely debilitating to a person's lifestyle and sleep patterns, and can have a major impact on their mental health as well. There is also an enormous cost to society in terms of productivity. At the Strength Coach, we've found that strengthening is an important strategy to improving the quality of life of someone experiencing lower back pain. Chronic lower back is when it occurs for longer than three months. At that point it's important to seek medical guidance from a physiotherapist or general practitioner. About 10% to 15% of people experiencing chronic lower back pain have a specific reason for it like nerve issues or a slipped disc. The remaining 85% to 90% have what's referred to as non-specific back pain which reduces the ability to mitigate the pain. For many of those people, the solution is often some form of painkiller or passive treatment like stretching and massage. The theories about the existence of non-specific lower back pain have to do with our evolution from quadrupeds in the past. The muscles around the lower back don't tend to get much direct exercise and there seems to be a correlation between non-specific lower back pain and weak or atrophied lumbar muscles. The muscles that are more intrinsic to the spine over time, as we live a normal life, can atrophy as a result of not using them in a specific and demanding enough way. For most people, their gluteal muscles and hamstrings are very developed and do a lot of the work that the muscles in the lower back should do, and this can result in those lower back muscles becoming weaker, misfiring, and causing pain. With non-specific back pain, strengthening the muscles in the lower back should be the foundational approach to prevent future episodes of lower back pain. Specific lower back exercises are important for everyone in society to maintain their strength and muscle mass in that region and avoid the onset of lower back pain. Once something negative has happened, the road to recovery gets longer. Your lower back is central to everything you do. Without good control of your central muscles, you cannot throw or catch or jump or move well. From there it's a downward spiral into the realm of disability. An imbalance between ab strength and lower back muscle strength can be part of the problem. We want all of the muscles surrounding the core of the body to be trained effectively, and it's the lower back muscles that tend to be forgotten. The weak link is usually the lumbar muscles, and this can lead to a negative feedback process, where someone avoids exercising those muscles even more to avoid the pain resulting in greater muscle atrophy. We have other societal factors that are also contributing to the lower back pain that so many people experience as part of their lives.   Link: exercisecoach.com     This podcast and blog are provided to you for entertainment and informational purposes only.

Summary: In this episode, we dive into the topic of lower back pain and discuss effective stretches that can help alleviate discomfort. Our host explains the anatomy of the lumbar spine, common causes of lower back pain, and provides three key stretches to help relieve pain and tension in the lower back. Key Points: Understanding the Lumbar Spine: The lumbar spine, or lower back, is composed of 5 vertebrae (L1-L5), although some people may have 6. It supports the weight of the entire body, which is why the bones and discs in this region are larger and stronger than those in the cervical (neck) or thoracic (middle back) spine. The lumbar spine works with the pelvis to facilitate movement, including bending, lifting, and walking, which makes it prone to injury and pain. Causes of Lower Back Pain: Common causes include injuries (strains, sprains, accidents), overuse, poor posture, and spinal conditions like scoliosis, spinal stenosis, spondylolisthesis, and disc degeneration. Misalignment of the spine, such as hyperlordosis (excessive inward curve) or kyphosis (outward curve), can also lead to pain. Many conditions overlap, and addressing only one aspect (e.g., flexibility) may not resolve all underlying issues. Three Effective Stretches for Lower Back Pain: Child's Pose: A stretch that elongates the lower back by flexing and flattening the lumbar curve, helping to relieve tension in the muscles and tissues. Knee to Chest Stretch: A stretch that targets the lower back and hamstrings, which connect to the lumbar spine. It helps release tightness in the back and surrounding muscles. Piriformis Stretch: Focuses on stretching the piriformis muscle, which can relieve lower back pain and tightness. Finding the Root Cause: While these stretches may help manage symptoms, it's crucial to identify the underlying cause of lower back pain. Stretching alone may not be effective if there are underlying issues such as alignment problems, degeneration, or spinal conditions that require more comprehensive treatment. Consult with a medical professional to determine the appropriate stretches and treatment plan tailored to your specific condition. Conclusion: If you're experiencing lower back pain, don't ignore it. Seek professional advice to find out the root cause and ensure you're following the most effective treatment plan. Remember, it's essential to take a holistic approach when dealing with spinal health to achieve the best possible outcome. Artlist.io 847544

“Back pain is a lifestyle problem, not a medical problem,” declares Dr. Andrew Fix. In this episode, he discusses lower back pain and how it is a common issue affecting 88% of Americans at some point in their lives. As the leading cause of work disability, it results in an annual expenditure of $50 billion on pharmaceuticals. Dr. Fix challenges the conventional reliance on imaging and injections for pain management, arguing that these methods contradict established guidelines and real efficacy.   The complex terminology and standard treatments for back pain not only fail to address the underlying issues but also psychologically impact patients. This fear leads to avoidance of the very movements that could alleviate their pain, maintain their activity levels, and build the strength necessary to prevent future injuries.   Dr. Fix emphasizes the importance of timing in tackling back pain. He outlines proactive lifestyle changes that can strengthen the back and preempt injury, offering listeners practical steps to take control of their health and mitigate the risks associated with lower back pain.   Quotes • “What tends to happen, like a staircase, is we see people's activity level continue to decline, then it plateaus, then they have back pain again and it declines some more, then it plateaus. And over the course of their life we see their activity level continue to step down in a staircase kind of fashion and people are gradually doing less and less and less activity over the course of their life.” (3:17 | Dr. Andrew Fix) • “Most people don't need injections in their backs. Most people don't need prescription opioid pain medications. What most people need, quite frankly, is to be taught how to move correctly.” (13:33 | Dr. Andrew Fix)  • “Back pain is a lifestyle problem, not a medical problem…We are not strong enough, not mobile enough, not fit enough to withstand the demands we are putting on our spines.” (15:39 | Dr. Andrew Fix)   Links https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29971708/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34580864/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25559899/   SideKick Tool: https://bit.ly/4a6CqJS   Movemate:

Hello, I'm Erik Scott, a Systems Engineer with 21 years of experience in designing supercomputers. Beyond my professional life, I'm a dedicated JuJitsu practitioner and a former CrossFit competition judge. My fitness journey spans 28 years, exploring various modalities and even participating in endurance-based events like GORUCK Rucking. One significant turn in my journey was battling five years of severe back pain, leading me to explore MSC Stem Cell treatment in Colombia, resulting in a remarkable transformation. Today, I'm not only a proud newlywed but also a committed advocate for health and fitness, having shed 20 pounds in just a month and a half. As a new father and husband, my life has taken on new dimensions, and I bring a unique perspective to discussions about balancing a demanding career, maintaining physical and mental well-being, and navigating transformative life experiences. I believe in the power of discipline and positive habits, lessons learned through personal challenges and triumphs. I'm excited to share my story and insights on podcasts, bringing a blend of professional expertise, personal journey, and the joys and challenges of being a new father and husband to your audience. Hero's Journey:  “My journey took a significant turn when I faced the relentless challenge of extreme back pain for over five years. This pain, compounded by my rigorous fitness routines, left me with no positive results from medical teams in the United States. One year ago, driven by detailed research, I made the courageous decision to seek MSC Stem Cell treatment for issues including L2-L5 disc herniations, L1-L2 and L3-L4 bulging discs, and L3-L4 canal stenosis. This choice was met with scepticism from medical professionals, friends, and family, as it involved travelling to Colombia for treatment.Fast forward one year, and the transformation is undeniable. A ‘before and after' MRI comparison revealed increased hydration in the herniated disks, the absence of bulging discs, and no signs of canal stenosis, all without inflammation in other areas. My unwavering commitment to health and fitness remained, especially as I embarked on a new chapter of my life, as a newlywed with a baby on the way. The realization that I needed to shed weight and embrace positive habits drove me to action. Fearful that I might not be able to lift my daughter off the ground, I sought the guidance of a mindset, nutrition, and fitness mentor, resulting in a remarkable 20-pound weight loss in just four months. I learned that the pain of discipline far outweighs any regret from neglecting my well-being.” Social Media https://kishar.org (Main Site) Insta @kisharspiritual https://www.instagram.com/kisharspiritual Threads @kisharspiritual  https://www.threads.net/@kisharspiritual YouTube @PeaceOnYourJourney https://www.youtube.com/@PeaceOnYourJourney

Join us for this replay from the archives to learn more about effective exercise for your lower back and what can surprisingly make lower back pain worse...   In part two of the interview with Dr. James Fisher, we explore what it takes to actually strengthen the lower back and why exercises like the deadlift are not effective in targeting your lower back muscles. Find out how some people can experience significant lower back strength gain in as little as ten weeks with only 15 total minutes of muscle tension (60 to 90 seconds per week!) and why stretching without strength training can actually make your lower back pain worse. The lower back is a notoriously difficult to train muscle group, which is why so many people are walking around with weak lower backs that are easy to injure and irritate. Fisher did some research with professional athletes to measure the effectiveness of certain exercises in strengthening the lower back and found that exercises that didn't isolate the lower back didn't make a major impact. However, lower back isolating exercises had a greater impact over more general exercises like the deadlift. The lower back needs an isolation exercise and preferably one that doesn't also load the gluteal muscles. These exercises are best done with lower back specific pieces of equipment. In terms of overall strength, people who do lumbar exercises see significant increases in strength. Dr. Fisher has seen lumbar strength increases as high as 200% over the course of ten weeks, as well as improved lifestyle function, with a training frequency of once per week. Lower back exercises are typically just one set and roughly 90 seconds of muscle tension. The lumbar muscles are an example of how you can use your muscles and still lose them due to the deleterious effects of aging. You need to use specific muscle fibers in a specific manner in order to build the strength in your lower back. Stretching can be taken too far if you are not also strengthening the muscles involved. Making your spine and back more mobile without making it stronger can make things worse for you in the long run. Things like yoga should be supplemental to a proper strength training regime. Lower back pain often restricts range of motion, but there are still opportunities to train the muscle group without a full extension. You can start small and expand the range as you get stronger. People with lower back pain also tend to be cautious about moving their lower back, especially during exercise. This is why lower back machines that control the range of motion are effective. They maintain safety and stability while loading the muscles properly. In terms of age, lower back exercises are suited to pretty much everyone in society except for certain individuals; ex. If you're pregnant, a small child, or have an injured spine. Once you've ruled out those conditions, you can safely and confidently strengthen the lower back. The more we know about our body, the more we know how to fix it. Helping identify the source of lower back pain, as well as what isn't the issue, is all part of the journey of alleviating pain and improving quality of life.   Link: exercisecoach.com     This podcast and blog are provided to you for entertainment and informational purposes only.

Join us for this replay from the archives to learn more about solving the problems causing lower back pain...   Brian Cygan and Dr. James Fisher discuss the origins of lower back pain and why the vast majority of Americans will experience some form of lower back pain in their lives. Learn about the root cause of lower back pain and why most treatments only deal with the symptoms and the pain instead of solving the problem, which often leads to even worse issues down the road. Fisher is an academic and researcher in the UK. He's published research on muscular strengthening as well as lower back pain. Lower back pain is a constant issue for a large swath of society. According to his study, somewhere between 70% and 90% of people will experience lower back pain in their lives. Lower back pain can be extremely debilitating to a person's lifestyle and sleep patterns, and can have a major impact on their mental health as well. There is also an enormous cost to society in terms of productivity. At the Strength Coach, we've found that strengthening is an important strategy to improving the quality of life of someone experiencing lower back pain. Chronic lower back is when it occurs for longer than three months. At that point it's important to seek medical guidance from a physiotherapist or general practitioner. About 10% to 15% of people experiencing chronic lower back pain have a specific reason for it like nerve issues or a slipped disc. The remaining 85% to 90% have what's referred to as non-specific back pain which reduces the ability to mitigate the pain. For many of those people, the solution is often some form of painkiller or passive treatment like stretching and massage. The theories about the existence of non-specific lower back pain have to do with our evolution from quadrupeds in the past. The muscles around the lower back don't tend to get much direct exercise and there seems to be a correlation between non-specific lower back pain and weak or atrophied lumbar muscles. The muscles that are more intrinsic to the spine over time, as we live a normal life, can atrophy as a result of not using them in a specific and demanding enough way. For most people, their gluteal muscles and hamstrings are very developed and do a lot of the work that the muscles in the lower back should do, and this can result in those lower back muscles becoming weaker, misfiring, and causing pain. With non-specific back pain, strengthening the muscles in the lower back should be the foundational approach to prevent future episodes of lower back pain. Specific lower back exercises are important for everyone in society to maintain their strength and muscle mass in that region and avoid the onset of lower back pain. Once something negative has happened, the road to recovery gets longer. Your lower back is central to everything you do. Without good control of your central muscles, you cannot throw or catch or jump or move well. From there it's a downward spiral into the realm of disability. An imbalance between ab strength and lower back muscle strength can be part of the problem. We want all of the muscles surrounding the core of the body to be trained effectively, and it's the lower back muscles that tend to be forgotten. The weak link is usually the lumbar muscles, and this can lead to a negative feedback process, where someone avoids exercising those muscles even more to avoid the pain resulting in greater muscle atrophy. We have other societal factors that are also contributing to the lower back pain that so many people experience as part of their lives.   Link: exercisecoach.com     This podcast and blog are provided to you for entertainment and informational purposes only.
