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:    Lara: Hi, dr. Cabral.. I was listening to your podcast Can you cheat death (ep. 872) and you say your doctor should check your cholesterol, crp levels and homocysteine levels.. could you please tell us what the ranges are? Normal healthy levels? Please and thank you and happy healing to everyone                                      Melanie: I have the Essure device implanted for Birth control sterilization. They have since recalled it. I would like to get it removed but it is a risky procedure. I don't have specific problems from it but I was wondering if it could be contributing to some health problems I don't realize?                                                                       Geoff: Hello! What would you do to heal as quickly as possible after a gum procedure? I'm having my gum recession fixed and have a few things lined up to aid the healing process. Here's what I'm planning on using: hydrogen water tablets (3x/day on an empty stomach), the "Healing like Wolverine" peptide stack (BPC-157, TB-500, GHK-Cu, Ipamorelin), along with daily infrared sauna sessions. I also have some C60 oil that I'm considering. What else would you do? Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my question!! You and your team are the best! Hope you have a great day!   Mohamed: Good day Doctor Cabral. I am big fan of your work and have utilized many of equilifes products. I also regularly watch your YouTube videos and podcasts. Your work is incredible. My question is regarding bilateral sciatica pain (Nerve pain) which lead to pondylitic changes with nerve root impingement. How can I address this. What do I need to avoid or utilize. I know B1 is good for Nerve related issues. Please weigh in. Thanks                                                                        Sheena:  Hi  Dr Cabral! Thank you so much for answering my question. I'm 45 and starting to feel the effects of perimenopause. Hot flashes everyday and night, cant stay asleep because of it, bad break outs, and irregular prolonged periods. Fortunately no vaginal dryness but I don't doubt it will come soon! My endocrinologist suggested I could take low-dose birth control pill and says it'll help. I'm hesitant in taking something synthetic everyday as I know it could come with long term effects. I have been taking this organic tincture for menopause that includes sage, black cohosh, burdock, chasetree, dongquai and motherwort, it was really helping for about a year, but not as much anymore. Which is why I'm considering birth control pill. What are your thoughts and recommendations? You're the best!!    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/3473 - - - 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?

From back surgery and chronic debilitating pain… to running, lifting, and moving freely again, I have my life back.5 years ago, I herniated two discs doing clean + jerk. I couldn't walk for weeks due to pain. I became obsessed with recovery and healed fairly quickly, but relapsed with worse pain a few years later after a chiropractic adjustment sent electric pain shooting down my leg and completely debilitated me.For years, I spiraled with pain, anger, fear, depression, drinking, and debt. I dropped out of university and spent two years living in fear, blaming others, and feeling stuck in the past. Out of desperation, I got a microdiscectomy. I expected everything to change. It didn't.A year post-surgery, still unable to run, lift, or feel normal, I joined the Whealth Limitless Programme. Having been a fan of “shirtless dude” on Instagram, I loved his meticulous approach, recognizing that you do have control despite chronic pain when everything tells you that you don't.The daily structure of the Limitless workouts helped me chip away at sciatica, back, hip, and full body pain pain, rebuild my strength, relearn how to move and lift, and ultimately get my life back.What changed everything?• Structure- a clear, step-by-step plan forward• Community- pain is isolating, but I wasn't alone anymore• Honesty- accepting where I was became the first step to changing itMost importantly, I learned from Whealth that you have a choice in chronic pain.Now, I'm lifting again, playing sports with friends, saying YES to life… and on **8/23, I'm running my first marathon to the hospital where I had surgery—**to show people in chronic pain what's possible.Every day isn't easy. But living pain-free is no longer the goal. Being stronger than yesterday is.Our Free Low back relief series: https://www.spreadwhealth.com/free-low-back-programOur FREE Hypermobility guide: https://spreadwhealth.com/hypermobility-free-resourcesChapters00:00 From Semi-Pro Athlete to Chronic Pain07:30 Disc Herniations, Sciatica, and Dropping Out15:00 How Pain Hijacked My Identity and Relationships22:30 The Injury That Came From a Chiropractor30:00 MRI Results, Surgery Pressure, and Doubt37:30 Why Taking Responsibility Was the Turning Point45:00 How the Whealth Program Changed My Mindset52:30 It Wasn't a Magic Fix — But It Was Progress1:00:00 How I Overcame Flare-Ups and Kept Going1:07:30 The Cost of Surgery vs. the Value of Whealth1:15:00 What Holistic Healing Actually Looks Like1:22:30 Why I Finally Started Therapy (and Why It Helped)1:30:00 Back Pain Forums, Reddit, and the Harm of Over-Googling1:37:30 How to Tune Into Your Body and Block Out Noise1:45:00 Advice to Anyone Facing Chronic or Mental Pain1:52:30 What Life Looks Like Now — and Why I'm Grateful

Welcome to a very special episode of All the Feelings, brought to you by REM sleep, tennis elbow, and the visceral horror of trying to put on socks like you're still in your 30s.This week, Pete and Tommy are pulling a two-for-one special: first, they dive into the dreamscape of adult anxiety—why our nighttime brains love to drop us in college final exams we never studied for and why Tommy keeps losing his car in a parking garage that exists only in the astral plane. Then, they shift to the nighttime betrayals of the body: the mysterious transformation from human being to fragile pile of orthopedic complaints, where simply “sleeping” can result in injuries typically reserved for Olympic gymnastics.Along the way, we get hot tips from Tommy's therapist (shout-out to Bonnie!), dream science from the BBC, and Pete's personal musculoskeletal origin story—which involves surprise vertebra fusion, leg-length inequality, and an orthotic insert named Steve. There's also a powerful case made for the humble foam roller, a pony running off with Tommy's Mazda, and a rare Greek myth about moon-gazing lovers that ends, predictably, in a curse.If you've ever woken up more injured than you were when you went to bed, if you've ever texted your group chat just to be out-sympathied by someone who dislocated their shoulder sneezing, or if you've ever been haunted by the ghost of your own plantar fascia, this one's for you.Support the show at allthefeelings.fun and become a Feeling Friend today—for early episodes, bonus content, and a front-row seat to Pete's ever-expanding sneaker collection.

✅ Watch the MASTERCLASS on Low Back Pain & Sciatica.https://visit.shapeshiftwellness.com/bbp-masterclass-5.Fear of pain is more disabling than pain itself. With chronic low back pain and sciatica it's natural to be afraid of flare ups. It's natural to want to protect your spine from reinjury. You've been told to fear your spine, and you've been told your discs are fragile. The truth is the body is incredibly resilient and adaptable. Healing is possible. We need to know how to push into a little discomfort without overdoing it in order to recover from chronic back pain or sciatica and get active again through exercise. This video explains how to do this...#lowbackpain #lowbackpainrelief#lowbackpainexercises #discherniation #sciaticarelief#sciatica #sciaticatreatment

Austin was just 18 when doctors told him he'd never lift over 50 pounds again. Doctors told him surgery was inevitable.Diagnosed with two disc bulges (L5-S1 + L4-L5) and sciatica, he faced constant back pain and the looming pressure of surgery. He tried physical therapy, YouTube rehab videos, injections, and everything the traditional system had to offer but nothing worked.Then he found the Limitless Program and was pain-free in 5 weeks (program here: https://spreadwhealth.com/limitless-program)In this episode, Austin shares how he completely rewired his mindset around pain and movement. He breaks down what Limitless taught him that PT and YouTube never could - like how pain is information, why there's no one “right” way to move, and how he stopped living in fear of his body.What started with being able to load the dishwasher pain-free turned into walking 9+ miles a day at Disney, reclaiming his lifting goals, and helping others do the same as a strength and conditioning coach.Topics covered:L5-S1 disc herniation and chronic back painHow to heal without surgeryWhy physical therapy and YouTube rehab failedThe mindset shift that changed everythingHow Limitless gave Austin his life backFear of movement vs. confidence through guidanceHow pain is just information — not a life sentenceIf you're searching for:-How to fix an L5-S1 disc bulge naturally-Healing sciatica without surgery-Back pain rehab that actually works-Why physical therapy didn't work for me-How to stop fearing pain and start healing-Functional rehab for athletes-Real stories from people who avoided spine surgery…this episode is for you.Our Free Low back relief series: https://www.spreadwhealth.com/free-low-back-programOur FREE Hypermobility guide: https://spreadwhealth.com/hypermobility-free-resourcesChapters00:00 Doctors Said I'd Need Surgery01:42 What the MRI Showed: L5-S1 Disc Bulge03:05 “Surgery, surgery, surgery”05:53 Walking Out on Traditional Healthcare07:50 “I Might Never Back Squat Again”09:15 Depression, Isolation, and Daily Struggles12:00 Finding the Limitless Program13:40 First Big Win: Loading the Dishwasher Without Pain15:43 Pain Sucks Physically — But Destroys You Mentally17:57 “Everything I Have I Attribute to Limitless”24:45 I Couldn't Even Drive or Go to the Store44:11 I Don't Fear Pain Anymore — I Fix It1:05:11 Disney Trip I Thought I'd Miss — I Walked 9 Miles a Day

The early hours of the day are often when disc-related back pain is worst. Why? Because your spine is more sensitive after hours of inactivity. But doing the wrong morning stretches can actually make it worse — increasing pressure on your discs and irritating nearby nerves, especially if you're dealing with sciatica or degenerative disc issues. In this video, I'll guide you through a gentle, intentional morning mobility routine designed to: - Reduce disc pressure at L4-L5 and L5-S1- Calm an overactive pain system through specific movements that target the nervous system- Restore flexibility and mobility without triggering flare-ups- Create a healing environment for long-term recovery This routine is based on the Hybrid Relief Method — a neuro-mechanical system I use with students to move from constant flare-ups to confident movement. We don't just “loosen tight muscles.” We retrain the brain and body to feel safe again — using desensitization strategies that blend pain science, biomechanics, and graded exposure. Perfect for:- L4-L5 disc bulge exercises- L5-S1 herniation mobility routines- Sciatica relief in the morning- Safe spinal decompression exercises- Morning stiffness and low back pain sufferers- Avoiding aggressive stretches that can worsen disc pain If you've been told your pain is “just something you'll have to live with”… This routine is proof that movement can be medicine — when it's done right.

Sciatic nerve pain can be caused by a protruded disc, scar tissue on the nerve root, arthritis, an injury, or extended periods of sitting. Poor posture, excess driving, and aging can also contribute to the problem.Inversion uses the weight of your upper body to pull down on your lower back, creating negative pressure and increasing blood flow. This also breaks up adhesions and scar tissue. For the quickest lower back pain relief, try intermittent inversion traction. This involves inverting your body for 1 to 2 minutes and then repeatedly returning to an upright position. It can significantly reduce sciatic nerve pain by targeting the nerve, disc, scar tissue, and blood flow all at once.Research has shown that inversion therapy increases flexibility, reduces the risk of surgery for sciatica, and can relieve lower back pain better than medication. If you have high blood pressure, glaucoma, or heart problems, check with your doctor before doing inversion therapy. Start slow with inversion therapy. Begin with a gentle angle of 15–30 degrees for just 1–2 minutes, once or twice a day for the first week. Gradually work up to 5 minutes at a time (in 1-minute intervals) at a 60-degree angle over the next 1–2 weeks. After 3–4 weeks, you can try full inversion for 15–20 minutes, broken into 2-minute intervals, three to four times per week.Intermittent inversion traction will leave you feeling taller with less sciatic nerve pain. You'll also feel like you've had a fantastic stretch! Other ways to eliminate sciatica pain include:•Following a low-carb ketogenic diet•Take 20,000 to 30,000 IU of vitamin D3 and 400 mg of magnesium glycinate (include vitamin K2)•Eliminate omega-6 seed oils from your diet•Perform myofascial stretching You can also perform sciatica stretches without an inversion table! Try the child's pose with blankets, a wall-assisted leg-up stretch, or lying spinal decompression with a stability ball for sciatic nerve pain relief. Swimming can also be very therapeutic.
