You'll learn how to identify the telltale signs of biofilms, the steps to our proven treatment protocol, and discover the dietary and supplement strategies that support lasting gut recovery. Our approach is backed by our recently published study, Biofilm Disruption Enhances Antimicrobial Therapy for Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth and Intestinal Methanogen Overgrowth. Read the full findings here:https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41394228/.    If you've struggled with recurring SIBO and felt like nothing works, this episode will guide you to effective solutions.

Your Nervous System Is Killing You — Not Your Cholesterol You bought the wearable. You're tracking your steps. You got your cholesterol checked and everything came back fine. So why does your body still feel like it's running a race it never signed up for? Here's what nobody is telling you: 30 to 40% of heart attacks have nothing to do with clogged arteries. They happen because the nervous system is broken. And yours might be — right now — without a single symptom to show for it. Dr. Terri sits down with Dr. Jim LaValle — naturopathic doctor, pharmacist, and one of the most decorated researchers in integrative medicine — for a conversation that reframes everything you thought you knew about heart health. Recorded live at an EVEXIAS training event, this episode breaks down the nervous system's role as the hidden driver behind cardiovascular disease, chronic illness, weight gain, gut dysfunction, and hormone breakdown. This one is for anyone who feels constantly wired, can't fully recover, or has been told their heart looks fine while their body is screaming otherwise. What you'll discover: Why 30–40% of heart attacks are nervous system events — not plaque events The three numbers you can measure at home today that reveal your true cardiovascular risk What heart rate variability actually means and why yours is probably too low Why your resting heart rate above 62 is quietly increasing your cardiac risk with every point How shallow breathing keeps your nervous system locked in fight or flight all day The gut-brain-heart connection: why sympathetic dominance is driving SIBO, H. Pylori, and dysbiosis Why postmenopausal women are dying of heart disease at higher rates than men — and what estradiol has to do with it Box breathing: the free three-minute protocol that reversed a CEO's ulcerative colitis in one year The supplement stack Dr. LaValle actually uses — phospholipids, adaptogens, magnesium, Theanine, and more Why hydrogen inhalation took his sleep efficiency from 92% to 96% and added an hour of sleep The bottom line: You don't need a cardiologist to start protecting your heart today. You need to understand your nervous system — and this episode is where that starts. The Dr. Terri Show is presented by EVEXIAS Health Solutions.

#312 Shame around our bodies — including gut symptoms like bloating and constipation — can quietly erode desire, intimacy, and our relationship with ourselves. In this episode, I'm joined by Rebecca Levy, Somatic Sexologist, Sex Educator and Relationship Counsellor, to explore the hidden link between gut health, body shame and sexual desire. We discuss how nervous system dysregulation impacts both digestion and desire, what somatic sexology actually is, and simple practices you can start today to rebuild body awareness and reconnect with pleasure. If you've ever felt disconnected from your body or struggled with intimacy because of how you feel in your skin — this one is for you.   CONNECT WITH REBECCA LEVY Website: www.rebeccalevy.com.au  Find her on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rebeccalevy_somaticsexologist/   WORK WITH LYNDA Book a 1:1 Consultation: https://www.lyndagriparic.com/book-an...

In this episode, Dr. Jockers explains why acid reflux is often a low stomach acid problem, not a "too much acid" problem, and how that mismatch leads people to chase symptoms instead of fixing the cause.   You'll learn how stress, eating on the go, and poor vagal tone can reduce stomach acid, slow digestion, and create pressure that forces acid up into the esophagus.   Dr. Jockers also walks through the most common hidden triggers, H. pylori, hiatal hernia, food sensitivities, histamine intolerance, and SIBO, plus simple ways to start narrowing down what's driving your reflux.

#311 If you've been drinking the water, eating the fibre, taking the  magnesium and prebiotics — and you're still constipated — this episode is for you. Chronic constipation is rarely just a lifestyle problem. In most cases, there is a deeper, physiological root cause that hasn't been properly investigated. In this solo episode, Lynda walks you through five of the most commonly missed drivers of chronic constipation, what the research says, and why getting the right investigation changes everything. You'll discover: - Why do methane-producing gut organisms (IMO) physically slow down your bowel movement — and why fibre and resistant starch can make it worse - Dyssynergic defecation — when your pelvic floor tightens instead of releasing - Secondary medical causes that are frequently overlooked, including thyroid dysfunction and medications - What advanced microbiome testing reveals that standard tests simply miss - How chronic stress, nervous system dysregulation, and trauma keep you stuck - Why chronic constipation has been linked to cognitive decline and can precede Parkinson's disease motor symptoms by 20 or more years If you've been at this for a long time without answers, this episode  was made for you.

Many people with IBS are told either “It's just stress.” or “Your anxiety is all about your gut.” A large, long-term population study followed people for 7 years to answer look at whether IBS causes mental health issues, or the other way round. The answer is more nuanced, so this week I'm talking about the connection between the brain and gut.

MCAS. POTS. Hypermobility. GI symptoms that don't quite fit the usual boxes.   On this episode of The Gut Show, Dr. Alexis Cutchins joins us to unpack what cardiology has to do with GI—and why these systems are far more connected than most people realize.   We dive into the emerging overlap between cardiology, gastroenterology, and immune-driven conditions, exploring why these patterns so often show up together, what red flags clinicians should be watching for, and why GI symptoms may actually start far beyond the gut—especially when dysautonomia, heart palpitations, dizziness, and persistent fatigue are part of the picture.   Mentioned in this episode:  MASTER Method Membership FREE IBS Warrior Summit Take the quiz: What's your poop personality?

Or maybe you've never had testing confirm it, but you're wondering if you may have low progesterone based on your symptoms — insomnia, anxiety, cycle issues, fertility struggles. Or maybe you've tried all. the. things. for low progesterone in women — supplements, birth control, natural treatments, cycle syncing — but nothing has actually changed… and you're left wondering what else there is to do?

In this episode, I'm breaking down:The most common low progesterone signs and symptoms in womenWhy low progesterone isn't a root causeWhy birth control, IUDs, and even “natural” progesterone support miss the mark to healing your WHOLE bodyThe 6 real root causes quietly driving low progesteroneAnd the 5 tests you need to do find your specific root causes - and naturally bring progesterone back up And one more thing — for this entire Real Root Cause Series, I've created visual guides to help you see the big picture clearly.

Doing everything "right" for your Hashimoto's but still feeling stuck with fatigue, brain fog, and stubborn weight? The missing piece might be sluggish bile flow—and most doctors never test for it.Dr. Anshul Gupta reveals the hidden connection between bile flow and Hashimoto's thyroiditis that's driving inflammation, nutrient deficiencies, and autoimmune flares. Bile is your body's main detox pathway, critical for absorbing fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K), eliminating excess estrogen, and preventing gut infections like SIBO and leaky gut.Whether you have a gallbladder or not, bile dysfunction blocks thyroid hormone production, worsens estrogen dominance, and perpetuates the autoimmune cycle. Learn why standard liver tests miss bile problems and how the GI-MAP stool test reveals fat malabsorption, beta-glucuronidase activity, and thyroid antibody triggers.Discover natural solutions: bitter foods (arugula, dandelion greens, and artichokes), healthy fats, fiber-rich foods, and targeted supplements including ox bile, taurine, magnesium, milk thistle, and digestive bitters. Plus castor oil packs, movement, stress management, and hydration protocols.This is the root-cause approach to reversing Hashimoto's inflammation naturally—starting with the bile-thyroid-gut connection no one talks about

Jared explains biofilms in simple terms, why they matter for long-term wellness, and how botanical formulas like Biocidin are used to help maintain a balanced microbiome throughout the body. From the mouth and throat to the digestive tract and beyond, this episode explores real-world applications, research insights, and practical considerations for using multi-botanical support as part of a comprehensive wellness strategy.

You'll learn how she approached her diagnosis without fear and why slowing down to seek wisdom changed everything. This conversation reveals what it looks like to trust God while taking bold action.   You'll discover how immune dysfunction, chronic infections, parasites, and toxic burden can create the perfect storm for cancer development.

In deze aflevering duiken Albert en Tonny in een onderwerp dat steeds meer aandacht krijgt, maar nog vaak wordt onderschat: je darmen als tweede brein.Heb je weleens gedacht: “Mijn buik wist het al”?Blijkt dat daar meer waarheid in zit dan je denkt.Ze onderzoeken wat er wetenschappelijk bekend is over de verbinding tussen je darmen en je brein. Hoe 80–90% van de signalen via de nervus vagus van je buik naar je hoofd gaan. Hoe dopamine en serotonine grotendeels in je darmen worden aangemaakt. En wat dat betekent voor je stemming, motivatie en zelfs je succes.Tonny deelt openhartig over zijn darmproblemen (SIBO) van het afgelopen jaar, de impact op zijn energie en gemoedstoestand, en wat hij leerde over voeding, stress en acceptatie. Albert verbindt het met de diepere laag: opnemen, verwerken en loslaten: fysiek en mentaal.In deze aflevering hoor je onder andere:- Waarom je darmen écht als tweede brein functioneren- Hoe je microbioom je humeur beïnvloedt- De relatie tussen stress en spijsvertering- Hoe voeding je letterlijk depressief kan maken (of juist energie geeft)- De vier vragen rondom eten: wat, hoe, wanneer en waarom- Waarom succes weinig betekent als je lichaam niet meewerkt- Wat je bedrijf en je spijsvertering met elkaar gemeen hebben Ontvang gratis de Masterclass met onze 6 grootste levenslessen en doorbraken t.w.v. 197 euro via https://psychologievansucces.nl/gratis Vind ons ook op YouTube, voor reacties en korte inspiratiestukjes uit de podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@psychologievansucces

Over 750,000 gallbladder removal surgeries happen every year in the U.S.—but almost no one talks about what happens next. In this episode of The Health Revival Show, we break down the real consequences of cholecystectomy, including bile acid diarrhea, bile reflux, SIBO, chronic constipation, fatty liver disease, stubborn belly weight, hormone imbalance, and metabolic dysfunction. You’ll learn: Why the gallbladder is NOT the root cause How bile regulates digestion, detoxification, insulin signaling, and immune function The link between gallbladder removal, estrogen shifts, perimenopause, and pregnancy Why IBS after surgery is often misdiagnosed bile dysfunction What to do if you’re dealing with urgent diarrhea, reflux, bloating, or fat intolerance If you’ve had your gallbladder removed—or are considering surgery—this episode could change everything. *** Want to break through your weight loss resistance?

In this episode of the Functionally Enlightened Podcast, Sharon Surita, PhD, BCFDNP interviews Casey Hibbard, founder of Rebuilding My Health, about her path from autoimmunity and inflammatory arthritis to recovery using a functional, root-cause approach.After conventional answers fell short, Casey explored anti-inflammatory nutrition, gut healing protocols, and detoxification strategies—and worked methodically through underlying gut infections and overgrowth patterns, including SIBO, H. pylori, Candida, and parasites. We also unpack the often-overlooked pieces that make healing sustainable: mindset shifts, stress regulation, community support, and reducing environmental toxin load (including mold exposure).This conversation is for anyone navigating chronic illness who feels overwhelmed, stuck, or discouraged—because Casey's story (and the patterns she's seen across hundreds of recovery interviews) reinforces a powerful message: healing is possible when you support the whole system, not just the symptoms.In this episode, we cover:Casey's autoimmune + inflammatory arthritis recovery storyWhy gut healing often becomes the “hub” of chronic illness progressLessons from treating SIBO, H. pylori, Candida, and parasites step-by-stepHow paleo and anti-inflammatory eating can reduce systemic inflammationMold exposure, environmental inputs, and why detox is more than supplementsMindset, nervous system regulation, and finding the right community supportThe most “universal” healing levers Casey sees across chronic conditionsFree Resource: The Top 8 Steps That Helped ©Casey Hibbard Takeaways from “Overcoming Autoimmunity” --- https://rebuildingmyhealth.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Top-8-download-1.pdf

Struggling with weight gain, hormone imbalances, and constipation? These aren't separate issues—they're all connected, and they all start in your gut. In this episode, I'm breaking down the relationship between gut health, hormones, and weight loss that most doctors won't tell you about.You'll learn why constipation causes estrogen to recirculate in your body, how backed-up toxins slow your metabolism, the gut-thyroid connection, and why "eat more fiber" actually makes things worse when you have gut dysbiosis.If you're ready to stop micromanaging your hormones and start addressing the root cause, this episode is for you.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy adding HRT on top of poor gut health is like pouring water into an overflowing bathtubWhy backed-up toxins slow your metabolism and make weight loss nearly impossibleWhat constipation actually is (hint: it's not just going less than once every 3 days)Why adding more fiber makes bloating and constipation worse if you have dysbiosisHow healing your gut naturally balances hormones and supports weight loss—without dietingTracy's story: how she stopped HRT, healed her gut, and lost two pant sizes in 12 weeksKey Takeaways[04:37] Tracy's StoryMy client Tracy came to me frustrated after starting HRT (testosterone pellet) and feeling worse—not sleeping, bloated, gaining weight, and reacting to all foods. Her GI-MAP revealed SIBO, low digestive enzymes, and poor hormone detoxification. Once we healed her gut, she didn't need to go back on HRT. Her energy returned, bloating disappeared, sleep improved, and she lost over two pant sizes without counting calories.[15:15] How the Estrobolome Works[17:42] Constipation = Estrogen Recirculation[19:47] The Gut-Thyroid Connection[22:08] Backed-Up Toxins Slow Metabolism[13:15] What Constipation Actually Is[14:15] Why "Eat More Fiber" Doesn't Work[29:45] What to Do InsteadYou don't need to micromanage hormones, count calories, or obsess over macros.

Send a textMost people come to my work when they've hit an impasse.They've tried the diets. The protocols. The lab tests. The supplement stacks. They've run parasite cleanses, gut protocols, detoxes, hormone panels, food sensitivity tests — sometimes for years. And while pieces helped, nothing rebuilt their body in a way that felt stable or sustainable.In this episode, I'm naming what I see happening underneath that cycle.Many people aren't failing at healing. They're trying to force coherence without first restoring capacity.When we chase symptoms, isolate labels like SIBO, MCAS, histamine intolerance, adrenal fatigue, or hormone imbalance, and layer interventions onto an already overwhelmed system, the body adapts — until it can't.Your gut, nervous system, immune system, fascia, hormones, and mineral terrain don't operate as separate departments. They adapt together. And when we treat one piece without reorganizing the terrain underneath it, nothing holds.Real healing requires a parasympathetic pace.Your gut lining does not regenerate in fight-or-flight. Tight junctions don't seal under chronic stress. Missing keystone bacteria don't recolonize in a system that feels unsafe. Minerals don't rebalance when your nervous system is braced.In this episode, I walk through:Why elimination diets often narrow resilience instead of restoring itWhy protocol cycling creates fragmentationWhat Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) actually reveals about long-term stress patternsWhy gut remodeling only happens in contextWhy minerals are foundational to nervous system and microbiome repairWhat mentorship-based healing looks like instead of hand-off protocolsI share how I structure my Minerals & Microbes program — not as a quick fix, but as paced terrain work that builds capacity over time.This episode is for you if:You feel like you've “done everything” and are still stuckYou're burned out on protocolsYou want to rebuild instead of manageYou're ready for coherence, not more intensityHealing isn't about surrendering authority.It's about reclaiming it — with guidance.If this conversation brings relief instead of urgency, you're probably in the right place.You can learn more about working with me through my Minerals & Microbes program on my website.Support the show Support the podcast Mineral Foundations Course HERE Minerals & Microbes package HERE Rewilded Wellness program HERE Join my newsletter HERE If you are interested in becoming a client and have questions, reach out by emailing me: lydiajoyme@gmail.com Find me on Instagram : @ Lydiajoy.me

GLP-1 medications like semaglutide, tirzepatide, and emerging GLP-3 drugs are changing weight loss and metabolic health — but what happens when side effects start showing up? In this episode, Liz & Becca break down the real causes behind common GLP-1 side effects including digestive issues, diarrhea, constipation, sleep disruption, blood sugar crashes, body odor changes, microbiome shifts, bile flow dysfunction, and detox overload. You'll learn why GLP-1 medications slow gastric emptying, how they impact bile flow and estrogen clearance, why some people experience microbiome imbalance or SIBO-like symptoms, and how foundational health (liver, gut, electrolytes, protein intake, muscle mass) determines whether GLP-1 works for you or against you. If you're using GLP-1s, considering them, or struggling with side effects — this episode gives you a functional medicine roadmap for safer, smarter use. *** CONNECT:

In this episode, Dr. Stephen Cabral joins Doug Larson and Dr. Mike Lane to break down how he went from a decade-long "idiopathic illness" in his teens to building one of the biggest health education platforms in the space, including more than 3,600 daily podcast episodes. Cabral shares the turning points in his own recovery: years of heavy antibiotic exposure, chronic stress, gut dysbiosis (candida, H. pylori, SIBO), and even mercury accumulation from frequent tuna intake. That personal case study becomes the foundation for how he now thinks about root-cause medicine versus symptom suppression, and why conventional care often waits until labs fall out of range before acting. The conversation dives into Cabral's framework for how chronic issues typically develop: nervous system stress leads to endocrine disruption, which then cascades into immune dysfunction, often amplified by gut-driven inflammation. He explains a clear process-of-elimination approach to gut health, why bile flow and motility have become increasingly important as the science has evolved, and how stress management is often the missing link. Cabral also breaks down why resonance breathing can be one of the fastest ways to shift physiology, how he uses wearables like Oura and HRV tools without overwhelming clients, and why the best plan is always the one someone will actually follow. Finally, the group zooms out to the future of health and longevity. They discuss biological age testing, emerging longevity research, and the realities of training and recovery as you get older. Cabral shares how his practice balances structured lab testing, repeatable protocols, and ongoing accountability so clients don't just get a plan, but learn how to sustain results long term.

Would you believe that there's a medication that can quiet the constant mental chatter around food for the first time in your adult life, but it could also cause you to lose muscle, age your face, and trap you in a cycle that's hard to escape? Both of those are true. When a drug can help someone lose 50 pounds and get off diabetes medication, that's a miracle. But when that same drug leaves someone unable to eat, losing muscle, and facing a lifetime of injections just to maintain their weight—that's a conversation we truly need to have. So, today we're taking a deep dive into GLP-1s—Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and what's coming next. How to preserve muscle when taking GLP-1 medications Consume 1.2–1.6 g of protein per kilogram of body weight daily, spread across meals  Try to eat something containing 25–30 grams of protein within about two hours after doing a strength workout Consume easily digestible protein sources when your appetite is low (shakes, yogurt, collagen, or bone broth) Commit to doing resistance training at least two to three times a week Monitor your body composition for any early signs of muscle loss  Bio: Stephanie Gray Stephanie Gray, DNP, MS, ARNP, AGNP-C, ABAAHP, FAARFM, is a functional medicine provider helping men and women build sustainable, optimal health and longevity.

In this episode, Dr. Jockers explains how certain vegetables can lead to bloating and discomfort, particularly for those with small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO). He highlights the connection between oral bacteria, low stomach acid, and digestive distress caused by fermentable fibers in vegetables. You'll learn about the role of FODMAPs—fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols—and why they can trigger digestive issues like gas and bloating. Dr. Jockers shares which vegetables, like broccoli and cauliflower, are more likely to cause these symptoms. Dr. Jockers also offers practical advice on how to reduce bloating by following a low FODMAP diet. He discusses the benefits of carefully reintroducing certain foods to identify your personal tolerance levels and how to restore digestive balance.

Why You Should Listen:  In this episode, you will learn about the role of Body Ecology in Candida, Long COVID, viral illness, and autism. About My Guest: My guest for this episode is Donna Gates.  Donna Gates, MEd, ABAAHP is a pioneer in gut health, infections, and immunity.  Decades before it became mainstream, she was the first to teach about the extraordinary and complex world inside the gut, now known as the microbiome, and how it influences immunity, brain health, metabolism, and long-term wellness.  She is the founder of Body Ecology, a revolutionary system that introduced the first gluten-free, sugar-free, and dairy-free nutritional approaches, with a strategic focus on specific fermented foods to create a thriving inner ecosystem in the gut.  In her bestselling book, "The Body Ecology Diet", which has remained relevant for decades, Donna explains how to conquer Candida, restore microbial balance, and rebuild the immune system.  She reveals how the inner ecosystem is established at birth and how this process represents nature's original form of building a vibrant immune system.  By partnering with nature, rather than attempting to override it, we build true immune resilience, even in a toxic world where pathogens are a constant threat.  Her newest book, "Taming the Dragon: Body Ecology's Guide to Preventing and Treating Viral Infections", offers practical solutions for persistent viral illness, immune dysfunction, and long-haulers. Key Takeaways: What is the Body Ecology diet? What strategies can support optimizing Candida and the inner ecosystem? Can fermented foods be used in those with MCAS? How are conditions such as SIBO and SIFO approached? What was Donna's personal journey with Long COVID? What tools has Donna found helpful for regaining her health after COVID? How did SOT help Donna move past Lyme disease? What is the impact of spike proteins and how might they be mitigated? How can vascular health be optimized in the era of COVID? What strategies can support a robust immune system and minimize immunosenescence as people age? What role do chronic viruses have on health? Is it more important to boost or to modulate the immune system? How does the Cell Danger Response fit into the chronic illness discussion? What are some strategies for supporting the vagus nerve? What dietary changes are important when dealing with a viral condition? How do acidity and alkalinity play a role? What are some strategies for supporting detoxification? What has Donna seen over many years of working with children with autism? What is the Epigenetic Reset?

What if one of the most powerful tools for gut healing, immune resilience, and hormone balance has been hiding in plain sight? In this episode of The Hormone Genius Podcast, we're joined by Erica Diepersloot, co-founder of WonderCow Colostrum, to dive deep into the science and real-world benefits of bovine colostrum — a functional food that's quickly gaining attention in the gut-health and hormone space. Colostrum is the nutrient-dense “first milk” produced after birth, rich in immunoglobulins, growth factors, lactoferrin, and bioactive compounds that support intestinal repair and immune regulation. Erica breaks down why this ancestral superfood is having a modern comeback — and how it can be especially impactful for women dealing with gut dysfunction, chronic inflammation, and hormone imbalances. In this conversation, we explore: How gut health directly influences hormones, including cortisol, estrogen metabolism, and immune-driven inflammation The role of colostrum in supporting the gut lining, microbiome balance, and immune cell signaling Emerging research showing colostrum's effects on immune response, including studies examining how bovine colostrum influences immune cells when exposed to bacterial stressors Why colostrum may be beneficial for conditions like SIBO, infectious diarrhea, and gut permeability, based on in-vitro and clinical research How colostrum works differently than probiotics, and why it may help create a healthier environment for beneficial bacteria to thrive Erica also shares insights from published research highlighted through PubMed/NIH and peer-reviewed journals, including studies on colostrum's interaction with the microbiome and its protective effects against bacterial-induced intestinal damage. Whether you're navigating hormone imbalance, stubborn gut symptoms, or simply looking to strengthen your immune foundation, this episode offers a grounded, science-forward look at why colostrum is becoming a staple in functional health.

Tired of doing “everything right” and still feeling inflamed, foggy, and out of sync with your body? We dig into a clear, faith-forward plan to restore energy, steady hormones, and heal the gut using targeted, physician-grade supplements and practical daily habits. No fads. No hype. Just clean science, smart dosing, and tools you can actually stick with.We start by reframing the problem: modern food and stress deplete minerals, overwhelm the liver, and skew our fat balance. That's why stacked support works best. We unpack Hormone Tame as a five-in-one: activated B vitamins for methylation, mitochondrial nutrients for energy, and polyphenols that help metabolize estrogen so periods calm and mood steadies. Then we tackle the omega equation—why seed oils drive inflammation and how a high-purity omega-3, plus magnesium, can flip the script on aches, sleep, and resilience.From there, we build your gut plan. A medical-food style protein with L-glutamine soothes IBS and feeds the lining. Digestive Lift adds enzymes, gentle acid, and ox bile to prevent bloat and help you handle healthy fats. For microbiome balance, Biome Lift stabilizes daily while Spore Lift acts like a bouncer when SIBO or post-travel trouble hits. We also introduce a fiber you won't fear: a diverse prebiotic blend that increases short-chain fatty acids, nudges Akkermansia for metabolic health, and naturally boosts GLP-1 to curb cravings.Detox gets a reset with a true 3-2-1 approach—opening phase 3 and 2 before phase 1 so toxins exit rather than recirculate. Expect less bloat, brighter skin, and steadier energy when you rotate this seasonally and keep daily support with Slim Lift. If you're stepping down from GLP-1 meds or want a stimulant-free metabolism boost, MetaboLift pairs GLP-1 support with AMPK activation to quiet “food noise” and raise your burn without wrecking appetite or sleep.This is how faith, functional medicine, and simple choices meet: whole foods, better fats, prayer, rest, and supplements that respect how the body actually works. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs hope, and leave a review to help more women find real healing.✨ Join the EMPOWERED BY FAITH: 5 Days To A Lighter You Challenge!

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…   Spencer: Hello Dr. Cabral, I've followed you for some time, and have now read both of your books. It seems overall, you tend to recommend less animal foods in the diet. Not that you have anything against them per se, but its likely based on some of the research I'm sure youve looked at on longetvity as well as environmental and moral reasons. Intsead of consuming a lot of animals, you eat a lot of plants, and supplement your way to nutrients. This seems odd to me, although I understand the reasoining. I venture to say, there are so many things in animal foods we dont even know of yet, just like at one time we didnt know about b vitamins, or prebiotics in breast milk etc. It just seems like a modern of way making this work, avoiding the animal food and band aiding it with supplements. I get that the soil is deplted etc, but still. Can you clarify here. I know that wasn't Youve helped another person and your struggle wasnt for nothing.                                                Ashley: Hi Dr. Cabral - Great meeting you at RHS this year and thanks for all of your incredible work! My question is: do you have a lab/test you recommend for mold and mycotoxin testing outside of EquiLife? I am an IHP L2 based in Seattle, WA and  cannot obtain EquiLife tests in WA state still. In the past 18 months I have completed the CBO protocol twice to rid myself of SIBO, E. Coli and H. Pylori (including heal + seal post CBO) and have leveraged your protocols to rebalance my hormones after a partial thyroidectomy, however I still have persistent inflammation, puffiness in my face, post nasal drip and my H Pylori recently returned for the third time. I've also had new onset of hives that turn into pustules that antihistamines do not address. We had severe water damage in our home in 2022 (in our bedroom and attached bathroom) and I am wondering if mold or environmental issues are my true root cause given the work I've already done. I travel extensively overseas for work (2-3 weeks at a time) and symptoms are always better when I am away from my home. I am planning to have our house tested for mold but want to test my body too if you believe it is warranted. Any advice is appreciated as a next step - THANK YOU!                                                                                                                          Marissa: Hi Dr. Cabral!! I did your 14 day detox and loved it! Question, is Kachava protein brand clean?                                 Anonymous: Hi Dr. C  I did the SMMT in June,  cbo protocol, addressed low am cortisol and adrenal issues , did the mold prot.,  I do have lyme ebv, both no symptoms in a while.  Off HRT, numbers were very high,  doing estrogen sup and prog. supp.  dhea low ad u an supplementing with that.   T 4 optimal but T3 2.9 and not addressed on consult. Tsh 2.6 I've been doing the foundational protocol for a year now.  my chiro keeps saying to check my thyroid, he feels it.   I started daily thyroid support and i am one month in.   Im noticing so much skin sagging in the last year (using One Skin) and also my vision keeps getting worse quickly.  I also do the vision support   i went from looking like i was in my 40's when i was 50s  to looking sagging and old in my early 60s.  i feel so much better than i did but what's happening?  .  I use collagen, I eat sufficient protein, i train , all the boxes checked.  The only thing i did not do was HMProtocol   Mercury and Aluminum elevated  .057 and 1.04 but I wanted to take the mercury filling out before doing protocol.   i have another Stress mood metab.test also that im waiting on doing . Should i do it sooner. Everything else was not of that concern.  Any ideas or supplement suggestions?? my sleep has been much better as well.  it's very depressing when you feel you are addressing what you can address.  Thank you for all your guidance and support.      Darren: Good day Dr. Cabral. Hope all is well with you and family. Given your experience with TCM, what are your thoughts on the use of Polyrhachis Ant powder, He Shou Wu/Fo-Ti, Pine Pollen, Sichisandra extract and Pycnogenol (pine bark extract)? Of course it'd be too lengthy to go in detail on the weekend show but maybe consider a Friday review?
