The Stool struggles when it comes to the ‘must win' term….but it's believable that this team could have visions of last year as their fanbase does of things going bad once they get to a 5th win We made fun of the Wildcats earlier this season (and rightfully so), but they now sit at 5-2 overall and 3-1 in B1G play…and just shutout Purdue, 19-0, on Saturday, after winning at Penn State the weekend before. They also rushed 50 times for 232 yards in the win, and now face a Husker team who struggles to stop the run. Nebraska early favorites by 7.5 points…hmmm…  Show Sponsored by MIDWEST BANKOur Sponsors:* Check out Avocado Green Mattress: https://avocadogreenmattress.com* Check out Hims: https://hims.com/EARLYBREAK* Check out Infinite Epigenetics: https://infiniteepigenetics.com/EARLYBREAK* Check out Uncommon Goods: https://uncommongoods.com/EARLYBREAKAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Work 1:1 with Colleen to heal your acne here.What if your acne isn't really about your skin at all?In this episode, I'm joined by Colleen Clesen, an aesthetician with a background in nutrition and dietetics. After struggling with her own breakouts and realizing how limited both dermatology and standard aesthetics training were, she went back to school to fill in the missing piece. Now she helps women connect the dots between acne, hormones, gut health, and daily skincare.We get into why gut health is usually the first place to look, what stool tests actually reveal, and how inflammation in the body shows up on your face. We also talk about the mistakes most people make with their skincare routines, why supporting the skin barrier matters as much as internal work, and how the liver and bile clearance play a critical role in clearing acne. It's an honest look at what really drives breakouts and what can actually help.You'll Learn:[00:00] Introduction[01:00] The real reason Colleen became an aesthetician[04:00] Why acne isn't just a skin issue but a red flag of internal imbalance[05:00] Gut-first: the surprising reason location of breakouts doesn't matter[07:00] Stool test markers that reveal hidden inflammation, estrogen problems, and acne triggers[14:00] Scalp flare-ups as a signal your gut and immune system are exhausted[17:00] The one simple thing Colleen has clients add to their diet that quickly improves skin and hormones[21:00] Why most acne products wreck the skin barrier and what to do instead[32:00] The truth about beef tallow on acne-prone skin[47:00] How sluggish liver detox and bile flow recirculate hormones and fuel breakouts[59:00] The first step Colleen recommends if you can only change one thingResources Mentioned:Psyllium Husk Powder | WebsiteKossma Squalane Oil | WebsiteKossma Cleansing Gel | WebsiteRed Light Face Mask | WebsiteGreen Envee Firm Collagen Gel Masque | WebsiteGreen Envee Rejuvenate Brightening Enzyme Masque | WebsiteClearstem Aloe Based Moisturizer, Hydraglow | WebsiteCeraVe | WebsiteNuDerma Professional High Frequency Wand | WebsiteCosmo Cleansing Gel | WebsiteLymphatic Course for Head & Neck | WebsiteHormone Healing podcast episode on Intro to Lymph Flow with Leah | WebsiteWork 1:1 with Colleen to heal your acne here.Get Instant access to the FREE Functional Thyroid Series here.Find more from Amanda:Hormone Healing RD | InstagramHormone Healing RD | WebsiteHormone Healing RD | FacebookHormone Healing RD | YouTubeHormone Healing RD | TikTo

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:    Yvonne: Just listened to a podcast in which the doctor was recommending taking a nicotine patch everyday - starting with 1mg for 7 days and then 3 mg everday after that - supposed to be good for a variety of things but he mainly takes it to avoid getting viruses. Your thoughts on this. NOTE: You many not want to read this next sentence.                                                                                                 Sheena: Hi Dr. C! Hope you and your team are well. I'm from Canada and went for recent bloodwork and my WBC is 3.8 (I think in US measurements it is 3800). All other markers for CBC are good). I don't have any symptoms of low WBC nor do I have an autoimmune disease. This is the third year in a row my WBC has been low. Should I be concerned? Is there something I can do to help increase it? Any tests I can run? Does this mean my body cant fight infections and/or (God forbid) I get cancer? Looking forward to hearing anything you can suggest or recommend. Thank you!                                                Tricia: Hello Dr. Cabral - Ever since I was a child, I would never just get a "cold". Those little colds would turn into bronchitis or whooping cough. I would be sick for two weeks from cold induced asthma. As I've gotten older, my asthma has gotten much better but what hasn't changed is when I get a cold, I always need prednisone for me to get better. I'm 55 year old female and have been hard working hard on my health and I don't want to continue this cycle with prednisone. I feel there is something wrong and this isn't normal. Can you give me your opinion and what you think I need to work on to try to avoid this from happening. I typically get sick once a year. Any advice is helpful! I am currently taking many of your supplements to achieve my wellness journey! Thank you so much!                                                                Sheena: Hi Dr. C! Hope you and your team are well. I'm a 45 yo female and have started taking creatine monohydrate because I heard all good things. I take it everyday, first thing in the morning, in my protein shake or in my coffee but I'm noticing loose stool. Is this normal? Am I taking too much (5gl)? Do I need to ease into it? Does it benefit women in perimenopause? Is it better to take before, during or after a workout? I've listened to all your podcasts that you discuss creatine but I'm still confused. Looking forward to hearing your suggestions and recommendations. Thx in advanced for your help!                                                                                                                                                                                       Bettina: Hi Dr. Cabral. What are your thoughts on specialized lipedema surgery, like the one Dr. performs in Madrid? I follow his clinic on Instagram and have heard positive things about it, as well as from some clinics in Germany where lipedema is acknowledged.     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/3529 - - - 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?

The Stool has had Oregon at No. 1 the last few weeks and that won't change now with their win over Penn State, but Ohio State's defense looks incredible so far in putting them at No. 2 in our standings.

The Groom of the Stool proves to be a rewarding medieval profession, and milk chugging proves to be a terrible hobby. And after all that, who's hungry? Roadkill is on the menu.

What if your bloating, fatigue, or constipation isn't just “gut-related”… but a thyroid clue?Dr. Heather Finley explains why low stomach acid, sluggish bile flow, and post-food poisoning symptoms can be red flags in thyroid cases. She shares how conventional approaches miss the deeper causes behind SIBO, constipation, and nutrient deficiencies and how gut issues can slow thyroid hormone conversion. We also touch on practical tools like stool testing, mineral analysis, and even burp tests that offer insight when standard labs fall short.

Her antibodies were high, her gut was off and surgery was on the table. So she started asking what was really driving her symptoms.Alexandria was told she had the antibodies for both Graves' and Hashimoto's in 2017 and initially followed conventional advice, including methimazole. But after facing the possibility of thyroid removal, she explores deeper root causes. This health audit traces the progress she's made with dietary changes, gut support, and lifestyle shifts and the imminent questions as she prepares for a future pregnancy. We discuss why her antibody levels dropped, where she's still seeing symptoms, and what steps might help her move forward without fully relying on medication.Managing your thyroid but curious about alternative support options?

Stool testing technology has advanced rapidly in recent years, with newer methods like PCR and whole-genome sequencing offering faster and more precise insights into the gut microbiome. These innovations have transformed how clinicians approach gut health, allowing for more targeted interventions. However, older technologies—such as microscopy, culture, and enzyme-based assays—still play a valuable role. These methods provide functional insights that molecular tools may miss, such as direct observation of parasites or assessment of digestive markers. The most comprehensive labs recognize that no single method gives the full picture. Instead, combining the strengths of both modern and traditional techniques ensures more accurate, clinically meaningful results. In this episode, we dive into the pros and cons of different laboratory methodologies used in stool testing—from culture and microscopy to PCR and advanced sequencing. We break down how these choices impact accuracy, sensitivity, and clinical usefulness. You'll also learn why Genova Diagnostics stands out for its integrative, evidence-based approach, combining multiple testing methods to deliver the most comprehensive and clinically actionable results available.

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: Thank you Dr Cabral for all you do. I'd like for you to read this question to yourself before reading out loud, to some people this could be disgusting. What can we learn from our stools size, color, texture, smells, amount, frequency?                          Spencer: I've been experiencing shakiness, jitteriness for a decent amount of years now. I had some extended chronic stress. I ran the big 5 recently. My adrenals were tanked and I likely have some fungal/yeast/bacterial overgrowths based on my OAT. I tried the CBO two years ago, but my body was just too burnt out and stressed that no protocol would work. I've started working on nervous system and therapy, which have been helping a ton. I plan to do to CBO again at the end of the year. I also had some mycotoxin markers elevated (mostly the black mold one) likely from my job, which I still have one more year at so I don't want to focus too much on it. Do you have any advice for me in the meantime? I think more frequent smaller meals could help, but my diet is limited because of sibo and gut issues…               Rachel: Hi Dr. Cabral, Over the past 12-20 months I've notice my mother (72) has this ongoing sort of this dry throat combination that results in coughing if she does not continue having lozenges in the morning & throughout the day. She a drink ks water& coffee in the mornings & I day is pretty well hydrated. This was never reoccurring issue until recent, I've tried to tell her body may be telling her something. What do you think it could be? & what would you recommend to a family memo? I also worry eating these ricola lozenges everyday is masking the issue & potentially disrupting her mouth/gut microbiome like say the wrong toothpaste would. Thoughts?                                                                                             Rachel: Hi Dr. Cabral, Can you give us a brief breakdown on if we should really be concerned about high cholesterol anymore if we don't have other contraindications? I know statins are a billion dollar industry & really don't have much efficacy. My mom is 72 & her bloodwork came back with LDL around 163. She is active, always doing yard work, has been lifting 3x a week for the last 2 years & eats a whole foods diet, high protein diet, barely anything processed. She sleeps great & feels good. Her only health concern is osteoporosis. I don't believe she should worry about this factor, but for years she has seen the headlines about high cholesterol so it's difficult to change her outlook. What would you say to her if she was your mom?                                                                                                                                                               Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral - Thank you for all that you and your amazing team do for our health community. You are my go-to and the one I trust with all my health questions. My question has to do with Botox and fillers that so many young and older women seem to have become so captivated by and are convinced this is how they retain a youthful look. I have never tried it and have no intention of doing so, but know so many who have and I'm concerned for them. Their facial features - eyes, cheekbones, lips, etc., just no longer look natural at all. I assume once they start this routine, they have to continue it to maintain the effects (even though they don't realize they are changing their looks). What are the chemicals in Botox and these fillers and what are the long term effects of them?           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/3424 - - - 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?
