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…   Matt: Hi Dr Cabral, I'm constantly trying to improve my sleep but can rarely ever get more than 6 to 6 1/2 hours consistently. If I go to bed earlier, I wake up earlier ready to go. Right now I'm taking 2g of taurine, balanced zinc, 500mg magnesium, 100mg theanine, 50mg Apagenin and 3g of glycine. I have no problem falling asleep but consistently wake up around 3-4am. I recently added some Inositol to help get back to sleep but I can't really remember the last time I went to sleep and woke up the next morning by my alarm clock. Just to note, I'm 45 with 3 kids that also like to pop in our room in the middle of the night. Any tips to help get that 7-8 hours I need?       Tricia: Hello Dr C! I'm 57 and I tested my estrogen and progesterone. I'm of course estrogen dominant. I started taking your progesterone support and gosh it is amazing! My sleep has gotten even better! My question is do you think I should take the estrogen supplement too to help balance the two? Are these usually lifetime supplements for post menopausal women? Thanks     Kevin: Just received my annual labs back for annual physical and total Cholesterol is 299, Triglycerides 70, HDL 105, LDL 180, ratio 3.8, and LDL Direct at 182. I have Hashimoto disease, candida for past couple of years and mycotoxins from mold exposure. I cant afford to move out of house so I'm still exposed. I had a functional doctor but can no longer afford the out of pocket expenses. I was on cholestramine powder along with binders but stopped doing them last year because not helping. I'm really worried about having stroke or heart attack. I don't know where to start anymore and been told without moving nothings going to work. What do you recommend I do.? I plan on purchasing Proteolytic Enzymes with Nattokinase to hopefully reduce plaque. What tests do you think would be best for me?       Sienna: Hi Dr. Cabral - hoping you can help! In a country where FM labs aren't an option + entering into mid-40's, surrounded by Perimenopause "fear". I have done your hormone HRA + apart from feeling like I get TRIGGERED a lot easier, I don't have more of the common symptoms (ie night sweats). My cycle the last 2 months was slightly longer but don't want to over think it. I am wondering if there are bloods that can help outline where we are in terms of our hormones (I know saliva is preferable)... I really want to support my hormones, and know you say we can do this naturally well into later life ie 60's! I know estrogen declines + ED is common - would appreciate markers to look at, ranges + if your wife couldn't test what you'd recommend for her :) Thank you for ALL you do! Sienna       Rianna: Hi Dr. Cabral! Sleep it's an area I am REALLY focused on supporting - we know when we are tired everything is harder ;-) & I am all about energy as I move towards my mid-40's.. I track my sleep on Garmin + know you mention Deep Sleep (90 mins) + Rem Sleep (2+ hours) as ideals, but I am no where near there consistently. The only time I get quite close is during my detox. My HRV has improved considerably (almost doubled) since Jan(through substantially reducing alcohol intake + focusing on sleep hygiene). I average on 7 - 7.5 hours sleep, mostly right through or brief wake, + mostly feel great/rested. My REM sleep this morning was 0 minutes (??) - is that reall even possible? 80 mins deep, 6.5 hrs"light" - how much attention would you give it if you feel recharged? Tips? Thx for all you do!     Thank you for tuning into this weekend's Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right!   - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3782 - - - 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?

Dr. Corey Schuler, PhD(c), FNP, DC, CNS, and director of medical affairs at Allergy Research Group, details his paper “Energy Allocation Resilience and Endocrine Integration” in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences. He introduces the Energy Allocation System (EAS), which emphasizes how the body allocates energy—not just produces it—and links many symptoms to impaired bioenergetics and resilience. They discuss mitochondria as energy generators and cellular signaling hubs, the integrated stress response and endocrine coordination (HPA axis, thyroid, gonads), and mitohormesis/eustress (exercise, fasting, heat/cold, circadian “zeitgebers”). Schuler explains nuanced testing for fatigue (diurnal cortisol, CGM patterns, thyroid markers including T3/reverse T3) and a case of a perimenopausal woman where oral contraceptives and cortisol dysregulation affected glucose patterns. They cover mitochondrial support (removing obstacles like pollutants/antibiotics, triglycerides, carnitine, dietary fats, micronutrients) and pacing/sequencing lifestyle interventions.

In this rewind episode Prof Clare Collins and Dr. Erin Clarke demystify blood cholesterol levels. They explain the different types of cholesterol in blood (Total, LDL, HDL cholesterol, Triglycerides) and what the level and ratios mean for heart health. They discuss how cholesterol levels relate to heart disease risk, the role of diet and exercise in managing risk, and why regular heart health checks are a good idea. They also highlight practical dietary interventions and resources available to help people improve heart health.Need a Personalised Nutrition Report?

Anthropic just touched a trillion dollar valuation on the secondary market. Their actual annualized revenue is 30 billion. The math says they need to grow revenue 30 times before the buyer sees a penny. Meanwhile a single mom in Canyon Country needs to sell her house and doesn't care about any of it. That's the show.Four blocks, twenty-five minutes.THE HOUSE. Last seven days in SCV residential. 77 new listings. 49 went pending. 79 price changes. Sellers are still a beat behind reality but closing the gap. Median price 745k to 855k depending on the source. 86 days on market. 97 percent list to sale ratio which means sellers are giving up 2.5 percent at the table on average. On a million dollar house that's 25 thousand walking out the door. The Memorial Day to 4th of July window is your sprint. Miss it and you're pricing into August competition.THE MACHINE. The Bloomberg circular deal map dropped this week. NVIDIA invests in OpenAI, OpenAI buys NVIDIA chips, NVIDIA books revenue, investors value NVIDIA higher. Same coin moves around the table four times and gets counted four times. The valuations are play money. The tools are real. A plumber in Sylmar dropped a voice agent on his line for 147 dollars a month and revenue jumped 30 percent in the first month because he stopped missing calls. That's the actual story.

My client Zohreh struggled for a number of years without sustained success in losing weight. She also was dealing with health issues like high cholesterol and has a strong family history of diabetes and heart attacks. On top of that, she juggles a full-time job with long commutes.   Yet, Zohreh wanted to make a shift - a REAL one - in her weight and health. So she did. She reached out to me and we began working together.   In this episode, we'll delve more into Zohreh's weight loss journey, her views on eating plant-based as a lifestyle after 9 months, her increased confidence when eating out and the role guided support played in her plant-based diet transition experience.

How Continuous Glucose Monitors Can Optimize Metabolic Health—and Where GLP-1 Drugs Fit: Emergency physician-turned-preventive/metabolic medicine specialist Dr. Paul Kolodzik of Metabolic MD reveals how continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) are a tool not only for diabetics but also for non-diabetics and pre-diabetics to personalize diet, sleep, and exercise by seeing real-time glucose patterns instead of relying on fingersticks or A1c averages. Kolodzik describes CGM use in his clinic (two-week diagnostic wear, then therapeutic guidance), highlights insulin resistance, fasting insulin testing, glucose variability, and the role of low-carb eating, intermittent fasting, and strength training to improve metabolic syndrome, triglycerides, and fatty liver. They discuss CGM sourcing/cost, device mechanics and accuracy, possible future noninvasive wearables, and GLP-1/GIP weight-loss drugs, emphasizing supervised, limited-dose use with protein and lifestyle changes to avoid muscle loss and weight regain. A free PDF of Kolodzik's book is offered HERE.  

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Dr. Paul Kolodzik of Metabolic MD.

Have you ever tried to lose weight…then got frustrated when the results didn't stick? That was certainly the case for my client Zohreh. She had tried different diets in the past, but none seemed to give her the sustained results she desired. Until she came to plant-based eating.   Coming from many years of eating a pescatarian diet, Zohreh thought making this transition would (and should) be easy. But she ended up feeling lost and unsure of how to best eat on a plant-based diet, to reach her desired goals of losing weight and reducing her risk of diabetes, heart attacks and other health problems.   After getting support through coaching though, this all changed. Staying plant-powered became workable and enjoyable, even while Zohreh continued to juggle a full-time job and long commutes. Listen in to this interview between Zohreh and I, recorded 9 months after we started working together. In this episode, you'll hear about her background, past weight challenges and some of the key positive changes she has enjoyed since moving into a whole food plant-based diet. These include weight loss, lower cholesterol, greater energy and a greater confidence in being able to stay weight stable, even after trips and holidays. Listen in to gain smart tips for eating out from Zohreh and be inspired by her story!     Contact -> healthnow@plantnourished.com Learn -> www.plantnourished.com Join -> Plant-Powered Life Transformation Course: www.plantnourished.com/ppltcourse 1:1 Coaching Support -> https://www.plantnourished.com/coachingwaitlist Get Free 15-Minute Strategy Call -> www.plantnourished.com/strategycall Free Resource -> 7 Ways to Test-Drive a Plant-Based Diet: www.plantnourished.com/testdrive     Have a question about plant-based diets that you would like answered on the Plant Based Eating Made Easy Podcast?

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…   Audrey: Hi Dr. Cabral, What are your thoughts on retained reflexes? My almost 3 yr old girl has extreme outbursts every day that involves lots of screaming and yelling. I was told retained reflexes could be the problem. She is extremely smart and started talking at a very young age. I know she is too young for any heavy metal detoxes or parasite cleanses so I'm not sure how to help her. I also have a 4 yr old and a NB so having some peace in the home would be nice. Thanks      Cathy: Dear Dr Cabral, I'm so thankful for you! In the past 1.5yrs I've lost 30lbs and still losing more.

God bless you!      Anonymous: Hi Dr. C — Big thanks to you and your amazing team for all you do. Question about purchasing pre-owned items: Are there any health concerns about buying used clothing items or bedding (sheets)? I always wash them before using them. Some people are grossed out about "used bedding," but it seems to be the same as going to a hotel: those aren't new sheets on hotel beds. Thanks.                                                               Sarah: Hello doc! I saw somebody say that red dots (cherry angiomas) on the body can be due to poor bile flow. Curious on your take on this? Cheers!      Basak: I had a quick question I wanted to ask. I divide my time between the Netherlands and Miami, and I maintain the same healthy habits in both locations—clean eating, daily exercise, minimal alcohol, and consistent sleep. I generally feel well and have no other complaints. However, I have noticed that whenever I return to Miami, I consistently experience lower abdominal bloating. I was wondering whether it is possible that environmental factors—such as differences in air quality, water, or other environmental exposures in the U.S.—could be contributing to this reaction. I would appreciate your perspective    Thank you for tuning into this weekend's Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3698 - - - 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?

Understanding and Managing Heart Health: In this Heart Health Month episode of the Intelligent Medicine Podcast, nutritionist Leyla Muedin addresses a listener's question about elevated cholesterol levels and calcium scores. Drawing on an article written by Dr. Hoffman, she emphasizes the importance of discussing statin use with a doctor, considering individual risk factors, and getting additional tests like VAPs, NMR, homocysteine, and lipoprotein levels. The episode explores the importance of vitamins K2 and folate in cardiovascular health, addressing nutritional deficiencies, and the impact of dietary choices on heart health.

On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared takes a closer look at the cholesterol conversation and the widespread use of statin medications through a functional health lens. Rather than relying on fear or headlines, he explores how cholesterol numbers are interpreted, the difference between risk markers and root causes, and why metabolic health, inflammation, and lifestyle factors may play a larger role in long-term heart wellness. Jared also explains concepts like absolute risk, number needed to treat (NNT), and why informed decision-making matters when evaluating any health strategy. This episode encourages listeners to ask better questions, seek clarity, and consider a comprehensive approach to cardiovascular health that includes nutrition, movement, and targeted supplementation. As always, this discussion is educational and designed to empower you with information so you can make the best decisions for your personal health journey.Products:N.O.

This episode was originally recorded as part of my Insulin Reset Facebook & Instagram LIVE series, where I go live weekly to teach the truth about insulin resistance, hormones, and metabolic health. In this powerful session, I unpack: The REAL reason your cholesterol and triglycerides are high How fatty liver actually develops (hint: it's not from eating fat) Why statins may lower numbers but don't solve the root issue The overlooked roles of insulin, chlorogenic acid, and liver overload How the Feel Great System (Unimate + Balance) can support your body in reversing these patterns naturally

Weight frustration in perimenopause isn't just about vanity—it's about a physiological shift that changes how our bodies handle fuel. In this episode, Dr. Rachel Pope sits down with midlife health expert Ann Konkoly to demystify GLP-1 medications (like Ozempic and Zepbound), the hidden dangers of visceral fat, and why the scale is often a "shitty measurement" for your actual health.In this episode, we discuss: The "Middle" Mystery: Why the "eat less, move more" mantra fails women in perimenopause and how this transition impacts weight maintenance. GLP-1s Beyond Weight Loss: Ann explains the metabolic benefits of these medications, including reducing neuroinflammation and protecting the heart and kidneys.

There's one truly helpful value on a standard cholesterol panel: triglycerides. Ironically, it's also the value most likely to be ignored or mismanaged because the doctor wastes your time by focusing on the useless total and LDL cholesterol values, having been brainwashed by the flawed science and pharmaceutical marketing. Here is WHY triglycerides are so important, HOW you can reduce your value to the very important level of 60 mg/dl or less without resorting to the use of any pharmaceuticals, only natural and dietary strategies. Support the showYouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@WilliamDavisMD Blog: WilliamDavisMD.com Membership website for two-way Zoom group meetings: InnerCircle.DrDavisInfiniteHealth.com Books: Super Gut: The 4-Week Plan to Reprogram Your Microbiome, Restore Health, and Lose Weight Wheat Belly: Lose the Wheat, Lose the Weight and Find Your Path Back to Health; revised & expanded ed

In this episode, Dr. Jockers breaks down the five most important lab tests that reveal how well your heart, brain, metabolism, and longevity systems are functioning. You'll learn why standard lab work often misses early warning signs. These markers help identify risk long before symptoms appear.   You'll see how fasting insulin, hemoglobin A1C, and the triglyceride to HDL ratio expose whether your body is stuck in sugar burning or efficiently using fat for fuel. Dr. Jockers explains what optimal ranges actually mean. These labs paint a clear picture of metabolic health.   Homocysteine and C-reactive protein reflect inflammation, cardiovascular stress, and brain aging. Dr. Jockers explains how elevated levels connect to long-term disease risk. These markers offer critical insight into overall longevity.   In This Episode:  00:00 Understanding Hemoglobin A1C 00:24 Introduction to Top Lab Tests 03:18 Top 5 Lab Tests for Health and Longevity 04:21 Fasting Insulin Levels: The Superhero Hormone 06:43 Hemoglobin A1C: Blood Sugar Regulation 08:36 Triglycerides to HDL Ratio: Metabolic Health 12:03 Homocysteine: The Inflammatory Amino Acid 15:18 C-Reactive Protein: Inflammation Marker 18:10 Diet and Lifestyle for Optimal Health 21:04 Conclusion and Final Thoughts   Hair loss isn't caused by age but by hair follicles being switched off, and Swiss researchers discovered how to turn them back on with Purality Health - AnaGain Nu, a clinically proven compound extracted from pea sprouts that stimulates hair follicle cells and pushes them back into the growth phase.

Get my newest workshop replay, BRILLIANT - Understanding the Somatic Intelligence of Over- & Underfunctioning.Lindsey pulls back the curtain on two sets of her bloodwork (June 2024 → December 2025) to show how healing the nervous system — and lowering the total life load — changes measurable physiology. She explains why over-functioning isn't a personality trait; it's a survival physiology that drives inflammation, insulin, thyroid conservation, liver burden, and stress-lipid patterns. She walks through each lab marker in plain language, contrasts meds/supplements alone with nervous-system and lifestyle change, and shares the supportive protocol she used alongside big shifts in emotional, domestic, and relational load. She closes with how the BRILLIANT workshop and CRUCIBLE practice space fit into this work.Show notesBig ideasOver-functioning is physiology, not personality; your body keeps the score.You can't out-supplement or medicate chronic over-functioning; support helps, and change lands when load drops and safety increases.Low-threat, well-nourished, well-rested physiology shows up clearly in labs: inflammation, insulin, thyroid conversion, lipids, and liver enzymes all move toward safety.Lab highlights (June 2024 → December 2025)CRP (inflammation): 3.0 → 0.9 (≈ 66% drop; low-inflammation range)Fasting insulin: 17.7 (insulin-resistant) → 6 (insulin-sensitive)Thyroid: TSH 3.22 → 1.23; Free T4 0.81 → 1.15; Free T3 2.88 → 3.2 (robust conversion)Liver enzyme (ALT): 33 → 15 (burden eased)Triglycerides: 105 → 68LDL-C: 126 → 97DHEA: 58 → 48 (healthy downshift within the improved overall pattern)What changed besides the numbersLoad reduction: less emotional labor, less domestic/relational over-functioning, fewer sensory demands, more boundaries.Inputs: consistent eating (enough), deeper sleep, real rest, improved circulation/movement without overdrive.Result: cortisol normalized — inflammation down, insulin normalized, thyroid conversion improved, liver less burdened, hair loss reversed, energy steadier.Supportive protocol (alongside the lifestyle shift)NP Thyroid (desiccated), bioidentical progesterone (vaginal delivery), low-dose naltrexone 4.5 mg.Magnesium (glycinate + l-threonate), glycine (~ 3 g/day), vitamin D3 + K2.GLP-1 experience: brief full-dose trial (too suppressive) → discontinued; later micro-dosed retatrutide after nutrition and rest were restored.Who this episode helpsOver-functioners who “look fine” but see inflammation, insulin resistance, sluggish thyroid conversion, stressed liver enzymes, or stress-lipids.Under-functioner/over-functioner couples wanting physiology-and-practice-based next steps.Mentioned resources & linksPrevious episode for backstory — Episode 131: Listen on SpotifyLindsey's ebooks: When Rest Feels WrongWhen Action Feels WrongSupplements Lindsey uses/loves: Glycine supplementHemaplexD3 + K2Magnesium glycinateMagnesium l-threonateFree Video Series:Unfiltered Real Talk About OverfunctioningThe Underfunctioner's Wake-Up CallNotes & gentle disclaimerThis episode shares one person's labs, context, and protocol decisions.

Heart disease is still the number one killer in the U.S.—but are we even looking at the right markers to prevent it? In this eye-opening episode, Shana sits down with Dr. Urban Kiernan, founder and CEO of iMetabolic Biopharma Corporation, to break down what your lipid panel actually means, why total cholesterol and LDL often distract from the real risks, and how insulin resistance plays a central role in heart disease—especially during menopause. Dr. Kiernan shares how his biotech company is leveraging AI, protein therapy, and root-cause science to transform how we prevent and treat metabolic disease—and why most conventional approaches miss the mark entirely. If you've ever been confused by your labs, put on statins without a full explanation, or wondered why we're still seeing record rates of heart attacks and strokes, this conversation will bring clarity and direction.

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:    Trish: Hi Dr. Cabral - I'm a 55-year-old female working on lowering overall inflammation in my body. My CRP levels are (4.1), ApoB (118 nmol/L and Lipoprotein (A) (281 nmol/L) as you can see are high. Total Cholesterol 221 and Triglycerides are 70. I have a lot of stiffness with joint discomfort. I started taking 2 Proteolytic Enzymes upon waking. Then your DNS, D3/k2, Cell Boost, Inflamma Soothe, Collagen with GLP Tone System and some of your other products (eye and hair). I follow your Med diet. My pain and stiffness have improved ALOT in a matter of days. I'm going to retest my CRP and chol levels in 4 months. My question is how long can I take Proteolytic Enzymes and in your opinion am I taking the proper protocol for these issues? I'm retesting in 4 mos. Thank you in advance          Sheena: Hi Dr Cabral! Hope you and all of your health family are well. I'm a surgical Processor and on my feet all day. I've tried all kinds of compression socks but by the end of the day, after taking it off, my leg are soo itchy! I scratch it sometimes so bad it starts to bleed. I'm only wearing the average 15-20 mmHG so its not too tight. I'm curious if you have a recommendation for compression socks that wont causes itching but is effective? Thanks in advance for answering!      Christina: Stephen, I have listened on one of your podcasts about Rheumatoid Arthritis and detoxing. My mother is in her early 70s and her fingers are twisting. I am 48 and recently the base of my thumbs have started bothering me. My question is, what detox protocol should my mother start with to prevent further twisting of her fingers and what detox protocol should I do to prevent this from happening to me? I would love to do the heavy metals and organic acid tests, but unfortunately I live in NY. Would my functional medicine doctor be able to order them for me? I have had HELLP, HUS, DIC, Guillian Barre, and Pulminary Edema in my pregnancy at 21. My son was delivered with no issues! At this time, we learned that I have ITTP. I have had IBS issues. Thank you, Christina                      Ryan: Hi dr cabral, Im a 29 year old male who has addisons disease, chronic post nasal drip, food intolerance's and teeth grinding a stool test confirmed klebsiella pneumonie overgrowth and blastocystis hominis as well as some yeast and fungus with no Bifidobacteria and Lactobacillus detected, I recently started the cbo protocol with citricidal drops im 7 days in untill i came across one of your videos where you mentioned you should go for the parasite first should i stop the cbo protocol and start the para support protocol and then continue the cbo after or just continue the cbo protocol Thank you for your time wishing you all the best ryan.                                                                                                                                     Kay: Hi Dr. Cabral, I I love your podcasts and look forward to them every week. Anyway, I was wondering if you could please explain how a traumatic event could spur the onset of a "dis-ease" such as asthma. My daughter's asthma began shortly after her father and I were separated and he moved out of state. According to her pediatrician at the time, she was "more prone to having asthma because she also had eczema." This was 2 decades ago, and now she's 31 and we know more about autoimmune issues. Although she continues to carry an inhaler with her, she hardly needs to use it anymore. What would you recommend for a more root cause approach to someone with her condition?
