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…   Bernice: Hi Doc, First, thank you so much for your podcast. I absolutely love it! My favorite day is Friday. I always enjoy hearing about the research and new products. I learned about psyllium husk on your podcast and I have been taking it every day. I wanted to ask you about Zen Basil. Is this something that we should also consider taking as well as a fiber source? It looks like there are 15 grams per serving! Thanks so much!! Bernice       Genel: Hi Dr. Cabral, thank you for your work. About 5 years ago I had tuberculosis and long-term treatment. Since then I've had ongoing issues: persistent joint pain and unstable weight. I struggle to gain weight and often lose it without clear reason. Recent labs showed elevated rheumatoid factor (147.6 IU/mL), high ESR (38), and slightly low hemoglobin, suggesting inflammation or rheumatoid arthritis. I currently take DNS, Omega-3, and D3. What additional supplements could help lower inflammation and support recovery? I live outside the US and can order supplements, but EquiLife support said lab results cannot be processed from my country. I don't want to make the detox cause I don't want to lose the little weight I have. What protocol can I follow? Thank you again for your guidance.      Katherine: Hi Doc. Thank you for all you do in helping all of us. I was looking into get a vibration plate and was wondering which one you would recommend. To date, I didn't find one on your resource page or previous podcast. Would you consider recommending one in the future? Thank you!      Eli: Hi, Dr. Cabral, I feel like I can't get ahold of my appetite, both behaviorally and physiologically. I also deal with a huge amount of food noise. I notice when I eat a large breakfast, say from a restaurant, I can go basically the entire day without eating. Is it OK to flip meals - dinner for breakfast, regular lunch, and breakfast for dinner? Are there any studies or positive impacts of doing so? Why don't more health professionals talk about this type of practice? It seems as if it would be good for people. I'm desperate to try anything for my appetite and food noise problem. Thank you so much for answering my question!       Sheena: Hi Dr. C! hope you and your team are well. I'm a 46 year old female experiencing peri-menopause symptoms. My endocrinologist prescribed me birth control pills to help alleviate some of the symptoms which helped for about 8 mths only but now I'm considering HRT. I purchased the Big 5 and want to know if I need to come off BCP for accurate results? If so, how long should I be off before testing? If not, will I need to notify labs in advance? If I'm on HRT, will my results be accurate for Stress Mood test? And my last question, when doing the Detox, am I allowed to take herbal tinctures? (I take tintures daily to support my adrenals and liver). Will that cancel out the effectiveness of the FM and AYU pills? Thx in advance! You are the BEST!     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/3768 - - - 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?

BUFFALO, NY — May 12, 2026 — A new #research paper was #published in Volume 18 of Aging-US on May 4, 2026, titled “Host immunosenescence compromises Mycobacterium tuberculosis clearance.” The study was led by first author Falak Pahwa and corresponding author Ranjan Kumar Nanda from the International Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (ICGEB), New Delhi, India. In this study, the authors investigated how aging alters immune responses during tuberculosis infection and treatment. Tuberculosis remains one of the world's deadliest infectious diseases, and older adults are particularly vulnerable due to immunosenescence, the gradual decline of immune function that occurs with aging. Despite the growing burden of tuberculosis in aging populations worldwide, most experimental models continue to rely on young adult animals that do not accurately reflect immune aging. Using multiple age groups of C57BL/6 mice, the researchers examined how aging affects the body's ability to control Mycobacterium tuberculosis during treatment with rifampicin and isoniazid (RIF-INH), two cornerstone anti-tuberculosis drugs. While young and older mice initially showed similar bacterial burden following infection, older mice demonstrated significantly delayed bacterial clearance in the lungs during the early phase of treatment. Importantly, the study identified several age-associated immune abnormalities linked to impaired bacterial clearance. Older mice exhibited chronic inflammatory signaling, altered T cell responses, accumulation of T-follicular cytotoxic (TFC)-like cells, and evidence of mitochondrial dysfunction within immune cells. Proteomic analysis of splenic CD4+CD44+ T cells further revealed dysregulation of mitochondrial proteins involved in cellular metabolism and immune function. “Collectively, these findings suggest that age-associated immune alterations may disrupt immunometabolic pathways, thereby contributing to the delayed Mtb clearance.” The researchers also observed that older mice maintained elevated inflammatory cytokine levels and developed persistent lung inflammation even after treatment had begun. At the same time, key protective immune responses appeared functionally impaired, suggesting that aging may disrupt the balance between inflammation and effective pathogen control. Together, these findings suggest that age-related immunometabolic dysfunction may play a major role in the reduced treatment response observed in older hosts. Notably, the study found that delayed bacterial clearance in older mice did not appear to result primarily from liver toxicity or impaired drug metabolism. Instead, the evidence suggested that age-related immune dysfunction itself was the dominant factor limiting effective bacterial elimination during therapy. The paper further highlights the emerging importance of mitochondrial health in immune cell function during aging. The authors propose that targeting age-associated immunometabolic defects and mitochondrial dysfunction may represent a promising strategy for improving tuberculosis treatment outcomes in elderly populations. Overall, this study provides new insight into why older adults experience poorer tuberculosis outcomes despite receiving standard therapy. As global populations continue to age, understanding how immunosenescence alters infectious disease responses may become increasingly important for the development of more effective treatment strategies and age-adapted therapeutic interventions.

FTP Book Club: Everything is Tuberculosis by John Green

In September 2025, the U.S. Department of State, Gilead Sciences, and the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria announced a novel partnership to procure and deliver lenacapavir—a groundbreaking twice-yearly injectable pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for HIV prevention—to up to two million people over next three years.  On Tuesday, April 14, the leadership of these three entities convened to discuss the partnership now that doses have begun to arrive in country and have been delivered. Katherine E. Bliss, Director of Immunizations and Health Systems Resilience and Senior Fellow with the CSIS Global Health Policy Center moderated the conversation with Jeremy P. Lewin, Senior Official for the Office of the Under Secretary for Foreign Assistance, Humanitarian Affairs, and Religious Freedom at the U.S. Department of State; Daniel O'Day, Chairman and CEO of Gilead Sciences; and Peter Sands, Executive Director of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.  Together they examined how this deal fits into a renewed U.S. strategy for foreign assistance focused on big bets and advancing American innovations around the world, what challenges lie on the horizon as implementation unfolds, and what additional innovations may accelerate scaling this effort.

Fresno County health officials confirmed a tuberculosis exposure at Justin Garza High School, prompting contact tracing and notifications to potentially affected students and staff. Officials say the risk to the general public is low, but those identified as close contacts are being tested as a precaution. Avenal voters are deciding whether to recall multiple city council members, accusing leaders of mismanagement and public safety failures. The recall effort follows months of turmoil over fire services, city finances, and leadership decisions, setting up a high‑stakes local election that could reshape city government.

Of all the scares and scandals around meat farming practices in the UK, few have been as persistent as been bovine TB. While we're nowhere near the 1930s estimate of the number of cattle infected, it's never really gone away. Why is that?Dr. Neil Watt of MV Diagnostics joins us to cover where bovine TB has been hiding between outbreaks, how changes in testing may help pin it down, and why now might be the turning point on the management, maybe even eradication, of bovine TB in the UK.Read the original paper: https://doi.org/10.1002/vetr.4241Read more : https://www.mvdiagnostics.co.uk/

Because obviously that's where morning radio should go.Then comes Mind Meld — a game that sounds simple in theory: say the same word as your partner. That's it. That's the whole game. And yet somehow, this funny podcast manages to turn it into a psychological thriller where nobody trusts anyone and every answer feels like a personal attack.You'll hear:One of the cleanest wins ever (“doctor hoodie” becoming “lab coat” like actual geniuses)One of the most painful failures in show history (we're looking at you, “tissue” instead of “clown”)A heated debate about whether “coffee table” counts as one word (spoiler: it derails everything)Multiple rounds where they are SO CLOSE… and still miss itAnd a final cowboy-themed comeback that somehow restores faith in humanity (briefly)There's yelling, second-guessing, accidental brilliance, and moments where you will absolutely scream at your speakers because the answer is so obvious it hurts.This is what makes The Rizzuto Show the funny podcast you keep coming back to — not because they get it right, but because watching them get it wrong is way more entertaining.If you like your comedy messy, your logic questionable, and your mornings filled with chaos, you're in the right place.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This episode kicks off exactly how you'd expect from a funny podcast that thrives on oversharing — with Riz prepping for his wife's colonoscopy like it's a full-blown live event. We're talking guest room exile, filming post-anesthesia nonsense, and somehow comparing medical procedures to oil changes. Because of course we are.From there, the show spirals into a nostalgia-fueled rabbit hole of “things from the past that would absolutely break us today” — including:Waiting in line for a payphoneDial-up internet destroying your household peacePhysically going to the bank like some kind of pilgrimDownloading a single song for half a dayAnd the true trauma: no save points in old video gamesBasically, if you survived the ‘90s, congrats — you earned today's convenience.Clownvis Presley (yes, that's real, no we won't explain it again) joins the studio and instantly brings the weird energy up to acceptable Rizz Show levels. There's talk of him standing motionless in parking lots like a haunted Elvis statue (which… honestly tracks), plus hype for his upcoming Oddballs & Outlaws Tour, hitting St. Louis at Red Flag.Meanwhile, Rafe is fully spiraling over a stacked Willie Nelson show lineup — and plotting ways to sneak onto Willie's tour bus like it's a low-budget heist movie.The crew continues their 90s movie bracket, and it gets personal:Dumb and Dumber vs Office Space (rude matchup)Tommy Boy vs Austin Powers (illegal to choose)Something About Mary vs Mrs. Doubtfire (childhood vs comedy chaos)Big Lebowski vs Groundhog Day (existential crisis edition)Everyone argues like their childhood depends on it — because it kinda does.The show's signature game returns, and it's a rollercoaster:One round goes completely off the rails (shocking no one)Another round magically connects “doctor” and “hoodie” into “lab coat” like some kind of psychic miracleMultiple moments where the audience is definitely yelling at their radiosIt's the perfect mix of “we got this” and “we absolutely do not got this.”Riz debuts a new game pulling tiny sounds from songs, forcing everyone to guess the track and artist — which turns into:ConfusionAccidental brillianceAnd at least one moment where someone somehow nails it and everyone else gets madStandard operating procedure.Because this is a daily comedy show, we also acknowledge:National Cocktail Day

Koch's announcement that he had identified the bacterium responsible for tuberculosis strengthened the emerging “germ theory” of disease, which argued that many illnesses were caused by microorganisms rather than by environmental or hereditary factors ...

This time on Monthly Spooky, Henrique & Michelle tear into spooky news, true crime weirdness, and classic American vampire lore—the kind of stories that feel like they should be fake… but we're not so lucky. Inside this episode:Galway exorcism: the headline that sounds impossible—“poltergeist of dead baby torments family”—and why it set the tone for the night. Rhode Island UFO sighting: a pilot report of an unexplained object over Rhode Island, and the eternal question—do you believe? Las Vegas escaped toucan: a rescue group tries to catch an escaped toucan before the desert weather does. Boston skull in concrete: a grim discovery that kicks up rumors, crime-history vibes, and that “what if it's worse than we think?” feeling. New England vampire panic: how tuberculosis/consumption + grief + superstition became “vampires,” and how that lore echoes into modern horror. New here? This episode stands alone—jump in for ghosts, UFOs, true crime, folklore, and horror history with plenty of laughs along the way.

My guest today is John Green. John is the award-winning, #1 bestselling author of books including 'Looking for Alaska,' 'The Fault in Our Stars,' 'Turtles All the Way Down,' 'The Anthropocene Reviewed,' and 'Everything is Tuberculosis.' John and his brother Hank Green have co-created a lot of projects together, including their massive YouTube channel, Vlogbrothers, and their podcast, 'Dear Hank and John.' He also serves on the Board of Trustees for global health nonprofit Partners in Health. And when I asked John if there was a piece of music that changed his life, he knew the answer right away: "You'll Never Walk Alone" by Gerry and the Pacemakers.For more info, visit songexploder.net/john-green.

Authors We Interviewed on the Podcast Here are the books we featured on the podcast this year. See links to the author interviews. Think Like a Runner by Jeff Horowitz How to Run the Perfect Race by Matt Fitzgerald The Norwegian Method by Brad Culp The Explorer's Gene by Alex Hutchinson Ballistic by Henry Abbott Extreme Balance by Joe DeSena The Runaway Housewives of the Appalachian Trail by Kitty Robinson Fuel for Thought by Renee McGregor Don't Call it a Comeback by Keira D'Amato Lootie's World Run by Marie Leautey The Running Ground by Nicolas Thompson Angie's Top 10 Non-Fiction Reads: The Art of Memoir by Mary Karr Memoir is one of my favorite genres and this book takes a peak behind the scenes on writing an engaging memoir. In fact, Mary Karr weaves in so many personal antidotes that it doesn't feel like a how-to book at all. Some of the core principles she talks about have to do with dealing with the truth as you remember it, turning vulnerability into art, and finding your unique story. Everyone from the causal reader to someone who wants to write a memoir will enjoy this book. Awake by Jen Hatmaker I've followed Jen Hatmakes on Instagram for a number of years and she has a very funny and relatable way of sharing her life. Her latest book is a memoir and talks about the dissolution of her 25 year marriage and how she had to come awake to many important areas in her life as a result. Bad Therapy- Why The Kids aren't Growing Up by Abigail Shrier The author is an investigative journalist who argues that aspects of the mental health industry is harming American children, not helping them but over-diagnosing and over-treating normal struggles. It's important to get children the mental health help that they need but Shrier warns that normal development challenges and emotions are sometimes mislabeled as mental disorders which can lead children to adopt an “illness identity.” It Didn't Start With You -How Inherited Family Trauma Shapes Who We Are and How to End the Cycle by Mark Wolynn This book talks about how trauma and epigenetic are linked. Trauma can change how our genes work and influence stress responses, health, and mood and these alterations can be passed down to future generations, which can help explain intergenerational trauma. This was a very eye opening book and helpful for anyone processing struggles linked to family history. The Marvelous Pigness of Pigs by Joel Salatin Since reading Michael Pollan's book, The Omnivore's Dilemma, I've been working on getting the meat our family eats from ethically sustainable sources. Joel Salatin, owner and operator of Polyface Farms, makes the case for how farming and ranching practices need to change (for the good of the environment, the animals, the farmer, and society in general). Inner Excellence by Jim Murphy This is a book that was first published back in 2009 and was updated in 2020. It has been used by many professional athletes and high achievers to develop a stronger mental and emotional game. NFL player, A.J. Brown of the Philadelphia Eagles, was filmed reading this book on the sidelines of a January 2025 playoff game and the book started selling thousands of copies. Some of the principles in the book that resonated with me were detaching self-worth from outcomes so that your identity isn't tied to results or achievements. Instead of asking, “How did I do?” Ask, “What did I learn.” Another important take-away was learning to gain control over my inner world. We don't have to believe everything our mind tells us. Yes, we should recognize emotions and thoughts but come back to our core values to develop self-mastery. Estrogen Matters -Why Taking Hormones in Menopause Can Improve Women's Well-Being and Lengthen Their Lives- Without Raising the Risk of Breast Cancer (Revised and Updated) by Avrum Bluming and Carol Tavris As a woman in perimenopause I've been educating myself on how to make this transition in life work for me. As a result I started using HRT two years ago and it has improved my life physically, mentally, and emotionally. Thankfully the FDA removed the black box warning on HRT in 2025 after years of misinformation. This book is a must read for women in their mid-30's and up, those who have experienced surgical menopause, or anyone who wants to understand the role of estrogen more completely. From Strength to Strength– Finding Success, Happiness, and Deep Purpose in the Second Half of Life by Arthur C. Brooks Brooks is a Harvard professor and happiness columnist for The Atlantic. He draws on philosophy, social science, biography, and spirituality to offer a helpful roadmap for aging well in the second half of life. In order to embrace, and not fight, the inevitable decline we need to redefine success (moving away from being primarily validated by money or job titles) and look to internal measures like a deeper sense of purpose, wisdom, strong relationships, and service to others. Nuclear War: A Scenario by Annie Jacobson Annie Jacobson is one of those authors from which I will read anything she writes. In the rather bleak (but fascinating) book she lays out the history of nuclear programs throughout the world and presents a scenario in which nuclear weapons are used. Spoiler alert- there are no good outcomes. Breath- The New Science of a Lost Art by James Nestor I've struggled with allergies since childhood, dealing with a lot of nasal congestion. As a result I was a mouth breather and this book challenged me to take a look at my breathing patterns and make some changes. Over the course of a year I trained myself to breathe through my nose during the day (but nighttime was a bigger challenge). A few months ago I started using mouth tape at night (and an airflow clip nasal dilator called Snore Less Now to open up my airway). I've experienced better mouth hygiene and deeper sleep as a result. Honorable Mentions (nonfiction) Hidden Potential by Adam Grant All the Way to the River by Elizabeth Gilbert Slow Productivity by Cal Newport Evidence Not Seen by Darlene Deibler Rose Revenge of The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins Invisible Women by Caroline Criado Perez Everything is Tuberculosis by John Green You Could Make This Place Beautiful by Maggie Smith The Next Conversation by Jefferson Fisher Angie's Top 10 Fiction Reads: The Grey Wolf by Louise Penny (#19 in the Armand Gamache series) If you enjoy mysteries and thrillers this series is excellent. I've particularly enjoyed listening to them on audiobook since I'm not a French speaker and would probably mispronounce many names and places otherwise. The Life Impossible by Matt Haig I've enjoyed every book that author Matt Haig has written and this one was no exception. The Life Impossible follows a retired math teacher named Grace who is grieving the loss of her husband and son. She receives an unexpected inheritance which forces her outside her comfort zone, helping her to deal with her past and find new purpose for the future. Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver This book is a modern retelling of Charles Dicken's David Coperfield. It follows a boy named Damon Fields who is born into poverty in modern rural Appalachia. He has a very tumultuous life particularly because of the weakness of the foster care system. The book deals with some very heavy subjects but it's ultimately a story of resilience and the power of finding hope in community and through art. The Burning White by Brent Weeks This is the fifth and final book in the Lightbringer Series, a modern fantasy set in a world governed by light and the magic of Chromaturgy. In this world, some people called drafters have the ability to harness light to create a physical substance called “luxin.” Each color has unique powers and identity and the drafter is changed over time. Red Rising Series by Pierce Brown My teens had read this series a few years ago so I was a bit late to the game. But once I finished the first book, Red Rising, I devoured the other five in this fantasy/sci-fi series and am eagerly waiting for the final book to be released next summer. The series centers on class warfare because of a rigid caste system and the main character gets involved in an attempted revolution. This fast paced series is full of action, violence and is set in space. The Measure by Nikki Erlick In this book everyone who reaches a specific age receives a box revealing their lifespan. The story follows eight people who wrestle with the decision whether to open their boxes or not and what to do with the information they get. Ultimately it's an uplifting book that encourages us to live life to the fullest. Twice by Mitch Albom This is a magical realism novel about a boy named Alfie who discovers that he gets two chances at everything in his life. It's a very engaging storyline (which kept me guessing until the end). It really made me see even more value in imperfection and that growth comes from learning. Marble Hall Murders by Anthony Horowitz This mystery follows freelance editor Susan Ryleland who finds herself unwillingly entangled in the death of an author whose book she is working on. I enjoy a mystery that keeps me guessing. The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny by Kiran Desai I enjoyed the audiobook version of this book which follows the story of Sonia and Sunny who are both Indian immigrants to the United States who are navigating love, family, country, class, and race. Trevor's Top Reads in 2025: Trevor managed to finish 41 books last year. These ones rose to the top: How the Irish Saved Civilization -The Untold Story of Ireland’s Heroic Role from the Fall of Rome to the Rise of Medieval Europe by Thomas Cahill. Basically, the Irish saved civilization because their monasteries preserved classical texts, learning, and book making after the fall of the Roman Empire. Irish monks later established monasteries on continental Europe which became centers of learning. American Nations -A History of the Eleven Rival Regional Cultures of North America by Colin Woodard. This was a paradigm shaping book, it provides the best explanation for regional differences in the USA. As You Wish -Inconceivable Tales from the Making of The Princess Bride (1987) by Cary Elwes. If you love the movie, listen to the audio book to Cary Elwes and other cast members share behind-the-scenes stories. The Shortest History of Ancient Rome -A Millennium of Western Civilization, from Kingdom to Republic to Empire: A Retelling for Our Times by Ross King. Trevor is a big fan of the Shortest History series because they provide a short overviews without getting too myopic or tedious. Mark Twain by Ron Chernow. This is a 1,200 page tome or 45 hours on audio book. Fun fact! Twain smoked between 22-40 cigars per day. Let’s end with some Mark Twain quotes: “The only way to keep your health is to eat what you don't want, drink what you don't like, and do what you'd druther not.” “Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter”. “Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.”  “The man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who cannot read them”.

Ever gotten a scarlet, hot face after drinking alcohol or know someone who has? Many people felt it as they celebrate the holidays with loved ones, sipping mulled wine, cocktails or champagne. That's because this condition, commonly called "Asian flush" or "Asian glow," affects an estimated half a billion people, who can't break down aldehyde toxins that build up in their bodies. But what if there's a benefit to having Asian glow? Katie Wu, a staff writer for The Atlantic, has looked into the research as to why the condition might have been a powerful tool for some of our ancestors to survive disease.
