Souffrant de chocs Vagal violents, elle a demandé à avoir une césarienne et a dû se battre, tout au long de sa grossesse, pour en avoir une. Dès la naissance de son bébé, elle n'a pas voulu faire de peau à peau, sentant le besoin de se retrouver seule dans son corps. Le lien d'attachement avec son bébé s'est construit peu à peu, pendant 6 mois. Elle souhaite exprimer dans cet épisode que l'on peut avoir absolument rien aimé de la grossesse, de l'accouchement et du post-partum mais quand même être heureuse d'être maman et aimer son enfant plus que tout.

What's really behind your fatigue and brain fog? Ever feel like your body's sending you an SOS, but you're not sure what it's trying to say? I sit down with Dr. Will Cole, a leading Functional Medicine Expert, to chat about two health issues that often fly under the radar: histamine intolerance and burnout. We talk about how these sneaky culprits can mess with your energy, focus, and even your digestion—especially during midlife or perimenopause. If you've been feeling “off” and can't quite put your finger on why, this is a conversation you don't want to miss.   Dr. Will doesn't just share the science—he gives some seriously practical tips to help you feel better. We get into why gut health is such a big deal for managing histamine levels and what to do if you're feeling stuck in a cycle of exhaustion. Burnout is also part of our conversation, and you'll be surprised at how it's not always tied to laziness—but it's your body's way of waving a red flag. Dr. Will shares simple, doable strategies like breathwork and mindfulness to help you reset and feel like yourself again.   And by the way, if you're struggling with low energy, low libido, hormone imbalances, or menopausal symptoms, you've got to try my Mighty Maca Plus! My clients have called it a “godsend”. Head over to dranna.com/drinkmaca  to give it a try—and experience the difference!   Key Timestamps: [00:00:00] Introduction.

Metabolic Harmony for Health and Wellness Sign up for our first “Metabolic Harmony Webinar” to learn all about Vagal Nerve Stimulation, Heart Rate Variability and more on Wednesday, January 8th, 2025 at 9am PST but register first with our link- just ask me!   The vagus nerve and its function, vagal tone, are key elements in understanding health, performance, and longevity.  Improving vagal tone enhances the function of multiple body systems, leading to various health benefits: Stress Management: A robust vagus nerve helps lower cortisol, enhancing resilience to stress and reducing the risk of stress-related conditions like high blood pressure and insulin resistance. Reduced Inflammation: The vagus nerve activates the anti-inflammatory reflex, reducing chronic inflammation linked to diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and autoimmune conditions. Metabolic Health: Healthy vagal tone supports glucose and fat metabolism, helping with weight management and reducing metabolic issues. Mental Health: High vagal tone is linked to emotional resilience, reduced anxiety, and better mood by regulating brain neurotransmitters. Cardiovascular Health: It lowers heart rate, improves heart rate variability (HRV), and reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Recovery and Performance: For athletes, improved vagal tone supports quicker recovery, better oxygen utilization, and enhanced sleep. Impact on Fat Loss, Performance, and Longevity: Fat Loss: Improves metabolism and controls stress hormones. Performance: Boosts recovery, endurance, and efficiency. Longevity: Reduces inflammation and improves cardiovascular health. Improvement Strategies: Measure: Use HRV and resting heart rate. Improve: Practice breathing exercises, yoga, meditation, cold exposure, and use devices like Neuvana Life for vagus nerve stimulation. Improving vagal tone supports overall health, performance, and longevity. Joins us for a 30 day VNS/HRV Challenge!

Kellie got her final veneers today! You can't see how white they are, but you can finally hear her talk lisp-free. Add this to the list of ailments! Kellie had a four-hour heart issue at an appearance in Fort Worth that had Allen pretty worried.  After Allen gives an update on his speeding ticket, is it Christmas already??? Everyone in their neighborhood is already putting up trees and lighting up their houses, but Allen apparently threw away all their outdoor decorations last year, which is news to Kellie. And if you're planning on getting a new puppy for Christmas, Kellie has the list of the top dog names of 2024.  Allen goes off on his Cowboys rant of the week, which leads Kellie to tell him about a new product coming next year — Crier-Ball Whiskey!  And the pool guy saved their dog Larry from drowning, which led to a shocking statement from Kellie.  Thank you to our podcast sponsors!  Spice up your fall look with Thrive Causemetics.

Dr. Ahmed Raslan, a board-certified neurosurgeon, discusses treatment options for people suffering from epilepsy. There are a number of different treatment options available for people with epilepsy, with the most common being medication. In some cases, surgery may be an option where surgery can be used to remove the part of the brain that is causing the seizures. Dr. Raslan also discusses the risks and benefits associated with different types of epilepsy surgeries. Other possible treatments for epilepsy include: Ketogenic diet Vagal nerve stimulation Deep brain stimulation Dr. Raslan is a professor of neurological surgery, managing patients with a range of neurosurgical disorders. His practice focuses on epilepsy surgery; brain mapping for tumors and epilepsy, which often involves awake craniotomy; surgery for chronic and cancer pain (trigeminal neuralgia, spinal pain and many other chronic pain syndromes); hydrocephalus; and movement disorders.Dr. Raslan's research focuses on cerebral cortical physiology and cognitive decoding. He is particularly focused on developing and testing newer high-resolution neural biointerfaces for the brain and spinal cord and decoding cognitive processes such as memory encoding, language and number cognition.

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:    Molly: Hi doctor Cabral, I'm feeling a bit stuck in my health journey right now. I'm a 45-year old female. After undergoing several tests, I've discovered that I have low levels of DHEA, progesterone, and estrogen, as well as low thyroid function and dysbiosis. I'm struggling to figure out where to begin addressing these issues. It's unclear whether the dysbiosis is causing the hormonal imbalances, or if it's the other way around. Additionally, I'm not sure if stress might be contributing to all of these issues. I feel like I'm going in circles, and I would really appreciate any advice you may have on how to proceed. Thank you so much for your help! Molly     Laurie: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thank you for all your knowledge and generosity. You've made a big difference in my life! My question is, I found out I have a vagal schwannoma in my neck right next to the carotid bi-furcation. We have been watching it for 2.5 years with MRI's every 6 months. After slow growth we've decided I should just remove it and move on with my life. We looked into radiation as well, but for some reason, despite all the risks I face with this location being operated on, I'm leaning towards surgery. But I would really love to know what you would advise. Also, should I do the surgery which is scheduled for this summer, how would you suggest I prepare for the surgery and how are there certain things I should have ready to help heal from the surgery? Thank you so much for your advice.     Kristen: Are sparkling waters bad for our bones? I drink about 2 Spindrifts per day (in addition to plenty of plain water, small amounts of coffee in the morning, and tea several times per day). I was diagnosed with osteopenia so I need to be extra cautious. I've already made so many changes (including the decrease in coffee- just to name one of MANY). I really enjoy the sparking waters and do not want to take them out unnecessarily, but I worry their higher acidity is bad for my bones. From my understanding, there are not any solid ‘studies' that show non-cola carbonated waters are linked with low bone density BUT rationally speaking, they probably do. Please tell me I'm wrong though! Thank you!     Zach: Since 2020-20221 (when I got sick) I have been having different sensations take place on my skin. It feels a penny is being heated up and pushed onto my skin making it feel like a burn or cold-water dripping. There are no visual marks on my skin when these take place. The sensation can show up anywhere from my arm, chest, leg, hand etc. and only stays in a spot for seconds. It doesn't hurt but is extremely annoying as this has been going on for a few years now. Do you have any idea what this is? I recently sent my test in as I purchased the big 5 and a consultation with Jenn.     Jessica: My mom has debilitating sciatica pain. She had an injury in her back 30 years ago where she twisted her back and pinched a nerve but the pain is only coming back terrible now … nothing is helping including acupuncture, physical therapy, chiropractic adjustments etc. What do you recommend??     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/3116 - - - 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?

Have you ever wondered why some people seem to bounce back from stress more easily than others? The answer may lie in the strength of their vagus nerve.   In today's episode of the Longevity Podcast, I chat with Dr. Navaz Habib about the importance of the vagus nerve and its impact on heart rate variability (HRV). He explains that the vagus nerve is a unique nerve that connects the brain to all organs in the thorax and abdomen, allowing for communication and signaling. Vagal tone, which refers to the strength of the signals sent through the vagus nerve, is crucial for optimal health.    Dr. Habib identifies four types of stressors that can affect vagal tone: emotional, physical, biochemical, and psychological. He emphasizes the importance of proper breathing techniques, such as slow, diaphragmatic breathing, to improve vagal tone. We also discuss the role of nitric oxide in supporting vagus nerve function and how to supplement it for overall health.    Dr. Navaz Habib, is a Doctor of Chiropractic and Functional Medicine Practitioner who empowers his clients to dig deeper and find the answers to what is holding back their health, affecting their energy and productivity. He is also the host of The Health Upgrade Podcast and speaks on various topics related to Vagus Nerve and its impact on optimal health.   Thank you to our sponsors for making this episode possible: Fatty15: Visit http://fatty15.com/NAT  and use promo code NAT to save.
