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…   Lynette: I have Celiac Disease and worry about cross-contamination when eating at restaurants or friends' homes. People have suggested taking a gluten digestive enzyme, but I don't want to digest gluten. Is there anything I can take prior to eating that would rid my body of gluten, should I unknowingly come into contact with it? I'm a "silent celiac" so don't experience immediate GI upset, but instead suffer joint pain, headaches, and skin issues afterward. Living gluten-free out in the world is tough, so any suggestions to make things easier and safer are appreciated. Thanks!                                          Anonymous: I received a complimentary bottle of CBD Gummies -- thanks! Are there any contraindications with taking them? I'm thinking about them for my older parents, who are on the typical American old-age pharmaceuticals, including high blood pressure medication, statins, and Gabapentin. Will the gummies help with general aches and pains? Thank you.                                                                                                                                                                                            Sarah: I did labs through Equilife and found that my testosterone and DHEA were significantly low. For reference, I am a 49 year-old perimenopausal female. I started using about 8 mg of DHEA orally daily. (at that point I had 25 mg capsules I was splitting) Within three days of starting I had some longer lasting cystic acne on my face starting to appear. I gave it a few weeks to resolve and then began 25 mg of 7 keto DHEA daily and have had no acne breakouts at all. On my call with my IHP through Equilife to follow up from the labs, I was told that 7 keto DHEA is the same as regular DHEA and is likely just a marketing tool. Can you tell me why I reacted significantly different to the 7 keto DHEA? Several companies, some quite reputable sell it, do you recommend it in my case?                                              Anonymous: Hello, I appreciate the work you do, and would like your input to help me make a purchasing decision. I wanted to buy some Japanese selvedge jeans and notice they contain 2% Polyurethane. I had difficulty establishing whether the use of Polyurethane in clothing is harmful and wanted to know if you could direct me to resources which could provide me with more insight on this topic? Please let me know.                                                                                               Anonymous: I struggle with brain fog and low energy in the afternoons, even though I get enough sleep. Could this be related to blood sugar balance, and if so, what are some easy ways to stabilize it throughout the day?               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/3558 - - - 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?

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:    Sami: Hi Dr. Cabral! I'm currently in level 1 IHP certification program right now and loving everything so far. I'm even going to try the 14 day detox soon. Anyways my question pertains to myself that I've been struggling with for a bit. I'm a 24 year old female who lives a pretty healthy lifestyle but the one things I can't seem to figure out is why my face turns bright red and I get a hot flashes when I speak to people about 60% of the time. It happens at random times and with random convos. Is this something happening internally that could be causing this? Any recommendations??                                          Matt: Hey Dr. C! I have pretty good oral health. I use a tongue scraper, floss, FYGG toothpaste and I brush 2x a day. I also use their oral breath mints. However, my wife still tells me that my breath smells bad. Obviously, I don't want this. Lol. I don't want to use conventional toothpaste/mouthwash since there's a lot of chemicals in there. Would love to hear your take on this. Thanks for being the man the myth and the legend! -Matt                                                                                   Della: My right foot has been extremely dry for the past couple of years. Left foot, Normal, no dryness whatsoever. What could possibly be the reason? Help!                                                                                                                                            Rachel: My teenage daughter has been struggling with acne, and we've tried multiple topical treatments with limited results. Could diet or gut health be playing a role, and if so, where should we start? 10/2   Yvonne: My cholesterol labs have increased from previously: total cholesterol is now 6.44 (Normal range: below <5.20 mmol/L) and LDL 3.92 (Normal range: below <3.50 mmol/L)? Non High Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol is 4.23 (Normal range: below <4.20 mmol/L). Other lipid lab values are normal. Triglycerides Normal range: below =1.30 mmol/L - my value 2.21. Do you consider these abnormal and, if so, what can I do to reduce those numbers? I am hypothyroid (take natural dessicated thyroid) and pre-diabetic - generally A1C hovers between 5.9 and 6.     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/3557 - - - 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?

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…   Scott: Hello Dr. Cabral! I've been dealing with persistent brain fog and low motivation, especially in the mornings. I sleep 7–8 hours but still wake up groggy. What tests or protocols do you recommend to pinpoint the root causes and improve mental clarity naturally?                                                                                                                                                             Nela: Hi Dr. Cabral, I recently came across information on a treatment called Inuspheresis, which is described as a blood purification technology that filters out inflammatory proteins, environmental toxins and other harmful molecules. The materials I reviewed suggest it may benefit a wide range of conditions, including: - Chronic inflammatory disorders - Autoimmune diseases - Degenerative conditions Since I haven't heard you mention this treatment on your podcasts, I wanted to ask: 1. What is your opinion on the efficacy of Inuspheresis for the conditions listed 2. What do you see as the potential pros and cons of this therapy? I'd really value your knowledge and perspective! Thank you :)                                 John: Good day Dr. Cabral, I've been experimenting with cold exposure (ice baths, cold showers) to improve recovery and immunity. I've noticed a boost in energy but sometimes feel overly stimulated afterwards. How do you recommend people safely use cold exposure for health benefits without stressing the body?                                                                Jenna: Hi Dr. Cabral- I have a question about my 8 year old son. He has struggled with emotional regulation, big emotions, anxiety for a while. School was a struggle for him, he doesn't like to be away from me and he has anxiety about school work. We had him tested for ADHD, anxiety, Autism etc.. and they said he mostly just had anxiety. I don't want to give him medication but someone suggested methylfolate. I have started giving him this and it was REALLY helped! I was wondering if you could dive into why this worked and if you think it was a good idea. Thanks!                                                         Fatima: Hi Dr. Cabral! I've struggled with seasonal depression for years and usually need extra support during the fall and winter. Besides vitamin D, are there other nutrients, lab tests, or lifestyle changes you recommend for balancing mood with the seasons?     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/3551 - - - 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?

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:    Mohamed: Good day Dr.Cabral, thanks for all your amazing work and shout out to the amazing staff at Equilife/IHP. My question is regarding my EKG, had a bit of an issue one day so I got it done. Eveything looked normal however it said "Consider Right Atrial Enlargement (CRAE)". I'm 26 years old, I use Equilife products such as DNS, DVB, Full spectrum Mag. My CBC lab looked fine. However I was slightly leaning towards hyponaterima. (Ref range: 135-145), I was 136 (Canadian values). My resting HR is 72, however, I do exercise 2-3 times a week. I do have stress sometimes.. if I get really worked up (emotionally)… I feel it in my chest.. however exercise-wise I can run and run..please advise. Thanks      Carlos:  i have searched your database and cannot find your nighttime routine for cleaning/moisturizing your face. I am wondering what I could do to try and prevent wrinkles and have a healthy, smooth face.                                                              Anonymous: Can you explain a little on under eye eyebags and puffiness. I love listening to your podcast! I tell my friends and family. Thanks for all you do.                                                                                                                                                       Lori: Hello Dr. Cabral, I've recently noticed more joint stiffness and mild aches when I wake up in the morning. I'm only in my 40s, so I was surprised by this. What are the most common underlying causes of early joint discomfort, and are there natural ways to support joint health before it gets worse?                                                                              Rocco: Hi Stephen, LOVE your work and your the main person i trust for my health! 2 quick questions, in my morning smoothie (containing avocado, blueberries, banana, psyllium husk, kale), i open 4 capsules of your daily multivitamin, blend it up then drink it over the next 30 minutes. Is that okay that i open the capsules and empty them into my smoothie pre blending, or should i be swallowing them in full capsule form? Finally, is it best to take all vitamins with food, or just follow instructions. I usually take 2-3 Cal-Mag capsules right before bed, as the instructions do not say i need to have it with a meal. Why do some vitamins need to be taken with food, and others not need to be?

Can you actually detox spike proteins from your body after a viral infection?     On today's show, I break down how long spike proteins may remain in the body and why inflammation, preexisting health conditions, and mitochondrial stress often play a bigger role in post-viral symptoms than the proteins themselves.     I'll also share nutrients that appear to help support the body's natural detoxification and recovery process, including enzymes and compounds that aid in circulation, inflammation control, and immune balance, along with foundational immune support you can rely on.     Tune in to today's Cabral Concept 3548 to learn what the science really says and how to strengthen your body's natural defenses from the inside out.     Enjoy the show!   - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/3548 - - - 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?

What if the key to overcoming modern chronic illness could be found in ancient wisdom?     On today's show, I am excited to sit down with Dr. Josh Axe and Jordan Rubin to explore their new book The Biblio Diet, a powerful blend of biblical health principles and modern functional medicine.     We go over how environmental exposures, inflammation, and even emotional states like fear and resentment can weaken the immune system and create the conditions for disease.      The conversation explores biblical nutrition principles, from fasting and prayer to avoiding unclean foods and choosing God-made, unprocessed foods in their natural forms.     We further discuss how ancient dietary wisdom aligns with modern science and global healing traditions like Ayurveda and Chinese Medicine, all emphasizing balance, moderation, and living in rhythm with nature.     Tune in to today's Cabral Concept 3547 to learn how to align your diet, mindset, and spiritual life for optimal health, longevity, and vitality.     Enjoy the show!   - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/3547 - - - 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?

What if your bloating, constipation, or stomach pain had less to do with the food you're eating and more to do with what's living inside your gut?     On today's Unsolved Health Mystery Case, I sit down with Dave to review his Bacteria and Parasite Stool Test results and uncover the deeper reasons behind his chronic digestive issues.     We'll go over how to interpret key gut health markers, what it means to have bacterial overgrowth or a low stool pH, and how stress and stomach acid levels can play a major role in your digestion and overall health.     Join us on today's Cabral Concept 3546 to discover how to safely rebalance your microbiome, repair your gut lining, and finally find relief from long-term digestive discomfort using a functional medicine approach.     Enjoy the show!   - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/3546 - - - 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?

What would someone see if they quietly observed your life for a week with no commentary or judgment, just your daily habits and actions?     On today's show, we explore how real success is built in the quiet moments through consistency, discipline, and daily follow-through, not when others are watching.     Whether you want to improve your health, relationships, or mindset, it's the small, consistent actions, not perfection, that ultimately determine your results.     Tune in to today's Cabral Concept 3545 to learn how to build a life that truly reflects your goals, even when no one is watching.   - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/3545 - - - 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?

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…   Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral I seem to be having very slow motility and lots of undigested food. I might eat 1 meal and stay full/not hungry till the next day. When I do pass the food, so much of it is loose and undigested. I also have what feels like an air bubble that gets stuck in my throat whenever I swallow a pill. It makes it feel as though the pill gets stuck in my throat, but its a feeling that goes down and comes up with drinking of water. Im currently on mag07 and motility activators (combo of artichoke and ginger root) but I still find myself in these situations with much upper stomach pain, bloating and belching. A genesis labs stool test came back fine from the Dr., so not sure I will need a repeat? Ive only been told I have functional dyspepsia and mild gastritis, but thats it. Any advice?                          Jeff: Thank you for all you share. Being married to an IHP2 I'm very blessed with her help with my personal health journey, in addition to "Learning by Osmosis", while she listens and re-listens to every one of your 3000+ podcasts! We just listened to one of your Podcasts recommending using a bamboo cutting board instead of wood and especially plastic. What do you think of the titanium cutting boards that infomercials are pushing now?                                     Darcey: hi Dr. Cabral thank you for everything you've done for us on this health journey. I have a question about the Genesis holistic health, Genesis wild yam cream, a natural and herbal weight to help to restore hormone balance. Do you think that this actually works or do you think it's just a gimmick? it has castor oil, almond oil, grapeseed oil, wild, yam, red clover, chase tree berry, milk thistle, oat straw and cramp bark. You just rubbed too small size amounts morning and night and it's supposed to help rebalance progesterone and estrogen.                                                                                                    Bernice: Hi Dr. Cabral, I absolutely love your podcast and listen to it every day! Thank you for all the great information. I also love your supplements and take the omegas and multivitamins. I am 75 years old and over the last few years have noticed that my skin has become very thin-to the point when I bump into something accidentally, I get these big blotchy red marks. It takes about a week to go away. Is there anything at all that I can do to "thicken" my skin or to prevent these unsightly marks? Thanks so much! Bernice                                                                                                                             Richard: Hello Dr. Cabral, hope you are having a great day! In short, I have had Hashimotos for years and cant seem to get out of this hypothyroid state. I've worked with your amazing team since 2021 and have done every lab and protocol several times. I just finished the CBO & finisher for the 2nd time & now doing my quarterly detox. I also continue to do the heavy metal & parasite protocols annually. I have thyroid tissue destruction as shown by an ultrasound and have narrowed the issue to be this. My EHC recommended the thyroid gland by Vinco. I have tried this several times in the past but it made my insomnia worse & I felt overmedicated. I tried it again after using adrenal energy for several months but still no luck. Can you please provide some info on thyroid glands, the brands you  recommend and how to use them? A podcast dedicated to this would be amazing. I know you can't link products but just talking about them would be very helpful. I could be wrong but it seems like thyroid tissue destruction is rare so its hard to find this kind of info on glandulars. I just ordered the stress,mood & metabolism test to see my adrenal function and I will definitely try the Vinco again after my detox in about a week but I would love your opinion so I have something to fall back on just in case I can't tolerate the glandular. Thanks so much for all that 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/3544 - - - 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?

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:    Lorenzo: Hi Dr. C — We spoke briefly during the September 11th IHP live Q&A about Uterine Fibroids. I've been digging into whether progesterone-only birth control pills contribute to fibroid growth, but the research is all over the place—some say yes, some no, and some say it depends on if the person is taking Progesterone & Estrogen BC, as well as other individual factors. I've linked a few studies below and would love if you could do a deep dive on this to help demystify the topic. I always appreciate your unbiased take and how much your work has helped me and my clients! Thanks! Research Links: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7762035/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37190026/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3184215/                                                                                                                         Angela: Hi Dr. Cabral. I was wondering if you can do a show or comment on vagus nerve stimulation and what your thoughts are on it. I am current using one called Vagustim. I heard of another person using it and helped them with gut health. I have a very stressful job and I am trying to calm myself at night. The stress most likely has caused slow motility leading to SIBO. I think you mentioned you were going to do a podcast on this topic. Thank you.                                                     Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral, I had a colonoscopy done recently. Everything was fine except that they found 1 innocuous polyp (now excised) and a dark colored colon. Due to the color, they asked me if I take stimulant laxatives, which I do not with regularity. Ive probably taken 2 bottles of Senna in my life, so I dont think that would be the cause. I rarely take stim. laxatives due to dependance risks. I do take mag07 every day, which is oxygenated mag oxide to help with bio-availability. I wanted to ask if you would know what else might cause this darkening? Are there any health issues that could be the cause? Im 40 and have been diagnosed with functional dyspepsia and mild gastritis from an endoscopy. Thanks           Jessica: Hi Dr. Cabral..I love my work as a hairstylist but I'm worried about my long-term exposure to chemicals. I don't want to give up my career but I also don't want to end up with chronic health issues from repeated exposure. What steps can I take on a regular basis to help reduce my risk and protect myself while continuing to work? Thank you so much!      Ryan: I  am a 48 year old man , used to be a high end athlete and still like to work out 3x a week so have muscle still but cannot lean out and have lots of fat too. I am 6'1 320 lbs but don't look overly fat. I am concerned for met healthy and organs with this heavy weight. I have Avery bad habit of waking up in middle of night and binge eating - thinking that's my problem but I am half asleep when I do it and have no control, how can I fix this ? Also if you have any healthy daily routines I would to hear them. Thank you                                                                                                                                       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/3543 - - - 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?
