    In today's increasingly digital world, genuine human connection has become more valuable than ever.
     
     
    While technology, social media, and AI make it easier to communicate, they can also make it harder to build meaningful relationships rooted in trust, presence, and authenticity.
     
     
    On today's episode, I share a modern approach to strengthening personal and professional relationships by focusing on what truly matters, giving others your full attention, showing genuine interest, following through on your commitments, and leading with integrity.
     
     
    Join me on today's Cabral Concept 3776 as we discuss how to build stronger relationships and deeper trust in a world full of distraction. Enjoy the show, and let me know your thoughts!

    3775: Coughing After Eating, Cardio & Kidney Health, Creatine & Appetite Loss, Longevity Supplements Long-Term, AFIB & Peptides (HouseCall)

    2026/06/07 | 19 mins.
    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…
     



    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!
     
    Kim: What would cause my son to cough hard for hours after eating? He has done this for a year. He is 28 and said he is to the point where he just does not want to eat. Should he do the CBO protocol? 
     
     
    Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral, I came across your podcast a few months ago and have been listening daily to catch up on past episodes for general health education. Thank you for the valuable information you share. I would appreciate your guidance on diet and lifestyle for the following situation. My partner, a 31-year-old male, recently had an eGFR test done, and his result increased from 70 to 77. His father passed away in his 40s due to kidney failure, so this is a concern for us. We live in the Caribbean, where it is humid year-round. He strength trains 3–4 times per week and plays basketball once weekly, but I'm unsure if his cardio levels are sufficient for long-term kidney and overall health.  
     
     
    Christine: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thank you so much for everything you do! Your IHP program and your podcast have been life changing for me. I have a question about creatine. I've noticed when I take it, my appetite completely plummets and food does not even taste good. And when I cut out creatine, the appetite comes back within a day. I take around 1g for reference, and I'm 5'1 and 115 lbs if that needs to be taken into consideration. What could be the possible reasons for this? Thank you! Christine  
     
     
    Tricia: Good morning, Dr Cabral - hope you are well! I take many of your supplements with some being from the longevity line. I'm wondering if it is okay to take these ongoing for years or should we take a few weeks break from time to time? Are they as effective when used long term? The supplements I'm taking are your renewal system, eye health, hair supplements. Thank you for your guidance! 
     
     
    Matt: Hi Dr Cabral, I'm a healthy 45yo, strength train 3x per and 2 days of jiujitsu. I had my first ever episode of AFIB and it occurred about 5 min after taking a growth hormone peptide Tesamorelin. I went to the ER the next day and came out of it on my own within 14 hours of when it started and haven't had an episode since. They ran all kinds of blood work, EKG, CT w contrast for blood clots and all came up clear. They seemed to think it was from excessive caffeine use (300-500mg daily) and bad sleep but weren't really sure on the peptide as there's not enough research. Seems to me that's what triggered it. I stopped caffeine&peptides immediately and have really been trying to dial in my sleep for the past two weeks. Could this be a one off thing or am I more likely to have it happen again?

    3774: Low Ferritin, Lisinopril & Creatine, Alpha-Gal Syndrome, Yearly IgG Testing, Supplements During Detox (HouseCall)

    2026/06/06 | 14 mins.
    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: 
     
    Kay: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thanks for your very informative and interesting podcasts. How would you advise a post-menopausal 60 y.o family member if they tested low in ferritin (39.4 ng/mL)? I've read that this biomarker shows how much energy your body's cells have and low levels would result in symptoms like fatigue, low energy/easily tired and excessive hair shedding. This family member suffers from these symptoms. Other biomarkers revealed low AM cortisol and low LDL-C/ApoB ratio (1.1) and low basal metabolic rate of 1143 kcals/day. Although her TSH tested normal (1.3 uIU/mL), she's been on levothyroxine 75 mcg to manage hypothyroid. Her high-sensitivity CRP was not optimal at 1.49 mg/L and she has a family history of heart disease. What would you recommend for this family member? Thanks 
     
     
    Earl: I am currently on 20 mg of lisinopril daily. Also, my GFR is 62. Would either of these be a concern when considering creatine?  
     
     
    Alesi: Dr.Cabral, can you please explain Alpha-gal syndrom? Why does it happen, how to confirm it by testing and how would you approach it? Is it treatable? Thank you 
     
     
    Peter: Hello, Dr.Cabral. I am an integrative health practitioner and would like to thank you for helping me understand the underlying causes of human imbalances. There is one thing that makes no sense to me though…regarding IgG testing, why would you recommend to test every year? Why doesn't suffice to test once and simply stay away from intolerant food items? Why would these intolerances change? Also, in my country there are IgG4 vs IgG1-3 testing options, what are the differences? Thank you very much for your time and knowledge you share with us.  
     
     
    Dipali: Hi I want to start 7 days detox plan, I already did your minerals and heavy metal test, I got my results back. My question is I am taking berberine, oregano oil and magnesium citrate,( I am prediabetic my Hba1c is 6.2)do I need to stop before starting detox method. Thanks  
     

     

    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!

    3772: Do You Know Your Agatston Score for Longevity? (Coronary Artery Calcium CAC Score) (TT)

    2026/06/04 | 13 mins.
    Heart disease often develops silently for decades before symptoms ever appear, which is why early detection can be one of the most powerful tools for protecting long-term health and longevity.
     
     
    On today's show, I break down the Coronary Artery Calcium (CAC) Score, also known as the Agatston Score, and why it may be one of the most important cardiovascular screening tools for adults over 40.
     
     
    We'll explore what this scan measures, how the scoring system works, and what different score ranges may reveal about your future heart disease risk.
     
     
    I'll also explain the limitations of the test, why plaque buildup can begin long before symptoms arise, and how lifestyle, inflammation, blood sugar balance, and other health markers all play a role in cardiovascular health.
     
     
    Most importantly, you'll learn why prevention and early awareness matter so much, and how foundational health habits may help support long-term heart health and healthy aging.
     
     
    So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3772 as we take a closer look at the CAC Score and what it may reveal about your cardiovascular health and longevity.
