    3788: Taking Supplements Daily, Inflamed Gums, How to Lower BP, Where to Start, Mono & Neuropathy (HouseCall)

    2026/06/20 | 18 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: 
     
    Lena: Hi Dr. Cabral, I absolutely love your podcast and listen to it every day! Thank you for everything you do to make us all healthy! My question is, how do you feel about taking supplements for 5 days and then not taking them for 2 days? Is this good for the body or is better to take them every day? Thank you so much! 
     
     
    Hilary: Hi Doc, Thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom with all of us! I recently started going to a biological dentist. He said that my gums are inflamed and gave me an ozone treatment. Is there a root cause or a way to find a root cause for inflamed gums? 
     
     
    Mohamed: Hello Dr.Cabral.. Ive been a daily viewer of your podcast for a few years now.. really struggling. I've watched all your blood pressure videos. Tried everything to lower my dad's Bp. Magnesium, Omega 3, DNS. To no avail. Ive also tried to increase his potassium. It's frustrating.. he takes a combo of Amplodine (CC blocker and Telmisartan ARB) Even that doesn't help.. what do you recommend. He did his minerals and metals lab. Potassium was green, sodium was borderline yellow at 11. Magnesium was a 5 (exactly green). Calcium 66 (green but close to orange). Ca/Mg ratio is high. Ca/K ratio which is elevated. Na/Mg is low. One thing we haven't tried was proteolytic enzymes.. honestly I think it's hardening of Arteries. He's late 60s. Thanks Doc  
     
     
    Karen: Hi, Dr. Cabral I have a lot of health issues: POTS, MCAS, very very low HRV, extreme postprandial heart elevation after eating, extreme fatigue, Ehlers Dahlos/hyper mobility. I saw a functional medicine doctor to try to get on a good health track but it became focused on elimination diet which became too extreme for me because I have a history of an eating disorder. (almost 10 years ago but still, I was losing too much weight for it to be healthy for me) Please advise where to start and if it is possible to get on track without doing elimination diet. Thank you!  
     
     
    Aidan: Hi Dr Cabral, roughly 9 months ago I was sick with mono for about 6 weeks. As my symptoms eased I began to notice a lot of tingling and numbness in my limbs, 90% in the left arm. As I returned to fitness and the feeling went away I found my pressing strength in the left side was very diminished. My tricep, left upper pec, and left lat lost a lot of size and I was unable to load them anywhere close to where I could prior. I went to the a neurologist and it was revealed through EMG I have a pinch in my elbow and neck. It is also suspected that I could have some kind of post viral neuropathy as ever since then I do experience lots of weird tingling in my arms and sometimes legs as well as the strength defect and I am struggling to get back. Looking for any advice, I feel like I'm losing hope

    3786: How to Lower Your ApoB Heart Disease Risk (TT)

    2026/06/18 | 19 mins.
    Are you worried about your cholesterol levels on your labs continuing to climb?
     
     
    While conventional medicine bloodwork typically focuses on total cholesterol, LDL, and HDL, these markers don't always provide a complete picture of cardiovascular risk.
     
     
    The good news is there's a more accurate marker called ApoB that can offer deeper insight. On today's show, I want to break down what ApoB is, why it matters more than traditional cholesterol markers, and the 7 most effective ways you can naturally lower it.
     
     
    Tune into today's Cabral Concept 3786 to learn how to lower your ApoB naturally and support long-term heart health through simple, foundational lifestyle changes.
     
     
    Enjoy the show, and let me know your thoughts!

    3784: PCOS Diagnosis Changed to PMOS & What It Now Means (TWT)

    2026/06/16 | 11 mins.
    Have you ever been told you don't have PCOS simply because you don't have ovarian cysts, even though you're experiencing many of the classic symptoms?
     
     
    On today's show, I share important news that could impact millions of women.
     
     
    After decades of viewing PCOS primarily through ovarian cysts, the medical community is beginning to recognize that it's often a far more complex condition involving hormonal, metabolic, and reproductive imbalances that go well beyond the ovaries.
     
     
    I break down the shift from PCOS to PMOS (Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome), why this update matters, and how it may finally provide more women with the clarity and validation they've long been seeking.
     
     
    I also discuss the underlying root causes behind these symptoms and why focusing on resolution at the root level, rather than simply managing symptoms, is key to achieving lasting results.
     
     
    Join me on today's Cabral Concept 3784 to learn what this new understanding means for women's health and why addressing root causes is essential for long-term healing and recovery.
     
     
    Enjoy the show!
