    3698: Retained Reflexes, Weight Loss & Thyroid, Purchasing Pre-Owned Items, Cherry Angiomas, Bloating & Environmental Factors (HouseCall)

    2026/03/22 | 17 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…
     
    Audrey: Hi Dr. Cabral, What are your thoughts on retained reflexes? My almost 3 yr old girl has extreme outbursts every day that involves lots of screaming and yelling. I was told retained reflexes could be the problem. She is extremely smart and started talking at a very young age. I know she is too young for any heavy metal detoxes or parasite cleanses so I'm not sure how to help her. I also have a 4 yr old and a NB so having some peace in the home would be nice. Thanks 
     
     
    Cathy: Dear Dr Cabral, I'm so thankful for you! In the past 1.5yrs I've lost 30lbs and still losing more. Approx 160lb. 5'5" 64yo female. paleo diet. No gluten, dairy, grains or refined sugar.

God bless you! 
     
     
    Anonymous: Hi Dr. C — Big thanks to you and your amazing team for all you do. Question about purchasing pre-owned items: Are there any health concerns about buying used clothing items or bedding (sheets)? I always wash them before using them. Some people are grossed out about "used bedding," but it seems to be the same as going to a hotel: those aren't new sheets on hotel beds. Thanks.                                                          
     
     
    Sarah: Hello doc! I saw somebody say that red dots (cherry angiomas) on the body can be due to poor bile flow. Curious on your take on this? Cheers! 
     
     
    Basak: I had a quick question I wanted to ask. I divide my time between the Netherlands and Miami, and I maintain the same healthy habits in both locations—clean eating, daily exercise, minimal alcohol, and consistent sleep. I generally feel well and have no other complaints. However, I have noticed that whenever I return to Miami, I consistently experience lower abdominal bloating. I was wondering whether it is possible that environmental factors—such as differences in air quality, water, or other environmental exposures in the U.S.—could be contributing to this reaction. I would appreciate your perspective

    3697: Oral Health & 360 Toothbrush, Nattokinase Units, Berberine vs. Gluco Support, JAK2 & Root Cause, Primary Addison's Disease (HouseCall)

    2026/03/21 | 13 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: 
     
    Christina: Dr. Cabral, thank you so much for all you do for our community. My question is about oral health and specifically the use of the 360 one-piece toothbrushes that take 30 seconds to clean the teeth (I.e. Autobrush). Do you think they are as effective as the sonic electric toothbrushes and what is your opinion on them? Additionally, one can choose the fluoride free toothpaste versions, but they require a foaming agent to work. I like the fact that these toothbrushes require less time overall and seem to clean all the teeth, but am a little concerned about the foaming toothpaste that are required for them to wok. Thank you! 
     
     
    Barbara: What is the 12,000 FU that you referred to in your post.
     
     
    Tricia: Hi Dr. Cabral - I'm trying to figure out if I should take your berberine or daily gluco support. Can you please explain the difference, and which one might be better for a 56-year-old female that does struggle to keep weight off and balance blood sugar. I'm not diabetic but I watch it closely. Thank you! 
     
     
    Alex: Hi Dr. Cabral, I am a 37-year-old female diagnosed with JAK2-positive essential thrombocythemia five years ago. My diagnosis followed after an initial finding of iron deficiency. It was confirmed through a bone biopsy. I have recently started following your show and am focused on finding the root cause. I would like to avoid progressing to chemotherapy medications if at all possible. To manage inflammation and support detoxification, I maintain an anti-inflammatory diet, exercise at least five days a week, use a sauna, and take various supplements. My biggest symptom with this disease is fatigue. Could you point me in the right direction of finding the root cause and help lowering my platelet count? Thank you! Alex 
     
     
    Samantha: Hi Dr Cabral, I went into an adrenal crisis in 2023 and was diagnosed with Primary Addison disease and hashimotos. I also have undifferentiated connective tissue disease. I take steroids and thyroid mediation, and also work with an N.D. for recurring EBV, h pylori, and candida. I have reduced the hashimotos antibodies drastically and have hope to eventually go into remission, but my question is, is it possible to heal or go into remission with Primary Addison disease and not be dependent on steroids? Or is it true that with primary Addison disease, the adrenals are "toast?" Though I have reduced the hashimotos antibodies, the 21-hydroxlase Addison antibody is still present. Would love any tips or suggestions. Thank you!!

    3695: Should You Get a Colonoscopy This Year? (TT)

    2026/03/19 | 14 mins.
    Many times, colorectal cancer risk and gut health issues aren't obvious and require a closer look at what's happening inside the body.
     
     
    On today's episode, I break down colonoscopies, one of the most effective preventive tools for detecting and removing polyps before they can turn cancerous.
     
     
    While many assume screenings are only necessary later in life, colon issues can start much earlier, and early detection can prevent serious complications.
     
     
    We also compare colonoscopy to full-body MRI, review the prep, sedation, and potential side effects, and discuss how screening frequency should be tailored based on age, family history, and personal risk.
     
     
     
    Join me on today's Cabral Concept 3695 as I explain how a colonoscopy works, what it can detect, and how to make an informed decision about whether it's right for you this year.
     
     
    Enjoy the show!

    3694: New Candida Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Case Study) (TWT)

    2026/03/18 | 14 mins.
    Many times, the underlying cause to your health concerns isn't obvious and requires looking deeper at what's happening inside the body at the metabolic level.
     
    On today's episode, I break down the New Candida Metabolic & Vitamins Test, one of the most advanced organic acids tests available, measuring more than 75 biomarkers to help uncover hidden imbalances.
     
    While many people struggle with symptoms like bloating, brain fog, skin issues, fatigue, or low mood, the root cause often lies in areas like gut dysbiosis, yeast overgrowth, nutrient deficiencies, or impaired detoxification pathways. 
     
    Functional medicine testing allows us to see these deeper imbalances so we can address them with targeted protocols rather than guesswork.
     
    So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3694 where I walk you through how this simple at-home test works, what the key markers reveal about your health, and how identifying issues like yeast overgrowth or vitamin deficiencies can help guide a personalized plan for healing.
     
    Enjoy the show!
