    3852: Hydrogen Tablets, Cystic Fibrosis & Newborn, Help For Ulcers, Hemifacial Spasms, PANDAS & OCD (HouseCall)

    2026/08/23 | 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…
     
    Ericka: Hi Dr. Cabral! I was wondering if the hydrogen tablets are just as good as the machine you use? I want to save for it, but until then, are the tablets just as good? 
     
     
    Michelle:  My son and daughter-in-law are 20 weeks pregnant with their first child and just found out their unborn baby has Cystic Fibrosis. They are extremely health conscious individuals with food, exercise, sauna, yoga and meditation and are curious how to begin navigating this new diagnosis from a functional medicine perspective once the baby is born while also working with their CF medical team. You've answered one question about CF several years ago stating to be cautious with mucus causing foods and be careful with food combining. Do you any other thoughts you feel would be helpful? 
     
     
    Maria: You're an amazing person. Keep sharing your knowledge.I couldn't find anything on ulcers. Do you have any treatment for them? Thanks again for all you do..  
     
     
    Donelle: Hi Dr. Cabral - I'm currently finishing up IHP Level 1 and loving it so far! I have a specific question regarding a condition my husband has developed over the last year+. He has hemifacial spasms on one side of his face. It started with an eye twitch but spread down his cheek and toward his mouth over time. He had a head/neck MRI done. No issues noted. Currently, he is receiving botox injections in the area every 3-4 months as needed. He takes good supplements (fish oil, magnesium, DNS, berberine, etc.) but nothing helps to resolve this. Any advice you can share would be most appeciated! Thank you, Donelle  
     
     
    Denice: My son has been suffering with Pandas. Main symptom is OCD. Where do we begin?

    3851: Elevated CRP, Turmeric & Black Pepper, Lipedema Help, Laser Therapy & Brain Health, Chronic Hepatitis B (HouseCall)

    2026/08/22 | 15 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: 
     
    Anonymous: Good day Dr.Cabral, your doing great work! Can't imagine how proud your family and team are to have you. My question is regarding elevated CRP (didn't do HS-CRP) just did bloodwork for CRP. Which was 13. Also Lip (a) is 180.. which is high due to genetics. In combination.. A1C is creeping up at 6.1.. I know your not giving health advice however, what foods, products help? Berberine? Omega 3s? Thanks!  
     
     
    Matthew: Hi Dr Cabral-thanks for everything you do. My question is on turmeric. I have seen posts that turmeric supplements, especially those that also contain black pepper, are harmful to the liver. Do you agree? If so, what about turmeric that do not include the black pepper? If turmeric supplement's harm to the liver is higher than the benefit, do you have suggestions on a replacement? Thank you
     
     
    Jasmine: I think my daughter has Lipedema, I've watched a few of your videos and have researched this topic but have never had this topic addressed: she drinks about a liter and a half of water a day, but doesn't urinate that much, never gets up at night, can go the whole day without. Is this affecting her Lipedema and any info you can share, your ideas/opinions would be appreciated. We do things holistically, no drugs unless absolutely necessary (emergency situations), and I don't think diuretics are the way to go. Thanks for any info, Jasmine  
     
     
    Andrea: Hi Dr. Cabral, What is your opinion of the laser therapy for the brain for improved cognition, lymphatic flow? I was made aware of PBM would love to know your opinion. Thanks for everything, grateful for you!  
     
     
    Anonymous: Good morning Dr.Cabral, How would you go about supporting the body naturally dealing with Hepatitis B (chronic).. This has unfortunately been undetected for years due to being born in East Africa. In turn, this long-term Hep B has lead to Hepatocellular caricoma.. However, after a lot of research, the root cause was the Chronic Hep B.. want to deal with this then support the body to shrink the liver mass. Thoughts? Not asking for medical advice. did the HTMA (was unremarkable) but noticing a bit of itching and upper abdominal pain.

    2026/08/20 | 13 mins.
    If you're using melatonin to sleep better, new research may change how you think about when and how much to take.

    I'll break down what researchers discovered about the ideal dosage, why timing may depend on the type of melatonin you take, and how your age and individual needs can influence the amount that works best for you.
     
     
    So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3849 to discover what the research really says about melatonin and how to use it more effectively to support deeper, more restorative sleep.

    3848: Low Fat vs. Low Carb for Weight Loss (Research Winner) (WW)

    2026/08/19 | 16 mins.
    Faster weight loss on the scale doesn't always mean greater fat loss, but could the type of diet you choose influence how much body fat you lose, how satisfied you feel, and how much you naturally eat?
     
     
    On today's show, I explore the research comparing ketogenic, low-carb, and whole-food plant-based diets and what these approaches can teach us about sustainable weight loss.
     
     
    I'll break down why rapid weight loss can sometimes be misleading, how food quality and fiber may influence calorie intake and satiety, and why there may not be one "best" diet for everyone.
     
     
    So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3848 to separate fact from fiction and discover what the research really says about keto, plant-based eating, fat loss, and long-term weight management.
     
     
    Enjoy the show, and let me know your thoughts!
