The Cabral Concept

You can't do everything in this one lifetime, which means every decision you make comes with a trade-off, and ultimately, a choice about which regrets you're willing to live with.
 
 
On today's show, I dive into why trying to avoid all sacrifice can create unnecessary stress, and how looking at your life from the perspective of your future self can help you identify what truly matters most.
 
 
We'll explore how to rethink the choices we make, where we often place our time and energy, and a simple perspective that can help bring more clarity to the decisions that shape our lives.
 
 
Join me on today's Cabral Concept 3867 to learn how choosing your regrets can help you create a more intentional, meaningful, and fulfilling life.
 
 
Enjoy the show, and let me know your thoughts!

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…
 
Spencer: Hello Dr. Cabral Working my way out of burn out, and gut issues. Trying to work in b vitamins, but getting some overstimulation. I already shifted to methyl free b9,12 as they were giving me issues likely because of gut health. Should I try to work them in first, or work on lowering stress first? I wanted to have b vitamins in my rotation before attempting the CBO protocol, but not sure if I'm able to. I know excessive oxidative stress etc in the gut can cause methylation issues, but you still need b vitamins for optimal gut health right, so it seems like a chicken and egg scenario. If you could nudge me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it. Thanks for all you do. Almost done with level 1 IHP and looking forward to meeting you at the Reimagining Health Summit in November. 
 
 
Shirra: I have symptoms of MCAS I am breastfeeding where to I begin to heal it what tests to order?  
 
 
Sai: Hello Dr. Cabral, thank you for all your work! 38M, healthy lifestyle, but chronic GERD with a minimal hiatal hernia since 33. On/off PPIs for 5+ years. Had 4 endoscopies in 6 years—just told to take meds. Biopsies/labs confirmed negative for H. pylori and Candida.Off PPIs for months and OK if I eat perfectly. But just one wrong food triggers an intense vicious cycle, requiring weeks of medications to reset. No bloating, constipation, diarrhea, or indigestion. Why won't this tissue heal, and why am I so hyper-sensitive?Recently, a tiny bit of decaf coffee caused severe pain, sudden bowel movements, and a strong sensation of food stuck in my upper abdomen (must walk to move it). Back on meds now. Is chronic reflux inevitable with a minor hernia, or am I missing a root cause? Thank  
 
 
Anonymous: Here's what's happened: 2023: Abdominal ultrasound showed a 7 mm gallbladder polyp; I had no symptoms. 2024: Endoscopy/biopsies found chronic atrophic gastritis, intestinal metaplasia mainly in the stomach body, and ECL/neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia. The pattern suggested autoimmune gastritis/pernicious anemia. No H. pylori, dysplasia, or cancer was found. Follow-up was planned every 2–3 years. July 2026: Repeat endoscopy looked reassuring with no obvious concerning area. Mapping biopsies found a tiny 1 mm, Grade 1, well-differentiated gastric neuroendocrine tumor. The doctor said the visible bump was fully removed. No dysplasia or usual stomach carcinoma was found. Plan: conservative monitoring and repeat endoscopy in 6–12 months. My question: Can this/ autoimmune gastritis be reverse.  
 
 
Nicole: Hi Stephen, A bit of background: I suffer with migraines, which started in 2021 around the time I was living in a mold-exposed environment (I also received the COVID shot that same year). I'm based in Australia. I had urine mycotoxin testing that came back elevated for ochratoxin A, aflatoxins, trichothecenes, and zearalenone. Based on those results, I purchased your Mold Protocol. I've also put on significant weight since the mold exposure. I also recently had a stool microbiome test done, which showed low levels of several beneficial bacteria (including Akkermansia muciniphila and various Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium species), along with an elevated Phocaeico

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: 
 
Michele: My mother has myasthenia gravis - can she take a probiotic instead of a PPI. For acid relux  
 
 
Steve: I have a BMI of 35 and I'm active. I'm 47 years old and need to lose the visceral fat. What's is the easiest way to lose the visceral?  
 
 
Anonymous: Hi, dr. C.I have a question about low blood pressure.We always hear about high blood pressure but what are all the reasons for low blood pressure and is it also dangerous?I've always had low blood pressure &the last time I had it measured it was 91/64 so the nurse was worried &asked me if I was ok.Is it also connected to heart rate?Oura says my resting heart rate has lowered over the past year, now my baseline is 48 (where the line on the readiness tab is full), sometimes my resting heart rate is 47. It was elevated a year ago &when I asked my doctor, they said around 60 is normal for resting heart rate, so is 47 really too low then? My HRV varies between 30s and 50s, so not very high. I'm contributing it to hot summer temperatures as well, but not sure so I would love your input, thank u  
 
 
Anonymous: Hello, hope you & your family are doing great! I checked your shows on irish sea moss & what I got from it is that it's not something you would recommend as there are so many other supplements you would suggest before it. My question is, is it in any way damaging considering it contains carrageenan? Is it different if this is natural carrageenan (since it's apparently derived from irish sea moss)? I'm puzzled because you say we should avoid carrageenan but you don't say that about Irish Sea moss & to me it seems like we should avoid it? I read carrageenan can cause intestinal inflammation, digestive discomfort & a weakened gut barrier but in alkaline diet the irish sea moss is everything & is supposed to help heal the gut… so confusing! That's why I'm asking, I really trust your opinion.  
 
 
Sienna: Hi Dr Cabral - three questions please that seem to have different approaches. (Avoiding Dr. Google) BEST time to take probiotics - does it *actually matter? Depend on the strain? Listened to your podcasts but some refer to on waking (empty stomach) others with food... any general guidance please? Proteolytic Enzymes: 2 "on waking" - empty stomach.. is it ok to combine these with any other "on waking" supplements? Any exceptions? 3. Low Ferritin (21): how long after supplementing could I retest bloods to see any improvements? I know it's not about 1 marker, only Ferritin was LOW. S Iron: 18, S-Transferrin: 2.28, Transferrin Saturation: 31% so the rest "in range"?? does this make a difference? less risk? Iron response has 25mg - would you say that is good dose? thank you!!! Sienna

The best way to help me spread our mission of true natural health is to pass on the good word, and I read and appreciate every review!

Berberine has become well known for its ability to support healthy blood sugar, insulin sensitivity, triglycerides, and metabolic health, but could it offer benefits beyond that?
 
 
On today's show, I dive into new research exploring berberine and its potential role in helping reduce the recurrence of certain cancers. 
 
 
We'll explore what the research found, how berberine may support the body's natural ability to manage damaged cells, and why the results remained lasting even years after participants stopped taking it.
 
 
Join me on today's Cabral Concept 3863 to discover what the latest research reveals about berberine and its potential role in supporting long-term health and cancer prevention.
 
 
Enjoy the show, and let me know your thoughts!
