    3828: Blood Tests That Detect Early Cancer (TT)

    2026/07/30 | 14 mins.
    Early detection can make a significant difference when it comes to cancer. 
     
     
    While there is no single blood test that can detect every type of cancer, advances in biomarker testing are providing new tools that may help identify potential concerns earlier.
     
     
    In today's episode, I break down the blood markers and biomarkers that may be used to assess cancer risk, identify potential warning signs, and monitor certain types of cancer.
     
     
    We'll explore how these markers can detect signals from tumor cells, changes in surrounding tissues, or responses from the immune system. I'll also discuss how the effectiveness of these tests varies depending on the type of cancer and why combining appropriate blood work with imaging and other diagnostic tools may provide a more complete picture.
     
     
    So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3828 to discover which blood tests may help detect cancer earlier and why early detection is such an important part of proactive health care.

    3826: The Parasite Outbreak Sickening Thousands Across the U.S. (Cyclospora Parasite) (TWT)

    2026/07/28 | 14 mins.
    A microscopic parasite called Cyclospora has been linked to contaminated fresh produce and has affected thousands of people across the United States.
     
     
    Unlike typical food poisoning, symptoms from Cyclospora may not appear until days or even weeks after exposure, making it difficult to know when or where you were infected.
     
     
    On today's show, I break down what Cyclospora is, the symptoms to watch for, and the foods most commonly associated with contamination.
     
     
    We'll explore simple steps you can take to reduce your risk, what to do if you become sick, and when it's important to seek medical attention.
     
     
    So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3826 to learn what you need to know about Cyclospora and how you can continue enjoying healthy foods while taking practical steps to protect yourself and your family.
     
     
    Enjoy the show, and let me know your thoughts!

    3824: Heart Rate While Running, Taking Electrolytes, Pets & Parasites, Positive Lupus Markers, Best Chick Peas (HouseCall)

    2026/07/26 | 22 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…
     
    Emily: Hi Dr Cabral, thank you for the work you do sharing reputable information with the masses. I'm 39 years old, 10kg over ideal BMI weight, and am a beginner runner. I am running at a slower pace (7-8 mins per km), but my heart rate gets up to a max HR of 180 after maybe 5 minutes then stays there until I walk. I have a Garmin smartwatch so know this is in the 'maximum' HR area. My question is: Is that ok? Is it only because we have monitors these days that we worry about generic metrics? I also know the smartwatch algorithms are based on men, so do I need to worry - or not run at all? I feel well when I run and after, but have a family history of heart disease so don't want to do any damage. Appreciate you! Emily from Australia 
     
     
    Jenny: Hi Dr Cabral - there seems to be a lot of promotion and recommendations lately for daily electrolytes. You mentioned recently who should/should not take them. What about brands? What should we look for and how often can they be taken? Of course the best option is the natural one you recommend - water with sea salt with lemon or lime. But what about brands to buy for when we're on the go? Thank you so much!  
     
     
    Gina: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thank you for everything you do and I'm so grateful to be a part of our IHP community! I had a question for you regarding pets and parasites. I know we can get parasites from our pets and our sheepadoodle sleeps in bed with us like a person. Is there a protocol that you recommend or use for pets to eliminate parasites? I know they sell various options at the pet store but would like to use a brand or method that you trust. I also wanted to ask if you use anything to remineralize your pets' water. Our dogs drink reverse osmosis but didn't know if I should add anything else to their water. Thank you, Gina
     
     
    Gina: Hi Dr. Cabral, Me again with one last question for you. A few years ago, I had a significant autoimmune flare and had positive Lupus markers when my PCP ran bloodwork (ANA and dsDNA). I worked through the functional labs, protocols, made lifestyle changes, and the next time she ran bloodwork, I was symptom free and both markers were negative. I've been symptom-free since then and these markers have remained negative for two years. Recently, both markers came back positive, but the thing is that I feel great. Should I be worried about tissue damage if ANA is positive? I feel grateful that I know what to do this time around, but would appreciate any advice. We also found mold in our house, so working on mold detox and remediation. Thank you so much for everything you do, Gina 
     
     
    Lily: Hi Dr. Cabral, I was wondering, what is the best source for chick peas? Should we stay away from canned chicked peas? Also, is it ok to cook them? Thank you 
     



    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!
