    3802: Tuning Forks, Eye Pressure, Maintaining Kidney Transplant Health, Low Vitamin D, Melatonin & Sleep (HouseCall)

    2026/07/04 | 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: 
     
    Jenny: Hi Dr. Cabral - I couldn't find a prior question on this topic, so I thought I would ask. What are your thoughts on the use of tuning forks? I have seen ads which claim they are great at calming the nervous system and help with sleep, but I thought I would come to my most trusted source first! Thank you so much to you and your team.  
     
     
    Jenny: Hi Dr. Cabral-I have a good news update to share based on a previous question. Awhile back I asked for your advice regarding the pressure in my eyes. I shared my father was diagnosed with glaucoma at a young age and was prescribed several daily eye drops to reduce the pressure in his eyes for the last 20 years of his life (he lived to 85). He evenually lost his vision completely. My eye doctor has commented about my raised pressure for the past couple of years and several months ago recommended I start the same series of drops. I wanted to try other options first, so I asked here. I already follow the daily protocol level 2 and include Daily Omega 3, and quarterly detoxes. You suggested Daily Vision Support and InflammaSoothe also. My eye pressure is now at a safe level. Thank you so much!  
     
     
    Sophia: Any thoughts on how to maintain kidney function of a transplanted kidney? I have mine for going-on 20 years now  
     
     
    Mickey: Hello, I've tested my Vit D twice now in the last two years and it's incredibly low (28!) and now unchanged despite taking a high dose of D3/K2 (10,000 IU) a few times a week for about a year. I get that there can be underlying causes but I also wonder if I'm taking it wrong? I've heard taking it with a meal containing fat or magnesium is best for absorption. I do live in WI but try to get sun but I think this is so low I need supplementation. Any info is greatly appreciated, thank you so much! 
     
     
    Tricia: Hi Dr Cabral - Thanks so much for doing these podcasts each weekend! Quick question on melatonin. I'm 56 YO female and recently started taking one dropper most nights and found I was still waking at 2am so I added the sleep support supplement (periodically). I don't take either all the time because honestly, I don't feel the melatonin is helping and really the next day I feel sleepier and have a headache. Is that normal? At first, I thought it was helping but now I'm not so sure. I don't have a chronic issue of not sleeping but I go periods of good sleep and not so good sleep. Possibly hormonal? I did test and I'm estrogen dominant. The IHP started me on progesterone support 3 at night. It was helping me sleep like a baby so I'm not sure what is going on lately. Thank you!

    3800: Perimenopause Case Study on Low Energy, Mood & Brain Fog (TT)

    2026/07/02 | 32 mins.
    Have you noticed your energy declining, your motivation fading, or your recovery taking longer than it used to?
     
     
    The frustrating part is that these changes often happen long before a diagnosis or obvious health issue appears.
     
     
    Sometimes the missing answers aren't found by looking at symptoms alone… they're found by understanding what's happening beneath the surface.
     
     
     On today's show, I review Ash-Leigh's real client lab results and uncover how mineral imbalances, chronic stress patterns, and nervous system strain may be contributing to fatigue, brain fog, low motivation, and poor recovery.
     
     
    You'll learn how functional lab testing can reveal hidden patterns involving adrenal function, electrolyte balance, nutrient status, heavy metals, sleep quality, and more.
     
     
    We'll also discuss practical strategies to support deeper sleep, rebuild resilience, and restore energy naturally.
     
     
    So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3800 to discover how personalized testing can help uncover the root causes behind low energy and guide you toward better health.
     
     
    Enjoy the show and let me know your thoughts!

    3799: How to Create an Adaptive Metabolism (WW)

    2026/07/01 | 19 mins.
    Do you feel like your metabolism isn't working the way it used to?
     
     
    Many people believe that metabolism is simply about how many calories they burn each day, but true metabolic health is about much more than that. A healthy metabolism should be flexible, resilient, and able to efficiently adapt to changes in food intake, exercise, stress, and daily life.
     
     
    On today's episode, I explain what it means to have an adaptive metabolism and why metabolic flexibility is one of the most important factors for long-term weight management, energy production, and overall wellness.
     
     
    You'll learn the key lifestyle factors that influence metabolic health, how to support your body's ability to efficiently burn fuel, and why sustainable habits often outperform extreme diets when it comes to achieving lasting results.
     
     
    Join me on today's Cabral Concept 3799 as we explore how to create an adaptive metabolism and build a stronger foundation for long-term health, energy, and vitality.
     
     
    Enjoy the show, and let me know your thoughts!
