Overview
This episode of Cabral House Call features Dr. Cabral addressing six listener health questions, covering topics such as abdominal pain, supplement combinations, fatty liver, mold detox, dry eyes, and omega-3 digestion issues. Each question receives practical, science-based advice with an emphasis on root causes and actionable protocols.
Abdominal Pain and Swollen Lymph Node (Kayla)
- Sharp pain in lower left abdomen could be due to various causes, including lymph nodes, gut issues, or referred pain from other organs.
- Only a medical doctor can provide a definitive diagnosis; lab testing is recommended for clarity.
- Suggests running gut or broader functional labs to determine the underlying issue for targeted treatment.
Supplement Combinations and Longevity Protocol (Jenny)
- Longevity line supplements are formulated to complement existing foundational and immune support protocols.
- It is safe to add longevity products to regular regimens if labs do not indicate contraindications.
- Recommends discussing personal supplement integration during coaching calls for tailored guidance.
Fatty Liver Causes and Recovery (Hans)
- Fatty liver is commonly due to excess alcohol, fructose, and inflammatory processed foods.
- Improving nutrition and exercise can often resolve fatty liver and related conditions.
- Recommends "The Rain Barrel Effect" book for comprehensive health strategies.
Mold Detox and Sinus Colonization (Melly)
- Effective mold protocols address both internal factors and immune system balance.
- Neti pot, saline, and certain nasal sprays can help target mold in nasal passages.
- Annual blood work (CBC, lipid panel) is suggested during heavy detox; retest mold and gut status post-protocol for progress assessment.
Chronic Dry Eye Linked to PCOS (Crystal)
- Root cause of dry eye may be ongoing PCOS, which involves hormonal and metabolic imbalances.
- Overcoming PCOS can alleviate dry eye by reducing inflammation and restoring hormonal balance.
- Recommends functional lab testing (Big Five, stress/hormone panels) to guide root-cause correction.
Omega-3 Burping and Digestion (Michael)
- Burping omega-3s is typically caused by low stomach acid, often linked to H. pylori or SIBO.
- Addressing H. pylori and restoring stomach acid production is crucial.
- Suggests starting with liquid omega-3 and completing gut protocols to resolve the underlying issues.
Recommendations / Advice
- Seek professional medical diagnosis and targeted lab testing for persistent or unclear symptoms.
- Prioritize addressing root health imbalances to resolve multiple symptoms.
- Integrate new supplements thoughtfully and consult with health practitioners regarding potential overlaps.
- Use nasal cleansing techniques for sinus-related mold; follow up with appropriate retesting for effectiveness.
- Read "The Rain Barrel Effect" for holistic strategies on restoring health.
