2697: Bentonite Clay & Slow Gut, Low Cor...

Dr. Stephen Cabral
About this episode

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…

 

Luis: Hi Dr Cabral, Would you recommend Bentonite Clay for someone with slow gut motility/chronic constipation/gut cramping? Would it be fine to take Mimosa Pudica seeds with such conditions? I would be somewhat concerned about possible impactions. Thanks

 

Jennifer: Hi Dr. Cabral, I love all of the information you provide and trust and appreciate your guidance! I am a 48-year-old female with pretty regular cycles still. I recently had the Dutch hormone test and it showed that I have high estrogen and low progesterone and cortisol. I sleep well. I average 8-9 hours a night, with 1.5 hours deep sleep and 2 hours of REM. But I am tired throughout the day, and I always feel like I am in fight or flight. I started taking your progesterone support supplement, and I was taking adrenal soothe to help reduce my RHR - it averages around 80 even when sleeping. It was helping to lower my RHR, but I am concerned about my low cortisol levels and fatigue. Would adrenal soothe still be okay, and what about the adrenal energy support? Any feedback is appreciated.

 

Nana: Hi Dr. Cabral, I really admire your continuous pursuit of knowledge and sense of wonder. I was wondering, how are you able to retain information from all the books and articles you read long term?

 

Dani: Hi Dr Cabral, what’s your opinion on Yohimbine HCL for fat loss/ fatburner? Is it effective and safe? And if so , can you recommend a brand you trust? Thanks!

 

Ryan: In 2018 I had my gall bladder removed and my base weight shot from 185 to 205. I have found it extremely hard to rid myself of excess fat. I have done some intense programs that have had only minor & short term success. As soon as my protocols stop I return to my original composition. My PCM suggested markers of metabolic disorder, but my blood panels don’t show anything abnormal (such as thyroid issues). I am definitionally a kapha body type and can’t seem to make any progress. I’m told “ah, that’s just aging,” but I must believe I can still improve. Are there links to weight gain and gall bladder removal that can be mitigated? I’m a 32 year old, 5’9” male. I run semi-regularly and lift weights 4-6x per week and under the supervision trainers.

 

Suzanne: Hi doctor Cabral, I've been listening to a podcast, in which an MD was talking about different health risks of women who have never had children. He was specifically talking about a higher risk of breast cancer., etc. I'm in my mid forties and chose not to have kids, so I'm curious to hear your opinion about this. Is it true? And if so, what are the things that we can do in order to reduce these health risks? Thanks so much for your help, I really value your opinion and expertise.
