2962: Postpartum & Bradycardia, Vaping &...

Dr. Stephen Cabral
About this episode

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: 

 

Charlye: Hi Dr. Cabral, I am a 28 yr old female, I'm fit with a muscular body type. I recently had my first baby, she was delivered via c-section at 33 weeks due to fetal distress. 5 days postpartum I was re-admitted to the hospital for high blood pressure with low heart rate. I have always had great blood pressure and I tested negative for preeclampsia. After EKGs and an Ecmo, It was determined I had bradycardia and a Wenckebach block, due to high vagal tone. I've always had a low resting heart, rate 50-60s awake, 40s while sleeping. I also struggle with intense general anxiety and had a stressful pregnancy. I'm curious about the biophysical relationship between the vagal nerve, my bradyarrhythmia, my anxiety, and my pre-term birth and how to approach healing and balancing my body. Thanks!

 

Kathryn: I am currently breastfeeding my toddler and I just haven’t been able to quit vaping. I stopped while I was pregnant but picked up the habit again due to stress about 7 months postpartum. I have stopped for a few weeks here and there but my partner vapes and I always end up vaping again. The nicotine level is the lowest you can get. I’m mostly worried about the heavy metals getting into my breast milk. Is it best to stop breastfeeding if I can’t quit vaping? How much harm am I doing to my child? I wish I had more support from my partner to quit but he assures me it’s harmless. I feel like the worst mother ever.

 

Stacey: Hi Dr.Cabral I just want to say thank you for taking so much time to answer questions and be here for us all ! I just found out my mother has breast cancer . My grandmother and aunt had it as well . We don’t know the stage as of yet . What do you suggest we do for now to help her body get strong enough to fight this . I’m terrified and can’t think of it without crying as I have health issues myself and trying so hard to just keep my head above water for my kids . My mom is my grandmas care taker and it’s just a very scary situation. Also do you suggest BRACA testing for me and possibly removal of my tissue ? I need to have a breast explant so I’m thinking do it then . So much to consider in all of this . Thanks so much for your guidance.

 

Melissa: Question about not sweating during workouts. I am hydrated, I do LMNT water 30 minutes prior and 32 ounces water during. All I drink is water and always has electrolytes in it I just don't sweat easy. I heard on the latest genius life podcast (episode 364 at the 56ish minute mark) that sometimes you can have a cell that holds on and will not release so I'm wondering if you've heard of that and if there's a way to detox so that I can't start sweating easily? I can't sweat if I get an asana or workoutside in the heat. Just not during workouts. And I want to detox.
