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:
Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral! What are the possible reasons for a person never dreaming while sleeping? Have you ever seen or heard of this? Could it be a nervous system issue? Maybe a result of some kind of trauma? This person would insist there has never been any sort of trauma. Maybe it’s not an issue at all and there’s just a portion of the population who don’t dream? I find it very strange as I dream every night very vividly. Looking forward to hearing your experience with this! Thanks!
Katie: Hi Dr Cabral, Could you please help with some advice for my teen sons acne. After seeing a Naturopath he has been off sugar, dairy and processed foods for 4 months with not too much change. He currently takes zinc and a probiotic and does clay masks.The only option he has been given from his gp is 3 to 6 months of antibiotics and Accutane which we want to avoid due to side effects and long term damage. As well as the pimples he already has alot of scarring and he is only 14. Thankyou for your time we appreciate it :)
Lindsay: I’d love to hear your thoughts on a shortened follicular phase. This is something I have been struggling with for the last 7-8 years. I wear an Oura ring and can clearly tell when I ovulate based on temperature change, vaginal discharge, and mittelschmerz. I typically bleed for 5 days at the beginning of my cycle and ovulate around day 10, resulting in a 24 day cycle. My luteal phase is always 13-14 days in length. In November I ovulated on day 7! I couldn’t believe it, I bled for 5 days, ovulated on day 7, and then had a 14-day luteal phase for a 21-day cycle. No history of birth control or health struggles to speak of, and not on any medication. No obvious hormonal issues: clear skin, healthy blood sugar levels, healthy weight, sleep well, and exercise regularly. 39 years old.
Kelsi: hi dr. cabral! a question about sauna - is it still beneficial for someone who experiences elevation in blood sugar during / after a session? thank you.
Aaron: I've noticed that I'm more prone to tendonitis and muscle strain as I get older. I try to lift weights 2 to 4 times a week when I'm not injured. I'm interested to hear your thoughts as a physical trainer on how to increase muscle and strength without overstressing tendons. I'm especially interested to hear how you balance the workout advice with the DESTRESS protocol and supplementation. I try to eat whole food, try to exercise whole body workout daily, trying to reduce stress (big problem for me), I'm working on reducing toxins, worst sleep (my biggest problem I'm working on), very vata/anxious, can't take DNS because I'm sensitive to B6, but I do maintain my methylation, vit D, and magnesium, healthier now than I have been. Appreciate you sharing your knowledge and experience, thanks
