3081: Protocol After Detox, Menstrual Cy...

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: 

 

Maggie: I’m on the last week of the 21 Day Detox and feel amazing. Do you recommend I do another protocol of yours?

 

Maya: Hello doctor Cabral, I'm a 45-year-old woman with a lot of goals I want to achieve. However, my monthly cycle appears to hinder my progress. During the initial two weeks post period, I feel enthusiastic, energetic, clear-minded, and ready to conquer the world. But, a few days after ovulation, I experience a decline in energy. My workouts become more draining, my thoughts turn negative, and I struggle to stay on track with my goals. I know that this is likely due to hormonal fluctuations, but I would love to maintain consistent energy levels throughout my cycle. Are there any supplements or strategies I could implement to sustain this energy? It's worth noting that I lead a healthy, active lifestyle and am very mindful of my cycle. Thanks so much for your answer, you're the best! Maya

 

Kristen: Hi Dr. Cabral! Thank you for your podcast, I’ve been learning a lot from it. I’m a dietitian and I’m having a really hard time understanding the food sensitivity tests that functional medicine practitioners use (listened to recent episode on that). This is a test that dietitians generally do not use. From my understanding, these tests reflect a normal ‘reaction’ to the foods that we have recently and regularly eat. When they remove these foods during the elimination phase and retest, it only makes sense that the IgG response to these foods is lower, since it hasn’t recently been eaten. When these clients come to me with these results, I rarely pay attention to the results, but rather focus on ‘cleaning up’ their diets, lifestyle, etc. Would love to hear your thoughts on my view!

 

Jack: I completeled a mycotoxin test I have high mycophenolic acid how can I detox it out of system where did it come from please help

 

Erin: Thoracic pain/tightness…I grew up playing sports and then played competitive golf through college. I remember at the beginning of every round my upper back was always sooo tight and it felt like a really deep tightness. So much so it interfered with my swing but after 3-4 holes it started to loosen. Fast forward to now and it seems my thoracic area is constantly tight and if I do weights or like yesterday, a lot of raking, that area is so sore and tight today. What is causing this and what can i do? Sometimes i feel it constricts my breathing when it gets so tight after heavy weights or physical activity involving my upper body.
