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…

Tommy: Hello Stephen. I'm an IHP. A year ago I started having dhiarrea daily. My sleep also suffered, waking up in the night unable to fall back asleep even with magnesium/melatonin/breathwork. I had some leftover healthy belly, so began taking 2 morning and 2 night. Everything cleared up, my bowells were perfect , my mind was clearer, my body was calmer. I thought it was the mastic gum that had killed some h-pylori. About 7 days after stopping healthy belly, it all came back again. I've since done a parasite protocol which i had to stop 11 days before the end as I was feeling fatigued. I ran a stool test just before these symptoms and it showed citrabacter friundi. I'm unsure whether to do a parasite protocol again or run another stool test. Appreciate you

Tommy: Hello Stephen, I heard you mention that a certain percentage of folk (possibly with the APOE genotype if memory serves me correctly), experience more inflammation with a higher fat diet. Would it be worth running a generic test to refine my unique needs a bit more as I'm prone to inflammation? Obviously this comes after the basic big 5. And Would it also explain susceptibility to mycotoxins? Thankyou for all that you do

Kay: Hi Dr. Cabral, What would you recommend to 59 or 60 year olds who are a pitta/vata body type and tend to be more catabolic when it comes to your DCD? Would you recommend to modify the 2 fasting days? Both my husband and I are generally ok during Day 1 of the fast, but Day 2 is always so difficult - my husband got bad headaches and because he had to work and focus, he ended up prematurely ending the DCD. I have gotten nausea and chills on Day 2, but the most difficult part for me is just really wanting to eat solid food. It also seems that my muscle tone is weakened afterwards. I know that muscle goes away much quicker when you are over the age of 50. Thanks for all your great podcasts- they are always so informative and I look forward to your response!

Kay: Hi Dr. Cabral- Thanks for your awesome podcasts and the opportunity for us to ask you questions. I'm a 59 year old female and am in menopause. I never had cellulite on my arms and back of my upper thighs and glutes until I began taking HRT. Currently, I am on 1mg oral bioidentical estradiol bid and 100 mg oral progesterone qd at bedtime. I also recently began taking 5 mg DHEA (equilife) bid. I am at a good weight (5'2" 110) and do strength training 3 x per week and walk an average of 10k steps per day. I also have recently incorporated your dry brushing techniques and plan to switch to topical HRT sometime this year with the help of my medical provider. I am wondering what else I can do to eliminate the cellulite?

Shelley: Hello, Dr. Cabral! I have recently gone on a health and wellness journey, going from 228 lbs down to now 167 pounds in just over a year. To aid in the process, of course exercise was a part of it. With the exercise came all the injuries of olde, but mainly my knee. I injured it back in my college years playing tennis and surgery wasn't recommended as they wanted to see if it would heal itself (torn meniscus, mostly in the vascular area). Well, fast forward more years than I care to count, and that residual tear on the avascular portion can be problematic. I have been looking into peptides, specifically BPC-157 and TB-500 to potentially help this knee without surgical intervention. What are your thoughts on peptide use (these two in particular) and do you think they might help my knee?
