3494: Chi Machine Recommendations, Sweat...

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: 

 

Bettina: Hi Dr. Cabral, I live in Denmark and unfortunately I'm unable to purchase the Chi Vitalizer Machine Original. I'm therefore looking for a great alternative. Are you familiar with the Sun Ancon Chi Machine (Original), developed by Dr. Shizuo Inoue in Japan? It has a fixed speed of 140 swings per minute and features a durable AC motor. What do you consider important when choosing a Chi machine? Thanks for all that you do.            
 
 
Ann: Hi Dr. Cabral :) If no one has told you today you are very much appreciated :) I sometimes struggle with getting my sauna sessions in in the summer months.If I go for a run and come back super sweaty (staying in Zone 2-3 cardio range for 30-45 minutes) is that having the same effects as my infrared sauna? Hoping to be able to count it as a session! Thank you in advance!    
                                                                                  
Spencer: Hello Dr. Cabral, I'm currently overwhelmed by my situation. I've ran the big 5 as well as some Gi testing, and have found that I have dysbiosis, SIBO, chronic stress, mycoxtoin (mold exposure at work), and trauma. Not sure what happened to me at a young age, but my mom told me I stopped eating fruits and veggies at a young age, and I never tried eating them until more recently at 34 years old. I'm suffering every symptom in the book. I tried the CBO 2 years ago without any success, because the stress I was under was too much. I've began working on my nervous system and I've started IHP Level 1. I feel like it's just so many things stacked against me, especially the mental/spiritual side, which I feel is holding me back from everything and I don't know what to do. I'm down to a few foods.      
                   
 
Spencer: Follow up. The mold rabbit hole is growing every week and it seems like it can cause every single symptom down to the nervous system dysregulation and sibo and chronic stress and everything, and If I can't get out of the environment it seems insurmountable. I also don't even know how much of an issue it's causing to my issues because I have so many. It could just be overflowing the rain barrel. I'm a boxing trainer and have to train clients all day and I have no energy left in the tank. I've began IHP to work my way out of this current career, but need some help in the interim. My body is so taxed I can't workout, sauna, or do really anything at this point…                    
 
                                                          
Ellen: I am a 65 year old female. Had an iron panel test done. My Ferritin is 74 which is in normal range, but my serum iron is low at 34, when the normal range is 50-212. The saturation is 13 when the normal range is 20-50. The TIBC is 270 which seems to be in the normal range. Not sure what this means. I have low hemoglobin at 11.3 and borderline low hematocrit at 34.9. I take an iron supplement but just wondering why my body doesn't seem to be absorbing it. One more thing is that I have a high platelet level at 475 when the range is 140-375.
