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: Hello Dr. Cabral, I would like your opinion on an EFSA warning about three supplements: Ashwagandha Intenso, Brain Life, and Curcumin C3 Complex. EFSA reports that ashwagandha may affect the immune system and thyroid function, while curcumin may impact the liver, the GI system, and, during pregnancy, contribute to lower birth weight. EFSA sets the maximum daily intake of curcumin at 210 mg for a 70‑kg adult. Brain Life contains 600 mg, and Curcumin C3 Complex contains 1000 mg, which both exceed this limit. I would appreciate your assessment of the safety of these dosages.
Justin: Hello Dr. Stephen Cabral. I just want to start off and say I think you are the most genuine and honest person people can follow right now and I love what you do. I'm about to start the 21 day detox and then plan on moving to the CBO protocol. I'm an ectomorph body type and I work out 3-4 days a week. I know in previous podcasts you have said that my body type needs lots of carbs and protein before and after a heavy lifting workout. I want to continue to try and get some workouts in during this time to keep up my strength and was wondering what you recommend since the meals are separated by 3.5 hours. I know not to workout during the shake fast days and I'm only doing those on the first 2 days since I'm not trying to loose weight. Thanks!
Tricia: Hi Dr. Cabral - At different times of our lives, we all go through very stressful life events. As I've gotten older, I really don't handle stress as well. I'm 56 years old. My father is 95-years old, doing great but I see I'm doing more and more and eventually I will be doing more care giving and running between two houses. I'm preparing my cabinet with your best supplements which all have been amazing and work just like you say they do! So, thank you! I do take the Sleep Support supplement once in a while as needed. During stressful events, would you recommend your Adrenal Soothe at dinner along with full spectrum magnesium then the sleep support at bed? I know how important our sleep is and I just can't turn off my mind when life gets to be too much sometimes. Thank you!
Sienna: Hi Dr. Cabral - thanks for ALL you do! I ran an omega 3 test, apparently I came back in the top 1% lol AA/EPA ratio: 4.3:1 Omega 6:3 ratio is 4.5:1 (it says the ideal is 3.1 - 3.9) Trans Fat index: 0.18% Omega 3 index: 8.33% I did run my cholesterol markers recently: Total Cholesterol 4.8 optimal HDL 1.4 (low-opt) LDL 3.3 (mild elev) Trig: 0.62 (excellent) Ratio: 3.4 (good) Also, TSH 1.1, FT4: 16 BUT FT3 2.3.... HELP! LOW Ferritin (21) I know you explain we dont look at one marker in isolation, but if it were you what would you be looking at (min effort, max dose) I do psyllium husk daily (about 10g) and Omega-3 Support as well as the foundations (DESTRESS) Any concerns with cholesterol? 43, Active, healthy, Female :) (Cant run EL labs) x
Stephanie: Hi Dr Cabral! I was diagnosed with sjogrens and lupus this year and my dr started me on plaquenil. I am 33 years old and I do not want to be on this medication forever but with being child bearing age and looking to start a family in the next year, they require me to be on it during pregnancy. I have been following your podcast for years and use all of equilife's supplements, follow the quarterly detox, etc. I do the daily foundational protocol and the immunity supplements I use are histpro and mushroom supplement. My understanding of autoimmunity is the immune system is overactive. Are these supplements activating my immune system too much? What are your suggestions I do to help be able to put my autoimmune into remission? I deal with mostly fatigue, joint/muscle pain. Thank you.
