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:
Dana: I'm a 42 year old woman in perimenopause. During the middle part of my cycle, around when ovulation should be happening, I notice that my urine has a very strong smell compared to the rest of my cycle. This lasts about a week. I'm not dehydrated and I don't eat anything differently during this time than I do any other time of the month. This has been going on monthly for at least 6 months but probably closer to a year or more. Is there any cause for concern? What could be causing this? Is this something that can be expected with hormone fluctuations, and if so, why would it have started now but not been going on the rest of my life?
Anonymous: I'm in perimenopause and working with a functional medicine doctor who determined that all 3 of my sex hormones were low. She has put me on several supplements including Pregnenolone. After taking the supplements I noticed that I was experiencing joint pain while not having changed anything else diet or exercise wise. After some removing and adding back I determined that it is the pregnenolone that is causing the joint pain, she finds it very odd. What reasons would this be happening? I live in a country where I can't order your supplements, what would be the best things to take to help boost hormones if I can't take pregnenolone?
Anonymous: Hi Dr CaBral! I recently got my IUD out due to constant spotting and some news about family getting cancer from years of hormone replacement. After having one for many years on and off, I thought it best to let my body just get back to it's natural state. I did a 7day detox and started taking progesterone support for a month after. After 3 months my cycles have returned back to normal, but I've started losing my hair, have dry skin and just dragging all the time now. My chiropractor/naturopath muscle tested and ovaries were not optimal at all, thyroid was a 2 out of 10, my system is showing blocked and my body is having a hard time detoxing on it's own. Overall I'm very healthy and was not having issues until now. I don't have the money to test right now. What can I do to get back on track?
Mackenzie: About a year and a half ago, I started getting what seems to be eczema flare ups around my eyes, specifically my eyelids and outer corners of my eyes. When it flares up, my eyelids become red, swollen, itchy and watery. The skin becomes thick and very dry and flakey. Around the time it began, I did move into a new building, and my partner has noticed a spot on his neck similar to what I get around my eyes. It seems to flare up more when I eat too much sugar/gluten, but I also sometimes have flares when I don't eat those things. Recently it has only flared when I have a virus, ie a cold/flu or HSV outbreak. I'm an IHP1, and recently completed the Vita-Min Tox test and the only thing noted was slightly high aluminum levels which I am working on. What do you rec. I focus on next? Thank you!!
Anonymous: Hello Dr.Cabral, hope you are well. Regular viewer of your weekly ask cabral content. Not asking for medical advice but wanting to support my immune system during immunotherapy for my liver. They mention potential autoimmune side effects, I know your releasing a new resource or course regarding cancer. Hoping you touch on Immunotherapy on it. I read your research page. It was very extensive and helpful.
