• 3263: Skin & Gut Heath, Finding Holistic Care, Chemical Taste, Benign Growths, Hyperlipidemia(HouseCall)
    Jan 11 2025
    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: Amy: Hi Dr. Cabral. First, thank you for all you do for the health community! You are my most trusted source of information. I'd love to get your thoughts on a red patch under my right eye. I've suffered through it flaring up and going away over half of this year. My dermatologist has tried 2 creams and we recently did a skin allergy test. While this was helpful, nothing has made it actually get better. I have a sneaking suspicion that it is more gut related than contact allergen related. Do you have any thoughts on ways to go about finding this root cause? Thanks! Melissa: Hi! I just moved out of state and am in my mid 40s with menstrual irregularities. I’m feeling overwhelmed trying to find a new primary care and OBGYN that practices holistically with functional medicine therapies. How does one go about finding one. Or should I opt to doing a hormone therapy specialist? Anonymous: Hi Dr. C, For several mornings now Ive been having a weird, somewhat sour chemical taste in my mouth. I believe this is due to my chronic constipation as my morning bowel movements are often incomplete, and any subsequent movements I have after my first one will smell more strongly of this sour chemical taste I wake up with in my mouth. My urine will have this smell as well. It does not smell of feces, just sort of chemically. I also have lots of pain in the area right below the sternum and seems to be chronic, and only reduces with the more bowel movements I have. Im already taking many magnesium supplements, motility activators, tudca, and miralax but I still find myself in these situations quite often. My stomach will often make high pitch, squealing sounds as if its straining Lynne: Hello and thank you so much for all you do for all of us! I'm trying to understand why I tend to get benign growths such as lipomas. I also have a lump on my breast that has been there since I was 20. I am 52 and have gone through menopause and thought it would dissipate after the estrogen level dropped so dramatically. I also had hyperparathyroidism...another growth. Finally, I have a lymph node that feels like a tiny hard nodule on my neck (at the top near the ear). I have been taking proteolytic enzymes, am not overweight, exercise daily and eat a very clean diet. I would greatly appreciate any advice. Thank you! Sorry, I forgot to mention that I listened to previous HouseCalls and have tried all of those things: massage, rebounder, sauna, dry brushing, castor oil, detoxes, etc. I have been doing these for a number of years. Jill: Thanks for sharing your expertise and experience. I have a history of hyperlipidemia but through diet & lifestyle efforts have kept my cholesterol levels in check. Within the last few years, the levels have begun to climb and some of my inflammatory markers are worrisome. I am 53, post menopausal, and live an active lifestyle. I would like to avoid statins; however, I have been taking Icosapent Ethyl and Ezetimibe for the past 6 months and have seen a lowering of both my triglycerides and cholesterol to normal ranges again. My APOB is 139, LpA is 102 but my CT cardiac score is a zero. Where do I go from here? Is there any other testing I should consider to understand if need to continue on these medications, such as a CT angiogram?

  • 3257: Sacral Fat Pads, Itchy Skin, Sinus Inflammation, Lipoprotein A, High Calcium Score (HouseCall)
    Jan 5 2025
    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… Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral. I have a question about fat pads. Like sacral fat pads and the “buffalo humps” specifically. I have read that diet and exercise hardly makes a difference for these. And liposuction seems to be the only thing that comes up to get rid of them. I understand we all store fat differently, but I’m curious about these specifically. Do you know if loss of body fat gets rid of these? Mine have gotten worse over a few years, and despite losing some weight ( maybe not enough yet) these areas don’t seem to change. I’m a pretty petite person, but I do have some excess fat I would like to get rid of. This area troubles me and I feel a little hopeless that they don’t change even with weight loss. Thank you! Chelsea: Hi Stephen, thank you for all your helpful information and knowledge. I’ve recently developed dry crack skin in between my fingers and a lot of bumps on my upper back and shoulders. I can’t seem to pop the bumps, it’s not like they’re pimples. I thought the cracking in between my fingers was potentially a fungus like athletes foot? But I tried yeast infection cream and it didn’t seem to help. This might be TMI, but I’m also very itchy in my genitals. However, test results came back negative for yeast infection or STDs. This has all started at the same time. Could it be related to my gut? Is this a histamine response? I recently did a gut and sibo test, I get my results on Thursday. I’ve had sibo before but I didn’t have these symptoms. Any advice is appreciated! Thanks! Kayla: Hi Dr Cabral Thank you for all that you do, your podcasts bring me hope & calmness every time!I am 33 years old, overall good health, hypothyroidism 3.6 TSH, LPa high but all other markers (apo B, triglycerides etc good). I recently got my thermography results “cranial dental/thyroid exam” it shows I still have some inflammation around the sinus, neck, & thyroid resulting in possible nodules, last year I removed 4 cavitations, dead bone (dental surgery) & it seems I may still be infected on my upper left molar, I’m exhausted , I dont think I have the strength for surgery again , every year I do the big 5 labs, and overall my results are always very good since I continually do yearly protocols , I’m not sure what to do anymore, losing hope thyroid, neck inflammation. Kayla: Hi Dr Cabral, Could you speak more of Lipoprotein A (LPa) blood marker, my LPa is 158 & all my other markers are pretty optimal (ldl, hdl, apo b , triglycerides etc) my question is, what now? How do I live with high LPa if lifestyle “doesn’t change the marker level” .. It feels like this will creep up on me, I take omega daily but theres talk about Niacin flush , I just need you to speak more of this I trust your insight & I want to know how to live worry free. Kellie: Hi Dr. Cabral! My husband really started focusing on improving his health over the past 5 years - annual physicals, routine dentist, exercise bike 30min/day, nicotine-free, homemade meat & veggie meals, etc. The only Rx the last 5 yrs is for HBP (lisinopril-hctz 20-25). He recently went through a Healthy Heart Screening and found out his Calcium Score is 39. Is that permanent or what can he do to get that back to 0?

  • 3256: Bladder Polyps, Loss of Facial Muscle, Supraventricular Tachycardia, Aortic Aneurysm, Neuropathy in Legs (HouseCall)
    Jan 4 2025
    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: Samantha: Hi Doctor Cabral,My 76-year-old father recently underwent a diagnosis of bladder polyps, which will be removed surgically. Fortunately, they appear to be benign. I'm interested in learning about preventive measures to reduce the risk of future occurrences. Thank you for your time and expertise. Anonymous: Hi Dr C,i have an odd problem that the doctors Ive been seeing havent been to answer yet. Around Sept. 2023, I noticed fast and dramatic changes to what seems like muscle tonality around my brows. My brows now look receded, flat and less prominent. My nose seems a bit more bulbous. I originally thought that my hollowing was due to a unilateral ptosis repair & upper bleph I got in April 2023, but after speaking with many surgeons, this would not be the case as the loss is on both eyes. The only thing I can say is that I started eating meat again in September 2023 after not eating meat for around 3 or 4 years prior. This is the only change I made to my diet. I stopped eating meat for 2.5 weeks and my brow position seems a bit improved, not sure, but it hasnt helped the volume loss. Thx Lauren: Hi Dr. Cabral! I am signing up to be an IHP & taking your program. I am very excited. But I do have a question for you regarding my own health. I have a heart condition that presents as “SVT”. I have had this since 7th grade and have done every test under the sun but my original cardiologist said he wanted to put me on depression meds. (Lost lots of confidence in doctors bc I am not depressed. This was 8 years ago). Question is: can I heal my heart? I have stopped smoking weed, barely drink caffeine, & eat pretty clean (organic etc). Do you have an advice or have you worked with anyone dealing with this? I am 29. Don’t want any meds, surgery or a pacemaker. I want the natural route. These episodes happen every 1-3 months. A hiccup usually triggers it, bending over or jumping. Thank you!!! Marlyse:I'm 5 ft 7 in, weigh 124 lb. I was recently diagnosed with a 40 mm ascending aortic aneurysm found through a scan. I exercise regularly, est a mostly clean diet, don't smoke, have low cholesterol and have low blood pressure. I haven't been able to find anything on what I can do to help this besides surgery and I'm wondering if you have any suggestions. Thank you much Dr cabral. Lindsey: Hi Dr Cabral. Thank you for all you do. My mom has neuropathy in her legs. She is pre diabetic. Any advice on what she should be doing or taking? She also has sleeping issues. Gets about 4 hours a night. I'm sure that doesn't help.
