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…

Dionna: Hi, Dr. Cabral. After completing the Big 5, my coach advised that I was absent of Vitamin B's, I needed Balanced Zinc, Magnesium, Omega 3's, 5,000 iu's of Vitamin D, and a Thyroid Support (for 3 months). I am currently using the DNS each morning & it was my understanding that would cover my B's and Zinc. I get the DNS and all the remaining necessary supplements on a monthly subscription with Equilife, plus Digestive Enzymes. Because I need two jars of the DNS to get through a month, I'm wondering what benefits I lose if I switch to the Daily Activated Multi-Vitamin. Do you recommend one over the other, or are they the same? Also, do I really need a Collagen supplement if I'm using either one of those products? As always, I appreciate you so much and all that you do! Dionna

Jennifer: Hi Dr Cabral! I’ve listened to all your podcasts on UTI and am wondering what your thoughts are on UTIs in relation to hormones? Could low estrogen be a cause of recurring UTI. I’m asking especially since d mannose, GSE and Vitamin C seem to not be working? I had 9 UTIs in 2022 and then zero for an entire 9 month stretch during pregnancy. Wondering what can be done if indeed it’s a hormone issue. I had my levels tested pre-pregnancy through equilife and my progesterone was low, but estrogen seemed fine. I’ve had UTI issues ever since I can remember. But only in recent years has it gotten this frequent! Any insight helps!!Thank you!!

Nathalie: I allowed for moderate v**c of my first three children. Other than your heavy metal detox protocol, what other protocols do you recommend for me to give them so I can offset any potential future effects they will have from having been v**c as toddlers? Thank you

Lynda: Hi Dr Cabral, As you are a fountain of knowledge on all subjects, I was wondering if you have any thoughts on the possibility of reversing mandibular tori. I was recently told I have them at a dentist appointment, and now I'm obsessed with getting rid of them as I suspect they have made my teeth progressively crooked. Do you think proteolytic enzymes could reduce them? Any other thoughts? You're the best. :)

Abby: Hi Dr. Cabral, I workout in the morning before my 12 hr fast is up. Since working out raises my blood sugar, am I technically breaking my fast? And If so, is holding off on eating until the 12 hr mark still benefiting me if my fast is broken with raised blood sugar? Also am I preserving muscle in a fasted state? Thanks
