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:

Jenny: Hi Dr. Cabral - Thank you and your wonderful team for all that you do to help our community. It truly is amazing and I never miss a podcast. To celebrate your 2000th episode, your wife joined you and shared some of her favorite skin care products and it was so great to get her perspective in addition to yours. Any chance she can make a reappearance and give us an update since, like you, she may have new favorites and other recommendations of what has worked best for her? Thank you!

Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral - I recently had foot surgery that resulted in a small metal (titanium) plate that is now permanent. Are there any risks or precautions I should be aware of or protocols that you would recommend? Thank you for all that you do!

Rocco: Hi Dr Cabral, love your work and especially your chocolate DNS! I recently did the Big 5 labs (not all through Equilife as i am from Australia, and the costs unfortunately increase significantly due to shipping and taxes). I did my stool test through a naturopath in Australia, and one of the key findings was "very low PH" level. do you know why this would be and what i can do about it? The consistency of my stool sample was soft, elastase low; and butyrate and total SCFA were both high. The naturopath spoke to me about the reasons of my findings, but didn't seem to cover much off on my low ph. Should i be doing something to change this? Most of the other labs i did showed symptoms of high stress, so not sure if this has contributed to the very low ph in my stool sample. Thank you!

Amina: Why do I have very bad breath and I can't smell my own breath. When I was younger I always had bad breath. I brush, floss and even tongue scrap. Iv tryed everything. what can it be?

Lara: Hi, dr. C! I'm wondering about cornstarch and other starches in products.. we mostly find things with those starches in them in gluten free products.. even in CREAM OF TARTAR based baking powder.. oh, is cream of tartar (potassium bitartrate or potassium hydrogen tartrate) ok to use instead of other baking powders? Why is it so bad to consume cornstarch? Why is tapioca starch bad? And why potato starch? Is it only because they're probably GMO in USA? Because that is probably not the same for Europe, right? Here we're supposed to have better regulations when it comes to corn.. I think, heh.. It would be helpful to know how to explain this in length to friends and family here.. Thank you for all your help, you're absolutely amazing!
