Check out today's questions:

Toni: I have low thyroid and osteoarthritis with two TKR. I have a genetic form of anemia called thalassemia minor. Could this be the cause gif my problems! I’m 65 post menopausal. I do s 3/2/2 intermittent fasting and have gif a year. 3 16 hours 2 nomad 2 no fasting I try to get sufficient calories during my eating window. Shall I stop for a couple of weeks and start again?

Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral, Thank you for all the work you do! I have SIBO and am doing the CBO protocol and will be doing the "killing" phase for the 90 days followed by the 90 day "repair" phase. During both of these phases do we need to remove dairy, gluten & alcohol completely? I have a celebratory event in the later part of the year and was hoping to enjoy 1-2 cocktails, but unsure if this will ruin the entire protocol. Any advice?

Kelsi: hi dr. cabral! thank you i’m advance. ive struggled with mild cystic acne for many years, however, lately ive been getting a couple that somehow turn infected. they get incredibly swollen, have to be lanced and the culture comes back positive for staph infection. i avoid antibiotics at all costs but with staph (as ive listened to every podcast), you’ve stated this is one occasion that it’s necessary…so i do. of course, i take S. bouldarii while on them. i’m just looking for confirmation that i’m on the right path. this is my plan. 21 day detox. CBO protocol / finisher heavy metal detox ive also ordered the stress mood and metabolism test to see my hormone levels. also, am i right to take the antibiotic if i have staph in the future?

Julia: Hi Dr Cabral! Just asking because i have been attempting to take an at home hormone blood test that was purchased from another company- before i discovered you. I want to do the test however i have an iud and have no menstruation in order to track where I'm at in my cycle. I started taking ovulation tests to check my LH in attempt to track my cycle but find it is not consistent. Do your blood tests require tracking cycle? Also any tips on finally testing my self! This stemmed from low libido. Im 34 yr old and feel like Im 70

Stacey: Hello Dr. Cabral I hope you are having such a beautiful and blessed day . I have a question on DNRS brain retraining . What’s your opinion on this way of healing ? I recently bought the program and going to start once summer vacation is over with . It’s 60 minutes a day dedication for at least 6 months so I’m a little intimidated but I’ve seen so many healing testimonies on it . What do you think about it ?
