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?
