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:

Bryan: Hi Dr. Cabral. Dunno if there's a limit to how many questions I can ask but I'll try not to be too much of a pest with the house calls. Almost every single morning I seem to wake up with tears and "crud" around my eyes. Often when I yawn in bed. Did a search online and dry eyes kept coming up as the culprit. Maybe you've answered this one before but do you agree? Is there anything I can do about it? I usually put Omega 3 drops in my eyes before bed and thought they would take care of any dry eyes in morning but I guess not. Appreciate any tips or natural remedies you think might help this problem. Thanks,

Bryan: Hi Dr. C. About a year ago I did a Barium swallow test and was diagnosed with a slow gut and mild esophagus dysmotility. Took about 4+ hours for the barium I drank to pass into my stomach when for most people it takes like an hour or less. My gastroenterologist told me I had a "slow gut" and taking milk of magnesia before bed would help. Results have been just so-so. Wrote in before but want to let you know I do appreciate all your work and renaissance style approach to all things related to health and wellness. Best,

Katie: Please discuss your thoughts on Demodex mites. Especially possibly affecting eyes or skin? Ways to improve if necessary

Bob: Hi Dr Cabral I been listening to you for a few years on and off and really have a learned a lot from through your podcasts. My question is regards to kids. I have a son that is turning 7 this month and I was wondering what tests and also basic supplements I should be giving him. I remember with adults you say there is a level 1, 2 ,3 of supplements all depending on how far you want to take it. Do you have recommendations for kids on maintaining their health and making sure they get what they need and how often and which tests to run annually. Thanks and appreciate all you do for us

Kay: Dear Dr. Cabral, I am an IHP student and really love your modules and teaching approach! I'm writing because I have been on a very low dose of testosterone cypionate (25 mg/mL) 30 cc's subcutaneous injection every 10 days for the last several years. I am 59 years of age and I have a petite frame and build. My physician prescribed it to help with bone density, muscle retention and libido. My question is- if I wish to no longer take testosterone, what kinds of supplements can you recommend to target those areas? I really prefer to not have exogenous hormones if at all possible. Thank you,
