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…

Anonymous: Hello! My labs showed I have low cortisol, I've been supplementing with adrenal energy for a few months and have tried to incorporate more yoga and nervous system work. I used to weight train heavy and hard and I've cut that back alot. My workouts are still leaving me super inflammed the next day and days after (even from doing just 2 excersizes 3 sets). I dont feel my energy improving at all from these past few months. What should I do? I dont have a whole lot of stress right now but my body has definitely been super stressed in the past which is why I think im at this point. Im dog walking for work and even just slow nice walks out in nature is fatiguing me. Do I have to cut out weights completely while I heal?

Jenny: Hi Dr. Cabral - I have always enjoyed when you share your experiences with your current and previous dogs, and especially your approach to their food and overall health. We have a black lab mix who is over 12 and as expected, he doesn't move as easily as he used to. Are there any supplements you would give to your dog at this stage in life? I'm particularly thinking of something for joint pain and mobility, lipomas, food recommendations, etc. Thank you so much!

Katherine: Hi Doc. Thank you for all you do for the world! I had a 28cm stent put in from my bladder to kidney because my ureter has a stricture. I went for a renal scan and my 1 kidney is functioning at 18% with the stent in. Now the specialist is recommending to take it out. I need to take out my stent because it's juat temporary but they are wondering if I wanted to switch out for another stent. I've done many of your lab tests throughout the year and quarterly detoxes. I am 42 years old. Is it possible I could naturally improve the function of it? What would you do? Thanks so much for your input!

Bettina: Hello Dr. Cabral, since I live in Denmark, I’ve been looking for a reverse osmosis system available locally. I found one that seems promising and would appreciate your thoughts. It uses 8-stage filtration with 400 GPD flow, removing microplastics, nanoplastics, heavy metals (lead, mercury, arsenic, cadmium, chromium, aluminum), and chemical pollutants (pesticides, herbicides, PFAS, VOCs, chlorine, fluoride, nitrates, cyanide). It also eliminates microorganisms (bacteria, viruses, parasites, mold, algae, cyanotoxins) via a 0.0001-micron Platinum RO membrane and UV sterilization (99.9% effective). It filters sediments, radionuclides, and TDS. A carbon pre-filter protects the membrane, while a mineral boost reintroduces calcium and magnesium. Hydrogen and pH balancing enhance the water.

Bettina: Hello Dr. Cabral, it's me again. What are your thoughts on this product? It is made without additives and developed in collaboration with neuroscience experts. Each 100% vegan capsule contains 600 mg Curcumin C3 Complex® (standardized to 95% curcuminoids) for antioxidant and anti-inflammatory support, 50 mg ginger extract (standardized to 20% gingerols) for digestive and immune benefits, 40 mg saffron extract from Spain (standardized to 3% safranal, 7.5% crocins, and 30% polyphenols) to support mood and emotional balance, and 10 mg BioPerine® (standardized to 95% piperine) to enhance absorption and bioavailability. All raw materials are tested before production by top laboratories such as Eurofins to ensure purity and quality. Thanks for your time.
