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…

Annie: For the last 3 years, I have had consistent mucus in my throat. Sometimes it gets worse after eating fat like avocado and nut butter. The mucus is always clear if I spit it out. I thought it was acid reflux, but I am not sure why it would be affected by fats. Thank you for your help in advance!

Gina: Hi Dr. Cabral! I am 33 & survived breast cancer last year, 6 months post partum. I had a lumpectomy, radiation and now hormonal therapy, which has been recommended for 10 years due to my age. Should I be concerned about heavy metals in this monthly injection? Doing the 21 day detox and curious of other pointers you may have that could be helpful while dealing with this long term. I’ve also struggled to lose weight in all this despite a very clean diet and exercising 5 days per week. My A1C is now 6.2 when it was normal prior to medication. Looking for guidance on how to further manage my blood sugar. I was interested in fatlossity but my Dr said “it has too many ingredients” and advised me against taking this. Can you speak a bit about fatlossity? Thank you! P.s. I’ve enrolled in IHP :)

Lynette: What do you know/think of the Perfect Amino products created by Dr. David Minkoff (bodyhealth.com)? I've heard him speak on several podcasts and am curious about his Perfect Amino products. Is there validity to them? Worth trying? Just curious about your thoughts and insights. Thanks so much for all the info and knowledge you share!

Lucy: Hi there, my niece (25yrs, very healthy and body aware) has had an on and off stinging and fuzzy feeling in her mouth since August. She has bloods done, mouth swabs, seen dentists, Dr's. They all say nothing is wrong it is her imagination. She says it is so unpleasant when it happens and needs to find a solution? Is there a podcast relating to this please? I can't find one in the search option. Which tests would you recommend? Thank you.

Robert: I did Big 5 and have adrenal fatigue/very high cortisol. I have been fasting recently (skipping breakfast daily or doing 24 hour with only DNS powder). i have lost weight doing this and had several other benefits. Though I noticed if i don't have breakfast, and I am doing a stressful activity at work (i.e. public speaking), i shake and feel faint. i don't get this if i have breakfast. Further, my white blood cells and neutrophils were low on a few recent blood tests. Despite getting benefits from fasting, should i not do it as often due to side effects like feeling faint/shaking & low WBC/neutrophils which i heard can be caused by stress or fasting? Would it be better if i start my fast after dinner rather than skip breakfast, or should i stop fasts until i reduce stress levels? Thanks!
