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…

Jilian: Hi Dr. Cabral, I have a strange question regarding my leg. I have a dent in my upper right quad that runs horizontally. It seems as if my quad muscle somehow split, however I have no clue why or how. I saw a doctor who said it’s not fatty tissue but appears to be my muscle. The dent is pretty noticeable but not painful. I noticed it sometime after having my first child but it either went away or was not as significant. But since having my second child it’s come back and more prominent. For reference I’m currently 10 months postpartum with my second and weight 125lbs (nearly pre pregnancy weight). My hormones according to a regular doctor test said everything looks fine, although I know in the past I’ve been told I have PCOS. Not sure what’s causing this dent.

Leila: Hi Dr. Cabral! I work as a nurse in the hospital and our hospital is implementing new badges that track us throughout the hospital. Our badges clip to our shirt and hang over our chest and it makes me wonder if we should be doing something to protect ourselves. Thanks!

Stacey: Hi Dr.Cabral , I just finished listening to your podcast on glp meds . It scared me because I’m on them , Not for weight loss but for dysautonomia. My blood sugar was all over the place even with a Perfect diet , your detoxes , protocols , big 5 , working with a coach ect .. I did have improvements but still did not have much energy, stamina and alway dizzy as well as fight or flight. My functional Med Dr. Suggested Ozempic & then Mounjaro. I can’t believe how Amazing I feel ! I’m working out again , popping up in the morning with tons of energy , my blood sugar is perfect , my A1c is 4.6 now . I just feel like I have my life back . I don’t have one bad side effect. I have 1 to 3 bowl movements a day , I’m still hungry and eat. Why do you think this Med has worked so well for my dysauto.

Yvonne: Interested in trying ALA for blood glucose and neuralgia but have a few questions: (1) one site says do not take if you are taking thyroid medication, which I am - I take desiccated thyroid (2) warns that taking may cause harm due to mercury not being removed from the body and (3) if ok to take, what is daily dosage that works without harm and does it matter what type of ALA (type S or R)?
