The Cabral Concept

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:

Sarah: I'm dealing with reoccurring yeast infections, despite already completing the CBO protocol. Ive been prescribed by my doctor to take a fluconazole pessary every week for 6 months. I'm unsure where to go from here. Is there any downsides to taking an antifungal for this long? Would it be better to do the CBO protocol again? I feel like nothing is working Jenna: What are your thoughts on the new technology of contact lenses with built-in blue light blockers in the lens? Amber: Hey, whenever I take a supplement for anxiety/depression I have always gotten a significant headache and head fog. I would always try and look this up, but I would never find people who struggle with the same symptoms. An example is St. John's wort, ashwagandha, bach remedies, etc. I have also had the same experience with mushroom supplements and horse chestnut. Not sure if these all have the same reason on why I experience these symptoms, but I was wondering if you had an answer. A naturopath suggested to me that it may be because my parasympathetic nervous system has been shut down for so long and it's just waking up with these supplements. I would appreciate your feedback. Thank you! Melinda: Hi doctor Cabral I've been hearing a lot about the significance of optimal VO2 max, particularly for cardiovascular health, managing insuline, and enhancing mood and sleep. HIIT is often recommended as an effective way to improve VO2 max, but it's also known to increase cortisol levels. I'm in peri-menopause, so I really need to be careful about high cortisol. What do you think about this? Should I still do HIIT regardless, or are there some other ways to improve VO2 max and still keep my cortisol low. Thanks so much for your answer. Kind regards, Melinda Melissa: Hi Dr. Cabral - is doing the sauna safe when you’re a breastfeeding mom? I read about toxins entering the breast milk but wasn’t sure if that’s true. Also I was wondering if you should do the “natural Gatorade” with the lime and sea salt before or after coffee in the morning? I was told to do this after taking your heavy metals test but wasn’t sure on timing. Thank you!
