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: Hi Dr. Cabral I seem to be having very slow motility and lots of undigested food. I might eat 1 meal and stay full/not hungry till the next day. When I do pass the food, so much of it is loose and undigested. I also have what feels like an air bubble that gets stuck in my throat whenever I swallow a pill. It makes it feel as though the pill gets stuck in my throat, but its a feeling that goes down and comes up with drinking of water. Im currently on mag07 and motility activators (combo of artichoke and ginger root) but I still find myself in these situations with much upper stomach pain, bloating and belching. A genesis labs stool test came back fine from the Dr., so not sure I will need a repeat? Ive only been told I have functional dyspepsia and mild gastritis, but thats it. Any advice?

I’ve been digging into whether progesterone-only birth control pills contribute to fibroid growth, but the research is all over the place—some say yes, some no, and some say it depends on if the person is taking Progesterone & Estrogen BC, as well as other individual factors. I’ve linked a few studies below and would love if you could do a deep dive on this to help demystify the topic. I always appreciate your unbiased take and how much your work has helped me and my clients! Thanks!

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…   Kellie: Hi! This might an odd question. I am a 38 yo female and have had chronic compartment syndrome since 2007 due to college soccer. It is in both legs and all 4 compartments. I had fasciotomy surgery to open all 4 compartments in both legs February 2014. In my follow up appointment after surgery I explained to the surgeon that my skin was numb above my left inside ankle. He said the nerves will grow back over time. The skin is still numb 10+ years later. I can feel when pressure is applied but just a weird tingle when the skin is touched. Any thoughts, ideas, suggestions, hope? Thanks for all you do!                                                                                                                                                                       Carrieann: Hi Dr Cabral - Thank you for all you d

Your stress response doesn’t just affect your mind...     It can directly impact your lungs as well.     Whether it’s asthma, allergies, chronic congestion, or lingering post-viral symptoms, stress may be playing a bigger role than you think.     On today’s show, I want to explore the HPA Lung Axis: the powerful connection between your brain, adrenals, and lungs, and how stress hormones like cortisol can trigger inflammation, weaken your immune system, and make it harder to fight off infections.     So join me on today’s Cabral Concept 3534 as we break down how this brain-adrenal-lung connection works, why it keeps so many people stuck in cycles of inflammation, and what you can do to rebalance your body and breathe easier.     Enjoy the show!   - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/3534 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home

For most people, the advice is simple: stop eating after dinner to improve digestion, support deeper sleep, and boost long-term health.     But as with all things in life, there are exceptions and in some cases, a small nighttime snack can actually be beneficial.     On today’s show we’ll break down both sides of the debate and cut through the confusion to decide whether eating before bed supports or sabotages your goals.     Join me on Cabral Concept 3533 as we explore whether you should (or shouldn’t) eat before bed and how to personalize the answer for your own health journey.     Enjoy the show, and let me know what works best for you!   - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/3533 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity

Have you ever felt like you’ve tried every diet, supplement, or therapy, yet the symptoms still linger and something just feels "off"?      Sometimes the missing answers are buried deeper in your labs and that's where functional medicine can uncover hidden patterns that conventional care often misses.     On today’s Unsolved Health Mysteries, we walk through Kacie's Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test and connect her lifelong struggles with eczema, allergies, anxiety, and inflammation to underlying imbalances like candida overgrowth, mold exposure, nutrient deficiencies, and mitochondrial stress.     You’ll learn how these root causes can trigger autoimmune conditions and why protocols focused on detox, gut repair, and sleep optimization can create real, lasting change.     Join me on today’s Cabral Concept 3532 as we dive into the lab results, the plan, and the hope that comes from finally understanding the “why” behind chronic health issues.     Enjoy the show and let me know what you think! - -

Have you ever thought of your body as having a “health bank account”?     Every meal, workout, night of sleep, and even your mindset is either a deposit that builds long-term vitality or a withdrawal that depletes your reserves.      Over time, the balance you create determines whether you’re thriving or running on empty.     In this episode, I’ll share how to apply the “health bank account” framework to your daily life, why small, consistent deposits matter more than perfection, and how to strike the right balance between discipline and enjoyment.      So join me on today’s Cabral Concept 3531, where I break down why every choice is either a deposit or a withdrawal.     Enjoy the show, and let me know your thoughts!   - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/3531 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete

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?

Can a simple nutrient, found in common fruits and vegetables, help boost testosterone naturally, especially when stress, age, or lifestyle are dragging it down?     Testosterone is essential for libido, energy, muscle, mood, and fertility, but oxidative stress from poor sleep, diet, or lifestyle can damage the cells that produce it.      Today I want to explore how a key vitamin can act as a potent antioxidant, protecting these cells and supporting healthy hormone balance.     So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3527 as we dive into the latest peer-reviewed research showing how this overlooked nutrient supports testosterone production, improves sperm quality, and balances hormones in men and women.     Enjoy the show and let me know your thoughts.   - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/3527 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-H
