Summary

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:

Snaz: Hi Dr. Cabral. I am located in Southern CA in an area impacted by fires. The air has been very ashy. When the farmers market reopened after the initial crisis had passed, I had gone shopping at the market and then I was washing my veggies and started to think about how this toxic ash may end up in our food being grown in the region. What if anything can or should we do to prevent the body from absorbing these additional toxins? I can remember "smoky" vintages of wine from previous fires. This obviously ends up in our food system through direct settling on the produce or absorption in the soil. Is there anything extra we can do to protect our health from this additional source of toxins? Or just all of the usual things you talk about? Thank you for your thoughts.

Gemma: Has the Dr Cabral practice ever worked with Milky Oats (avena sativa)? I see that it is often used for anxiety (amongst other things such as alcohol or drug recovery) but I would like to understand if you have seen this work in practice and if its worthwhile as its quite an expensive herb. Pub med is hinting that it got good results but theres a lot of science in that report! It behaves differently from other herbs for anxiety as other herbs such as passionflower seem to make you sleepy and switch off your brain. I dont quite understand the science behind this one but you take it every day, no sleepiness, no withdrawal symptoms if you forget….seems like a wonder herb in theory. And apparently can also lower cholesterol as an added bonus! Why isn't half the population on this?

Michael: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thank you for everything you do. My question is regarding cone beam CT scans at dental offices. What is your recommendation for having this imaging done? I'm 38 and had all 4 of my wisdom teeth pulled about 5 years ago. I've had a history of bad oral health that I've been working on. I've also had some intermittent jaw/facial symptoms on one side of my face for the last year or so. I recently started to see a holistic dentist and the CBCT is an option. My worry is the radiation with CT scans.

Michael: Hi Dr. Cabral, I have a question regarding regular sauna use. I've read a lot about the benefits of multiple sauna sessions per week. I have used a dry sauna at a local gym regularly for a couple of years. I recently purchased a sauna blanket from Higher Dose for the convenience of not having to travel to the gym every day. I do sweat a lot using the sauna blanket especially when I use it after a workout. Is there more of a benefit from a sauna that you're inside of and breathing the warm air, or does the benefit simply come from warming the body to the point of sweating which is still provided by the sauna blanket? Thank you for taking the time to answer everyone's questions!

Belinda: Hi doctor Cabral, I was wondering if you could help me with the following: every morning, I have a large, wel-formed, normal bowel movement, but in the afternoon, I feel the urge to go again, but I'm only able to pass a small amount of stool. I'm experiencing bloating and gas, and I feel like I should be able to have a more complete bowel movement. I'm eating a healthy diet with plenty of fiber, drinking enough water, and I recently completed a cleanse, but my symptoms haven't improved. Could you please provide some insight into what might be causing these issues? Really grateful for your help here. Thanks so much! Belinda
