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:

Kelly: What are your thoughts on HRT?

Jacob: I recently watched your video ‘Is too much REM sleep an issue, in the last month I’ve been having a lot more REM sleep due to more stress, I just wanted to know if being on my phone before bed could be contributing to more REM Sleep, because my phone helps me take my mind off things but then maybe because it makes my brain active it causes me to have many dreams but that’s why I am here asking for help.

Tina: Hi Dr. Cabral. I’m hoping you can help me since nobody else has been able to. I have been low on vitamin D for years (steadily at 19), but have a strange reaction whenever I try to supplement with it. I’ll immediately start my period, even if I had just finished my cycle a week or 2 prior, it will start again. I have done DNA testing and discovered that I am compromised in every pathway when it comes to vitamin D. I have tried various forms of vitamin D3 from gummies, capsules, and even patches, with always the same result of starting my cycle prematurely. Every doctor I’ve talked to has never heard of this reaction and can’t figure it out. Please help.

Erin: Middle of the night question HELP! So this has been going on awhile and it’s so frustrating. I wake up during the night and have the sensation of a gnawing/gurgling sensation somewhere above the belly button. Sometimes if I don’t eat something I start feeling awful.I can’t figure out what is happening and what to do. I did the OAT test which came back for fungal/mold overgrowth. Is it related to this? Will i ever be able to sleep without having a snack during the night? So frustrated on this. Thank you so much

E: Hello and thank you so much for your care and generosity. A couple questions, all related: 1)When I emailed support they emphasized NOT recommended to combine protocols. But on episode 837 (detox dos & don’ts), you said it was fine. I feel confused. When and which protocols is it ok to combine? I’m currently doing CBO and want to do mold and HMD, I’m wondering if any can be combined to speed up the process. 2)Relating to the CBO finisher: It sounds like it can be helpful to start sealing gut during CBO? Could you talk about this a bit? Would this be in addition to doing it afterwards or…? Also, I mistakenly bought clean gut probiotic for use during the finisher. Is it ok to use that for first 2 months of finisher and then transition to the daily probiotic? Don’t fully understand difference

Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!
