A microscopic parasite called Cyclospora has been linked to contaminated fresh produce and has affected thousands of people across the United States. Unlike typical food poisoning, symptoms from Cyclospora may not appear until days or even weeks after exposure, making it difficult to know when or where you were infected. On today's show, I break down what Cyclospora is, the symptoms to watch for, and the foods most commonly associated with contamination. We'll explore simple steps you can take to reduce your risk, what to do if you become sick, and when it's important to seek medical attention. So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3826 to learn what you need to know about Cyclospora and how you can continue enjoying healthy foods while taking practical steps to protect yourself and your family.

Your thoughts have a powerful impact on your emotions, your actions, and the quality of your life. While we may not be able to control every thought that enters our mind, we can learn how to respond to those thoughts and decide which ones deserve our attention. On today's show, I break down how to better control your thoughts and create a healthier relationship with your mind. We'll explore why you shouldn't believe every thought you think, how to stop owning every emotion you feel, the importance of becoming the observer of your thoughts, and how changing your daily inputs can reshape your mindset over time. So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3825 to discover how to better control your thoughts and create the mindset needed to live a happier, more fulfilling life.

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… Emily: Hi Dr Cabral, thank you for the work you do sharing reputable information with the masses. I'm 39 years old, 10kg over ideal BMI weight, and am a beginner runner. I am running at a slower pace (7-8 mins per km), but my heart rate gets up to a max HR of 180 after maybe 5 minutes then stays there until I walk. I have a Garmin smartwatch so know this is in the 'maximum' HR area. My question is: Is that ok? Is it only because we have monitors these days that we worry about generic metrics? I also know the smartwatch algorithms are based on men, so do I need to worry - or not run at all? I feel well when I run and after, but have a family history of heart disease so don't want to do any damage. Appreciate you! Emily from Australia Jenny: Hi Dr Cabral - there seems to be a lot of promotion and recommendations lately for daily electrolytes. You mentioned recently who should/should not take them. What about brands? What should we look for and how often can they be taken? Of course the best option is the natural one you recommend - water with sea salt with lemon or lime. But what about brands to buy for when we're on the go? Thank you so much! Gina: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thank you for everything you do and I'm so grateful to be a part of our IHP community! I had a question for you regarding pets and parasites. I know we can get parasites from our pets and our sheepadoodle sleeps in bed with us like a person. Is there a protocol that you recommend or use for pets to eliminate parasites? I know they sell various options at the pet store but would like to use a brand or method that you trust. I also wanted to ask if you use anything to remineralize your pets' water. Our dogs drink reverse osmosis but didn't know if I should add anything else to their water. Thank you, Gina Gina: Hi Dr. Cabral, Me again with one last question for you. A few years ago, I had a significant autoimmune flare and had positive Lupus markers when my PCP ran bloodwork (ANA and dsDNA). I worked through the functional labs, protocols, made lifestyle changes, and the next time she ran bloodwork, I was symptom free and both markers were negative. I've been symptom-free since then and these markers have remained negative for two years. Recently, both markers came back positive, but the thing is that I feel great. Should I be worried about tissue damage if ANA is positive? I feel grateful that I know what to do this time around, but would appreciate any advice. We also found mold in our house, so working on mold detox and remediation. Thank you so much for everything you do, Gina Lily: Hi Dr. Cabral, I was wondering, what is the best source for chick peas? Should we stay away from canned chicked peas? Also, is it ok to cook them?

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: Tina: Hi Dr. Cabral, thanks for all you do. You really are fantastic! I'm 51, and my mother is 82. She is suffering from very painful osteoarthritis and doing most of the recommended things without relief. I'm constantly doing research to try to help her and also stave this off for myself in the future. There seem to be studies showing that 120 mg of hyaluronic acid is helpful for osteoarthritis, I am taking your proteolytic enzymes and Inflammasoothe, but I'm considering replacing my standard collagen supplement and the HA supplement with your advanced collagen support. I know you can't give medical advice, but can you explain why advanced collagen support may work just as well or better than a standard, cheaper, hydrolyzed collagen plus an HA supplement with a higher dose of HA? Thank you! Bryan: Hi Dr. Cabral. Wanted to know if you had an opinion on the RingConn sleep device. I know you use the Oura ring for sleep tracking and speak highly of it but I don't think I've ever heard you mention this device. I like the fact that there's no subscription required but wonder how it fares in terms of accuracy. Is it on par with the Oura do you think? Just curious. Best, Bryan: Hi Dr. Cabral, Have you ever heard of or tried magnetic sleep pads? I came across one company recently which has been around for a number of years. Just wondering if there was any real science behind the whole idea of magnetism and sleep. As someone who suffers from insomnia (kind of of) I'm always on the lookout for ways to improve my quality of sleep and wanted to get your thoughts. Ever tried one before? Best, Emily: Hi dr Cabral, I am hoping to get your expertise on Epstein Barr virus and supporting our children for prevention of EBV. I personally had mono as a teenager and in my 30s now I had an EBV flare up again, I am working with a functional provider to clear this. How can I support my children to not get EBV or if they get how do we support to tackle clearing it right away? Thank you Jen: Thanks for your continuous education and resources you provide on this podcast. I listened to a podcast where you briefly mentioned that a patient of yours was using the Ozone machine from Therasage to get rid of stubborn toenail fungus. My husband has had this problem for over 40 years and all his toe nails have the fungus. I was wondering if your patient was able to get rid of the fungus with just the Therasage ozone machine or do you recommend any additional remedies? Thanks for all you do!

Your weight loss journey doesn't have to be complicated, restrictive, or built around the latest trends. Often, the strategies that create the biggest transformations are the simple, consistent habits that have stood the test of time.

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… Becca: Hi Dr. Cabral! My husband is challenged by a "cobalt conundrum". Several years back he was overexposed to wet cement, spending hours mixing it with his hands. (Big mistake) Shortly after he developed a severe body rash along with painful cramps and diarrhea. After many tests, they found an allergy to cobalt via a skin test, and we assume it relates to the cement mixing incident. Severely limiting cobalt both topically and in diet has helped, but he still struggles with GI issues. Functional medicine tests showed leaky gut. He attempted treatment but even one basic supplement (dairy free igg) caused severe stomach issues. Meanwhile he's missing vital nutrients from avoiding b12 (cobalt) etc. How can he address leaky gut and allergies when he's so sensitive to treatments? Signed, Your Fan Ally: Hi Dr. Cabral, I am a new Level 2 graduate and I have a new client who is 20-years old with a history of anorexia. she is 5-years post treatment. She complains of bloating, constipation, and just having trouble eating. She is of normal weight, and is looking for relief. I was thinking of doing the Big 3 labs and the CBO protocol.. Any recommendations would be very appreciated. I do not want to recommend the wrong plan of care for her. Warmest regards, Ally :) Tommy: Hey Dr. C, I'm an IHP, 36. Had a birth defect, 3 operations by the age of 8 including tonsillectomy. Sleep issues began at 9, insomnia by 12, eczema, fainting, 14 years of steroid creams and thousands of antibiotics. I've got high heavy metals and Citrabacter freundi. I can't tolerate any protocols even at a lower dose, they make my existing problems worse. On days where I train intensely I struggle to shut off. I feel like my body is always stuck in a low level of stress. I've cut down my training a lot but I'm not sure what else I can do. I'm tolerating zinc Carnosine which helps but I still always have red skin on my face. Still struggle to tolerate stress. If only I could do a heavy metal protocol. Sarah: Hi! Hope you are well and love tuning in daily to learn from you! I have been trying to heal leaky gut and chronic hives for over a decade now. Because I am very reactive I stop and start a lot. However, I recently gave in and started a low dose prednisone and over a couple weeks lost 10lbs of inflammation, hives gone, that I couldn't break with any diet (restriction), exercise etc. I would like to do some testing and do the CBO protocol as this started after antibiotics. My question is, will this skew the results of cortisol/A1C and will it be okay to continue on to keep symptoms calm while getting to the root and going through some protocols? Thanks! (BTW) I have tried all the natural stabilizers and didn't help calm symptoms. (Quercetin, Vit C, Mag, etc) Sienna: Hi Dr. Cabral, this is a follow up to my question on 3782 re testing for perimenopause please. Thank you for your guidance and if I could run EL labs I would. I have NO access to Saliva Testing in my country (and EL don't ship here). So I know about SMM & Fertility Labs but can't run them so I am *specifically* asking IF estrogen & progesterone tested by an endocrinologist (BLOOD) have ANY value as a way to look at levels? LH, FSH & AMH are great as I can get these from bloods, can you please provide the healthy ranges vs. perimenopause? Would really appreciate it as this is the only option I have to look deeper & PCP here don't have a functional approach so really value your guidance on anything you can share to help me support my body.
