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:

Darem: Hey, Dr Cabral. I recently did a health assessment where everything went well except my practioner telling me I'm overweight according to BMI which was 26.0. She then went off textbookedly (sic) saying to exercise more, eat more fruits & veggies etc. I already do all that for years. I'm 5'6, 161lbs, lean, muscular, 6 pack abs. Around 10% BF. How can I still be overweight Jenny: Hi Dr. Cabral - I have a question about garlic. In a recent podcast you talked about the many benefits of garlic and of consuming at least a clove a day. Do we get the same great benefits of garlic (including cancer prevention) if it is cooked, roasted, baked as part of a recipe, etc., or does it need to be raw? (I know you talked about smashing it and letting it sit for 5 minutes.) Thank you! Julie: Hi Dr. Cabral, My daughter (age 3 at the time) was diagnosed with Mycobacterium Avium Complex (MAC). It took awhile to properly diagnose and be treated since it is so rare in children. She was put on multiple medications including antibiotics for about 2 years (ethambutol, rifampin & azithromycin). She is now 9 and doing great, but we recently noticed symptoms of Raynaud's Syndrome. While I am waiting for an endocrinologist appointment I was hoping to see if you had any insight as to what would put her in a compromised state to begin with to be able to contract MAC. And now should I be testing and treating her with protocols to make sure her rain barrel isn't overfilling and if so what do you suggest at this young age? Tricia: Hi Dr Cabral - hope you and the family are doing well! I have a quick question regarding the GLP Tone and Metavolve systems. I've done both and love them both! I am currently on Metavolve and have been for the last few months. I don't follow the diet plan it comes with strictly, but I do follow your baseline of a Mediterranean diet. I feel really good and am losing weight just more slowly. I'm 56 post-menopausal and am healing on the inside out. My question is can both of these systems be used long term? Are they safe to do so and when I do transition off of Metavolve do I need to do it slowly? Thank you for creating such amazing supplements to assist us in this life long journey of health! Bob: Hello dr Cabral I wanted to ask for your thoughts on what might cause and what to do with this issue. I normally walk about 10k steps a day and either at mornings or nights have a longer walk about 5 to 6000 and make up the remaining steps throughout the day. But when taking the longer walk I have notice it seems my hands start to swell while walking. I have even noticed it in my wrist as my watch band gets very tight. I don't pump my arms very much when walking and feels harder to make a fist when this happens. Any advise on this for me. It does seem to go back to normal after stopping in few hours 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! - - -
