    3712: "Crunchy" Feeling on Face, Essiac Tea & Soursop, Blood in Urine, Surgery & Erectile Dysfunction, Detox & Binging (HouseCall)
    Apr 5 2026
    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… Sarah: Hey doc! Ive been regularly gua sha'ing my face and I noticed that my face feels 'crunchy' especially at my jawline and at my lymph nodes by my ear. It doesnt seem to be improving despite regular use, is this normal or anything to be concerned? I feel it more in my left side which I seem to get more breakouts on my cheek/jawline/neck. Thank you! Margie: I just read all your cancer information because of a recent diagnosis. I have a Naturopathic doctor in addition to conventional oncologist. I'm curious your take on Esaic tea and or soursop? I told not to take it during treatment because it's a detox and we want the targeted chemo and immunotherapy to work… this is from my ND, however, research on both suggest otherwise. I'm very curious your thoughts. Thank you! Alicja: Hello Dr.Cabral, I recently run by blood work and urine test. I have pretty good results from my blood work (except high cholesterol) but I am concern about results from my urine test. It shows I have trace amount of blood in my urine and also albumin in my urine was detected (slightly above the optimal cut-off) My urine albumin is 0.3 mg/dL What can I do about this? Does that indicate early kidney damage? (BTW test was done on day 16th of my cycle) Thank you for answering my question. I appreciate all you do. Tyler: I'm a 37 year old male and I was diagnosed with a pilocytic astrocytoma brain tumor in my hypothalamus in December 2022. It was a benign tumor the size of a large egg, and I had a 15 hour surgery to remove 90% of it. 3 years later, I still have erectile dysfunction and low libido. Why is that and what can I do to fix it? I'm on Clomid for my testosterone, which is now around 500. I was on testosterone gel for a couple months but quit because of sperm impact. I test my sodium level every other week because it was low at times after my surgeries. I have a programmable shunt to help drain CSF. I don't have morning erections. Could this be from damage during the brain surgeries? Is it hormonal-related even though I'm on Clomid? Is it psychological? Please help. I listen to your podcast daily. Trish: Hi Dr C. - hoping to get some advice on your 7-day detox. I'm in my 50's and most of my life my weight has gone up and down by 30lbs. I have a problem with binging. As I've gotten older, I've learned how to control it and my triggers. I've tried the detox 3 times and I have found that it causes me to binge. Becoming too strict it throws me for a loop. I don't do the two fasting days. I fast 20 hours. I avoid all the inflammatory foods gluten, dairy, corns, eggs & nuts as I do this on a daily basis so that isn't hard for me. Giving up berries/fruit in my smoothie & some quinoa or brown rice is what starts to create me wanting to binge. I usually eat 1 sq a day 90% cacao choc too. Any advice on making the detox beneficial without following the guidelines 100%?

    3711: Overweight vs. BMI, Garlic Benefits, Mycobacterium Avium Complex, Using Metavolve & GLP-Tone Long Term, Walking & Swelling Hands (HouseCall)
    Apr 4 2026
    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! - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3711 - - - 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) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

I listen to the Cabral Concepts podcast every day he gives you the most honest, unbiased, and truthful information available on this thing we call the Internet. There’s so much junk in so much garbage and you don’t know what to trust. I trust every word he says because he’s not selfish. He’s not in it for the wrong reasons he truly is in this game because he cares
