    Feb 15 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… Sami: Hi Dr. Cabral! I am currently doing your 21 day detox. I am loving every second of it. For one of my meals I decided to have red beats as my carb/veggie. I had this for two dinner meals in a row and noticed the redness in my stool showed up the next morning after my second meal and then 48 hours after my second meal. I read online that eating red beats can help display gut transit time. I know red beats normally turn your stool a red/pink color in general. Are red beats a good natural/home remedy to decide gut transit time? Or would something like the blue poop test work best? Larissa: Hello! My patient recently tested positive for EBV VCA IgM antibodies with positive EBV IgG antibodies but negative early EBV antigen and EBNA levels. She is experiencing fatigue. Would you consider this an acute or reactivated infection? Could it be a false positive? Would you treat this? Thank you in advance! Katrina: As I explore your protocol options and tests, how would having gastric bypass, 22 years ago affect the results to achieve optimal health. Will the products be effective due to potential absorption issues? Ateba: Hello Dr.Cabral, I've had some bony growth behind my teeth over the last decade. I believe it's called Mandibular Tori. It seems to have grown quite a bit the last few years. My dentist says it's from jaw clenching, which I had during sleep for quite some time, but I've also heard other things (nutrition deficiencies/toxicity's etc). Don't have parasites according to my stool test, just excessive stress. Wondering if you have any recommendations for this condition. God Bless. Lisa: Hi Dr Cabral! I listen to you daily, thank you for your knowledge and swear by your functional detox a few times a year! I have been waking up recently (about the last year now) with a mouth full of saliva and I'm forced to get up to spit. I sleep really well - straight through the night, yet this is a bit concerning to me. Any ideas?

    3662: Smoothies & Gut Health, Root Cause of Cysts, Recovering From Surgery, Help for Anemia, MADSAM Syndrome (HouseCall)
    Feb 14 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: S: What's the deal with smoothies? Why are they recommended so much? Not just by Equilife but from a lot of other wellness practitioners. In general I find they don't satiate me for long and could end up causing me to overeat in the long run. But more than that, I developed a different issue. I found Equilife, as it seems many have, when experiencing gut issues (probably post infectious IBS) and looking for answers. My issues kept coming and going. Then I started to realize it was aggravated during detoxes. (This all evolved over a year and a half.) I finally discussed with AI. In a nutshell, AI suggested I eat warm foods only, cooked veggies. Eat foods in a particular order. This wasn't high risk so I tried this advice. It helped so much. So now I wonder, is it really best to recommend smoothies for everyone? Especially when the detox with shakes or smoothies are recommended as a starting point before other protocols? Seems like if smoothies were to be recommended, it might be better post gut healing? (I now remember a Chinese medicine practitioner telling me years ago that warm food is better for a sensitive gut. I had forgotten that temporarily.) Btw - it's all cold or raw food that can be too much for me right now. Not just shakes or smoothies but I also tested these things alone, outside of the detox. I just see smoothies recommended as nutrition for all kinds of reasons and to people with all kinds of gut issues and don't really hear anyone discuss when it is not good for some of us. Now I just need to figure out how long to heal before I can add back cold food and raw veggies at times. I miss my carrot sticks but glad my gut is happier. So why are smoothies such a thing in the wellness community? Katie: Thank you for everything you have done and taught me. I had a Prenuvo scan done (thank you for the code) and found that I have a small pineal gland cyst, multiple kidney cysts, a syrinx in my spinal cord and a cyst on my cervix. I lived a very unhealthy first 33 years, but have been living clean the last 3. Big 5 showed bacterial overgrowth, mold, candida, heavy metals, mitochondrial dysfunction, high manganese, high bedtime cortisol, and low T3. Hormones and omegas were optimal. What is the root cause of cyst formation? Besides going through protocols and proteolytic enzymes is there anything else I should do? Of course, not looking for diagnosis or treatment plan. Liz: Hi Dr. Cabral, I am a 36 year old female with no history of health problems before the last 2 years. On June 26, 2024 I underwent an XILF lumbar fusion surgery to fuse my L4/L5 because of chronic back pain. I soon found that this was the biggest mistake of my life. I haven't been the same since. I have been experiencing unrelenting, chronic nausea and abdominal discomfort on a daily basis. I also experience brain fog and chronic fatigue. As such, my performance at work has significantly decreased, my mood has been at an all time low, some days I can't even get out of bed. I wish I never had the surgery, had I known my quality of life would have plummeted so drastically. I've gone to countless specialists (a gastroenterologist, endocrinologist, rheumatologist, an ENT, neurologist, OBGYN, Accupuncture, even tried Reiki, and every test result shows unremarkable/normal results. I recently went to pain management and they gave me an epidural after seeing significant scar tissue around the surgical site. I am not experiencing any relief. In fact, I think I feel worse. I am getting married in May and want to start a family but have not been able to get myself right since my surgery. I'm scared I'll never be able to find relief. I don't know where else to turn or what else to do. I just want to get back to normal again and enjoy my life. If there's anything you can think of that I can try, I'll do it. I'm at my wits end. Please help me. Rebecka: Hi Dr. Cabral. I have recently been diagnosed with Anemia. I have not been told the specific type of Anemia. I feel terrible 24/7. My symptoms include fatigue, weakness, dizziness, chest pain and shortness of breath. I feel this is an off and on chronic problem as I have realized I've been having these symptoms for years. My RBC are low, my retic is low and low lymphocytes. Mcv and mch values were high on my CBC. Vitamin b12 and folate normal and my TSH was what I considered low normal. I also experienced a hot flash after lunch every day. I am very petite at 5ft 1 and 95-100lbs and I am 43 years old. What tests should I be doing to figure out the root cause of my anemia...
