3284: Glutamine & Binders, Thinning Eyebrows, Don't Die Documentary, High Vitamin D Levels, Taking Vitamin D (HouseCall)

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: Sharon: Hello Dr. Cabral. I recently listened to your podcast on the use of binders. I have also seen other functional practitioners recommend Igg immunoglobulin supplements for gut issues. I don't see anything like this in your store. But the supplement is described elsewhere as binding toxins. Can you explain the difference between this and the other binders you recommend and if you believe these supplements are useful for certain situations and if and when they might be recommended vs the traditional binders you discussed. I also see this recommended to heal gut lining. Do you find this useful for that purpose instead of glutamine? Lee: Hi Dr Cabral, I wanted to tap into your expertise as iv noticed a change rand wondered what could be behind it. I'm a 42 year old female, relatively fit & healthy but could do better in all areas! Iv noticed both my eyebrows are starting to thin at the inner edges so from the bridge of the nose. I'm now having to use an eyebrow pencil to colour that part in and even them up! Any thoughts are appreciated. Lara: Hi, dr. C.. I'm wondering whether you've been following the longevity journey of Bryan Johnson.. the documentary just came to Netflix and it's called Don't Die because he literally wants to do everything in his power not to die, ever.. some of the things seem pretty dangerous to me (like gene therapy and taking immunosuppressants) and also he's selling some products like the Blueprint olive oil (I'm guessing it has lots of polyphenols, like the one you use as a supplement).. I was just wondering what you think about it all :) Anonymous: Hi, I tested my vit D at home & the test said I had levels above 100ng/mL - this test only goes up to 100ng/mL because most people don't have higher levels, so I don't know exactly how high they are. I understand this could be dangerous for my kidneys & arteries & maybe other things as well? I am wondering what could have caused my levels to get this high? I was using 4000iu per day since beginning of autumn & I didn't get really tan this summer either. There's additional 400iu in the multi I take, but is 4400iu really too much in the winter months? Considering I have fibromyalgia & hormone & gut problems I thought I would have some trouble with absorption of it all anyway so this really came as a shock! I am really interested in the explanation, the reasons why this can occur. Thank you Anonymous: I was reading about vit D a lot & a naturopath I follow is really against supplementing with it, considering it's a secosteroid hormone & if we live where there's no Sun strong enough in the winter months, the nature obviously didn't intend for us to be having it in those months. She says that the tests only look at the reserves & there is no way of knowing how much of active vit D you have. Supplementing with it is therefore taking hormone therapy, that we should get it from Sun exposure in the summer months and then use up those reserves in the winter as nature intended. I really value your opinion so please explain in depth what is your take on this?
