2263: Eat Clean While Traveling, Neon Yellow Urine, Lung Recovery, Enzyme Discomfort, Mitochondrial Disease, Estrogen & Aging (HouseCall)

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… Bryan: Hi Dr Cabral. Just want to start by thanking you for everything you do for me and so many people. You (and Julia) have helped me uncover a couple of root causes to some of my dis-eases and I'm feeling much better overall. I travel quite a bit for work, sometimes have to stay in hotels, and just find myself in situations where I can't really cook and it might take a lot of effort to find something healthy. I always take my DNS powder and shaker bottle with me everywhere for the morning and sometimes afternoon shake. Do you have any recommendations for eating clean lunches and dinners while on the road or somewhere where it's difficult to cook? Thank you so much. Anonymous: Dr. Cabral, I recently ran the heavy metals and minerals test and it was recommended that I start on a multi vitamin for some subtle mineral deficiencies. I am using the equilife multi and have noticed my urine taking on a neon yellow color. I am well hydrated, and my urine very rarely goes past a very pale yellow, mostly clear. Is this a sign that there are vitamins that are not being absorbed or possibly that I am getting too much of certain vitamins and simply offloading the excess? Thanks for all you do! Lesley: Hi Last year I was admitted to hospital with Covid pneumonitis and had oxygen for 12 days. I was hypoxic on admission but not noticeably breathless(silent hypoxia). I have been on a good nutrition plan since hospital discharge and taking zinc, vit c and vit d. I have just had a 12 week follow up X-ray which shows resolving Covid pneumonitis. I feel quite well but worried about the recovery of my lungs. My blood saturation is good 99%. Please can you give me any advice on what I can do to improve my lung recovery. Many thanks Diana: Hi Dr. Cabral, thank you for everything you do and your daily podcasts! I have a question about digestive enzymes. Is there such a thing as being allergic to digestive enzymes? My son has Alopecia Areata, never had any stomach issues like bloating and vomiting, but he does when he takes digestive enzymes, he has tried 3 different and they all had the following enzymes in comment: Protease, amylase, lipase. Any idea of what could be the reason for bloating and vomiting after taking digestive enzymes? It also triggered a flareup. I want to do the CBO protocol, but I am afraid of him losing more hair because of the biofilm distributor and die off symptoms. He is 15 years old and it's been very hard. Michelle: I have a family member who was just diagnosed with mitochondrial disease? Can you recommend an ayurvedic/ functional medicine approach?Labs or tests that she should have run? Any insights would be appreciated--love your podcast! Lorena: We all know how estrogen dominance and weight gain in the mid section are related. But this is interesting because there have been studies ( https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5460681/ ) that show how the risk of diabetes was reduced by 62% in women currently using HRT (hormone replacement therapy with estradiol included) compared to women who had never had HRT. One resource suggested that loss of estradiol, the primary human estrogen, from either natural or surgical menopause causes an abrupt reduction in metabolic rate, a tendency to increased fat around the middle, increased problems with cholesterol and triglycerides, and increased progression to metabolic syndrome. So which one is it? Does it cause weight gain or not? I'm confused now and I only trust your advice haha… Thank you for tuning into this weekend's Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/2263 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://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 Stress, Sleep & Hormones Test (Run your adrenal & hormone 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)
