2605: Tooth Implant, Rebuilding After Surgery, Bowel Blockage, Sweating on One Side, Hair Loss on Legs, Progesterone Resistance (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: Victoria: Hello Dr Cabral I want to thank you for the wonderful vitamins - I'm about to get a tooth implant Do you think holistic is the best ? What do you suggest ? Laura: Hi Dr. Cabral - I've followed you for many years now, and need your advice. I am a healthy, 37 year old female who practices your foundational protocol along with quarterly detoxes. I had a routine laparoscopic surgery for endometriosis, and two days later was admitted to the hospital with septic shock due to Strep A in my uterine lining (found during surgery and biopsied) which turned systemic. Very long story short, I'm dealing with a whole host of issues in the ICU. This is very rare, and I'm on many different intense antibiotics and have developed an illeus in my colon. You won't see this until I'm released from hospital, but I'm wondering where to start to rebuild my system and repopulate my gut and build a healthy immune system. Any advice is appreciated! Chelsea: Hello! I have a recurring blockage in my bowel on the lower right side (as in, my actual right side, not the right side if you were looking at me, so ascending colon I believe?). It comes and goes depending on the week. I've done many quarterly detoxes, intestinal cleanses, gall bladder cleanse, CBO twice, and it seems to keep coming back. I've worked with my health coach but am still struggling to understand why. I could still be eliminating daily, but it seems something is stuck and causes some bloating, pain, etc. Do you know what could be causing this? Sometimes I think it may be when I eat too much fat but overall my diet, supplementation, and hydration is healthy and stable. Thank you! Anonymous: Dr. Cabral, I have an odd observation I was wondering if you could explain. When I sit in the sauna after lifting weights, the left side of body body sweats considerably more than the right side, being most notable on my arms. Is there something to this or am I just simply a left-handed sweater (if such a thing exists)? Thanks again for the time and continuing to stimulate my curiosity. Pam: Hi Dr Cabral! A big thank you for all the valuable information you share. I've learned so much from listening to your podcast. My question is the following: My husband (60 yrs old) has lost the hair on his legs from the knee down. This area is also red. He doesn't mention any other symptoms (like pain or itching). He tells me the doctor told him that it's nothing to be worried about and that this sometimes happens as we age. My feeling is that his body is trying to tell him something. What do you think could possibly be causing this? Thank you so much! Laurie: Can you discuss progesterone resistance? I am menopausal, estrogen dominant and had a partial hysterectomy. Bio identical progesterone of any kind makes my symptoms worse and disrupts my sleep. Most supplements to boost progesterone are for pre menopausal. Also, I was born with one kidney so I only have one adrenal gland.
