3151: SPECT Brain Scans, Itchy Legs, Pitta Imbalance, Pectin & Canning, Elevated Thyroid (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: Jennifer: I am wondering what your thoughts are on the SPECT (Brain) Scans that Dr Daniel Amen recommends to clients with brain disorders or concerns, especially if there is a history of head injury? Lara: Hi Stephen, Hope you can help. When i go to bed at night i am tired and ready to fall asleep, then when i almost fall asleep my legs start to itch very badly. I can go on for hours and it wakes me up everynight, sometimes it goes away for a while but always returnes after a few days or weeks. Kelsi: hi dr. cabral! i have an ayurvedic-based question. i tend to have a pitta imbalance and recently it's been worse than usual. my body has been hot, especially at night, my tongue has a light yellow coating and i struggled with mild insulin resistance + acne (pcos). i'm currently on the CBO protocol and meditating like my life depends on it to calm the body down. my questions are 1) if i'm already running hot, have i been doing myself a disservice by doing the sauna every single day? and 2) is there anything else you'd recommend right off the bat to rebalance pitta? Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral, I am getting into preserving my own food and have been learning about the process. I got a canning book and it splits jam recipes into those with added pectin and those without it. It says that pectin is a fiber naturally found in fruits and vegetables, and that adding it to jams reduces cooking time and increases its ability to gel. Since it is naturally found in fruit I didn't think it would be bad to add, but after some research I am getting conflicted information. Please share your thoughts, you are a trusted voice in our household! Thank you! Maria: Is treating an elevated/out of range TPOab part of the thyroid outside the scope of practice of an IHP?
