2844: Low Dose Cialis, Lymphatic Drainage Technique, Fasting & Nose Sores, Patulous Eustachian Tube Dysfunction, Healthy Hormone Levels (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… Darren: Good day Dr Cabral. What are your thoughts on recommendations for men to take low doses of Cialis daily? I'm seeing it recommended in the health and fitness sphere by different people in the know including Dr Andrew Huberman, Dr Rena Malek, Jay Ferruggia etc. There are claims of it helping with overall physical fitness/performance, heart health etc. Any drawbacks or is it something you definitely do not recommend. Melissa: Hi Dr. Cabral - I wanted to ask if you can provide the correct technique to use for lymphatic drainage using a dry brush on your body and a gua sha tool on your face and neck. Many people on YouTube say different things regarding technique and I'm not sure what to follow. I know in the Rain Barrel Effect it says to lead the strokes for dry brushing to your heart but a video I found from a certified Lymphodema physical therapist said to direct strokes to your lymph nodes (such as toward your arm pits) as opposed to just the heart. What are your thoughts? I just want to be sure I'm doing it as effectively as possible. Any tips for gua sha for face and neck would be great as well. Also, is using the dry brush safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding? Thank you so much! Elizabeth: Hi, Dr. Cabral! I have suffered from dry nose sores for years (literally years!). There have been a couple of times when I had staph infection so bad in my nose that it felt like somebody had punched me! The ONLY time that the sores went away was when I had covid (plus a few weeks after). Because they went away when I had covid, I thought it had something to do with immunity. HOWEVER, I am happy to report that ever since I have been fasting for at least 12 hours/day (and nearly immediately since I have started fasting), the nose sores are COMPLETELY gone. After YEARS of struggling day-in-and-day-out, they are now GONE! Can you please explain why fasting has had such a positive effect? I can't tell you how grateful I am to not have to deal with the discomfort anymore. Dana: Hi Dr. Cabral, I asked in the Facebook group for resources on Patulous Eustachian tube dysfunction and it looks like you've never done a podcast on it before. I've been dealing with this most of my life and am curious if you have any information and insight on it. I know it can be triggered by exercise and weight loss, both of which I've experienced. I have learned to deal with it but it is inconvenient so I wanted to ask about it. Thanks! Ashley: Hi Dr. Cabal, I first want to say thank you for sharing so much of your knowledge. It has really helped me on my health journey and I have gained valuable knowledge from your podcasts. My question is regrading estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. What are the true healthy level ranges in females and males? I feel like you spoke about this before but for the life of me cannot find that podcast. I appreciate your help.
