3207: Polyphenol Oxidase & Blueberries, Metal Taste in Mouth, Recurring Yeast Infection, Hoffa's Syndrome, Hashitoxicosis (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: Darren: Good day to you, your family and team Dr Cabral. I listened to Dr Rhonda Patrick saying Bananas, Beets, Swiss chard, collard greens have an enzyme in them called polyphenol oxidase which degrades Polyphenols in blueberries and other high polyphenol containing foods. She says it's best not to add them to smoothies with blueberries etc. Is this accurate or the drawback is not that bad? Jenn: Hi Dr. Cabral! Ever since I was pregnant with my second baby, I get this metal taste in my mouth. It happened during the first trimester, was happening as much during the 2nd but came back in the 3rd. From what I've researched it based on hormonal changes. But 7 months postpartum I'm still experiencing the metal taste every day - typically at night. I thought this goes away after giving birth. I'm so curious as to why this continues to happen and what I can do about it. Thank you so much!! Vanessa: I have had recurring yeast infections for a year. I have taken a gut test where I collected stool for three days then did the micribiome labs gut support package for six months and cut out most sugar (only in coffee) and went mostly keto/carnivore. Last antibiotic taken three years ago after a surgery. It went well for about four months. Now it's back in my vagina and I get it on two fingers. I have a lot of stress due to a divorce and job (nurse). Please help with a protocol to rid this yeast once and all from my body. Thank you for your time Carol: Hi dr. Cabral. I have something called Hoffa's syndrome in my knees. I was wondering if you had a natural approach to this, my insurance will cover steroid shots, but do not want to go that route. Or liposuction. Thanks for any advice. I appreciate all you do. Teresa: Hi Dr Cabral, can you please talk about hashitoxicosis. I have Hashimotos and my latest thyroid tests showed that my TPOab was really high and my other thyroid levels were hyperactive.
