2451: Red Face, Reducing Estrogen, Increasing HRV, Painful Periods, POTS (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: Tommy: Hi Dr C you incredible human being. I'm a level 2 IHP. For years Iv been battling self diagnosed lupus, my face goes embarrassingly red. Iv been working on this and have it more under control than ever. But since the summer has come, Iv really noticed how bad heat affects it. I thought it was just food such as histamines and sensitivity. I know heat can trigger histamines. Iv run the OAT and I'm high on 3 yeast markers including oxalates. By time this gets read out I should be some way through the CBO protocol, however I have done this before, but I didn't stick to the meal plan. Iv also purchased DAO and Iv tried many supplements including quercitin. I know there still so much more info you would need but do you have anything you can suggest. Ann: Due to my increased risk of breast cancer Im on a medicine to eliminate estrogen in my body ( I have also had my ovaries removed). The 5 year limit to take the medicine is nearing, so Im wondering what I can do, from your perspective, to reduce estrogen in my body? I know that maintaining a healthy body weight is important but do you have any other thoughts? Thank you so much! Marina: Hi Dr Cabral, My baseline HRV has dropped from 50-60 to 30-35 ever since i got the covid v :( September last year. I have had severe insomnia for sometime after the v, however this has resolved after couple of months, HRV has never recovered. I have taken rest days, zone 2 training, cold showers, medtation, nothing works. Lab results look good. I am 37, workout 4-5 times a week. No alcohol, don't smoke. Eat clean/organic. What can I do to bring it back up to where it used to be? Appreciate your help. Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral, I love your podcast. Thank you for everything that you do. I want to ask if there's a way to remove painful periods? I was born with two uteruses and I have extremely painful periods on the first day and sometimes the second. I'm in pain as if I was being stabbed in my uterus 1000 times. Ever since I got my period when I was 13 years old, I've been taking at least one advil a month to relieve myself of the period pain. And when I turned 23 I started to develop itchy scalp, vaginal itch, and itchy ears. Listening to your podcast helped me discover the OATS and CBO protocol. I've taken CBO twice and the itch has reduced but not completely gone. Vaginal itch is still there a bit as well as the ears and scalp. My OATS came back better after two CBOs but I feel that I'm still not getting better because I still take an advil once a month due to my painful period. I know that my stomach got weaker because i take advil once a month. And i want to figure out how I can get rid of the pain. I recently bought Inflamma Soothe in the hopes to getting a fast acting relief during my painful period. Another thing I want to mention is that I was also born with 1 kidney and I want to ask if its safe to take a lot of supplements? I feel quite lost right now. Thank you in advance. Stacey: Hello , I'm loving the book and podcasts so much ! I have POTS / dysautonomia and inappropriate sinus tachycardia, SVT , Raynauds, hashimotos and Extreme sensory stimulation sensitivities .. like it has ruined my life ! I'm looking for a place to start but don't have all the funds to order the big 5 . Also I'm interested if Dr. Cabral has seen LDN helping any of these issues as a friend has had great success with it . I'm very sensitive to medication and even herbal medicine.. so it scares me to try to much .. I am on Xanax for the POTS and hydroxychoriquin for my autoimmune issues . I'm truly scared I will die early and if I do live long it will be a long slow death with zero quality of life . I have been to holistic Drs and after spending thousands of dollars nothing helped . I'm so scared and need serious direction . I heard Dr. Cabral May start taking on clients again ? How do we get on that list ?
