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… Let’s get started!    Brennan: Hi Dr. Cabral and team- I am a new follower of Dr. Cabral and stumbled upon his podcast when searching for podcasts on juicing celery. I love how real and level headed Dr. Cabral is and that he looks at both sides of the story. With that being said, I have a question. To give you a bit of background I am a 34 year old female. I am 5'1" and weigh 105 lbs. I consider myself pretty active engaging in crossfit and yoga 5-6 days a week. I am a former devision 1 athlete and have been active my whole life. I feel I eat fairly well... although am learning daily from Dr. Cabral's podcast on improvements I can make. I have 2 bachelors degrees... one in health promotions and one in nursing. About 9 months ago I started to feel tingling and a little numb in my extremities... my arms, legs and right side of face. I was went to multiple drs... was prescribed steroids (which I will never take again... I feel like they are poison) and about a week or so after the 5 day steroid taper I began to feel extremely anxious. This anxiety has been present on and off since it started. I have had MRIs of my brain and all of my spine (lumbar, thoracic, cervical), saw a neurologist, did a full blood panel and all tests and Drs... have cleared me for anything significant. Fast forward to middle of December when i started to feel "lightheaded", this is the best way I know how to describe it, It is not like the "light headed that you would get if you were laying down and then got up fast. It is more of a constant fog, lightheaded, unfocused feeling at the front of my head and eyes. Once this began I went to an integrative Nurse practitioner who ran a few more additional tests, cortisol levels, thyroid, Vitamin D3, and adrenals... She called back saying the results were all normal and that the symptoms I am having must be from anxiety. Due to the unfocused feeling I have with my eyes I went to an eye dr... who tested multiple things and in the end said I have "better than great eyesight". I have had the "light headed" feeling for going on 2 months now. To say I am confused is an understatement. I think all of the not knowing is making me anxious for sure. I will wake up at least 1 time a week with a little "anxiety attack". Ive never considered myself to be an anxious person... I do worry about things... but for the most part have always been pretty "chill". I am trying my very best to naturally take care of the anxiety. I am meditating, doing more yoga, doing my best to eat healthy, focusing on my buried emotions and feelings, acupuncture.... etc. Now to my question haha.... Does this sound like it could be anxiety? OR does it sound like it could be something else.... Ive had a million thoughts.... Maybe hormonal?? I would love any suggestions you have for me. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! Brennan Sarah: Hi Dr. Cabral, I have been experiencing what I think my be a reaction to food. I turn red and feel swollen in the face about a half hour after I eat some foods, as well as digestive discomfort, smelly gas(which I read can be linked to food intolerance) and bloating. I am not sure what the food is but seems too be around when I have crackers, tortilla chips, or trail mix. I have taken the skin prick test for allergies but have not reacted to any foods. My body does not respond well digestively when I have dairy (the past couple of years, before that I would have yogurt and milk multiple times a day) so I avoid that but do not have any other food rules. I was thinking gluten or wheat may be a factor but I tested negative for celiac and did not have a reactive to the skin prick. I also was wondering if oils could cause this or be a reaction to a type of oils like canola. I looked into your food sensitivity lab and am interested in it, but did n
