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! Dalila: Hello, Could you kindly tell me, weither you deliver to England, UK. I am very interested in doing your wellness and food sensitivity test! If not, would you be able to recommend anywhere in the south of England that may practice something similar to what you do. This would be of great help. I love listening to the podcast, very informative. Thank you for your time. Kind Regards, Dalila Aaron: Hi Stephen, thanks for the podcast. I have been struggling with gynecomastia caused by low testosterone. Everywhere I look online seems to say that since it is not weight based there is not much to do. I also do not want to begin taking testosterone. Thanks Tenille: Greetings from Hobart, Australia Dr Cabral! I really appreciate your podcasts, the wisdom you share & am really hoping you can provide some guidance for my own health issues. I ordered various tests last year and now have a clear picture of what I'm dealing with. I'm seeing a local Dr (integrative medicine specialist); her knowledge is amazing, but admits she's honestly not 100% sure of an exact diet plan to suggest for all of my symptoms (aside from a cup of organic bone broth 3 times/day to repair stomach lining/heal gut, no fruit, no starchy veggies, 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar daily, only eat soluble fibre (ie: soaked psyllium), no coffee, no yeast products or gluten, etc), which I find extremely difficult to navigate & follow as it's bland, unappealing & I honestly haven't been able to stick to it :-( I recently listened to your podcast via Melissa Ambrosini's show & believe you may be the person who can help :-) Here are the results of various blood tests, colonoscopy/endoscopy & complete stool test: - no h.pylori or parasites detected - Aerobes: Overgrowth of streptococcus gallolyticus (formerly called strep. Bovis); thankfully colonoscopy detected no bowel cancer, nor polyps. Normally streptococcus level allowed is <5%; I have 58.33%. E.coli undergrowth; level is 41% (should be 70-90% range) Anaerobes: bacterioids low - only 39.5% & only 3 species detected. -severely lactose intolerant - GORD/erosion of oesophagus/experiencing frequent reflux/heartburn - high level of candida overgrowth - zinc level is 10.4 (low considered 11.5 on Australian scale & 23 considered high) - copper toxicity found: Australian scale states 8 is low & 21 is highest margin. I'm 38.4 (extremely high) - low bile production level - oestrogen dominance - not breaking down fats properly - leaky gut / malabsorption of vitamins & minerals - luckily all thyroid levels were within normal ranges I have also gained 20kg in 2 years. I have been on the contraceptive pill for 23 years now (tried to stop it on 6 occasions only to have severe acne breakouts). - experiencing very low energy, fatigue, brain fog, gurgling stomach, etc. I dearly want to fix my gut, absorb all the vitamins & minerals naturally from veggies, fruit & meat, and then finally; stop taking the pill. I've spent over $3,000 on testing, hospital visits, supplements & Drs appts in the past 4 months. I've also completed the OAT test, but can't afford to return my Dr just yet for the results, as her visits are so expensive and I'm trying to renovate my home on the top of everything else. I imagine your CBO protocol is probably my next best step, but is it possible to purchase a shopping list or a nutritional guide (eg: month 1 of the protocol) separately, then the other 2 months in due course? I'm trying to find the most economical solution as it has been an expensive road getting to this point & stressing me out like crazy!! I've been prescribed in the past months the following: - 1 mth of Nexium (1 tab daily) for GORD. Reflux has returned nightly since stopping it. - 2 mth course of Nilstatin to combat candida overgrowth - high st
