2682: Toned Triceps, Ningxia Red, Crohn's Support, DIM & HRT, Hearing Aids, Breathing & Stress (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:

Ciro: Hi Dr. Cabral.Thank you for all the knowledge that you share.I have a question about weight training. I'm a 45 years old male; weight 194 lbs. and 5ft 11. I have a fairly robust looking body/torso with good muscle percentage in general, but my arms look very lean in comparison to the rest of my body. My biceps get toned fairly easily but my triceps just won't get toned. I don't take any supplements with regards to muscle gain, but I do weight training (using YBELL training or CrossFit inspired exercises) 2 times a week and soccer once a week. I go to a gym now but have the YBELL's at home as well. What would you recommend I look into? Which specific exercises do you recommend me doing so the arms will be more toned and specifically the triceps and shoulders?

Julia: Hi Dr. Cabral! I was wondering what your thoughts are on young livings Ningxia Red. They claim that "antioxidant drink is clinically shown to increase physical energy levels, improve sleep patterns, and reduce daily stress. It's packed with powerful antioxidants to help against oxidative stress, support normal cellular function, and promote healthy energy levels." Some people I know swear by it and drink it daily and it anted to know if it's a good product. I searched the archive and couldn't find anything on it. Maybe you can do a product review? Thanks!

Natalia: Hi Stephen - I've been listening to your podcasts for a couple months now and they have helped me so much and I'm implementing things as I go. I feel fantastic so far on a 14 hour fast etc, but I would love to know how I can help my partner who has Chrons - he had the bag for a year, he had the surgery - the bag was removed - but they anticipate he will have more surgery - I would love to avoid that - his diet recommendations are so different to what I know as 'right' for most people his diet recommended white bread, white rice, no vege skins etc. would you recommend he do a full lab test? He works hard all day - but he gets tired - I would just love to help go feel as energetic as I feel now - pls direct me to how I can help him - thanks

Samantha: Hello, I listen to the podcast all the time and it has helped me so much. Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge with us. My question is I have been told to stop taking DIM if I'm taking HRT. I only use the oestrogen gel as I have a Mirena coil fitted for progesterone. Please can you tell me if this is correct? Also please can you comment on hearing aids with blue tooth are they safe? Much appreciated. Samantha

Anonymous: Thank you for all you do! I've done a lot of work on my health (multiple DCD, CBO, HMD, take daily supplements, etc.). One thing I'm working on is getting into the parasympathetic more and lowering my slightly elevated heart rate. I've listened to podcasts on this subject and your interview with Patrick McKeown on how important breathing is. It seems every time I focus on my breath I feel more stressed. I've tried different breathing techniques, yoga and I make sure I'm not over oxygenating. It just seems to raise my heart rate and I haven't seen the relaxing benefits. Even when I try not to manipulate my breath and just move my focus to it, I feel the stress response. Any suggestions? Thanks
