Summary
Dr. Stephen Cabral answers listener questions on retained infant reflexes in toddlers, thyroid-related weight loss challenges, purchasing pre-owned health devices, cherry angiomas, and bloating tied to environmental factors. He covers root-cause testing for children, blood sugar stability, sleep needs, and functional lab work for identifying gut and heavy metal issues.
Key Points
- Retained infant reflexes in toddlers can affect motor development and may respond to specific integrative exercises.
- Thyroid-driven weight loss resistance often requires testing free T3, reverse T3, and thyroid antibodies beyond standard TSH panels.
- Pre-owned health devices (red light panels, PEMF mats) are generally safe to buy used if the technology is well-established.
- Cherry angiomas are usually benign but a sudden increase can indicate liver overload or estrogen dominance.
- Bloating from environmental factors often traces back to mold exposure, which disrupts gut microbiome balance.
- Functional lab testing (GI MAP, OAT, heavy metals) identifies the root cause of chronic bloating more reliably than elimination diets alone.

HRV went back up, sleep improved, etc

"HRV went back up, sleep improved, etc. Go back to their Miami place in the city. HRV goes down, stress goes up, digestion weekends. I'm telling you in the cities, some people are very sensitive to EMFs, the lack of negative ions that you would get like living in a more nature-based environment. Blue light, all of these things really matter to people. We have someone on our team. I'm not going to mention who they are. Really sensitive to EMFs."
So great to use during the day

"office, which is so terrible for your eyes, this reduces eye strain blocks about 20 to 50 percent in the blue light. So great to use during the day. They won't make you sleepy. Now, or you can choose the orange lenses for before bed, which is exactly what I use myself. I put them on at least an hour before bed."
And I'm actually doing a show on this in just a couple of weeks
But I've got some new research on it. And I'm actually doing a show on this in just a couple of weeks.
"But I've got some new research on it. And I'm actually doing a show on this in just a couple of weeks. So stay tuned. So everything that I've ever seen before for cherry angiomas is basically they are benign. They are largely genetic and hereditary. If your parents had them, you'll probably have them too. I've seen them around. It's always about like more angiogenesis, blood flow, capillary red blood cells coming to the top of the skin."
I can't go through all of your labs
NP thyroid medication, taking meds for three months, cholesterol is higher than ever at 320, triglycerides are 143, HDL is 57, LDL 236. If anybody wants to follow along, you can just look at steaminggrabaw.com, slash 3698.
"NP thyroid medication, taking meds for three months, cholesterol is higher than ever at 320, triglycerides are 143, HDL is 57, LDL 236. I can't go through all of your labs. Kathy, I appreciate you writing them in though. If anybody wants to follow along, you can just look at steaminggrabaw.com, slash 3698. Thyroid is elevated and some imbalance gut bacteria. Okay. Then it says, be on thankful for an insight. God bless."
