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:  Lisa: I am looking for help on how to use andrographis paniculata? I was given a cutting at a local plant exchange & I understand it is also known as Indian Echinacea. I am excited to have it and I am looking to understand how it is used for medicine. Is it used in tea, is it dried out and ingested as a herb? It says it is bitter on some research I have done. It apparently is good for bites & stings too. Dr Stephen Cabral what would you suggest for dosage & use? Thank you gor your feedback Fiona: Hi there, I need some advice on where to get started with supplements and testing. Brief background. Im a 32 year old female and i live in Australia. I am about 165cm tall and about 59/62kgs. I dont have any health issues that I know of however I do suffer from anxiety, depression and OCD. I dont take anything for it and am highly functioning, I study full time as well as working full time. I study in the field of nutrition so I am knowledgeable and look after myself well, eating well 90% of the time and excerise (walking) 6 times per week. I suffer from quite extreme bloating, most obvious around the time of my menstrual cycle. My main concerns /problem areas are my mental state and gut health, which I understand are connected. I would prefer not to be medicated for my anixiety, OCD, depression. I am not at risk of harm to myself or others however it does weigh me down on a daily basis and I would like to try all avenues to get on top of it. What testing / supplements would you recommend I begin with?I appreciate your help.  Miren: Hi, I just completed the 21-Day Detox Diet. Although I did see some improvements, I feel like there are still many underlying root causes that still need to be addressed. Specifically, I do believe that I have issues with my cortisol levels, adrenals, thyroid, and bloating. Even on the detox, I was still experiencing bloating, gas and upset stomach after eating the approved foods.  I am having problems deciding which lab to purchase, the Thyroid+Adrenal or OAT +Food Sensitivity test, as I can only afford one lab at this time. I still have weight to lose that is not responsive to diet and exercise. However, I don't know if I should address my gut issues first? My concern is that If I choose to address my adrenals and thyroid first, then I will not see the best benefit because my gut issues will continue to cause the inflammation and bloating? Do I have that wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated as I do want to get better, but only have limited funds at this time (even with the new payment plans) **For reference, I am a 41 yr old female, 5'2 and 134lbs. I work out with weights 4 days a week, 2 HIIT sessions, 2 days a week jogging for 30 min. I have been on a low carb/keto diet for over 3 years. My body used to naturally sit at 120-123lbs without much effort, prior to me experiencing these weight and gut issues for the past 2 1/2 years. I started to have gut issues around 13 yrs old. I have also had ovarian cysts, ulcers, shingles in my early thirties, and also lost my period for 18 months after trying to diet down for a fitness competition ( I was able to get my period back after having to take progesterone from my doctor). I am really looking forward to your response and finally feeling like myself again!
