Dr Sandra Cabot's Podcast

In today's episode I am joined by my patient, Bev, who shares her experience of reversing insulin resistance. Bev is a retired registered nurse so knows a lot more than the average person about health. When I first met Bev, she was carrying extra weight around the abdominal area and had elevated fasting blood sugar levels. Bev had been an athlete her entire life, and always active in some form. She was never unhealthy or eating a bad diet, but underneath the surface was the underlying issue of insulin resistance. While she was eating lots of healthy foods like vegetables and meat, she was also eating a lot of excess carbs in the form of pasta, bread and sweet foods. Bev was insulin resistant, pre-diabetic, with very high blood pressure, reflux and was extremely intolerant to heat. Since my diagnosis of insulin resistance 2 years ago, Bev's previous health issues have improved significantly or disappeared entirely through eliminating gluten, improving liver function, and losing 16 kg.

In part 2 of my discussion with Michelle, we talk all about the way she eats to maintain her health. At the beginning of 2025 Michelle thought to try integrative medicine. This has allowed her to feel good for the first time in 26 years. At the age of 71, Michelle is feeling good as well as looking healthy. Michelle now takes Livatone Plus, NAC and the Ultimate Gut Health powder. Her liver has since become regenerated, and her liver function tests are now perfect. Livatone Plus has everything your body needs to detoxify. When your liver is inflamed your liver produces glutathione to protect the liver, but if you are selenium deficient glutathione will not work properly. NAC is the precursor to glutathione. Michelle talks in detail about her meals and how she avoids processed foods and instead focuses on sources of protein and vegetables.

Dr Cabot sits down with long-term patient and guest star, Michelle to talk about her incredible fatty liver success story. In 2000, Michelle was suddenly hospitalised with severe onset liver and kidney failure. It was a real shock to her as she had no idea she had any issues with her liver. She was severely jaundiced and low in energy with her liver enzymes being extremely elevated. The cause was never discovered, making it quite a mysterious liver disease. At the time of diagnosis, Michelle weighed around 90 kg and her diet wasn't great. The doctors recommended rest and diet changes, but a lot of the recommendations from the dietician were high in carbohydrates. As a result, Michelle put on more weight, had reflux, remained tired, had indigestion and a chronic fungal infection in her nails. When Dr Cabot first met Michelle, she tested her to see if she had the genes to predispose her to gluten intolerance and it was discovered that Michelle was indeed gluten intolerant. She was put on a diet that excluded grains and although it was hard in the beginning, has now become a way of life for her. She feels so much better in herself now.

In Dr Cabot's latest podcast, she talks all about the liver and how a sluggish liver can cause fatigue. The liver manages the body’s energy supply, and the Chinese call the liver The General of the Army of the Body. Not only does the liver create energy, but it also manufactures and secretes specific compounds such as bile and IGF-1, as well as removing and neutralising substances that are toxic to the body. In this way, the liver is our great protector by helping us to fight infection and protect our immune system from overload. To add to the liver's many functions, it also acts as a warehouse for vitamins A, D, E, K, B12 and the minerals iron and copper, as well as regulating our hormones.

In Dr Cabot's latest podcast she sits down once more with natural therapist, Rachel Bowerman to discuss cold sores and shingles. Cold sores are easily the most common type of herpes virus to infect humans. There are a lot of people who experience chronic or recurrent cold sores or shingles. Rachel has worked in pharmacies for over 20 years and has a lot of experience both personally and professionally with cold sores. People are always looking for ways to prevent them as not only are they contagious, but they can also be unsightly. If you get a lot of cold sores this is an indicator that your immune system needs some support. There have been lots of studies on selenium and its ability to reduce the severity and frequency of viral infections. In this way it can be very effective at reducing cold sores. Dr Cabot calls selenium the ‘viral birth control pill’ as it stops the ability of viruses to replicate. Vitamin D is another nutrient that is critical for the brain and immune system. If you are someone who experiences recurring cold sores, look at taking selenium and checking your vitamin D level.

Have you heard of NAC? In our latest podcast Dr Cabot talks to natural therapist, Rachel Bowerman about NAC. NAC stands for N-Acetyl Cysteine and is the precursor to glutathione; the body's most potent antioxidant. NAC is rapidly absorbed from the gut and goes straight to the liver where it is converted to glutathione. NAC is a critical supplement for people with chronic infections or chronic inflammation. There are numerous health studies on NAC and its ability to break down biofilm (the thick mucus that builds up around an infection) and for this reason is extremely effective for treating viral or bacterial infections, cystic fibrosis, chronic lung disease, chronic bronchitis, post-nasal drip or sinusitis. It is also beneficial for treating conditions such as age-related macular degeneration (the most common cause of blindness), endometriosis, lung and kidney problems. Did you know glutathione does not work as well if you are low in selenium? If you are taking NAC and not getting the results you want, it could be because you also need to take selenium.

Do you need more energy? Do you suffer with persistent or frequent fatigue even though you have a good diet and lifestyle? Has your doctor done tests to check for the cause of your persistent tiredness but found no leads? Do you wake up tired even though you've had a good night's sleep? If so, it is most likely due to your mitochondria. In today's podcast, Dr Cabot talks all about energy. She discusses the types of foods that can cause energy slumps and how to improve our mitchondria(the energy factories of our body). Poor mitochondrial function is very common today due to environmental pollution, microplastics, processed foods and the overuse of certain prescribed medications. If your mitochondria are not working well, you can increase your chances of developing Alzheimer's disease, diabetes, cancer, diabetes, an autoimmune disorder and/or cardiovascular disease. She mentions the specific test you can order to check your mitochondrial function, the risk factors for low energy, the symptoms you can expect, as well as diet and lifestyle changes to improve energy.

In today's podcast Dr Sandra Cabot chats with Igor Pershin, a health coach and counsellor plus founder of Natural Filters. They discuss the healthy beverages that people can drink to enhance their health, particularly water. Do you know that the brain accumulates more microplastics than any other part of the body? This causes terrible inflammation and dysfunction in the brain tissue. Igor shares some practical and easy ways people can reduce their exposure to microplastics. We all know we need to drink more water for health so what are our options? Tap water is free but full of chlorine which is bad for gut health not to mention heavy metals and other nasties. Bottled water is bad for our environment and sheds microplastics into our bodies. Listen to Igor talk about better filter options for our overall health..
