So, if your liver filter and detox pathways are not working efficiently, you will get a build-up of unhealthy cells and inflammatory chemicals in your blood, overloading your immune system. This can manifest as increasing allergies, chemical and food sensitivities, increased inflammation, increased infections and more severe infections, swollen glands, fatigue and autoimmune diseases. People who have a fatty liver, often have more severe infections. Also, COVID can be 7 times more fatal in people who have a fatty liver.

The more cholesterol in your diet, the less cholesterol your liver will manufacture.

Leptin resistance is extremely common. If your fat cells have been pumping out high levels of leptin for some time, your brain stops responding to it. That can give you feelings of intense hunger and cravings that are never satisfied. What causes leptin resistance? The most significant factors are consuming excess sugar (particularly fructose) and having high blood triglycerides. The eating plan in Dr Cabot’s weight loss book called I Can’t Lose Weight and I Don’t Know Why helps to address both of these problems.

Dr Sandra Cabot and Dr Evgenia Nisman discuss hormones and their effect on weight management.
Your body weight is not merely an equation between the number of calories you consume and how many you burn off with exercise. Your hormones play a massive role in determining how much you weigh and where on your body you tend to store fat. For many of our patients correcting the underlying hormonal imbalances becomes the most crucial factor in enabling them to lose weight.

Dr Sandra Cabot and Naturopath Margaret Jasinska discuss how you can improve your sleep.
For many individuals, sleep is something that is easily achieved – as soon as their head hits the pillow, they’re out like a light. For others, sleep is a hurdle, many can experience trouble getting to sleep or difficulty staying asleep, sleep simply eludes them. Sleep is an important restorative process for your mind, body and perhaps your spirit. Adequate sleep is also essential for optimising our physical and mental performance during the day, maintaining good immunity, boosting our metabolism, slowing down the ageing process and providing an escape from our daily problems and conscious mind. It is recommended to get between 7 and 8 hours of sleep a night; however this can vary depending on the individual.

Dr Sandra Cabot and Naturopath Margaret Jasinska discuss breast health and how to reduce your risk of breast cancer.
Breast health is a concern for the majority of women. This is natural because it can feel terrifying to notice a lump or other abnormality. I encourage all women to perform self-breast examinations regularly. It is essential to be familiar with your own breasts; knowing exactly how they appear and how they feel. This way, you can detect subtle changes at an early stage, and then see your doctor for further investigations if necessary.

Dr Sandra Cabot and Naturopath Margaret Jasinska discuss how to boost your energy.
Fatigue may be a symptom of an underlying disorder such as iron deficiency, viral infections, thyroid problems, diabetes, heart or lung disorders to name a few. However, most people complaining of fatigue have none of these problems and all investigations are normal. In this situation, the cause is likely to be related to lifestyle factors including a poor diet, a toxic liver and stress. Other possibilities include chronic fatigue syndrome or adrenal exhaustion.

A timely and regular Cleanse will prevent your body from getting too badly out of balance, so it then becomes harder to go back to your original healthier state. You have probably heard of the theory of Critical Mass, which is used in physics and sociology. It is a size or state of something (such as a thunderstorm, nuclear fissile or human body) where a thing becomes self-perpetuating – in other words, it can start to grow more quickly by itself. For example, if an obese person keeps gaining weight they will eventually get to a critical mass, which causes their hunger and fat storing hormones to become permanently elevated; this causes them to gain weight more and more easily. When talking of total body toxin accumulation, this can reach a critical mass (level) where the detoxification systems of the body become overloaded and no longer work efficiently. The high level of toxins causes weight gain (they become obesogens) and inflammation (they become inflamogens). We want to avoid getting to a critical mass state in our body when it comes to fat and toxin accumulation. A regular Cleanse will prevent this and make it much easier for you to sustain your better level of health that you achieved after your first Cleanse.

The lifecycle of red blood cells is 120 days (4 months), and this is an important cycle in the body as red cells carry fresh oxygen to your cells and remove the waste product of metabolism carbon dioxide. Red blood cells are susceptible to damage from heavy metals and cannot protect themselves as well as other cells. Thus the 120-day cycle of your red blood cells is an opportune time to do a cleanse. It is ideal to do the Cleanse up to 3 times per year as the red blood cells are renewed, to ensure optimal detoxification and overall health.

Toxins like lead, mercury, arsenic, asbestos, cadmium, and the pesticide DDT are found in a vast number of agricultural, industrial and household products in Australia. Dirty air conditioners, a lot of beauty products, plastic wrapping, new clothing, air fresheners and new furniture can be a source of toxic chemicals.
Exposure to these toxins can cause immediate illness and/or long-term disease; unfortunately. Some doctors are unable to identify that the patient’s symptoms are caused by excess exposure to environmental toxins.

Syndrome X is also known as the Metabolic Syndrome, Insulin Resistance or Pre-Diabetes. It can best be described as the chemical imbalance that makes your body store fat. This chemical imbalance also stops you burning fat. The key to weight loss is you must get your insulin working better which will get your insulin levels down. Only then can you burn fat.
Dr Sandra Cabot and Holly Natasja talk about being itchy down there.
Being a woman certainly has its pros and cons. Different stages in life make certain health conditions become more likely as the female body goes through biological and hormonal changes. We experience many health concerns that are specific to our gender.

Dr Sandra Cabot and Holly Natasja discuss how to improve your libido.
Your libido is your sex drive or your interest and enjoyment of sex.
When it comes to libido, John Gray, the author of the famous book Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus, was right! The sexes are different. I often hear the complaint from my female patients, that they have forgotten what it feels like to really enjoy sensual sex with their partner - yes they do complain about it, so don’t feel alone!

Dr Sandra Cabot and Nutritionist Louise Belle discuss healing liver disease with foods.
If you have been diagnosed with a fatty liver it is vital that you take a pro-active approach, otherwise the condition will progress and your liver function will deteriorate. Fatty liver is closely associated with Syndrome X (insulin resistance) and an increased risk of type 2 diabetes. Luckily fatty liver disease is reversible; the liver is able to repair itself and fatty deposits can be removed from within it.

Dr Sandra Cabot and Naturopath Victoria Taylor discuss holistic help for Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS).
Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is the most common hormonal disorder that affects women during their reproductive years. As the name suggests, women with PCOS have cysts on their ovaries. In a normal ovary, a single egg develops and is released from the ovary each month. In women with PCOS, normal ovulation is inhibited, and the eggs become trapped in the ovaries. This results in small fluid-filled sacs (cysts) in the ovaries.

Dr Sandra Cabot and Naturopath Victoria Taylor discuss fatty liver and how to reverse it.
Fatty liver occurs when excess fat accumulates inside liver cells. This means normal, healthy liver tissue becomes partly replaced with fatty tissue. The fat starts to invade the liver, gradually infiltrating the healthy liver areas so that less and less healthy liver tissue remains. The fatty liver has a yellow greasy appearance and is often enlarged and swollen with fat. This fatty infiltration slows down the metabolism of body fat stores, which means that the liver burns fat less efficiently, resulting in weight gain and inability to lose weight. However, some people can have a fatty liver without being overweight.

Dr Sandra Cabot chats to Mark about how he used detox to beat the pain of arthritis.
Arthritis refers to inflammation of the joints. It is incredibly common in the elderly, but there have also been several cases of young adults or middle-aged people with this debilitating disease. Symptoms include: stiffness, pain, swelling and deformity of the joint. There are several types of arthritis, however the two most common are Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis. Osteoarthritis is due to wear and tear of the joints, causing the gradual breakdown of the bone and the cartilage. This often results in a crackling noise in the joints known as crepitus, this is due to the rough surfaces of the bone rubbing against each other. Rheumatoid Arthritis on the other hand, is one of the most common autoimmune diseases where the immune system attacks the joints.

Dr Sandra Cabot and Naturopath Margaret Jasinska discuss how to have healthy gut bacteria.
More and more we are hearing about the importance of having a healthy gut. There are around 500 different species of bacteria in the intestines and new species are continually being discovered. The types and amounts of bacteria in your intestines have a profound effect on your health. Good bacteria are anti-inflammatory, whereas bad bacteria secrete highly inflammatory substances into the gut. Having high levels of bad gut bacteria (dysbiosis) puts a huge strain on your immune system, increasing the amount of inflammation and tissue destruction occurring in the body.

Dr Sandra Cabot and Naturopath Margaret Jasinska discuss how to have a super digestive system.
The statement that good health resides in your gut was promoted by Hippocrates the father of medicine and I am a firm believer in this theory. Most of our immune system resides in the gut, and the liver is an important part of our immune competence.

You probably don’t often think about your kidneys. If you have never experienced a problem with them you would have no reason to. However, kidney disease tends to creep up on people, not causing symptoms until it becomes severe.

Dr Sandra Cabot and Naturopath Margaret Jasinska discuss how to relieve headaches.
Headaches are a common problem and are generally transient and eased by a mild analgesic such as tablets containing a combination of paracetamol or aspirin with codeine. More than 90% of all headaches are classified as tension headaches, which occur when the muscles in the back of your neck and/or scalp tighten. Sometimes they can be relieved by lying down at the first hint of a headache in a dark room, drinking cool water and placing a cold pack over the head and face.

You may have heard of intermittent fasting. It is also known as time-restricted feeding. There are many variations on the theme, but the basic premise is to allow gaps between meals. As long as your three meals are satisfying and contain a good amount of protein and healthy fats, leaving several hours between meals is useful for reducing hunger and also improving glucose tolerance. This is important for people with syndrome X.

Dr Sandra Cabot discusses sugar addiction and how to overcome it with Dr Olivia Lesslar.
It’s normal to get sugar cravings every now and then. However, if you find that you cannot go more than a few hours before reaching for a sweet treat and have trouble controlling how much you eat, then it could be a sign that you’re addicted to sugar. When we consume sugar, it activates the reward centre of the brain to secrete dopamine which makes us feel happy, calm and satisfied. The brain begins to see sugar as a reward and makes you crave it. Research has shown that in some people, sugar can be as addictive as heroine.
Do you find yourself binging on sugar when you’re feeling down? Do you notice headaches, mood swings or low energy levels if you haven’t had sugar for a while? Do you constantly crave sweet treats? If you answered yes to these questions, you could have a sugar addiction which needs to be overcome.

Dr Sandra Cabot discusses allergies with Dr Olivia Lesslar.
An allergic response is an inappropriate reaction (exaggerated response) of the body’s immune system to a substance that is normally harmless to the body.
The offending substance is called an allergen and can include; dust, dust mite, grass pollens, certain foods, food additives, chemicals, some metals like nickel, and animal hair to name but a few.
Initial exposure to the allergen leads to the production of specific antibodies. These antibodies attach themselves to body cells (such as mast cells and basophils that form part of our immune system).
On subsequent exposure, the allergens can then bind to the sensitised cells by bridging the antibodies, as a key fits into a lock. Once unlocked, the mast cells release histamine and other inflammatory chemicals.
These chemicals are responsible for such symptoms as inflammation, swelling, redness, itching, dilatation of blood vessels, constriction of the airways and increased mucus secretion.
Typical allergic reactions include; asthma, hayfever, sinusitis, swelling of the throat (anaphylaxis), hives, eczema, migraine headaches and abdominal bloating and cramping.
According to the Australasian Society of Clinical Immunology and Allergy, four in ten Australians suffer from allergies of some sort including cow’s milk, dust mites, pollen, pets, moulds, certain chemicals and food additives.

Most people know there are 2 types of diabetes, but many do not understand that they have very different causes. The symptoms can be similar in the later stages, but in the beginning stages of diabetes, the changes that are happening in the body are incredibly different between diabetes type 1 and diabetes type 2.

In this day and age, where everything is fast paced and we often feel like there are not enough hours in a day, it’s essential to make sure we are nourishing our body with the correct foods. When we feel exhausted it’s very easy for us to reach for a sugary snack that provides a temporary boost in energy levels, only to result in a sugar crash that leaves us feeling more fatigued than ever.
