Cabral Concept: Wellness | Weight Loss | Anti Aging I Detox L Functional Medicine

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: Cassidy: Hi Dr. Cabral, I’m not sure whether you deal much in feminine health, but I always enjoy listening to your house calls and thought you may be able to help. I’m an overall healthy woman in my 20s. However, I find that during sex, I typically don’t produce much or any of my body’s own natural lubrication, regardless of level of arousal. This dryness always leaves my vagina irritated, itchy and sore for several days after sex. I mentioned it to my doctor and she suggested using a lubricant gel, this does help, but I would like to get to the root of the issue. Not to mention, avoid all the synthetic chemicals in those lubricants. The odd thing is, I believe I produce a normal to above average amount of vaginal discharge during my day to day life. I can rule out any stds as the cause, as I have been tested

Gone are the days where I take the information I was taught in school and in my textbooks at face value... Granted, most of it is sound advice, but some of it needs to be tested in the real world to see if the research holds up outside of controlled clinical or lab studies... I applied this same questioning methodology to the long held belief that working your abs will hurt your lower back... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 734 to find out if this statement is really true: Doing crunches (and sit-ups) will hurt your lower back - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/734 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral    

One topic that most people shy away from speaking about is anything that pertains to their bowel movements...

Our understanding of brain based dis-eases has come a long way over the past few years... We now know the 14 risk factors for getting dementia or Alzheimer's and because of that knowledge we can now act upon it to lessen or even prevent these brain based health issues... My goal on today's #CabralConcept 732 is to teach you the 5 proven ways to detect and eliminate the root causes of imbalanced brain health, so that you do not need to fear getting Alzheimer's as you age - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/732 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral    

Providing advice to someone that's at a real low point in their life can be a sensitive and tricky topic to bridge... However, saying nothing, and offering no advice at all can often leave someone feeling even more alone, overwhelmed, and unable to cope with their current situation... On today's #CabralConcept 731 I'd like to share some wisdom that has been passed along to me that I believe may just help you put your life back together in a way that not only leaves you more happy, but also fulfilled - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/731 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral  

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…  Let’s get started! Lisa: Hi, Dr. Cabral! I am 48 years old and about 175 lbs. I'm always bloated, but I eat healthy. My upper right stomach area is more bloated and distended than the left. My Dr. isn't concerned because of how long it's been like that; assuming it;s from the 4 c-sections I've had in the past. I always feel bloated. I know that stress has me producing Cortisol (based upon my own research). Should I try an elimination diet? Joana: Dear Dr. Cabral, I have been listening and reading the information that you have been giving in your podcast and in your site for a week now. You have a lot of great information. Probably you have talked about this before but I still didn't find it...my question is: if you had a friend who is studying to be a functional or integrative health coach or doctor, which 5 books would you

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: Anonymous: Dr Cabral, thank you so much for taking time to answer all of your community’s questions. My husband has a strong odor to his feet to the point where no spray, no powder can help. He wears work boots all day and does construction in Boston. He’s in the boots for probably close to 12 hours a day. We go through buying him new boots all of the time because they are honestly putrid. We have a boot warmer that is supposed to help but will knock you on your toosh if you walk in the basement. His diet is ok, could be a lot better. Exercise is basically just his work. He wants to start eating better and working out. What could be the cause of this terrible smell coming from his feet? Sincerely a wife who is tired of throwing away socks and buying expensive work boots all of the time. Maxine: Good afternoon!

Unless you're able to workout 5-6 days a week, you need maximize the time you do have when you exercise... This means that the programs you spend your time on have to work, so that you're not just wasting energy by going through the motions... For most people, this means switching up your workouts to include full body routines that will boost your metabolism while reshaping your physique... On today's #CabralConcept 727 I want to share with you the 2 exercises to include in every workout that will help you do just that - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/727 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

Most of us are familiar with life-threatening food allergies like having a peanut anaphylactic reaction, but being "sensitive" to certain foods goes much deeper... Did you know that the weight gain, wellness issues, or brain fog you're experiencing may be tied to "healthy" foods you're eating that unexpectedly trigger delayed immune reactions in your body? These food based reactions cause inflammation days after eating the food, which then in turn can create other more pronounced symptoms that we label as "dis-ease..." Tune into today's #CabralConcept 726 for all the details on how and why food sensitivities make you feel inflamed and swollen - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/726 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral  

Having personally dealt with a debilitating case of Candida overgrowth many years ago I literally "tried it all" when it came to curing my Candida... The problem was that no matter what I did, all I could ever find was temporary relief...

Today on the #CabralConcept 725 I explain the truth behind why Candida Diets don't work and what to do instead to get the results you want - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/725 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…  Let’s get started! Cristi: Hi Dr. Cabral, I apprecate the work you do more than you know. I ordered the daily protocol package to try with my husband and maybe kids too, but I do have other questions. Mostly, I’m wondering which supplements we’re currently taking would still be necessary, and in what amounts. For example, if I want to take additional vitamin D because it’s winter and we do live in a suburb of Boston as well, would I need more K2 than is included in the daily formula? Currently we take D3 with K2, and I know there is K2 in the formula, but is it enough to counterbalance extra D3? I also use collagen peptides on a daily basis as my protein in the morning. If I want to continue that, will that be too much protein in addition to the shake? The collagen peptides are listed as having 20 g of protein in two scoops,

It's hard to believe another week has already passed by and that we're almost at the end of January! I always get into this reflective mindset as I bring you each week's #FridayReview and that's why I love the repetition of trying to recap each week and then look forward to what's coming in the next... On today's show I'll be sharing you breaking news in the Cannabis and CBD oil industry where outside forces are looking to take control of a very vulnerable industry (and not for the better)... Next up, we'll discuss the real effects of alcohol on gut function and aging, as well as who should definitely NOT be consuming it on a regular basis... And last (but not least!) we'll be covering our new super-nutrient of the week responsible for everything from boosting hormones and metabolism to ensuring you reduce your risk of getting cancer...

It's unfortunate right now that in our culture certain dogmas or mindsets get formed that become so rigid no new information is allowed to enter in... One of those areas is without a doubt the fitness field. "Experts" will spend years building a name for themselves based upon a certain style of training, but then find themselves in so deep that they can't turn back - Essentially their programming has become their namesake... It's my belief that you must absorb all information (from great minds around the world) and then use what is applicable for yourself in order to create a personalized approach to health & fitness... On today's #CabralConcept 720 I'd like to share with you how you can transform your body in just 6 weeks by combining the best of the best in training and nutrition - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/720 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

I've gotten so many questions on how to heal from Hashimoto's and low thyroid symptoms such as brain fog, thinning hair, fatigue, cold hands/feet, and low mood that I wanted to create a "how-to" show on what you need to do to rebalance your body... Although there are thousands of Functional Medicine doctors and practitioners that help patients and clients everyday to recover from thyroid issues, it's not very well known in the conventional medicine world... After all, if you're diagnosed with Hashimoto's, low thyroid, or any of the symptoms above you're most likely only given the one option to take a thyroid medication for the rest of your life - But how does that help rebalance the body?  It doesn't... So, on today's #CabralConcept 719 I want to share with you the "Done for You Complete Low Thyroid Protocol" I used every week in my Boston and online practice - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/719 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

There are dozens of what are called "sub-clinical" lab tests that can literally reveal to you what your underlying root cause health imbalances are, but unfortunately you'll most likely never hear about them... The reason they're kept from you is simply because they do not "diagnose dis-ease," which means that pharmaceuticals cannot be prescribed - which also means that health insurance will not cover them... Unfortunately, these are the labs that could save lives. They'll tell you far in advance what your hormone, gut dysfunction, mineral, vitamin, omega-3s, food sensitivity and other biomarkers are, so that you don't have to wait for the dis-ease to come for you... This is ultimately how I figured out what was wrong with my failing body and how I finally begin to heal - It's now my mission to share what those lab tests were with you... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 718 to discover the "Big 5" Functional Medicine lab tests anyone can run at home without their doctor signing off on - Enjoy the show! - - -

Sometimes I feel compelled to do a show that on the outside may not seem like it has anything to do with helping people get well, lose weight, or live longer... But after doing some unraveling you begin to understand that the way we frame our lives has everything to do with how we think and what actions we take... And it's those actions that lead to eventual outcomes (good and bad) that become our lives... Therefore, if our goal is to live a life of happiness and no regrets we must change the way that we currently see ourselves and what we believe we can achieve...
