677: The "Protein Shake Diet" in The News (WW)
13/12/2017 Duration: 32minIt finally looks like conventional medicine has seen the light when it comes to using "protein shakes," as a healthy part of a daily diet... It may have taken a few decades of consistent research for them to come around, but the results of adding in a smoothie or protein shake on a daily basis are hard to refute... There are dozens of reasons for this, but one in particular is that a protein shake "crowds out" other poor nutritional choices while fortifying your body with the vitamins, minerals, and amino acids it needs to rebuild... However, not all protein sources are created equal and on today's #CabralConcept 677 I'll share with you all the details of the "Protein Shake Diet" and what you should watch out for - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/677 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

11/12/2017 Duration: 24minThe dictionary defines being in a "funk" as a state of depression or trying to avoid a task or thing out of fear...

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! Ellie: I am 20 years old and am very active. I’m wondering if I will lose muscle from fasted cardio? I lift quite a bit and am trying to lean out but not lose muscular progress. I do intermittent fasting and have been doing fasted cardio about 3 days per week. Will this diminish my muscles? Also, is fasted lifting okay to do? Thanks so much! Rachel: Hello Thank you for your advice! My question is what is the exact brand of the All-in-one greens drink? Where can I buy it? I have terrible digestive issues, would like to try it but am a bit apprehensive. Thank you! Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral, I am a 34yo female and I recently heard one of your podcasts on what an ideal TSH test result should look like.

I have suffered from constipation since I was little (im 32), I feel like I am constantly bloated - no matter how clean I eat, sometimes only a little, sometimes painfully. I'm pretty sure I retain water and/or I am inflamed. I have a thic

669: The Missing Brain Chemical That Boosts Motivation, Drive, Focus & Feeling Alive! (TWT)
05/12/2017 Duration: 31minToo often we're just labeled by our doctors, society, or the media as being depressed, anxious, apathetic, ADD, or exhibiting "addictive behaviors...

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! Megan: Hi Dr Cabral, as always, thank you so much for taking the time to answer my question. I wrote in a few weeks back about my 10 year old son and how we healed his leaky gut which in turn eleviated the eye tics he was having. His most recent Nutreval showed the yeast was elevating some again. We are back on the biociden and the biofilm buster. When you answered my first question about why the yeast returned, you explained how we have to get rid of the bad yeast and replace it with the good yeast. Makes total sense. We had stayed away from probiotics that have saccharomyces in them because it always caused his symptoms to flare. At first I thought the flare was because yeast was his highest sensitivity in the IgG. I realize the sensitivity is to the bad yeast but my question now is could the flare be fro

I have had some minor gut issues and what I feel to be moderately severe acne that I have been unsuccessful in correcting. Could this be the answer? I am also having my amalgams removed by a dentist using Dr. Huggins’ protocol. Any suggestions you may have would be greatly appreciated. Zoe: Hi Dr Cabral, I have listened to your podcast religiously since approx episode 200 - you are my one and only consistent and trusted health guru!
