By now you've probably noticed that you can have 2 people that are the same height, but have very different body shapes and sizes... These same two people can literally eat the same amount of calories per day, yet one person gains weight and the other loses weight... How can this be? The discrepancy comes from our unique body types, which allow for many varying attributes - one of which is our metabolism...

Today I want to share with you 5 foods that when eaten immediately begin to slow your metabolism and deteriorate your health... The reason they do this is because they can throw off your hormones such as insulin, cortisol, and estrogen... And when your fat burning and fat storing mechanisms get out of whack you end up gaining weight due to the slowing of your metabolic rate...

Although the phrase, "beauty is created from the inside out" is often uttered softly in the skincare world, not enough real merit is given to that fact... The food we put in our body literally decides the expression of our genes, wellness, weight, aging, and even the quality of our skin (and hair)... So when we choose to put high-nutrient quality, skin-nourishing whole foods in our body we are in turn materializing beautiful glowing skin...

I used to believe that I could pull myself out of a depressed state or "funk" by trying to be more Zen or let things just roll off me as if they didn't matter... After all this is what a lot of the current dogma and books preach, but the problem was that this advice simply didn't pan out in the real world... The reason you can't go from feeling apathetic and overwhelmed to Zen is that there are a few other levels in between that you need to ascend up the ladder on in order to reach a higher state of enlightenment or happiness...

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! Megan: Hello! absolutely love your podcast and have the highest respect for you and what you do! That being said, I need your help! I am having the hardest time losing weight! I have a functional medicine doctor that has run many blood labs along with a Nureval test and long story short, the highlights of all my labs were... *a normal functioning thyroid *a healthy gut with no markers for yeast or bacteria, *low progesterone (2.8 on day 19 of my cycle), *high need for vitamins B6, 7, 9 and 12, *high need for vitamin C *high need for alpha lipoic acid, *high need for vitamin D *low glutathione Is all of this what is keeping me from losing weight? I can't understand how I can have a healthy thyroid, eat a healthy diet high in vegetables and yet I am still not able to lose weight. How do you naturally boost pr

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: Tyler: Hi Stephen, I am an avid listener of your podcast and I’m pretty sure I have listened to almost every single one of your episodes over the last 14 months. I have learned more from you than I have in all four years of my undergrad. I am currently a first-year naturopathic medical students and hope to follow in your footsteps as a naturopathic and functional medicine practitioner. My question for you is dealing with a chronic eczema-like skin condition that has been going on for about two months. I developed this towards the end of a one month long vacation in Europe during the month of August. I am a very health-conscious individual and follow a predominately vegan lifestyle that includes some cold water oily fish and pastured eggs and avoid dairy, wheat, and refined sugar. I have been following your Dr

By now, we all know that most of the beverages we consume should come from pure clean water, but sometimes that can get a little monotonous and boring... When that happens it's important to understand that there are equally hydrating and healthy options... By understanding what else is available and when it's best to drink those, you'll be able to stay on track with your health and body transformation goals while satisfying your taste buds...

When it comes to pre and post workout nutrition there is definitely not a one-size fits all approach... Things like waiting 1 hour to eat, or eating immediately after a workout to "seize the window" are contradicting statements that are often touted as absolutes, but nothing could be further from the truth... The science lies in a customized approach to fit one's individual goals of whether you're looking to mainly lose weight (fat) or gain weight (muscle)...

Today, I get the opportunity to share with you an interview I did just about a week ago where I got "put under the lights" by one of the top podcasts in business & entrepreneurship... I was asked to explain why I don't believe in "disease" as we currently know it and to share my philosophy on how to get well, lose weight, and feel alive again! It was a lot of fun and we got to go deep on some topics I haven't explored in this fashion on my podcast, which is why I'm looking forward to sharing this particular interview with you...

Nutrition is one of those topics that can get so specific and tedious that it often holds people back from doing what really matters the most... Essentially, you can make tracking calories, macros, micros, meal timing, etc. your entire day, or you can choose to live and eat simply (and practically)... I understand that my private clients our community members have no interest in making nutrition more complicated than it has to be, but they still want the benefits of looking and feeling great that come along with eating properly... That's why on today's #CabralConcept 648 I'm going to detail my top 10 rules on eating well, so that you can make your meal planning a part of your life, but not your whole life - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/648 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral  

I’ve made the analogy before that I’d rather fail 5 out of 10 times and be able to recalibrate than wait for the perfect moment and hope I succeed right of the gate... However, the popular schooling over the last 50 years had been that you should do everything in your power not to fail - We’re told as children and students to do all we can avoid failure at all costs... Not only does this crush our psyche, but it leaves us living in mediocrity while we never really go for our dreams and at the same time living in regret...

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! Rebecca: Hi Dr. Cabral, I am in the middle of doing the 21 day detox. After the first week of the detox, my menstrual period came and it was a week earlier than I was expecting it! My periods are usually pretty predictable - every 28-30 days. Can you explain why this happened during the detox? Thanks! Lindsey: What is your opinion on ingesting food grade Diatomaceous Earth for health benefits, such as improved hair skin and nails due to the high silica content, removal of parasites etc. thankyou! Priscilla: Hi Dr. Cabral, When my son was 3 1/2 (about two years ago), his eye started to turn in. At first it only happened every few days, then it was constant. We saw many different doctors with different opinions and finally found a functional medicine doctor/chiropractor. He put us on a plant based, gluten fre

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: Irene: Hi Dr. Cabral, about 10 years ago, I was diagnosed with lymphedema. The area associated with it is my left ankle. It stays swollen 24/7. Most of the time it isn’t painful, but it looks horrible. It looks like an elephant’s leg. I have these chamber type contraptions that zip onto my legs from toe to groin. A machine then inflates the chambers in order to compress my legs from toe to groin. I’m supposed to “pump” my legs twice a day. I’m not faithful at doing this, but even when I am for a few weeks at a time, I don’t see much of a difference. The same left leg also has about ten areas that have spidery looking veins from my ankle to my knee. Are the two possibly related? Is there a cure for my lymphedema? I’m a committed listener to your podcasts and I appreciate your commitment to helping others get we

Although I believe in all forms of medicine it's becoming increasingly difficult to get behind conventional medicine after the latest news of bribes, deceit, and manipulation... I'm also finding it equally as difficult to support fast food "restaurants" even if they are trying to provide a lower cost option due to their blatant deception of what they're hiding in their "food"...

While it's hard to draw straws on the best exercises for fat burning, I did want to share with you a few that stand out... On today's show I'll give specific examples of movements that cause the body more "stress" and as a results will provide far greater fat burning effects... These effects are also not just a temporary uptick in calorie burning - They actually boost your metabolism for up to 36 hours after your workout!

Rather than pretend that it's not harder for women to burn body fat at the same rate as men I'd rather share with you the reasons why that is... I figure that if you understand why men lose fat easier than women you can then use these "bio-hacks" to your advantage and try to ramp up your own natural fat burning systems...

Believe it or not, there actually is a hierarchy of nutritional supplements... Superfoods, herbs, and tinctures all fall into the healing category of nice to have, but they do not necessarily meet your body's base-level nutrient requirements... You see, the body actually needs a very specific set of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and other cofactors necessary to carry on its daily processes... The interesting thing is that these requirements from a food or nutritional supplement standpoint can change with each season... And, on today's #CabralConcept 641 I want to share with you the winter supplement you can't live without - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/641 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral  

To quote Jim Rohn, "Too many of us walk down to the ocean with a teaspoon instead of a bucket..." Many of you already understand that you deserve more out of life and your goals have largely been left unmet... And when hopes, dreams, and goals remain unanswered we are left with a low-level sense of despair, discouragement, and anxiety... So although I agree that goal setting is important, what's been overlooked is how we go about the actual act of goal achievement...

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! Amanda: Hey Doc, Thanks for all your amazing information. You continue to help me guide my clients to the highest form of health. I have a client with quite a great number of food sensitivities. My question is with removal of heavy metals, balancing of the microbiome & healing and sealing of the gut wall is it possible to restore my clients gut health to the point where he is no longer sensitive to so many foods? Thanks!  Jenn: Hi Stephen, First of all I just want to tell toy how much I LOVE your podcasts! They are my listening choice when I am out walking, hey... why not kill two birds with one stone?

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! Melissa: Hi Dr. Cabral - my question is this: I am currently expecting my first baby (early December). I am choosing to have a natural birth at a birthing center and am hoping that you can steer me in the right direction for postpartum recovery. Some background: After college I didn't have a period for 5+ years. When I got married in 2013 I realized that I needed to address my lack of a cycle if I wanted to start a family someday. My gynecologist told me 'don't worry we'll deal with it when you want to get pregnant' (as in, we'll put you on clomid). Well, I didn't want that. I knew I needed to get my system balanced to avoid more long term problems. I did some testing through a functional medicine doctor, and along with a supplement protocol and some lifestyle changes I was able to balance everything out, get my cycle regulated and ultim
