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

In our 24/7/365 hustle society we may have lost sight of the fact that being busy does not mean you're accomplishing anything... To me, one of the worst things I believe you could do is to "work hard" and not get any results to show for it... This is what truly leads to frustration and eventually to giving up on your goals... But it doesn't have to be that way, and on today's #CabralConcept 577 I want to share with you why you may not be making (as much) progress as you'd like - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/577 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

Welcome back to day 2 of our weekend Cabral HouseCalls! I'm really looking forward to doing my best to answer your questions today that have been coming in over the past few weeks, so let's get started! Adalyn: Hi Dr Cabral, I am so grateful for your podcast and have to admit I'm completely addicted. I love all the knowledge and especially the science behind it. I am a pitta body type and I'm lectin sensitive. I have plateaued in my weight loss. I have bloating, acne around my nose and chin, I'm extremely fatigued, brain fog, and I think I deal with some poor circulation and inflammation as my limbs go numb easily and my knees ache a lot. I hike 3-5 days a week and do weight training 2-3 days a week. I've had some Mercury fillings removed in the last year. I wondered if you had any ideas what might be going on and what I can do to heal my body? Thank you so much!! Cynthia: hi Stephen, You're a true blessing, thank you for all you do. My almost fifteen year old (125 lb) has had IB for 5 years, often worse in t

I hope you had a fantastic last week and now it's that time again where we get to check in with the community and see what questions we have for this weekend! Here are today's Q&A's:  Camille: Hi Dr. Cabral, In my house, you are known as "Cabral"...I talk about you and quote you SO much, we've just shortened it to Cabral...anyway, I use your All in One Daily shake and daily fruits & vegetable powder in the smoothies I make every singe day for my husband and I. I also take your activated B everyday. I have completed one of your 7 day detox programs with huge success. Swear by those for sure. My question today is: What do you think about collagen powder or products? I am 58 yrs old and wonder if I need to use this or if there is really any benefit. If you do recommend them, what is a good one to use? I follow your clean eating menu from the detox and exercise about 20 minutes 6 days a week. Thank you in advance. Your so kind to share your wisdom in so many ways. Camille   Cindy: Hello there Stephen Cabr

I'll be the first one to tell you that I do not promote or recommend weight loss supplements... I prefer people to boost their metabolism through sustainable approaches using nutrition, exercise, and other healthy lifestyle factors... However, since I get asked quite often if there are any supplements that have been proven to help lose weight, I did want to share the ones with actual research behind them... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 574 for an unbiased breakdown on which weight loss supplements actually work - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/574 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

Too many people believe that in order to get great results you need to be training 6-7x a week... This is so far from the truth it's not even funny, and unfortunately, it prevents a lot of people from getting started in the first place... The media perpetuates the idea that our workouts should be long and grueling, but the research simply doesn't back this up... If anything, less can often be more and on today's podcast I want to share with you why this is the case - Especially for those just getting back into a routine...

After almost 20 years in the health & fitness industry I've noticed 3 specific points in the year that are the most effective times to recommit to your goals... These are the times where you'll have the greatest chance of success and the longest stretches of uninterrupted periods to really dive into a healthy nutrition and exercise plan... Likewise, I've also seen 3 big dips during the course of a calendar year where we need to prepare ourselves to expect more obstacles to come up... It's during these times that we may look to just "ride the wave" and maintain our results rather than always pushing for more... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 572 to discover these patterns and how you can use them to your advantage to properly recommit yourself to your body transformation goals - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/572 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral  

I'm sure even going back just 100 years ago people would be laughing at us talking about taking a break from eating! The truth is that we have so much food abundance (in many countries) that we actually have to be convinced it's NOT a good thing to always be eating - even healthy food... The reason for this is that we as humans are hard-wired to eat, gain weight, and protect our bodies for survival... The problem is that nature didn't really account for refrigeration and processed foods, which allow us to have near unlimited access to food 24/7/365... Therefore, it is vitally important we re-learn diurnal eating cycles in order to improve our health, transform our bodies, and live longer! But, like with anything, intermittent fasting can be done the right way, or the wrong way depending on your needs... That's why on today's #CabralConcept 571 I want to teach you the 7 most common intermittent fasting mistakes - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/571 - - - Get Your Ques

Growing up we're always being shielded from hardships... Our parents, community, and everyone that cares for us tries to the best of their ability to protect us and make our life as comfortable as possible... Eventually this leads to the mindset that we must avoid as many challenging situations as possible - After all, we've been taught that the goal is to remain in our "safe zone." The problem is that playing it safe can often backfire and what we're left with is a life that is anything but happy or fulfilled...

Thank you for tuning back into our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend - We've got some great Q&A's today. Here are today's community questions: Susie: Hi Dr. Cabral, I am pregnant and am planning on breastfeeding my baby. A friend of mine however started to breastfeed but had to stop after her baby developed an allergy to her milk.... I read the ingredients list for the crazy expensive can of formula she is using and saw some ingredients that I didn't really like such as palm kernel oil etc... It was a major brand that everyone would know, but it was far more expensive than the regular formula because apparently it is their "allergy" or "medical" formula. What would your suggestion be for a brand of formula if a mother has to use it (or chooses to use it) over breast milk. I cannot thank you enough for all that you do. Susie Lubos: Dr. Cabral. Not sure if this is even a good question, but let me try… (BTW, thank you for answering my question about 23&me). I have heard you say several times – let’s st

Welcome to our first Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! Here are today's community questions: Jen: Hi Dr. Cabral I've heard you talk a little about body types and wondered how much this affects what each type eats and how they are supposed to exercise. Could you give a brief overview of each of those different body types (Ectomorph, Mesomorph, Endomorph) and how to tell which one I might be as well as the best exercise and foods for each type? Also, How does your blood type affect the way you breakdown food and should eat? Thanks - Jen   Josie: Hi Doc, I bought the parasite and candida cleanse, but decided to be safe and do the h. Pylori treatment first. My questions are: Should I follow the healthy gut guide (for the candida) for the entire cleanse? Also, I'm noticing that I'm having bloating after eating meats (specifically fish and eggs). You mentioned Great Lakes collagen protein powder and I'm wondering if I can use it during these cleanses.   Steph B: Hello Doctor! Thank you so much for EVERYTHING you do!

All of us are use to celebrating our birthday every year and getting one year old (chronologically), but... Your chronological age can often be drastically different than your biological age... What this means is that regardless of the actual number of birthday's you've celebrated, the inside of your body may be aging at a faster (or slower) rate... The goal, of course, is to slow down the aging process as much as possible, so that age truly does become "just a number." And by slowing the aging process you will get to enjoy more energy, stamina, better moods, vibrant hair/skin/nails, and over-all a greater sense of well-being...

When I went gluten-free 20 years ago the food selection was a lot different... There wasn't the level of choice that we now see in the grocery food store... You can now purchase everything from breads, to muffins, to cookies in gluten-free varieties... But the question then becomes, are these options better than those containing wheat or gluten?

About 20 years ago I suffered from one of the worst cases of "adrenal chronic fatigue" you could have... I was diagnosed with Addison's Disease and given no hope for recovery - except to continue to take a drug based cortisol for the rest of my life... I decided that I didn't want to live this way and as a result I went searching for answers... What I discovered along the way changed my life, led to my complete recovery, and to a life I could have only dreamed about... Now, I've made it my mission to share the proven wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging strategies with you, so that you too no longer have to suffer...

In 1938 the sophomore class at Harvard University entered into a study that would last until present day... Little did any of the participants know it would have such an enormous impact on the field of health and psychology that it would span 4 generations of research directors in order to study the results... The research also started to transition away from the physical health of the classmates and morph into an exposé on one the most profound studies on happiness ever recorded...

Welcome to our first Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! We're getting ready to answer some of our community's amazing questions on wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging. I'm looking forward to sharing those answers with you so let's get started! Scott: Hi Dr. Cabral - I recently accompanied my fiance on her visit to the Wellness Institute. I must say I'm thoroughly impressed with the whole experience, especially with the amount of time and effort you put into each appointment/consultation. My fiance has me hooked on the podcasts! Thank you very much for the knowledge you share with us. With that said, I have some questions of my own, but first, just a little background. I'm a 30 year old male who played at a very high level of soccer up until graduating from school, and since then, still play quite competitively. I've always been prone to injuries and most recently I've been diagnosed with bulging discs in my lower back (L5) as well as in my C3/C4, C4/C5 and stenosis in my C5/C6 - quite a mess right now. Long s

Welcome back to our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend and I hope you were able to tune into yesterday's 6 community questions! We had a great Q&A session and I'm looking forward to sharing more with you today with these brand new questions: Mariellen: Dr Cabral, you have always helped me in finding answers to my health issues and I am on a journey to getting better. I am not writing in for myself. I have a friend who for years has had what I would say are seizures. She has crashed her car before, been on vacation far from home and had this happen. There seems to be no common factor in these episodes. When she was on vacation she had a wild dream about a ton of spiders and woke up and her fiancé found her seizing and she always throws up after and sometimes pees herself as well. Out to dinner, she became unconscious, no seizing (which she said sometimes happens) and this was the only event where this has happened where she has had alcohol in her system but she literally became limp and was completely out

One of the most popular questions I get is how (and why!) did I read so many books in such a short period of time? I always tell people that I wasn't born with any special speed reading ability and when I started out, I was actually a 3-page per minute (or slower) reader... What happened was that I learned a few techniques that allowed me to cut my reading time by more than half, and then again by another half when I became more skilled... This then allowed me to read thousands of books and discover the knowledge I needed to get well, and then share it with others... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 560 for all the details on how you can learn to "speed read" really valuable books like the Definitive Guide to Cancer - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/560 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral  

My least favorite form of measuring a client's progress is by weighing them in on a daily basis... Many people have a fear of the scale and rightly so... Sometimes you'll feel like you're doing everything right, yet the number isn't budging in the direction as much as you'd like... The good news is that if you dislike doing weigh-ins there are actually better measurements for tracking your results... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 559 for all the details and on how to get better results by skipping the scale and doing this instead - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/559 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral  

Unfortunately in our Western-based, conventional medicine society we've grown up thinking that our health and wellness is largely determined by our genetics... And we've also been led to believe that our mental health is a consequence of our genes and upbringing... The truth, though, is so far removed from that ideological worldview that it seems insane most doctors still subscribe to it... We know that certain lifestyle factors cause sickness, disease, weight gain, and depression, yet we tend to ignore them because "a pill" is always ready to be prescribed... As I said, it's unfortunate, but the good news is that you don't have to be a victim any longer - Tune into today's #CabralConcept 558 to discover "10 Things That Will Make You Sick, Fat & Depressed" - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/558 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral
