488: The Difference Between Adrenal vs. Thyroid vs. Weight Loss Testing (WW)
07/06/2017 Duration: 20minIn the very near future you'll hear more about the power of Functional Medicine Testing in the media... Although it's been around for decades, unfortunately many people haven't been exposed to a resource that very well may be the catalyst that helps them achieve their wellness, weight loss, or anti-aging goals... The reason I'm so passionate about this is that Functional Medicine lab testing is what helped me figure out the underlying root causes for why I was feeling sick even when the "best doctors" in the world couldn't tell me what was wrong with me... You see, when you're only looking at your blood work you're never getting the full picture. This is why looking deeper into your gut health, adrenals, thyroid, hormones, and other systems of the body is so important... So on today's #CabralConcept 488, I'm going to explain 3 popular Functional Medicine lab tests, what they are, what they test for, and why one of them may just be what you're looking for - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabra

487: The Delusion of Disease (TWT)
06/06/2017 Duration: 21minSome people are desperately seeking medical help trying to figure out what is wrong with them... The problem is that they are looking to be told they have some name of a "disease" that they can then hang their hat on and finally feel like their pain and suffering is justified... Although I've been through this myself and I truly understand this longing for an answer, the problem is that being diagnosed with a disease is one of the worst things that can happen to you... The reason I say this is due to the fact that you will then be medicated and most likely given no alternative to ever coming off those drugs - You'll be sentenced to a life of "disease." Tune into today's controversial #CabralConcept 487 for a look into this dilemma and how to overcome "the delusion of disease" while finding true long-term relief for your health issues - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/487 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

04/06/2017 Duration: 37minThank you for joining us for Day 2 of our weekend community Q&A! We have 7 more excellent questions to answer and so let's get right into them! Anon: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thanks so much for all the time you take to help educate all the listeners, you have made an amazing impact on my life. My questions are, I know I clearly have a fungal and possible candida overgrowth and have for several years but just was left with no answers as to why or how to fix them. I have had toe fungus for several years off and on and couldn't understand or get it to go away permenanty. I would on occasion get a good fresh nail to grow in on my big toe right foot and then a few months later find it sore and overcome again by fungus! Anyway, I know I need to do the Candida Protocol but I am currently nursing my 11 month old son. I would like to start this asap but I fear to do anything while I'm nursing, should I wait until I'm finished or would it be safe to start? My other question is, I do have saline breast implants and will be ge

03/06/2017 Duration: 28minWelcome back to the Cabral HouseCall! Today is day 1 of our community Q&A and I'm excited to be answering these specific questions: Jen: Hi Dr. Cabral, Your weekend podcasts when you answer listener questions are quickly becoming some of my favorites. I'm learning answers to all sorts of questions I didn't even know I had! And I really like how you reference back to older podcasts for more information. Needless to say, I think your podcast is great! Do you have any suggestions for a natural way to cure razor burn/shave rash? I seem to perpetually get it around my bikini area and occasionally in two small spots in my armpits, same spot under each arm. I've tried using every type of shave lotion/gel I know to exist, from natural ones at my local health food stores, to the chemically ones found at the big box stores, without much luck. I read online that coconut oil can help (it's like a go-to cure-all for just about everything) but it didn't do anything for me other than make that area of my body greasy. An

482: The Best & Worst Times to Stretch (TT)
01/06/2017 Duration: 16minWe've been told for decades that the way to become more flexible and prevent injuries is to stretch...

481: Shrink Your Stomach with These Food Combining Principles (WW)
31/05/2017 Duration: 20minTransforming your body has so much more to do with how and what you eat, than just counting calories alone... The reason for this is that not all foods are created equal and to make things more complicated some foods don't combine well together... And, if those poor food combinations are eaten at the same meal it can cause bloating, toxic build up, weight gain, inflammation, and disease... But of course, there is an easier way and on today's #CabralConcept 481 I'll share with you the ancient food combining principles in order to simplify your meals and shrink your stomach at the same time - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/481 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

472: You Have to Believe (MM)
22/05/2017 Duration: 15minIt's great to have goals and it's great to want to achieve something that you've never done before, but there's a reason why most people (greater than 9 out of 10) never achieve their goals... The reason for this is that they lack a certain system of moving them forward into their "goal achievement" state... This goes beyond developing a plan and taking action. It's a prerequisite for anyone trying something new for the very first time...

I'm looking forward to answering our community's questions and we have some amazing ones today, so let's get started! Rebekah: Hi doc! Is it scientifically to proved that the soles of your feet can absorb particularly oils for medicinal benefits. Someone told me that if I rubbed cilantro essential oil on my soles I could get the detoxifying effects of the cilantro just by my feet absorbing it. Also, I'd love to know your opinion or vaccines if you don't already have a podcast of them. Thanks for all you do, you have a big heart! Jennifer: Hello Doctor! If you have SIBO AND candida AND PARASITES what should you do first? Also, I heard you say no garlic for sibo but garlic is in all the intestinal parasite methods/supplements and it supposed to be great at killing them..... Lastly is it smart to take glutamine at night before bed daily as part of maintenance? I do feel gassy when I take garlic, but I will do anything to get rid of the parasite
