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

It seems like we're creating names for as many diseases as there are people on this planet... This is unfortunate because each "disease" is then matched up with a medication. And often times, the medication is for life and the patient is given no hope of recovery... But there is an alternative. That alternative is the belief (and fact) that what we call a chronic health condition is nothing more than a set of symptoms that rise to the surface... In Natural Medicine, we know that the symptoms are not the disease, but represent "dis-ease" within the body. Therefore, the only way to ever fully get well again and reverse any health condition you may suffer from is to find the underlying root causes... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 41o to find the 3 triggers for disease. Once you know those triggers you will then be able to work backwards to finally heal - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/410 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral  

Before you ever get healthy, lose the weight, or enjoy the success in life you've been secretly wishing for, you must begin where every success story has ever started... And that place resides in your mind. You can have the best plan, the greatest guru, or the most caring coach, but it is your belief system that will ultimately carry you through to the finish line... In my practice, I've seen cancer and mystery illness patients be given no hope by conventional medicine only to walk away from their past lives of sickness and disease and enter a life of health and happiness... If you have a goal, or want more for life, I urge you to build the proper foundation for your dreams by learning how to open your mind to a better life - Tune into today's #CabralConcept 409 for the details.

Welcome back to our 2nd Cabral #HouseCall of the weekend! We have 5 more amazing community questions, so let's get right into them: Cassi: Hi Dr. Cabral - thank you so, so much for providing all the knowledge and information you share with is and most of all for free. It is so inspiring to see a person do something for the better of society and not only to make a "quick buck." My question is regarding the book The China Study. I know you reviewed this a long time ago, but can't find which episode and was wondering if you could re-review. I'm currently reading the book and just want to know what you think and if every study in it seems trustworthy, etc. Thank you! Aleks: Hi! I was wondering if you had a good probiotic recommendation on the market? I'm a student and need to be smart about my purchases :) Taylor: Hi Dr. Cabral, I so enjoy your show-it fuels my passion for continuing healing for my body. Through testing it has been shown that my body has the need for Mercury detox, I hve mineral difecency, parasi

Dawn: As a consumer, every podcast I listen to, I get intrigued by another vitamin?  then I think I should add to my diet?  then I don't know if I'm taking too much stuff?  Like, I need more iron, zinc and magnesium.  I'm 47, getting older, skin and hair changing - that freaks me out.  So, I want lots of Biotin, Iron, Zinc - what about fish oil?  What can I do to be looking younger longer or at least try?  I know this is same for so many people - you get caught in all the marketing hype and it plays on your emotions.     Dr. Cara: Hi Dr. Cabral, I wanted to let you know i really appreciate all the continuing education you’re doing for patients and doctors alike. I feel like I learn more from your podcast than I have attending post doctoral seminars! My question is how do you get patients to comply with your protocols? In my practice I seem to have difficulty with patients following the food and supplement recommendations. Any advice would be appreciated and thank you in advance!   Maura: What do you think abo

Every Friday I like to bring you my "best of the week" and review products, research, books, supplements, and foods that I use in my #Boston practice to help people get the results they want... On today's #FridayReview the first item we're going to be talking about is the "Meat Free Monday" philosophy and nutrition tips on learning to be more environmentally and sustainability minded...  Next up, we'll be reviewing a popular book that is currently making a resurgence. It also has a very different outlook than conventional psychotherapy and may just be the mindset you need to achieve all your goals and move forward in life... And last, but not least, I'll be reviewing a plant that is now being used in both natural and allopathic medicine to treat cough and cold symptoms.

For many people after they've been exercising for awhile they seem to get stuck in one style of training... As a result, they miss out on all the benefits offered by using other pieces of fitness equipment that work their muscles in new ways leading to noticeable changes in their physique... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 405 and find out the 5 forgotten pieces of exercise equipment that many people have gotten away from using - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/405 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral  

In order to get well, lose weight, or enjoy increased vitality it's important to master your metabolism... One of the best ways to do that is to prevent snacking or overeating by learning to balance your leptin and ghrelin hormones... It is the delicate balance between these 2 hormones that allows you to feel normal hunger signals, but also turn off excessive food cravings and binge eating... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 404 for all details on how to crush food cravings by balancing leptin & ghrelin hormones - enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/404 - - - http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral  

It's easy to confuse the energy surge that comes along with caffeine consumption as something that's beneficial or good for us... There's no doubt it feels great (for most people) in the short-term, but the long-term effects can wear and tear on your nervous system, adrenals, thyroid, and liver... On today's #CabralConcept 403 I talk about how much caffeine is too much and how and why to wean off caffeine for wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging benefits - Enjoy the show! - - -  Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/403 - - - Get Your Quesrion Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral  

With goals come expectations. But, these expectations may or may not be based in reality... For some reason we've been conditioned in our Western vision of reality that achieving our goals is supposed to be a straight forward shot to success... The problem is that the real world isn't set up this way, and as a result we become frustrated due to an incongruence with our preconceived thoughts... The solution is to realize that true happiness does not in fact lie in the attainment of anything, but rather in the process itself and how we should view that process...

Every few weeks I'll be adding a BONUS REPLAY show from a previous podcast that was voted by our listeners as one of their favorites (by number of downloads)! The bonus replay will never replace a weekend Cabral HouseCall, but is added as an additional podcast... If you've already listened in to this show I highly recommend a 2nd listen to reinforce what you've already learned and possibly even pick up another tip or two you may have missed! Here is today's show: How to Flush Inflammation from Your Body! Most people view inflammation as something bad, but I have a much different view of it… The media has made inflammation out to be the bad guy and something that is supposed to be wiped out through pharmaceutical drugs or nutritional supplements… However, what they haven’t told you is that inflammation is actually a warning sign of some type of tissue trauma that has happened in the body… This means that if you simply try to mask the symptoms of inflammation you are still not treating the hidden root cause of

Thank you for coming back to tune into our 2nd day of the weekend Cabral HouseCalls! We have another amazing 3 questions today and here they are: Chad: Hi Dr. Cabral, You indicated you live in the downtown area of a major city. I do as well. Do you have any issues with nighttime traffic noise? If so, what do you use to mitigate its impact on your sleep? I've tried earplugs and sound machines, but am wondering if you have any better solutions. Cheryl: Hi, Dr. Cabral. First, I'd like to express my gratitude to you for providing such solid and thought-provoking advice! I've learned so much and have made it a practice to listen to your podcast every day. Now, for my question...have you ever heard of a practice called "muscle testing"? My sister-in-law is going to a naturopath who performs this kind of examination in order to tell her which foods she may be sensitive to in addition to supplements he recommends to her. He offers this service in person as well as through Skype. It sounds intriguing but is a totally

Welcome back to the weekend edition of the #CabralConcept where I answer our community's questions! We have bunch of #HouseCalls to get to today and they cover some amazing questions across the board... I can't wait to share those answers with you now! Karen: My mother has had diarrhea for 14 months. She has struggled with this off and on for ten years but this is the worst yet. In the past she has taken antibiotics but it always comes back. She has lost a lot of weight and I believe is nutritionally deficient. She has tried omitting dairy, gluten, eggs, and other food items but nothing seems to make a big difference. Oddly, fresh vegetables seem to make it worse. She takes Ammodium AD every single day to be able to leave the house. Any suggestions?   Michelle: Hello again Dr. Cabral. You keep mentioning your book in your podcasts. Can you give us a date when we might expect to see it and will you be doing a "crowd sourcing" campaign so we can preorder it to help you out? I'm not sure if crowd sourcing is the

Today's #FridayReview is going to be a deep dive into women's health, wellness, anti-aging, and weight loss! This show is by popular request and it uncovers the often overlooked factors on how genetics play into weight maintenance, obesity, auto-immune disease, and the aging process and what you can do to silence those gene expressions... I'm also going to review one of the hottest books out right now on women's health that covers the top 5 factors that steal your youth, cause hormone imbalances, and makes you gain weight...

The #1 excuse for not working out is a "lack of time," but I believe that we all make time for what we see as a priority in our life... And one of the reasons we don't always make time for exercise is because we can find it boring. So, today, what I'd like to do is actually share how we change up our client's workout programs to make them more fun & motivational... Tun into today's #CabralConcept 398 for tips on making your workouts more fun & effective and as a bonus I'm also going to share a kettlebell workout challenge you can do right at home over the next 30 days - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/398 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral  

Right now, "intermittent fasting" has become one of the most popular diet trends in the health & fitness industry... The problem is that it's being marketed as an "all-for-one" approach, which is anything but the truth... Like any diet plan, intermittent fasting has its downsides and by skipping breakfast you may just be doing more harm than good... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 397 for why you may not want to fast until lunch - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/397 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral  

Mushrooms were one of the first forms of "herbal medicine" ever used and to this day are still one of the most researched and prized natural supplements... Literally, the potency of mushrooms, the beta-glucans and other properties they contain are being studied to fight cancer, inflammation, fatigue, blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, and weight gain, as well as for the their longevity nutrients...

Goals are a funny thing. We all have them and we want to strive for more out of life, but we don't always want to do the work required to get there... Part of it is that we can get too comfortable with where we are right now even if it's not a good place. The reason is that it's become routine and although not where we want to be we at least know this familiar ground... And let's face it, to get to that next level in life we're going to have to change. Something needs to be different in order to get a different result... A lot of the time too, many of us know what needs to be done to make that change to get that new result, but we're not always willing to make that trade.

I hope you enjoyed yesterday's 1st edition of the weekend Cabral #HouseCalls! Today, we have 3 more community questions so let's get started: Deborah: Dr. Stephen Cabral, You (and your team) inspire me and thank you for staying inspired so you can continue to give so freely to people. I'm interested in the wholistic functional medicine approach. I want to begin pursuing foundational training to be able to offer care to others in need. I've looked at the RD route but want an education that incorporates prescribing methods of healing found naturally in the earth primarily through nutrition [similar to a naturopathic doctor but I don't want to become a doctor]. Do you know which field(s) of medicine would best help me do that? Side question: I get bruises easily when I bump into things. Do you know a natural remedy to heal bruises effectively? Btw tried your Detox for the first time..twas grand :)   Melissa: Hi Dr. Cabral - first of all thank you so much for everything you do! My question is this: my husband (ag

The weekend Cabral #HouseCalls are back and we have some amazing questions lined up for today and tomorrow! Here is today's community Q&A: Sharlona: I am new to your site and plan and have downloaded the welcome package. I am now trying to access the Functional Medicine Testing and receiving the following message: 404 Error We’re sorry but the page you’re looking for has gone missing… we’ll look for it, but in the mean time please use the search bar above to type in a keyword for what you are looking for. Is there another way I can access this? Thank you for your time. I am very interested in your program.    CC: Hi Stephen, I recently read about Professor Birkmayer NADH and it's effectiveness for energy. I was interested in this for adrenal support (in addition to other herbs I am taking and of course the Cabral detox) but wondered if NADH is really worth the excessively high price point? Massively value your podcasts, learned so much - many thanks!   Anna: Hi Dr Cabral! I am a healthy, 35 year old but r

I hope you've enjoyed a great & productive week and now you're looking forward to the weekend ahead!  On this week's #FridayReview I am bringing some of the latest research on nutritional supplements (Orthomolecular Medicine) and specifically why you need to keep vitamin K in your daily regimen... Next up, I'll be talking about over a dozen benefits of cayenne pepper (some are very surprising) and how you can take it in any one of its 3 forms... And finally, I'll be sharing one of my favorite "old school" books on goal setting and why I believe this book may just be the one you've been looking for - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/392 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral
