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

Some 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  

Sometimes the thought of running away from it all is very enticing... It's caused many a person to daydream about moving to a quiet island and living out the rest of their days in a state of perpetual relaxation...

Thank 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

Welcome 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

We've been told for decades that the way to become more flexible and prevent injuries is to stretch... However, new data has repeatedly shown that stretching for the sake of stretching does not improve flexibility, nor does it prevent injuries... It turns out, though, there is a specific way and time to stretch that does work and it can be done in as little as 30-90 seconds...

Transforming 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  

Your liver is "hands down" the most important organ in your body... If it starts to weaken even just a little, every other organ has to work much harder and your blood begins to become a toxic cesspool leading to headaches, fatigue, skin issues, aging, and disease... This is why it's so important to be working on strengthening your liver with whole foods on a daily basis... A few weeks ago I shared many foods on how to detox your liver, and today on the #CabralConcept 480 I want to provide you with the top 9 (vegan) foods to fix, heal, and optimize your liver - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/480 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral  

I doesn't matter who you are, every one at some point or another has suffered pain and hardship in their life...

It's at these times when we need to assess what we are doing to pull ourselves out of this challenging position... On today's #CabralConcept 479 I will help you take some "inventory" on your life and see what you may be missing that others are using right now to become more successful and happier than ever...

We've got more amazing questions from our community and I'm looking forward to answering those right now on today's show: Jim: I work in the nuclear power industry. I am subjected to random drug testing. Would CBD oil or any of your other supplements test positive? My livelihood has been very good to me and I would not want to loose my job over these supplements. I also have had great success with the ketogenic diet. I lost 60 Pounds and have kept it off for about 1.5 years. I am vertically pain free most of the time. When I work out or do physical work I recover very quickly..no pain.

Lisa: Hi Dr. Cabral, thank you again for always answering my questions on your podcast! I have 2 questions.... Why does my 10 yr old daughter have the worst smelling urine? She is GF/DF/Egg free for 1 yr. Diet has helped so much with her Tourettes/OCD, but she has had this bad smelling urine since 2 yrs old. It is not dehydration, cuz she only drinks water all day long. My second question is, why does my daughter see spots of colors and ringing in her ears? This is causing anxiety in her when it happens. Thank you again for everything! -Lisa Chris: Good morning doctor Cabral. My name is Chris a Fitness professional for the last 16 years.

We all know that exercising is good for our health, but sometimes a workout can leave you sore and dragging the next day...

Whether you're suffering from a low metabolism, brain fog, poor mood, or you've been diagnosed with hypothyroid or Hashimoto's, today's show is for you! By popular request, I've been asked to share what I use in my practice to help people heal their thyroid disorders naturally... The interesting thing about this topic is that the thyroid (and your metabolism) needs very specific nutrients in order to function properly. Without these raw materials, you really can't expect your thyroid to work very well...

Every form of medicine believes it is the best and only form of health care to use in world... Each one cites examples of how it has helped millions of people while excluding the virtues of all the others... What I've learned from studying and interning in clinics and hospitals all over the world is that every form of medicine holds in it the power to heal - the problem is that you need to know which one to use and when...

It'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... On today's #CabralConcept 472 I share how to begin to develop a specific belief state in order to actualize your goals and transform them into reality - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/472 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

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

Crunches are one of the least efficient ways to work your abs... Will they work? Yes, but so does long-distance running for weight loss - However, in those exercises take more time than they're worth...
