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

The #FridayReview is here and I've got some fantastic recommendations and reviews from this past week on all things wellness, weight loss & anti-aging! The first item I want to share with you is my protocol for helping both children and adults with earaches, sinus congestion, sore throats, and much more... Second, there's a fun KickStarter campaign going on right now that is offering a brand new machine (it's like a cross between a blender & food processor) to make homemade nut milk and nut butter... And finally, I've got a brand new "obscure" wellness book from my last trip to Hawaii that talks about ancient and modern cures using plants & herbal medicine...

It's easy for all of us to hop on the band wagon and ride along with the current dogma of the day, but the problem is that the whole truth usually gets left behind... This is clearly evident when Interval Training became the dominant form of exercise (with good reason) for body transformation and overall health... The issue is that what often happens in our "all-in society" is that we bash and slander anything that doesn't fit in this box... That's why on today's #CabralConcept 419 I want to share the "Surprising Benefits of Aerobic Exercise" and why you just may want to add some to your current program - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/419 - - - Get your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

One of the biggest misconceptions in nutrition and natural health is how to heal the gut using carbohydrates... The old way used to recommend cutting out all fruits, starches, grains, and most vegetables... However, modern science (as well as ancient Ayurvedic wisdom) has revealed that only certain types of carbs, sugars, and fibers need to be omitted for a short period of time... Following this type of plan, as well as adding back in fiber to your daily diet will ensure that your diverse gut microbiome can thrive for years to come...

Losing sight of what matters most to you in life can happen for 2 main reasons... The first one is that you're so caught up in your day-to-day activities, stresses, and ongoings that by the time you stop to breathe it's already time to go to bed... The second reason is that when we're actually going after our goals and what we truly desire in life we get lost in a sea of minutia that has very little bearing on what will move us forward... The way to break the cycle is to rewire our mind and conditioning and thought process to stop focusing on the small stuff...

We're back with our 2nd Cabral #HouseCall of the weekend and I'm happy to have you back with us! Here are today's community questions: Melissa: Dr. Cabral, I enjoy listening to your podcast and thank you for all of the wonderful information that you provide. After having my third baby three years ago via c-section, I have had significant pain in my stomach after eating meals. This began occurring 6 weeks post-delivery and does not seem to be related to any specific food. It typically occurs within 30 minutes after a meal and can last for hours. I am extremely bloated, and am 40 pounds overweight even though I eat a very healthy diet (around 1200-1400 calories daily of fresh produce) and exercise daily. I have had a multitude of tests - gallbladder, ultrasounds of liver, blood tests, colonoscopy, endoscopy, food allergy tests - all of which come back normal, with my only diagnosis as constipation. After eliminating dairy and added sugars and taking Mirilax daily, my symptoms resolved. I was even able to eat a

Hello and thank you for tuning into this weekend's #HouseCall Q & A show! Here are today's amazing community questions! Brittany: Hi Dr. Cabral! I am getting ready to start your 7 day Dr. Cabral Detox and I was wondering: Do the limited calories on days 1 and 2 of the detox (200 calories each day) still allow for autophagy? I've read that you have to eliminate calories entirely for a period of time for autophagy to engage; is this true? I am just wondering if this detox can also serve as an intermittent fast, or if I need to incorporate a water only fast separately from the detox at a later date for maximum health results long term. Many thanks! - Brittany   Randa: Hello Was wondering if you thought new chapter vitamins are good quality in your opinion. Also could you tell me what macro breakdown you suggest to someone who wants to maintain there weight and what macro breakdown (if different) for someone who has 20 pounds to lose. Thanks -love your podcast   Michele L: Hi Dr. Cabral, Hope you are well. I

Back on episode 354 I brought you the "Top 15 Nutritional Supplements" Prescribed by Functional Medicine Doctors and health practitioners... It was one of our most popular shows and although I agree with the vast majority of those supplements and use them all in my practice, I did feel it was missing something... Many of those products are great to relieve symptoms, but I'm more interested in healing at a deeper level, which is why today I want to share with you a few nutritional supplements you can use daily to rebalance your body for optimal health & well-being! Tune into today's #CabralConcept #413 for my Top 10 Supplements that I use in my Naturopathic & Functional Medicine practice - Enjoy the show!  - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/413 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral  

Right now I want to share with you the massive benefits you get from making exercise a part of your weekly routine... Remember, just like good nutrition the results you get are cumulative and are best seen overtime. Now I know that you want those same results yesterday, but at the same time I'd prefer you keep them for life ; ) Plus, many of these benefits carry over to improving your mood, hormones, brain, function and other internal mechanisms you can't physically see a change in... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 412 as I share the 7 benefits to exercise other than looking good - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/412 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral  

Low carb diets work. There's no doubt about that and the research shows that it helps with inflammation, regulating blood sugar, lowering insulin, and losing weight... What you don't hear though is that low carb diets don't work forever... And that's the issue. Most diets will work in the short-term, but what you really need to be successful and to skip the inevitable frustration is a long-term plan... So while going low-carb for up to 12 weeks can work, you need to know what to do after that in order to keep your thyroid, adrenals, mood, energy, and metabolism strong after that point... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 411 for all the details on how to transition off of low carb diets for long term health & body transformation goals - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/411 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral  

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

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's easy to confuse the energy surge that comes along with caffeine consumption as something that's beneficial or good for us...

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...
