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

After hearing a story the other day about how a child at daycare was being given Skittles (candy) as a reward for good behavior, I knew I needed to share this with you... When food is provided as a reward for doing "good work" or behaving in a certain way that the parent/teacher is looking for, it begins hardwire the brain in a way that looks at food now as something beyond just fuel for the body... Food has now become linked with being "good," and "feeling good." This can set children (and adults) up with lifelong emotional and mental struggles with using food as a means to comfort themselves... This reward system concept can actually be applied to anything and does not have to just consist of food as the reward... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 228 as I explain the research behind this psychology, which comes from an amazing book called "Punished by Rewards." I'll also show you how to break the cycle and live a healthier life, both physically and emotionally! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/228

I know you've been told over and over that to lose weight, get well, end the joint pain, improve your mood, and sleep better that you must reduce inflammation... I don't deny that decreasing inflammation will help every area of your body and health, but I do want to let you know reducing inflammation is not the answer in the long-run... You see, inflammation is still just a symptom. That means it is being caused by something else. Which means, there is an underlying root cause to why that inflammation is present in your body... Listen in on today's #CabralConcept 227 as I explain how to get at the underlying imbalances that are keeping you from achieving your body transformation and wellness goals! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/227 - - - Get Your Questions Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral  

Have you ever noticed that the people that do the most criticizing and judging are typically the unhappiest with there own life? Over the years I've come to see that placing judgment on others actually hurts you more than it does the other person. The reason for this is that when you are always living in a world of judgment, you become a victim of it yourself in your own mind… Tune into today's #CabralConcept 226 where I discuss why people can be so critical of others and how to escape this vicious cycle so that you can begin living a life of peace of mind and prosperity! - - -  Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/226 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral  

We're back with our last Cabral #HouseCall of the weekend, so let's get started with this week's final questions! Reagan: What "all in one powder" do you recommend? 2. Peanut butter ... Good or bad for you? 3. Any suggestions for dealing with a hormonal imbalance Chloe: What is your take on Atrantil for sibo? And other than using L-Glutamine how would you cure a leaky gut? Terry: In episodes 185 and 218 you make it clear that you are against dairy and if we want to have milk make sure it is from grass feed cows.

I'm back with another #FridayReview and excited to bring you these 4 items I use everyday in my #Boston practice to help people get well, lose weight, and feel great! Today, I'll be reviewing a book that shows you color photos of common (and not so common) skin issues that you may be suffering from. It's a great book to have on hand if you have kids or suffer from skin issues... Next, I'll be covering some research showing how anger and laughter actually change your immune response and are being used to help people recover from disease and cancer... Plus, I'm going to share with you the popular anti-parasite herbal supplement we use to clean out your gut if you suspect you may have parasites, and I'll be giving you my pick for the easiest and healthiest solutions for natural deodorants (and I've tried them all!)

Many people don't know what a rebounder is until I mention it's other name that you're most likely more familiar with… When most of us were kids we called it a trampoline and used to jump up-and-down on it and have some fun! Well did you know it's actually used today as a great way to get a workout in, and also improve your health and wellness?   Believe it or not, it's one of the very best ways to move your lymphatic system, improve your cardiovascular health, and even lose weight! Check out today's #CabralConcept where I explain all the details and outline 33 reasons you should be using a #rebounder at least once a week! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/222 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral    

Getting rid of cellulite takes a multi-pronged approach. You must both address the elimination of excess body fat, and then the reshaping of the "septae" holding the fat cells in place... This isn't as hard as it seems and it's something we help women with every week in our Boston practice. The first step is an elimination diet along with healthy detoxification protocols to begin eliminating excess toxic water weight and fat stores... Next, we "unclog" the lymphatic system and begin to remove these built up toxins and oxidized fat. We also add in some dry brushing and rebounding for fun (and it works great!)

There's really no longer a question of do you need to detox, so today I want to teach you why it's so important and how to get the most out of it... With close to 100,000 man-made, synthetic chemicals in the environment escaping toxins in 2016 is just out of the question. Therefore, it's imperative that we understand how our body detoxifies these chemicals and what it needs to support this process...

What would you regret not accomplishing in your life? That's the first place I start when trying to help people assess what's most important to them and what they should set as goals... Too much of the time we expend our time and energy trying to work on projects or accomplish things that we think we should do, or we feel should be important to us... In the end this takes precious time away from accomplishing what we really do desire deep down inside... Listen in to today's #CabralConcept 219 as I detail how to decide on what's most important to you and how to design a plan to accomplish those goals.

I believe you can still get great weight loss results without sacrificing your long-term metabolism or health... The reason I say that is that I see too many people jumping from diet plan to diet plan without a clear vision in mind for how they're planning on keeping the weight off... Any fad diet can get you results in the short-term, but how do you make it sustainable? What you need is a plan from the start of how you'll lose the weight healthily and then keep it off for life...

One of the most overlooked causes of weight gain and wellness issues is toxic water weight... Toxic water weight is what I refer to as the end product of what your body does to compensate for toxins in the blood that the liver can't keep up with detoxifying... With over 77,000 man-made chemicals in the environment your body can get overwhelmed and as a result toxins are forced into your adipose tissue (fat cells) which cause those cells to swell... Although this keeps your blood cleaner by pushing the toxins into your fat, it does cause a swelling of your cells, which makes you look and feel bloated, puffy, and swollen... It's also why when I have people in my private practice go through my Dr. Cabral Detox system they say they feel like someone "deflated them..." Remember, it's not always about eating less and exercising more. Your body is far more intricate than that and often times there's a few more layers of the onion to peel back before you find your answer... But the good news is there is always an ans

Sometimes we can be our own worst enemy and talk down to ourselves in a way that we would never allow others to do… The problem is that this type of self-talk is actually worse than when it comes from others… When we talk negatively to ourselves it begins to hardwire a negative self-image in our mind that then becomes “our story…” Tune into today’s #CabralConcept 212 for exact details and to find out how to break the cycle, so that you can begin to change your life!
