I hope you've had an amazing week! I'm looking forward to bringing you today's #FridayReview where I've recapped the week and can't wait to share with you some fun new information...

Next up, I'm looking forward to re-sharing with you a book that helps make sense of how certain nutrient deficiencies can lead to many mood related issues that a lot of people needlessly suffer from... And finally, I'll be detailing the importance of our super-nutrient of the week that is essential for recovering from any type of stress, exercise, leaky gut issues, or illnesses...

Can too much of a good thing suddenly become a very bad thing for your body, health & mind? The research says is definitive and shows that unless you've built in unloading weeks, rest days, and a periodization based exercise model into your training it's only a matter of time before you break down... The good news is that all of this is easily correctable if you know what to look for and how to assess how much your body can handle...

Feeling bloated after a meal is not a new human phenomenon... For thousands of years humans have been using natural “digestive aids” to improve digestion and help with poor food combining... However, much of that ancient wisdom has been lost in this new age of acid blocking medications or over the counter antacids... Today on the #CabralConcept 782 podcast I want to share with you some of these time-tested natural remedies to help improve digestion and decrease bloating with meals - Enjoy the show! - - -  Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/782 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral  

The new buzz around "lectins" has certainly taken the nutrition industry by storm, but is it all hype or is there some truth to it? The low-lectin diet asserts that it's the "sticky" proteins in most #plantbased foods that cause everything from intestinal discomfort to brain fog to leaky gut to auto-immune conditions... The question is are we looking at the wrong enemy in terms of foods, or is there something deeper going on within the gut that may cause lectins to be an issue in the first place? Tune into today's #CabralConcept 781 for an depth look at whether or not you should be following a low lectin diet! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/781 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral  

I believe the idea of "bucket lists" has begun to take a turn for the worse and is becoming synonymous with focusing on your mortality... Instead, I believe creating a bucket list should actually be viewed more as a motivational tool for visualizing how much more life you have to live! And as a result, I recommend that everyone construct multiple "buckets" for every stage of their life... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 780 to discover how to create the ultimate bucket list in order to begin to set the stage for the life you truly want to live - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/780 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral  

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started! Jessica: Dear Dr Cabral, I have been listening to and learning from your podcast for quite awhile now and really enjoy it! I have a complicated health diagnosis right now that I was hoping you could weigh in on. We recently moved cross country and I need to find a new functional doctor. My last was excellent and after years of feeling ill and having odd symptoms she finally diagnosed me with Chronic Inflammatory reaponse Syndrome from mold toxicity. I had every positive test required for the diagnosis. I have MARCoNS in my sinuses at high levels which I am working on with a compounded colloidal silver spray and cholestyramine as well as GI detox. My thyroid is low functioning so I am on naturthroid. I had 4 children in seven years with hyperemesis gravidarum and no nutritional support so my labs all came ba

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions: Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral, thanks so much for continuing to produce such helpful information and insight to healing and optimizing health. I listen to your podcast daily and have shared various episodes with family members whom I believe would benefit. My question is about GI health--I've been working with my naturopathic doctor to heal mild gut inflammation I began experiencing around this past Christmas. In addition, I've also been working with diet and supplementation (digestive enzymes, probiotic, aloe vera after meals to soothe gut, etc) to address improved gut motility to eliminate constipation and now have improved bowel regularity and volume (BM at least 1-2 times per day, Bristol scale type 3 or 4). This week I had an ultrasound with my OB/GYN to rule out concerns I had with pelvic pain; while the ultr

One of the major issues with our current healthcare system is the fact that we don't consider people "unwell" unless they have a gross abnormality on their blood work labs... However, waiting until people are sick we are negligently allowing people to walk around with nutrient deficiencies (that blood work can't pick up) and toxicities, which later cause the dis-eases we're trying to prevent in the first place... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 777 for more details on that topic as well as some ground breaking research on a 3x5-minute workout and our super-nutrient of the week discussion - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/777 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral  

It's not that shorter workouts are just easier to fit into your day or keep consistent with, but it's the fact that they are actually better for you that's changing the game... Exercise physiologists, personal trainers, and strength coaches have come to better understand how the human body functions under stress (exercise) and how it recovers... With this new knowledge more advanced workout programs are being created that not only are quicker to complete than ever before, but they actually get you better results! Tune into today's #CabralConcept 776 to discover why shorter workouts are the future of fitness and how to implement them in your own life - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/776 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

We tend to look at disease as something that's out of our control and that it just happens to us... Conventional medicine and the media has brainwashed us into thinking it's simply "bad genetics," or a normal process of aging... However, none of that is true and holds very little weight when you begin to understand the "pathology" of dis-ease in the body and why we become sick or overweight unintentially... And, the great news is that all these poor health conditions are reversible, as long as we begin to uncover the underlying imbalances that created the environment within our body that allowed for the expression of these symptoms in the first place!

Last week I detailed what you should request for your annual blood work (and why), and I still stand by the importance of running those labs, but... Running just blood work will never catch everything... For example, it's near impossible to figure out gut dysfunction (GI issues), allergies, heavy metals, cortisol, and other hidden imbalances through your blood work alone... This is why Functional Medicine lab testing has become so popular over the last decade... It is the ONLY way to figure out what the underlying root causes are to the wellness, weight loss, or anti-aging issues you may be facing... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 774 to learn why running just your blood work is never enough and what other labs you may want to look into based on your conditions - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/774 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

Have you ever found yourself in a downward cycle where everything seems to be going the wrong way... During these times it's easy to play the role of the victim and complain about our current circumstances... We've all been there and we certainly feel justified in our complaints since after all we've got a lot worth complaining about! However, in the long-run this cycle of complaining actually hurts far more than it could ever benefit us... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 773 to discover how to make the choice to never complain again - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/773 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started! Dalila: Hello, Could you kindly tell me, weither you deliver to England, UK. I am very interested in doing your wellness and food sensitivity test! If not, would you be able to recommend anywhere in the south of England that may practice something similar to what you do. This would be of great help. I love listening to the podcast, very informative. Thank you for your time. Kind Regards, Dalila Aaron: Hi Stephen, thanks for the podcast. I have been struggling with gynecomastia caused by low testosterone. Everywhere I look online seems to say that since it is not weight based there is not much to do. I also do not want to begin taking testosterone. Thanks Tenille: Greetings from Hobart, Australia Dr Cabral! I really appreciate your podcasts, the wisdom you share & am really hoping you can provide some gu

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track!  Check out today's questions: Ruben: Hello Dr. Cabral, First of all THANK YOU for putting in the time to put out the podcast on a regular basis. I wasn't sure what address to reach out with my question, so I figured I would start with this one. The question is actually for my wife. She had a annual exam yesterday and the Cholesterol test came back high. The doctor prescribed her a low dose Statin. My wife has been really sad since then because she really watches what she eats and is active. here is a brief overview: Height: 5'8 Weight: 134 lbs Age: 38 - Does not eat beef/pork - Eats chicken ( once a week) - eats fish ( once a week) - drinks a green drink 98% of the time, daily ( spinach, banana, apple, ginger, tumeric, spirulina, water) - when she doesn't pull her back ( she has few back issues), she works out about 4 times a week. - work

Today I'm bringing you a special episode of the #FridayReview where I'm dedicating all 3 topics to helping you to de-stress, unwind, and enjoy more restorative sleep! First, I want to share with you some research on how understanding your daily work/sleep rhythms allow for another 5-7 years of a longer life span... Next, I have 2 fun apps for you to download (for free) that enable you to eliminate the blue light from your electronic devices enabling you to lower cortisol in the evening... And finally, I want to bring you my "super-nutrient of the week," which is dedicated to an herb that has been prized in Ayurvedic Medicine for over 3,000 years as a "destroyer of stress..."

I'm a big fan of not always stressing yourself out with the "micro" or the details of designing a workout program... I'd rather have you start to move your body, have some fun doing it, and enjoy all the mental and physical benefits that come with exercise... However, at some point you may want to take your workouts to the next level and when that time comes one of the best ways to do that is by listening to your body as to how hard you can push it... Everyone is different, which is why using a heart rate monitor can be a simple, but HIGHLY effective way to burn more fat, boost your metabolism, and keep your workouts safe at the same time... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 769 where I share with you the "sweet science" of heart rate training and exactly how to integrate it into your workouts - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/769 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral  

I'm excited to bring you an in depth interview with one of the leading experts on "Intermittent Fasting!" Intermittent fasting (IF) is easily one of the hottest topics trending in the fitness & nutrition field right now... The problem is that there is so much misinformation out there, as well as conflicting reports on how to properly complete a fast... To put an end to the confusion, during my conversation with my guest expert, Thomas DeLauer, we get deep into the benefits of intermittent fasting, how long you should be fasting, and an easy way to begin to implement this into your life... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 768 for the details on how to get all the benefits & results of Intermittent Fasting without having to suffer the food cravings or typical drawbacks - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/768 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

Running your blood work every 6-12 months should be mandatory in order to "catch" serious health issues quickly... The problem is that not all MDs or PCPs will run all the lab tests you should be looking at... For example, most MDs will run your cholesterol, but they overlook homocysteine and CRP, which when all elevated can spell serious trouble for inflammatory heart disease... Of course, all of these dis-eases are correctable, but you do need to know what you're dealing with in the first place... So, on today's #CabralConcept 767 I want to share with you what to ask for (and why) when running your annual blood work - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/767 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

Many people think happiness is elusive and that it's not something they could possibly achieve for any sustainable amount of time... I used to feel this same way until I began to use a simple system that all begins with realizing when you are at your best and feeling great... What I've found now is that life isn't supposed to be perfect all the time, but I believe we can feel happy the majority of the time if we first know what happiness looks like to us... Today, on #CabralConcept 766 I want share with you the mental exercise I use in my private practice to demonstrate how you can make yourself happy on daily basis in a very practical way - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/766 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started! Viviane: Love your podcast, have learned so much. ok, straight to the point. My hands get numb at night , both hands, and wake me up several times during the night. Started a long time ago with the left hand , but now are both. Dr. said I had a very light case of carpal tunnel 5 years a go, gave me shots and for a couple years , it was fine. Came back and much worse. went again to DR, did nerve tests and same diagnosis. Got the shots again , which did ABSOLUTELY nothing this time, but made my hands very much uncpable for a couple days.
