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

I'm excited to bring you part 2 of our weekend Cabral #HouseCalls where I answer our community questions on all things wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging! Here are today's questions: Kevin: Dr Cabral, So I have been following your work for about 5 years when I bought and implemented the teachings in "A Man's Guide to Muscle and Strength". I was looking for a program to follow, and this fit the bill perfectly. I've used the structure of the programs in the book ever since. I rotate these programs every 4-6 weeks, and try to increase the weight throughout the program before cycling off onto a new 4-6 week program. My question is around the SAID principle. There are many exercises that I've plateaued. For example, take a bench press or a seated row. Each of these are part of a 4-6 program so I may do these 6 times a year. And when I first started working out with your book as my guide, I was able to increase the weight as I went along. But with both, I've can't move past the weight that I'm currently at. And

It's already the weekend and that means it's time for our HouseCall shows! Here are this weekend's community questions! Erin: Hi Dr. Cabral, I can't thank you and Julia enough for the positive influence you are having on our family and our health. Your health coach Julia has been amazing in guiding us, answering our questions and encouraging us on our path to health. My husband and I are both on our healing journeys and it is all thanks to you and your team! We listen to your podcast every day and talk about you and your teachings to all our friends and family. My question for you today is concerning my mother. She is 73 years old and has suffered with Polymyalgia Rheumatica for many years. She has been taking prednisone and the side affects are debilitating, always hungry, weight gain, hair loss to name a few. She was looking into biologics based on the recommendation of my sister-in-law, but then discovered they are only available for those suffering from Rheumatoid Arthritis. Today her doctor gave her a pr

Welcome back to the #FridayReview! This week we've got some amazing research and products to chat about and it all starts with the topic of genetics... Too many people use "genetics" as an excuse for why they have some dis-ease or imbalance... They simply haven't been taught that genetics just means you're predisposed to something - It's does NOT mean you have to suffer from some ailment... Next up, we'll be discussing what seems to be an epidemic amongst fibromyalgia patients (93% were low in this nutrient)... Plus, on today's show I talk about an easy way to get extra folate while pregnant without having to switch over to a "Prenatal vitamin..." And last, but certainly not least, I attempt to smash the stigma around using CBD Oil with children that could benefit from a lower dose protocol...

One of the greatest myths in health & fitness is that by doing cardio you are actually training your legs... Running, biking, elliptical, and other modes of cardio work can have their own benefit, but they are not the same as squats, deadlifts, lunges, and step-ups... This means that by skipping your leg training and opting for cardio only, you are greatly missing out on dozens of benefits...

Nowadays it seems like there are as many diet, exercise, or wellness plans as there are gurus...  So this begs the question: Who's right? And, maybe an even more important question is, how do you know which plan is right for YOU? On today's #CabralConcept 579 I'll help you figure out what plan to follow to get the best results possible - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/579 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral  

The last thing I want you to do is worry that you're going to get cancer... Worry, fear, and helplessness, are certainly all helping hands in causing dis-ease and cancer, so let's push those aside during this conversation... What I do want to do right now is share with you some important information that could possibly save your or a loved one's life... When cancer is caught early enough, natural treatment protocols (and conventional measures) can intervene and return your body back to balance...

In our 24/7/365 hustle society we may have lost sight of the fact that being busy does not mean you're accomplishing anything... To me, one of the worst things I believe you could do is to "work hard" and not get any results to show for it... This is what truly leads to frustration and eventually to giving up on your goals... But it doesn't have to be that way, and on today's #CabralConcept 577 I want to share with you why you may not be making (as much) progress as you'd like - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/577 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

Welcome back to day 2 of our weekend Cabral HouseCalls! I'm really looking forward to doing my best to answer your questions today that have been coming in over the past few weeks, so let's get started! Adalyn: Hi Dr Cabral, I am so grateful for your podcast and have to admit I'm completely addicted. I love all the knowledge and especially the science behind it. I am a pitta body type and I'm lectin sensitive. I have plateaued in my weight loss. I have bloating, acne around my nose and chin, I'm extremely fatigued, brain fog, and I think I deal with some poor circulation and inflammation as my limbs go numb easily and my knees ache a lot. I hike 3-5 days a week and do weight training 2-3 days a week. I've had some Mercury fillings removed in the last year. I wondered if you had any ideas what might be going on and what I can do to heal my body? Thank you so much!! Cynthia: hi Stephen, You're a true blessing, thank you for all you do. My almost fifteen year old (125 lb) has had IB for 5 years, often worse in t

I hope you had a fantastic last week and now it's that time again where we get to check in with the community and see what questions we have for this weekend! Here are today's Q&A's:  Camille: Hi Dr. Cabral, In my house, you are known as "Cabral"...I talk about you and quote you SO much, we've just shortened it to Cabral...anyway, I use your All in One Daily shake and daily fruits & vegetable powder in the smoothies I make every singe day for my husband and I. I also take your activated B everyday. I have completed one of your 7 day detox programs with huge success. Swear by those for sure. My question today is: What do you think about collagen powder or products? I am 58 yrs old and wonder if I need to use this or if there is really any benefit. If you do recommend them, what is a good one to use? I follow your clean eating menu from the detox and exercise about 20 minutes 6 days a week. Thank you in advance. Your so kind to share your wisdom in so many ways. Camille   Cindy: Hello there Stephen Cabr

I'll be the first one to tell you that I do not promote or recommend weight loss supplements... I prefer people to boost their metabolism through sustainable approaches using nutrition, exercise, and other healthy lifestyle factors... However, since I get asked quite often if there are any supplements that have been proven to help lose weight, I did want to share the ones with actual research behind them...

Too many people believe that in order to get great results you need to be training 6-7x a week... This is so far from the truth it's not even funny, and unfortunately, it prevents a lot of people from getting started in the first place... The media perpetuates the idea that our workouts should be long and grueling, but the research simply doesn't back this up... If anything, less can often be more and on today's podcast I want to share with you why this is the case - Especially for those just getting back into a routine...

After almost 20 years in the health & fitness industry I've noticed 3 specific points in the year that are the most effective times to recommit to your goals... These are the times where you'll have the greatest chance of success and the longest stretches of uninterrupted periods to really dive into a healthy nutrition and exercise plan... Likewise, I've also seen 3 big dips during the course of a calendar year where we need to prepare ourselves to expect more obstacles to come up... It's during these times that we may look to just "ride the wave" and maintain our results rather than always pushing for more... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 572 to discover these patterns and how you can use them to your advantage to properly recommit yourself to your body transformation goals - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/572 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral  

I'm sure even going back just 100 years ago people would be laughing at us talking about taking a break from eating! The truth is that we have so much food abundance (in many countries) that we actually have to be convinced it's NOT a good thing to always be eating - even healthy food... The reason for this is that we as humans are hard-wired to eat, gain weight, and protect our bodies for survival... The problem is that nature didn't really account for refrigeration and processed foods, which allow us to have near unlimited access to food 24/7/365... Therefore, it is vitally important we re-learn diurnal eating cycles in order to improve our health, transform our bodies, and live longer! But, like with anything, intermittent fasting can be done the right way, or the wrong way depending on your needs... That's why on today's #CabralConcept 571 I want to teach you the 7 most common intermittent fasting mistakes - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/571 - - - Get Your Ques

Growing up we're always being shielded from hardships... Our parents, community, and everyone that cares for us tries to the best of their ability to protect us and make our life as comfortable as possible... Eventually this leads to the mindset that we must avoid as many challenging situations as possible - After all, we've been taught that the goal is to remain in our "safe zone." The problem is that playing it safe can often backfire and what we're left with is a life that is anything but happy or fulfilled...

Thank you for tuning back into our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend - We've got some great Q&A's today. Here are today's community questions: Susie: Hi Dr. Cabral, I am pregnant and am planning on breastfeeding my baby. A friend of mine however started to breastfeed but had to stop after her baby developed an allergy to her milk.... I read the ingredients list for the crazy expensive can of formula she is using and saw some ingredients that I didn't really like such as palm kernel oil etc... It was a major brand that everyone would know, but it was far more expensive than the regular formula because apparently it is their "allergy" or "medical" formula. What would your suggestion be for a brand of formula if a mother has to use it (or chooses to use it) over breast milk. I cannot thank you enough for all that you do. Susie Lubos: Dr. Cabral. Not sure if this is even a good question, but let me try… (BTW, thank you for answering my question about 23&me). I have heard you say several times – let’s st

Welcome to our first Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! Here are today's community questions: Jen: Hi Dr. Cabral I've heard you talk a little about body types and wondered how much this affects what each type eats and how they are supposed to exercise. Could you give a brief overview of each of those different body types (Ectomorph, Mesomorph, Endomorph) and how to tell which one I might be as well as the best exercise and foods for each type? Also, How does your blood type affect the way you breakdown food and should eat? Thanks - Jen   Josie: Hi Doc, I bought the parasite and candida cleanse, but decided to be safe and do the h. Pylori treatment first. My questions are: Should I follow the healthy gut guide (for the candida) for the entire cleanse? Also, I'm noticing that I'm having bloating after eating meats (specifically fish and eggs). You mentioned Great Lakes collagen protein powder and I'm wondering if I can use it during these cleanses.   Steph B: Hello Doctor! Thank you so much for EVERYTHING you do!

All of us are use to celebrating our birthday every year and getting one year old (chronologically), but... Your chronological age can often be drastically different than your biological age... What this means is that regardless of the actual number of birthday's you've celebrated, the inside of your body may be aging at a faster (or slower) rate... The goal, of course, is to slow down the aging process as much as possible, so that age truly does become "just a number." And by slowing the aging process you will get to enjoy more energy, stamina, better moods, vibrant hair/skin/nails, and over-all a greater sense of well-being...

When I went gluten-free 20 years ago the food selection was a lot different... There wasn't the level of choice that we now see in the grocery food store... You can now purchase everything from breads, to muffins, to cookies in gluten-free varieties... But the question then becomes, are these options better than those containing wheat or gluten?

About 20 years ago I suffered from one of the worst cases of "adrenal chronic fatigue" you could have... I was diagnosed with Addison's Disease and given no hope for recovery - except to continue to take a drug based cortisol for the rest of my life... I decided that I didn't want to live this way and as a result I went searching for answers... What I discovered along the way changed my life, led to my complete recovery, and to a life I could have only dreamed about... Now, I've made it my mission to share the proven wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging strategies with you, so that you too no longer have to suffer...
