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

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! Ronda: I have a deep ridge in one of the nails on my left hand that has been there for close to a year. I have not slammed it in anything so I am concerned it is the sign of an underlying condition. Any and all information on what to do would be greatly appreciated. It has been there for close to a year. I have not seen any doctors regarding it, I have researched and can only find it can be from poor absorption. I suffer from muscle cramps regularly and I wonder if the two are related. I only drink water and have coconut water daily. My diet has not been great until recently when I started your fatlossity diet, which has been great. I have been on it for 2 weeks and have lost weight. Before the diet I still ate pretty healthy eating grass fed and organic foods as much as possible. I am not a big sugar eate

My 17 year old daughter has experienced an unexplained, alternating pattern of vomitin

Welcome back to our #FridayReview where I'm taking a little time out today from our typical routine of bringing you the latest books, supplements, products, and research to get you closer to your wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging goals... Instead, today we are going to answer some frequent listener questions around how I plan my day, try to get a lot done, what I do to unwind, and how I record my daily podcast... So for all the details on the things I can't do without and what's in my travel bag, tune into #CabralConcept 630 - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/630 - - - Get Your Questions Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral  

Believe it or not, it's actually best to change up your workout programs based on the seasons... The reason for this is that most people typically have a "peak season" where they want to look their absolute best for. This means that for the rest of their year they should be planning their workout routines around peaking at the right time... And, one of the best seasons to completely change up your program is in the Winter (cold weather). It allows you to go through certain exercises and rep ranges that you may not do at any other time in the year... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 629 for the reason why I believe now is the time to switch over to cold weather workout routines in order to look your very best when it counts - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/629 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral    

Your thyroid is almost like the "watchman" of the body where it's constantly assessing the situation of how you're doing in terms of nutrition, stress, hormones, toxicity, sleep, and exercise... When one of those begins to falter there's usually back-up systems in place in order to rebalance the body and make up for a lack in one area... However, over time your body does not compensate as well and as a result your overall metabolism (a.k.a. thyroid) can begin to suffer and slow...

Have you ever wondered what the difference was between a cleanse, a detox, and a fast? Or if there is even a difference at all? I'll be honest, right now most companies market their products completely unaware of the differences, and therefore, you may be mistakenly not getting the results you're looking for...

I'm not sure if the planets are in some sort of odd astrological alignment, but from what I've been experiencing and seeing all around me there seems to be a general transition happening right now... What's stranger is that many people are at a loss as to which direction to move in. They may have tried to make a pivot in life and for some reason it's not going as planned... The issue is that what you may not realize is that these "growth periods" need to occur in your life - Your life would actually go backwards if this were not the case... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 626 to find out why the answer you seek to your current condition will only appear upon taking a specific action - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/626 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral    

Welcome back to our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions! Here are today's topics: Jen: Hi Dr. Cabral, I was looking at your weight loss testing because I'm interested in finding out what my specific body need in order to get on the right plan for weightloss and wellness. I was also reading that your genetic testing can also tell me what my specific body needs in order to lose weight and I was wondering if you could tell me a little bit more about which one would be best? Tania: Hi Dr. Cabral! I am an avid listener (as is my entire family), and I have written in several times. Your advice has been so impactful, so thank you again for all that you do. Giving your time to this podcast is so generous, and I appreciate your response in advance. Today, I'm writing on behalf of my brother-in-law. Last year, while driving, he had a seizure at the wheel. He blacked out completely, and thankfully survived a nearly fatal crash. He woke up in

We are back with another episode of the #CabralHouseCalls! I'm looking forward to our community's questions today, so let's get started with these Q&As: Monica: Hello, I had wonderful success several years ago with the Fatlossity program so I decided to do it again. Because it has been so long since I bought the original program, I recently bought the Fatlossity 2.0 Diet Plan. I'm excited and ready to being but I'm a little confused about what exercises to perform and in what order. The previous digital condition came with a set exercise program however; the new 2.0 program book only gives fat loss intervals and says to perform them after a 30-45 metabolic resistance workout. I don't know where to begin with the metabolic resistance workout. Would a Zumba class be the same? Thanks Toni: Quick question! Can I put a teaspoon of Diatamaceous earth in my morning coffee and / or oatmeal every am as a part of my daily parasite and overall healthy belly routine. Is it still effective this way? Should I be taking

When it comes to winning the battle against aging what we're really looking to do is keep our energy, stamina, mood, vitality, and body strong... This means putting good quality foods in our body, exercising (without overdoing it), getting adequate sleep, and doing things that boost our mood... But, there are also some additional ways you can take your health and longevity to the next level. One of those ways is by using science-backed nutritional supplements proven to keep you feeling (and looking) younger longer...

Some people love to exercise, while others despise it, but the bottom line is that if you want to get into great shape you really do need to include at least a little movement into your day... This is why I'm a big believer in doing the exercises that maximize your results with the least amount of time involved... After all, we're all busy and lead pretty hectic lives, so our workouts shouldn't add more confusion or stress to that equation... And, on today's #CabralConcept 622 I'll clearly lay out exactly how to design your workouts to maximize output while also sharing with you how to "ice the cake" on your workouts for sculpting the arms, abs, and legs you've been looking for - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/622 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral  

Although I have previously reviewed this style of "dieting" before I have gotten so many questions on intermittent fasting (IF) and which form is best, that I thought it deserved a more thorough discussion... The problem is that there are so many different types of IF diet plans that it's often difficult to surmise which plan is best for you... After all, you need to figure out if you should just eat dinner one day, skip meals all together, or if you should just drop your calories for a couple of days per week... To clear up this confusion, tune into today's #CabralConcept 621 for all the details and breakdown of the 5:2 "Up-Down" Dieting Method - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/621 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral  

Food sensitivities are one of the most misunderstood health issues plaguing our culture... Since a food sensitivity isn't a direct allergy that could result in death or an immediate disease symptom, they are often overlooked... However, what a food sensitivity does is cause short and long-term stress on your immune system that can eventually lead to what we label as "diseases." This means that eating certain foods (even healthy ones) could be causing your immune system unknown stress unless you know what to look for...

An ancient secret was known to all philosophers of almost every culture thousands of years ago before it was "lost" in today's modern society... At one point a general knowledge existed that our deepest thoughts are what ultimately lead to our feelings, which eventually manifest themselves in our actions... And those actions eventually become what we see in our lives. The problem is that we don't always like what we see and we don't feel we really asked for what we're currently getting... So on today's #CabralConcept 619 I want to explain how to break those negative thought patterns leading to the less desirable parts of your life - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/619 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral  

Our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend is here featuring these amazing community questions! Nina: Dear Dr. Cabral, Thank you for the very reasonable, thorough, and integrated information on your podcast and website. I feel I have benefited tremendously from what I have learned from you and from some of your products. I am wondering if you have a take on the efficacy of "bioregulation therapy" (BRT) or "pulsed electromagnetic field therapy" (PEMF) and the devices that supposedly provide these treatments. (For instance: http://www.brtamerica.com/mobilewellnessultra.html) BRT has been recommended to me as a treatment that has a lot of research associated with it, but it does sound a bit like science fiction. (For instance: http://www.brtamerica.com/research.html) Some non essential background information about our situation: I have been listening to your podcast and interested in "alternative" therapies since early 2016 when I removed all my symptoms of psoriasis and autoimmunity through diet, lifestyle change

Welcome back to our first HouseCall of the weekend! I'm looking forward to answering our community's questions on all things wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging so let's get started! Here are today's questions: Melanie: Hi Doc, Any clinical pearls on renal artery stenosis? I have been looking for a supplement protocol. All I can find is proteolytic enzymes and chromium to support the arteries. I was hoping you had some herbal remedies to suggest? I am well aware of lifestyle and diet being huge factors. Thanks for all you do for us! I appreciate all you have taught me! Leilani: Dear Dr Cabral, Thanks again for your great podcast! I did a search and couldn't find anything on glaucoma. My dad is 71 years old and has glaucoma. He had valves inserted to regulate the pressure. He now takes two different kinds of drops and has to do daily eye massages. The drops gives him terrible black circles around his whole eye socket, it makes him look very sick and old. I was just wondering if there is anything you can sugg

Much of the health, wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging information we're uncovering today is actually more of a "re-discovery" than a new breakthrough... The reason I say this is that there are 6,000 year old texts that very succinctly lay out how to overcome dis-ease, weight gain, and pre-mature aging... The issue is that these texts are very rarely studied and because of that most people (and doctors) are missing out on the potential "cure" to what ails them... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 616 for all the details on a 6,000 year old discovery that holds the answers to healing what ails you - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/616 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral  

I often find myself in the interesting predicament of knowing something is working in my practice, but don't have the science to back it up... Many health practitioners and personal trainers share this same sentiment and get frustrated with the lag time between research and the real world... Meaning, often times practitioners of their craft will be doing things that are getting people fantastic results, but the data won't show up on Pubmed or in the scientific literature for a decade later... I've found this to be especially true with interval training and on today's #CabralConcept 615 I'd like to explain why we should begin to re-think the best interval training & HIIT workouts - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/615 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral  

What personal trainers and nutritionists eat on a daily basis has always been a fascination by many outside of the health and fitness industry… After having worked in this space for the last 20 years I believe there's a lot we can learn from those that try their best to practice what they preach… So on today's #CabralConcept 614 I'd like to share with you the tips and strategies of what and how personal trainers and nutritionists really eat when no one's watching – Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/614 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

There's a lot of debate going on right now about the perfect breakfast and what it consists of... Some say it should be high fat, others recommend high protein, a few say high carb, while another whole group suggests skipping breakfast all together... Whenever, there seems to be this much confusion and debate I like to reference the many thousand year old Ayurvedic and Chinese Medicine manuscripts... After all, we humans have had a lot longer than just 150 years of "modern science" in order to figure out what works best for the human body...
