It's one thing to be focused on getting well, losing weight, or being happy, but how you go about it is much more important... For example, if you are focused on overcoming your inflammatory dis-ease or reshaping your body, but your thought process is consistently centered around what you lack I can assure you that your focus will only lead to more lack... This is why I invite you to tune into today's #CabralConcept 612 where I'll show you how to flip this focus in order to try to attract what you truly want without feeling anxious, depressed, or overwhelmed - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/612 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral  

We're back with our 2nd day of Cabral HouseCall questions submitted by our online community. I'm looking forward to getting to more of these Q&A's so let's get started! Cara: Hello, Dr. Cabral!! As always thank you for your commitment to helping as many people as you can. This one is for a dear friend of mine: My friend is 48 years old and this is her litany of ailments: -Hashimotos -Lupus -RA (but thinks its misdiagnosed) -Catabolic -Infrequent bowel movements (only a couple a week) -On antibiotics from birth to 12 years old (everyday) -Metal in hand from an injury -No OTC or prescription meds since 2006 other than 90 mg of Armour - She's about to be without insurance and regular doctors are mis-reading her thyroid numbers and she is a "crazy" person when she comes off the Armour...doesn't know how to get this prescribed while she gets to the root cause.

Hello and welcome back to another Cabral HouseCall where we answer our community's questions each and every weekend! So let's get started - Here are today's questions: Morgan: Hi Dr. Cabral and crew, Many thanks to you and your staff for the incredible work you do! Do you have any suggestions for overcoming secondary amenorrhea. I am a 30 year old female lacking menstruation for the past 18 months. I am hypothyroid and have digestive health issues including parasites, candida/SIBO.I was previously on a keto diet and had additional weight loss from chronic digestive distress. I believe both factors and high stress levels contributed to my body shutting down menstruation. I am currently gluten, dairy and grain free and almost back to my normal body weight. I plan to complete your parasite and candida/bacterial protocol. In the meantime, do you have any lifestyle, herbal or dietary recommendations for getting back my period? Strategies for increasing carbs without worsening candida/SIBO symptoms? Thanks for taki

I get asked all the time how it could be possible for so many people to have gut based issues... The reason is actually simpler than you would think: Environmental toxins like heavy metals and plastics combined with NSAIDs (Ibuprofen), alcohol, birth control, processed food, fried foods, stress, antibiotics, tap water, and numerous other man-made products all contribute to a break down in the gut... This can then lead to every known dis-ease we've come to give a name and prescribe a drug for... The great news is that just like bone broth there are natural nutritional supplements proven to help protect and rebuild your stomach and intestinal tract to keep you healthy and strong! Tune into today's #CabralConcept 609 for the details on a nutritional supplement that combines 5 food extracts proven to be even more powerful that bone broth at healing and sealing your gut wall - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/609 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/a

If you're looking to transform your body and actually change the shape of the way you look it's important to get the most out of your workouts… This doesn't necessarily mean putting in more time or effort, but it does mean exercising smarter… One of the best ways to do this is by systematically tracking your workouts by looking at specific variables… Not everything in your workout is important to track, but there are a few specific numbers that will get you to your goals faster... On today's #CabralConcept 608 I will share with you how to track your workouts in order to get better results – enjoy the show!  - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/608 - - - Get Your Quesion Answered: http://StephenCabal.com/askcabral  

I'm not sure who came up with the line, "a clean colon is a happy colon," but nevertheless there is a lot of truth to that... The reason for this is that a stagnant or corroded intestinal tract can lead to malabsorption, reabsorption of estrogen and other toxins, as well as bacterial imbalance... So the goal isn't necessarily to completely "clean out" your intestines, but it is to create a balanced microbiome between all inhabitants... One of the best ways to do this is with an intestinal cleanse and on today's #CabralConcept 607 I'll share with you why, when, and how to complete one - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/607 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral  

The worst time to think about your brain health is after you get the diagnosis of Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, dementia, memory loss, or some other brain related dis-ease... And the problem is that most doctors will never test for things like cortisol levels, heavy metals, or other factors that can "burn out" and "rust out" your brain... The good news is that we know that there are certain labs you can use as early warning detectors, as well as certain supplements that can aid in brain health...

It doesn't matter who you are, where you were born, or even how successful you currently are right now... Eventually you're going to hit a point of stress and frustration that stems from not being able to take your goals and life to that next level you desire... It's at this point that you need to sit yourself down and have a real chat about how the knowledge, experience, and know-how you've accumulated up to this moment is not enough to get you to that new chapter in your life... It's at this time where you must begin to pose new questions to yourself in order to change your current level of thinking and mindset...

Izziness, We're back with our 2nd day of the Cabral HouseCalls and I'm looking forward to sharing with you more of our community's questions... Let's get started! Leilani: Dear Dr Cabral, I have tried dry brushing twice and each time I start off, I'm fine for around 2 to 3 weeks after which my legs start to itch! I brush for a few minutes before showering and then when I dry my legs after coming out of the shower, they will not stop itching for quite a while. Rubbing with a towel or just my hands make it feel better for a little bit, but then it just starts off again. At first I didn't see anything strange (like a rash) but when I looked closer I could just slightly make out some small white spots...? Eventually the itching will go away (10 - 30 minutes later) but sometimes when I sit on the train (when my legs make contact with something, usuly wearing trousers) it can kick off again. After I stop with the brushing, my legs will continue to itch after showering for up to a month. I only moisturise my body wi

It's that time again! Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCalls where we answer our community's questions each and every week! Here are today's Q&A topics: Irene: Hello, I have type 2 diabetes. I was diagnosed about 3 years ago. A few days ago I ordered your Protocal package and I'm looking forward to start using it. I will also be doing the three day fast that I recently heard on one of your podcasts. My diabetes numbers average about 325 each morning. I am on Metformin and Glipizide. The doctors have tried other meds that got my numbers in the 180 range, but they made me very sick. When I eat healthy, my numbers average about 250 in the mornings. Right now I exercise doing Zumba for one hour, twice a week. What can I do immediately that can lower my numbers? Thank you for taking the time to answer this question.   Sally: Hi Dr. Cabral, thanks for taking the time to answer these questions! My issue- I have no trouble falling asleep but wake up multiple times a night- sometimes every 1.5. I don't feel

We all know that food is our best medicine, but you may not know that certain foods have special qualities... That means that certain foods possess innate attributes that can improve very specific health imbalances... Every 4-6 months I try to add new foods into my diet that I purposely use as "supplements" in order to further improve different aspects of my health... Tune into #CabralConcept 602 for my 5 favorite foods I'm supplementing with right now, and why...

When it comes to exercise and working out the secret is always in the details... This is one of the reasons why you'll often see some people exercising  half the time as others and getting better results from their workouts! Training your abs and core is no different. You need to know how, when, and for how long to train that muscle group to get the best results... tune into today's #CabralConcept 601 for all the details on when to work your abs - Enjoy the show! - - -  http://StephenCabral.com/601 - - - Get Your Questions Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral    

Last week I shared the 4 toxins that are toxic to your thyroid and inhibit it from functioning well... Now I want to detail the 2 minerals that are missing from most people's diet that adversely affect their thyroid... Unfortunately, these 2 minerals can also be blocked by the toxins I spoke about last week... And, without these 2 minerals your body literally cannot make active thyroid hormone - Which means many of the thyroid drugs we're giving people are at best masking symptoms and at worst only contributing to the underlying problem... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 600 to discover the 2 missing minerals your thyroid needs to thrive - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/600 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral  

I almost made it to episode 600 without going on a full out rant about one of the most popular diet plans in the world right now! But, I just couldn't hold back any longer and wanted to expose the truth about eating a high fat/low carb diet in the long-term... Remember, just because something has merit in one area of science or weight loss, does not make it a viable long-term solution... The body has to eventually adapt and when it does it can negatively affect stress hormones, digestion, immunity, and the microbiome... Today, I'll briefly explain the downsides of imbalanced eating and also provide the differences with the 4 main food pyramids... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 599 for all the details on why following an "upside down" food pyramid may just make you worse off in the long-run - enjoy the show! - - -  Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/599 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral  

Once I realized that accumulating knowledge wasn't enough to actually move forward and accomplish my goals, I began to look for ways to take action... I studied the best. I tried to model their actions, tips and behaviors... And, one of those strategies I can attest to that works exceptionally well is called the "90/90/1 Principle." Although it's been stated in many different ways over the years, I like how Robin Sharma broke it down and crystalized it... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 598 for my personal take on how to use "Sharma's 90/90/1 Success Principle" to achieve your goals in life - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/598 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral  

Thank you for tuning back into our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I'm excited to share this week's community Q&A with you. Here are today's amazing questions: Rose: I have a niece and a great niece that suffers from eczema very bad. They have looked to traditional medicine and natural path medicine to try and find a answer. They have went through the usual limitation diets, cleanses, And out of desperation have even used traditional drugs. At times they both have had some improvement but it always flairs up. My niece is a positive individual and will try almost anything but I noticed in the more recent month she seems a bit depressed about it and I think it is mostly because of her 5 year old daughter suffering so bad with it. Any suggestions. I would pay for the testing for them. Listen to your podcasts regularly. Thanks!   Lindsay: Hi, After a recent blood test it showed I had estrogen Dominace (due to excessive amounts of estrogens being produced, compounded by inadequate progesterone production)

Welcome back to our 1st Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! Here are our community questions for today: Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral! Long time listener, first time caller! ;) My question is about raw foods & being a classic vata. I am a whole-foods vegan with very occasional dairy here & there. I am a classic vata... very small boned, always cold (I wear pants all summer in Phoenix), high anxiety, and frequent trouble digesting heavy or complicated foods/bloating/gas/lower abdominal pain/abdominal bloating to the point where I look a little pregnant by the end of the day even though my upper waist/stomach area stays very small. I am 36 years old, 2 kids, a normal weight (110 lbs/ 5'2") and have been stable at that weight for 15 years, other than a foray into paleo/high fat/keto, which was awful and made me instantly gain 5-10 pounds and feel like crap, but I lost the weight immediately when I went back to vegetarian/vegan. Whenever I go through a phase in my diet where I want to commit to taking my diet to

Poor posture has far more to do than with just aesthetics or how you present yourself to the world... The rounding of your shoulders, curving of your lower back, swaying of your hips, locking out of your knees, as well as other postural deviations can set you up for a host of health issues... Pain, headaches, tension, and numbness are just a few of those symptoms associated with poor posture... Today on the #CabralConcept 595 I'll detail all the symptoms of poor posture, what proper posture is, and how you can go about correcting these issues - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/595 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral  

Although I love all forms of exercise, some specific modalities do work better than others when it comes to increasing lifespan... One way that I'm measuring aging in my Functional Medicine practice is through Telomere testing, which essentially tells you how quickly your body is breaking down... Although some people get nervous about finding out their true "biological age," I believe it's a great thing to know... Since knowing your biological age (not chronological) allows you a baseline as to how your current lifestyle is working for you... And, if you happen to want to decrease your rate of aging, there are many factors to do so - with one of those being a specific form of exercise... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 594 to find out the one form of exercise that has been show to increase longevity - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/594 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral    

When it comes to healing your thyroid one of the issues that's often overlooked is toxicity... This also goes well beyond leaky gut/intestinal permeability and has more to do with certain heavy metals that disrupt this delicate gland... And if these specific heavy metals are high, they'll actually block your thyroid's ability to make activated thyroid hormone (T3)...
