2017 has certainly been the year that fat has been making a comeback... There were dozens of books written on adding more fat to your diet and how fat has been a misunderstood food group for decades... But is all this fat really healthy for us in the long-run?  And if so, are all fats created equal? Can we really eat unlimited amounts of butter while maintaining our health and body? Tune into today's #CabralConcept 536 for the unbiased research and answer on whether of not fat and butter are really back to being health foods - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/536 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral  

There's a time for setting goals, working hard, and pushing yourself to your limits, and then there's a time to step back... It's important to know when to recognize when it's time to reassess where you're at and decide if it's still worth pushing forward even when your results seem to have become stagnant... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 535 for when to take a break from life (and your goals) temporarily and when to get back on track - Enjoy the show! - - -  Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/535 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral  

We're back with day 2 of the Cabral HouseCall and I'm looking forward to sharing with you some brand new questions that have come in over the past few weeks! Let's get started with today's Q&A! Jennett: Hello Dr. Cabral, I sent you a message about a week ago asking about why Im having a hard time losing some weight around my hips, legs and why I cannot get rid of my cellulite on the front and back side of my thighs. I realized I hadn't told you much about my body type and thought it might help in order for you to have a better idea of what might be going on. I am in my early 40's and weigh around 135 but I seem to have more fat than muscle tone and Ive always battled cellulite and estrogen dominance. I went to a natrapathic doctor when I received the estrogen dominance diagnosis and he put me on some supplements that balanced me out and that was about two years ago but I notice I do have extra weight on my thighs and butt as well as a little on my stomach (muffin top) I definitely don't have all the sympt

Welcome to day 1 of the Cabral HouseCalls! As always we have some amazing questions that have come in from our community and we're going to cover so much related to wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging, so let's get started! Here are today's questions: Sabreena: Hi Dr.Cabral, can't thank you enough for sharing your wealth of knowledge with all of us listeners. Your podcast is so valuable! Over the past year i have been getting frequent UTI symptoms that will pop up and then go away within a few hours. (drinking alkaline water often contributed to the frequency) i am mostly plant based and health conscious, but i didn't think much of it until i started to see small red and dry spots showing up on my skin!!! it led me to connect the clues! i was on birth control for 10 years and recently got off and definitely have some of the symptoms often attributed to an unhealthy gut or unbalanced microflora. my friends tell me not to self diagnose but i have come to realize that i may have a yeast or candida overgrowth?!

On today's #FridayReview I'm excited to share with you an intestinal cleanse protocol I "affectionately" refer to as the "Clean Colon Power Pack..." It grabs onto and removes bacteria, parasites, and decaying fecal matter from infecting the rest of your body... It's also excellent for occasional constipation, as well as during and after a Candida, SIBO, or Parasite protocol to remove any die-off... Today, I also share one of my favorite "old school" doctor's of all time and one of his books on "proper bowel management."  Tune into today's #Cabral Concept 532 for all the details - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/532 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral  

Eventually you're going to hit your limit... We all do, and when that happens our body becomes inflamed, sore, and run down... Although this can be caused by a toxic environment, eating the wrong foods, stress, pharmaceutical drugs, or some other reason, the easiest example to see of inflammation overload is when we workout... Although exercise is essential for a healthy, strong functioning body, it still does create tissue breakdown and inflammation... However, how we deal with that inflammation is the key to feeling energized versus exhausted...

There are some health issues that most people don't like to discuss... They get a little shy talking about them. But, if you don't share everything with your holistic doctor or health coach, they can't fully help you solve your current imbalances... This is why I ask everyone I see in my practice if they are having at least 1 healthy, unforced, bowel movement per day... If this isn't happening, the likelihood of getting completely well or losing the weight is low... There are many reasons why I say this, but simply put your 28 feet of digestive tract holds the key to your long-term health and if it isn't functioning optimally it's going to affect every other system in your body...

It's happened to at least one person you know... At one point or another you go on vacation or out to dinner and someone gets violently sick... They're throwing up. They have diarrhea. And, they literally can't hold down any food or liquids... This of course is a great cause for concern and something needs to be done ASAP... Luckily, if you know the fix before it happens you'll always know how to treat the condition and not just the symptoms...

Although I'm a big believer in goal setting, sometimes we can take it too far... Many of us are prone to setting big goals - Some of which won't even be achieved for months or years into the future... And while that's not necessarily a bad thing, it can leave you feeling like a failure or light years away from your goal on a day to day basis... This is why we need to have a better practice set up in our daily life for measuring our success or we're always going to feel unsatisfied with our life... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 528 to discover how to stop feeling so overwhelmed and instead start being happier and more relaxed in your every day life - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.om/528 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral    

Thank you for checking back in for our 2nd #CabralConcept of the weekend! We'll be answering more of our community's questions today, so let's get started: Angela: Hi Dr. Cabral, I would like to start by thanking you for everything that you do! Your daily podcasts have changed my health and life in many ways and a simple thank you just isn't enough. My question is regarding my inability to find balance. I have a very binge-like lifestyle. I can be dedicated to 21 days of only low glycemic foods while following the Dr. Cabral Detox meal plan. I also stay active with a balanced workout plan, and many other nutrition tips and staples you have suggested. BUT THEN... a holiday will come about or I find myself in a situation where I can not stop eating deliciously poisonous foods (and drinking beer!!). I was wondering if you have any tips or tricks you have used with clients before that help them finally achieve a balanced lifestyle? Are there any systematic approaches you use like getting off of caffeine or any mi

Welcome to another weekend of the Cabral HouseCalls! I'm excited to share with you our community Q&A and many other tips we add in along the way... Here are today's questions: Asheley: Hi Dr. Cabral, I enjoy listening to your podcast. I am interested in purchasing a lab test, specifically the Hormone & Adrenal Package or the Organic Acids Test, or both and eventually other tests. I recently took a blood test and found out that I have mild anemia, and my thyroid is on the low side of normal. My menstrual cycle is very irregular. My period can last for about 2 weeks with a lot of spotting for days, and a few days of consistently heavy bleeding with clots. I have fibrocystic breasts, so I avoid caffeine when I can and the pain has diminished. I have skin problems as well including acne on my shoulders and back, hyperpigmentation from acne scars on my face, back, and shoulders, some eczema between my fingers, and an occasional boil/carbuncle on my back. I have considered the gaps diet but I don't know whe

On today's #FridayReview I profess my adoration (and add 5 research studies) for one type of food that I believe every human should include in their diet...  I then talk about how and why the current conventional medicine model is broken without any signs of ever being fixed... Plus, on today's show I recap my favorite new sauna, myoball for releasing muscle tension, and a new feature for getting your questions answered...

If a drug were ever created that could reduce hearts by 60+% and any cause of death by 40%, every human would be taking it... It would literally be the first 10 trillion dollar drug and be given out like a multi-vitamin to take daily... The interesting thing is that this "drug" already does exist and a large-scale study was done over 2 years ago proving its efficacy, but I believe it's been kept under wraps for a number of reasons... One of those reasons being that you don't need to go to your doctor for a prescription and it's actually a form of natural detoxification that only takes 19 minutes per day to produce those remarkable life-saving results...

Let's face it, you're going to go out with friends, family, co-workers, or on a holiday and eat a few foods and drinks that maybe aren't the healthiest... You know that they're not the best choices, but part of life is also enjoying a few meals out with good people and letting loose... I lean more towards the belief that you'd actually be unhealthier not doing this... And because of this, I created something my private clients have been calling the "One Day Reset" diet. It essentially resets your body to the previous levels of healthy inflammation, blood sugar, hormones, etc.  Tune into today's #CabralConcept 523 where I explain the entire One Day Reset Diet and how you can download it for free today - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/523 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral  

Many people don't know this, but in ancient times (and still some places it's still practiced today) there was always a specific pre, peri, and postnatal plan. The prenatal plan focused on preparing the woman's (and man's) body for conception, while the perinatal prescription was comprised of healthy living, eating, and other recommendations while pregnant... And finally, detailed postnatal recommendations were given to ensure a healthy mom and baby after the birth... These measures included detoxification protocols, rest, specific foods to eat, and much more. And, on today's #CabralConcept 522 we explore these fertility issues, as well as how to have the healthiest pregnancy possible - enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/522 - - - Get Your Questions Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral  

I know it's easier said than done, but if you ever plan to be truly happy in life you're going to have to follow this time-tested advice... While there's nothing inherently wrong with wanting others to like you, want to hang around with you, or think highly of you, it's important that it's for the right reasons... You want to make sure that when others want to spend more time with you that it's because they enjoy being around the genuine YOU... Remember, you can only fake it for so long before inside you start to become down, depressed, or feel like life has no meaning... On today's #CabralConcept 521 we explore this topic of why you don't need the approval of others if you want to have a happy healthy life - Enjoy the show! - - - Show notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/521 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral  

We're back with our 2nd HouseCall of the weekend and I'm excited to share this brand new Q&A with you... Let's get started! Monique: Hi Dr. Cabral! Ive been loving learning about my own health from you, following my plan and listening to this amazing podcast, but now I'm curious about my moms! She was diagnosed with Crohns Disease around 2010 and had her small intestine removed and part of her large as well. She was very skinny then, she was very sick. She currently eats one full meal a day and maybe something else small, and has since gained weight back and is now just slighty overweight. She drinks coffee every morning, she loves veggies but finds that it causes her to go to the bathroom too much and eats carbs like potatoes, pasta, and bread to make it so she holds her bowel movements (she used to have accidents often). She is b-12 deficient and gets the shots every month, she is also slightly anemic. She within a last few years has also grown a large hernia on her stomach. Just wondering what advice I

Welcome back to the #CabralConcept and our weekend HouseCall shows! This weekend we have some fantastic questions and I did my best to answer each an every one of them! Monique: Being a wellness client of yours and seeing my own health transform makes me want to share that with me personal training clients, I just have a question for what you would recommend for one of my clients. My client is a women (24) who had surgery on her ear a few months ago, I believe something had burst in her ear or was about to, she was on bed rest for a couple weeks taking lots of antibiotics and other medications. She constantly gets sick when shes travels, I saw her this morning after flying out of state this weekend and she had said she lost her voice and couldn't breathe when she got off the plane, other times she has gotten a pneumonia. She is constantly stressed from full time school (which she just graduated so that stressor is gone for now) and full time managing a bank. We work on mediation and stretching, i've suggested

200 scientists and medical doctors joined together to express the dangers of the chemicals in antibacterial soap (and toothpaste!).

One of the amazing things about the human body is its ability to withstand the processed foods, beverages, polluted air, and other toxins we ask it to deal with... Our liver, kidneys, skin, and lungs have a remarkable built-in detoxification mechanism that can allow us to stay healthy... This is why no matter what symptoms you struggle with there is hope as long as you follow a specific health plan that takes advantage of your body's innate ability to heal...
