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

There are times when your health or weight loss issues can be quite complicated... But more times than not, I've found that there can be just a couple of systems out of balance, which are holding you back from your goals... For example, all of the different health issues on today's show all seem unrelated, but believe it or not, they could all be a symptom of one missing mineral... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 592 to see how many symptoms can all just different be different manifestations of the same imbalance and how to fix the list stated above - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/592 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral  

Have you ever wanted to just give it all up and just run away? If you've ever felt this way, you're not alone - It happens to most of us more than we care to admit... However, sometimes we misunderstand this feeling for what our deepest feelings are really trying to tells us... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 591 on why you don't need to escape or run away from it all and what those feelings really mean - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/591 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral  

Welcome back to this weekend's 2nd Cabral HouseCall! I'm so happy to have you back and we have more amazing community questions to answer, so let's get started! Paula: Hi doc. Very pleased with the info and insights discussed on your podcast. My question is in regards to chemotherapy. My father (61 yo) was diagnosed with a bladder tumor which was surgically removed 2 months ago. A week ago (without having fully recovered from the surgery and still using a catheter to urinate), he started a 6-cycle-long chemo protocol: Each cycle lasting 3 weeks with Gemcitabine 3x/cycle and Cisplatin 1x/cycle. Upon the first application of Cisplatin, the side effects were severe, ranging from headaches, to lack of appetite, weight loss, joint and back pain and constant nausea and brain fog. Needless to say, he dreads continuing treatment and has been following a low-carb diet when he does eat. We would like for him to go full-on ketogenic (based of Dr. Seifried's work) and compliment with other therapies. However, an alternat

Thank you for joining me this weekend on the Cabral HouseCalls! I'm happy to have you and can't wait to share our community's questions with you now: Jen: Hi Dr. Cabral I am experiencing Brain Fog, joint pain in my knees, some numbness in my arms when I am sleeping, lower back pain, bloating, fatigue to a point of unmotivated to do anything, especially after eating, and some constipation. I do sit at work a lot but I walk on my lunch hour and I try to do workout videos with weights during the week as well. What could all of this be a sign of and what can I do about it? Thank you, Jen   Lizbeth: Hi Dr. Cabral, Around march, I gained about 12 lbs out of nowhere. I went from 120 lbs to 132. and it seemed as if it had happened literally overnight. I am only 5'2" so that is a huge change in my body. I have always kept a clean diet, with maybe a couple cheat days. And I have always been extremely active, working out 5 to 6 days a week. So I sense something was wrong. At first I didn't notice the gain right away. I

What if there was a vitamin that could not only decrease your stress, and increase your energy, but also boost your mood? What if I also told you that this vitamin also protected your cardiovascular system, nervous system, liver, and even helped to prevent dimentia... Would you be interested? I think most of us would answer yes to that question, especially since this is also one of those vitamins that I can become depleted through increased exercise, poor nutrition, weak digestion, and stressful life events...  The great news is that it's easy to get an inexpensive to take in on today's Cabral concept 588 I'd like to share all those anti-stress, energy, and mood boosting benefits with you - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/588 - - - Get Your Question Amswered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral  

Our current cultural philosophy says that we need to continue to push forward even when our bodies are signaling us to stop and slow down... So when I'm asked if you should workout when tired, I often have to share advice that may run contrary to popular belief... However, one thing I typically recommend people to do is not to skip their regular workout, but instead simply modify it for that day... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 587 for exactly how to modify your workout and when to skip your exercise when you're exhausted - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/587 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral      

There seems to be some confusion over inflammation as something that is bad for our body... Inflammation is not something to try to squelch, reduce, or avoid unless it is a life saving situation... Believe it or not, inflammation is your friend! It's a natural healing process and it's trying to tell you something... It's telling you something is wrong at a deeper level and that something must be rebalanced before something else goes really wrong... This is why you should never ignore inflammation or try to suppress it...

Within the next decade the new statistics state that 1 in 2 will get cancer in their lifetime... This is a travesty of where our values have gone in society. Instead of asking why we are seeing such an insane spike, we focus on how can we find a pharmaceutical cure... It makes no sense at all, but it is ultimately the reality that many people will face unless they begin to detoxify and follow certain healthy habits to combat the over 77,000 man made toxins in the environment... At the top of that list sits a common staple, called sugar. Learning how and why to remove this one item can be the catalyst you need to keeping you and your family healthy and safe...

I find it interesting that at times a lot of what my consultations turn into is helping people on the psychological side of healing... Originally, I thought my private practice would be more of a straight forward interpretation of Functional Medicine lab testing and Personalized Wellness Plan designs... But what I've realized is that in order to help someone truly heal, you must treat the individual and not the dis-ease... Often times, this means teaching people how to lower stress, overcome adversity, and rise above life's numerous challenges... One of the ways to do this is by (re)discovering your gift in life and on today's #CabralConcept 584 I'll teach you the 3 simple questions to discovering yours - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/584 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral  

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...
