A few years back barefoot training (not wearing shoes while working out or running) began to catch fire all over the world... And while there are many pros to not wearing shoes while running I explained back on episode 103 that just switching to barefoot running can be potentially very harmful... Today though, I'd like to share with you the top 7 benefits I see to working out (resistance training/classes) without shoes. I'll also share some tips we use in my practice to help people get the most out of this type of training...

Most people are aware of the normal food allergy and sensitivity reactions such as skin rashes, hives, or at worst anaphylaxis... But did you know that there are quite a number of other food sensitivity reactions that are a bit more hidden... The reason I say that is because these reactions can happen days later or show up as symptoms that may seem completely unrelated to the foods you ate... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 502 for the 5 "sneaky" food sensitivity symptoms that you may not be aware of - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/502 - - - Get your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral  

Anxiety and mood disorders affect more than 40 million people in just the US alone... Anxiety, OCD, Panic Attacks, Social Anxiety, Depression and PTSD are both mental and physical health issues that can hold you back from reaching your full potential in life... My goal is to make sure you don't have to live with these debilitating issues your entire life and cannabinoids are one example of plant-based healing modalities that has shown a lot of promise... On today's #CabralConcept 501 I'm going to share the science with you in a very approachable way so that you can begin to understand how CBDs can be used to calm the mind and body so that you can feel free and alive again - Enjoy the show!  - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/501 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral  

Without a doubt the hardest part about taking action on our new goal or dream is that we have to start back again at ground zero... This can be intimidating to think that you may have to leave your current comfort zone and go after a new career, relationship, body transformation, or wellness goal for the "first time" again... The good news is that starting from scratch can often times be a blessing - It allows us to wipe the slate clean and start fresh... And, it can actually be a huge source of motivation and excitement when done right! Join me on today's celebratory #CabralConcept 500 as we outline where to start and how not to get overwhelmed as you begin your new journey - Enjoy the show! - - -  Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/500 - - -  Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral    

Welcome back to our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! We have some amazing questions lined up for you today, so let's get started: Amanda: Hi Dr. Cabral. Love the show. Last September I switched birth control contraceptives. I had been on the pill for about 10 years. I switched to the cooper IUD (paragard). I've had spotting almost every single month since the switch. I was told this was normal, however, I didn't expect it to last this long. Is there anything I can do to help stop the spotting?  Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral, is it fine to start taking probiotics after a few weeks of a decent candida cleanse even if you are still experiencing candida symptoms, i.e. bloating, gas etc; is it usual to still experience the symptoms until you start on probiotics or should you completely wait or avoid probiotics until those symptoms are fully gone? I also wondered what your take is on the controversial probiotic Enterococcus faecalis (found in Threelac/Fivelac)? Learnt so much thanks for your amazing podcast! Amanda:

I'm excited to bring you our first Cabral #HouseCall of the weekend where I share answers top our community's wellness, weight loss and anti-aging questions! Here are today's Q&A topics: Jodi: Hi Dr. Cabral, Love your podcasts. I started listening about a month ago and I'm learning lots. What are your thoughts on the new fascia blaster that is being advertised to break up cellulite? I'm wondering if I should purchase one. What are other ideas to eliminate cellulite? Thanks, Jodi Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral, my mom and I both have little red dots, primarily on our arms. Some are the size of a pin head and some like the tip of a ball point pen. They look like red freckles. My mom has had them all my life and I've had them for at least 20 years. Any idea what causes these and how to get rid of them? Thank you so much for any light you can shed on this topic. Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral -I love your podcasts and appreciate the amount of helpful information you give on a daily basis! Two questions: 1. You mentioned i

Our #FridayReview today is dedicated to the one mineral that most people are missing... Every year I run over a thousand Functional Medicine lab tests in my practice and from a underlying root cause level, I see one vital element missing from people's biochemistry... Without enough stores of this mineral, anxiety, insomnia, restlessness, heart arrhythmia's, fatigue, skin issues, headaches, and many other health conditions can be difficult to overcome...

The challenge amongst health & fitness experts is trying to recommend a program that best works for the greatest amount of people... For some people, working out while in a fasted state can work quite well. But for others it spells disaster... Although I've shared on a previous podcast if you should skip breakfast and workout, today I want to bring you new research that may just have found a happy medium...

Right now, statistics show 1 out of every 3 people will get cancer in their lifetime... And by the year 2030, that number will increase to 1 out if 2. Just as bad, the cost of getting cancer set you back over $100,000 in "treatments"... These are some scary stats that we need to start doing something about right now. And, one of the best ways to help prevent cancer in the first place is by what we choose to put in our mouth... On today's #CabralConcept 494 I'm going to share with you my "Top 7 Cancer Fighting Foods" that you can consume on a daily basis to help you take one more step to fight back against getting cancer - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/494 - - - Get Your Questions Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral  

Although it's not very well known one of the main drivers for success is how you speak to yourself... This refers to the non-verbal, as well as the words spoken out loud where you're either building yourself up or putting yourself down... Most of the time we're completely unaware of this self-talk that is always taking place, but the truth is that until we get this sun-conscious speak to work for us we may be destined to never fully reach our potential... Tune into today's #CabralConcept for the most dangerous phrase most people use that must be removed from your vocabulary (and your children's) - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/493 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral  

Thank you for joining us for the 2nd day of our Cabral HouseCalls! Here is today's community Q&A: Shawn: Hi Dr Cabral, Can you recommend a protocol to heal a tear around the area of the anal sphincter. It was likely caused by poor diet choices and major constipation. I've cleaned up my diet (no wheat, dairy, etc), but the wound does reopen every few months or so. Lisa: Hi Dr. Cabral, Loving your podcast and the time you put into it to help so many! I have a couple questions, what cookbook or resources (instagram, pinterest) does your wife use when cooking for the family? This would help me so much! My other question is, I have been on a vegan diet (80 percent raw) for 1 year hoping to heal my tongue problem. I know you have talked about this in the past and Im ordering your bacteria overgrowth supplements to see if this will help. If I do not eat ANY sugar (not even fruit sugar for the last 3 months) why cant I starve the bacteria and get rid of the white coating on my tongue? Thank you so much!! Jen: Hi

Welcome back! Today we'll be starting Part 1 of this weekend's Cabral #HouseCalls where we answer our community's questions. Here are today's questions: Kerry: Please give me your thoughts on rice flour (looking for gluten free options) I was tempted to buy sprout brown rice flour but remembered that its recommended to have rice sparingly due to the natural arsenic in it. Is this something I should limit or use at all? Anon: Hi Dr. Cabral, What is your take on fibroids? I performed a quick search for previous podcasts on this topic and didn't see anything come up. I was diagnosed with two 11-14 cm fibroids in October 2016, which were symptomatic (pelvic pain, heavy periods, discomfort from working out, etc.). After visiting my gynecologist, I was told that I would need to have an open myomectomy to have them removed, especially if I want to have children. I am a 35 year old African American women with no children, but plans to have children. Long story short, I opted to go the holistic route of shrinking the

This allows you to get a different perspective and hear information in a new way that can help you improve your overall health and wellness...

In the very near future you'll hear more about the power of Functional Medicine Testing in the media... Although it's been around for decades, unfortunately many people haven't been exposed to a resource that very well may be the catalyst that helps them achieve their wellness, weight loss, or anti-aging goals... The reason I'm so passionate about this is that Functional Medicine lab testing is what helped me figure out the underlying root causes for why I was feeling sick even when the "best doctors" in the world couldn't tell me what was wrong with me... You see, when you're only looking at your blood work you're never getting the full picture. This is why looking deeper into your gut health, adrenals, thyroid, hormones, and other systems of the body is so important... So on today's #CabralConcept 488, I'm going to explain 3 popular Functional Medicine lab tests, what they are, what they test for, and why one of them may just be what you're looking for - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabra

Some people are desperately seeking medical help trying to figure out what is wrong with them... The problem is that they are looking to be told they have some name of a "disease" that they can then hang their hat on and finally feel like their pain and suffering is justified... Although I've been through this myself and I truly understand this longing for an answer, the problem is that being diagnosed with a disease is one of the worst things that can happen to you... The reason I say this is due to the fact that you will then be medicated and most likely given no alternative to ever coming off those drugs - You'll be sentenced to a life of "disease." Tune into today's controversial #CabralConcept 487 for a look into this dilemma and how to overcome "the delusion of disease" while finding true long-term relief for your health issues - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/487 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral  

Sometimes the thought of running away from it all is very enticing... It's caused many a person to daydream about moving to a quiet island and living out the rest of their days in a state of perpetual relaxation... This idea can be a draw, but will it actually make you happy?  On today's #CabralConcept 486 we explore this concept of happiness and many others before finally pinning down why happiness seems to be so elusive - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/486 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral  

Thank you for joining us for Day 2 of our weekend community Q&A! We have 7 more excellent questions to answer and so let's get right into them! Anon: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thanks so much for all the time you take to help educate all the listeners, you have made an amazing impact on my life. My questions are, I know I clearly have a fungal and possible candida overgrowth and have for several years but just was left with no answers as to why or how to fix them. I have had toe fungus for several years off and on and couldn't understand or get it to go away permenanty. I would on occasion get a good fresh nail to grow in on my big toe right foot and then a few months later find it sore and overcome again by fungus! Anyway, I know I need to do the Candida Protocol but I am currently nursing my 11 month old son. I would like to start this asap but I fear to do anything while I'm nursing, should I wait until I'm finished or would it be safe to start? My other question is, I do have saline breast implants and will be ge

Welcome back to the Cabral HouseCall! Today is day 1 of our community Q&A and I'm excited to be answering these specific questions: Jen: Hi Dr. Cabral, Your weekend podcasts when you answer listener questions are quickly becoming some of my favorites. I'm learning answers to all sorts of questions I didn't even know I had! And I really like how you reference back to older podcasts for more information. Needless to say, I think your podcast is great! Do you have any suggestions for a natural way to cure razor burn/shave rash? I seem to perpetually get it around my bikini area and occasionally in two small spots in my armpits, same spot under each arm. I've tried using every type of shave lotion/gel I know to exist, from natural ones at my local health food stores, to the chemically ones found at the big box stores, without much luck. I read online that coconut oil can help (it's like a go-to cure-all for just about everything) but it didn't do anything for me other than make that area of my body greasy. An
