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

Welcome back to this weekend's Cabral HouseCalls! We have a biggest Q&A ver this weekend answering over 16 of our community's questions! LaSandra: Hi, Dr. Cabral. I found your podcast a few weeks ago and have been obsessively trying to catch up on previous calls. My good friend has been struggling with some neurological issues and cannot get answers from her physicians. A few months ago she had a cervical disc replacement in her neck, but her symptoms continue to worsen. She has burning sensations in her mouth, tongue, upper shoulders and head. She also feels like she has a lump in her throat. She recently found out that she has extremely high B6 levels even after quitting her multivitamin. I told her that I had heard you talk about the MTHFR gene and that it might be related. Because she can't find information on it with the Mayo Clinic, she is skeptical. She is unsure of where to go from here. Any advice you can offer would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!   Angela: Hi Dr. Cabral! First off, thank you

I hate to draw straws over which form of exercise is the best, since just getting your body moving is such an important factor in getting healthy, losing weight, and living longer... However, if you're looking to optimize your fat burning potential and get the most bang for your buck, some forms of exercise do outperform others... On today's #CabralConcept #440 I explain what burns more fat: Cardio, Intervals or Weight Training?

The one thing is common that all weight loss diets that include low carb, keto, high protein, high fat, or high fiber is that they all work by controlling blood sugar... Until you can rebalance your blood sugar and get it low enough (75-95mg/dl) you're going to have a hard to burning body fat... Not only that, your energy, mood, cravings, and other hormones aren't going to stay stable without regulating your blood glucose levels...

Turmeric, Omega-3s, and even ginger get a lot of credit as natural pain relievers, but did you know they aren't nearly as strong as some others? The beautiful thing about natural medicine is that plant based remedies used in India and and China has been used, studied, and refined over the past 6,000 years... They've stood the test of time. They work - and now they're being verified in human clinical trials...

I once believed that the goal of life was to be in a constant state of Zen... I believed this was somehow achievable and that I wouldn't be truly happy until I entered this state... Years later I realized, not only is this not achievable, it should never even be a goal...

We're continuing on with our massive Q&A this weekend on the Cabral #HouseCall! I hope you enjoyed yesterday show and you're ready to tackle another round of our community questions! Cheryl: After 25 years with autoimmune problems, I'm hearing about a new cause centering around the Epstein Barr Virus, which I had . That in effect, if you get rid of the Epstein Barr Virus, which stays hidden within cell barriers in the body , you can create wellness. That in fact, the body is not out of sync attacking itself, but is actually attacking an invading cell. Especially is noted in Hashimotos which I have, where this Epstein Barr Virus attaches itself . Do you have information on these new findings and might this be a breakthrough and how do we go about ridding ourselves of residual Epstein Barr cells. Thank you    Ellen: How do you determine so many of the recommendations you provide in your personalized weight loss analysis simply by analyzing saliva and small blood droplets. My Integrative docs have always tak

It's time to get started with our first #HouseCall of the weekend! We have so many great community questions this weekend and it's best we just dive right in! Sue: Hi, Few questions regarding cooking. I often cook with coconut oil as I hear cooking with olive oil isn't healthy? Please can you confirm if I'm doing the right thing. Also, I often heat food up I've cooked in the microwave - can you let me know what the dangers to this are?? Thanks for answering. I love your show!   Lindsey: Hi Stephen, Quick question as I know you have lots of questions. You talk about ginger tea a lot and I love ginger.. do you have a specific recipe for this tea? Thanks   Jess: Hello!! Thank you for all that your doing in the world, would you be able to talk about Miso soup? Is it healthy and beneficial to our bodies? Thanks in advance!   Brook: Hi, Dr. Cabral. For around 1.5 years my husband (23 yo) has needed to wear a breathing strip 24/7. He has suffered from asthma since he was five years old, but this is a relatively new

We've got a solid #FridayReview for you this week that runs the gambit from beating allergies to the 10th anniversary edition of an instant classic book that made mind-body medicine an approachable topic to talk about! My first review covers what I personally recommend in my practice for instant allergy relief and also how to recover from your allergic sensitivities in the long-run... Next up, I'm brining you one of the most unique olive oil companies in the world. They've literally turned the making of olive oil into a science and developed one of the first 3rd party tested products for "high-phenol" antioxidant olive oil (and it's delicious!)... I also talk briefly about my favorites fresh pressed juice I drink, and why I chose those 3 ingredients... And last, but certainly not least, I re-review a book I spoke about almost 400 episodes ago - It's groundbreaking book that's easy to read and literally shows you through simple science how your thoughts, feeling, and environment influence your DNA and its gene

Some of the best exercises in the world can actually be the most dangerous when done incorrectly... The reason for this is that although they mimic natural human movement, when the proper form isn't used your joints, tendons, and ligaments can be put at risk... Plus, when you add weight or resistance to the exercise you are greatly increasing your odds for injury whenever your technique breaks down... Check out today's #CabralConcept 433 for the top 10 most dangerous exercises and how you can avoid getting injured - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/433 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral  

If you thought probiotics was a controversial topic and considered cutting-edge wait until you hear about "prebiotics" and their potential to improve (or hurt) gut health! Prebiotics actually aren't bacteria at all, but rather the food that feeds the bacteria already in your gut... The issue is that some prebiotics are more beneficial than others - especially if you're currently dealing with IBS, candida, SIBO, or another gut based issue... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 432 for a list of the best natural prebiotics for gut health - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/432 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral  

Bowel movements are one of those taboo topics that we're not supposed to discuss... We're told they're gross, disgusting and we need to pretend they don't even happen... But the issue is that your "poop" says a lot about the health of your digestion and overall internal health... Therefore, not talking about it, or knowing "what your poop says about you" leaves you in the dark about whether your system is functioning properly... The other reason this is so important is because your gut is literally the center of your immune system, your 2nd brain, and the #1 organ in terms of your overall health since it contains your microbiome... Plus, if your gut (intestines) isn't working well then it doesn't matter how healthy the food is that you eat, since you won't be absorbing the maximum amount of nutrients possible! Tune into today's #CabralConcept 431for all the details about what healthy bowel movements should look like and what your poop says about you - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com

No matter who you are, you're going to come to a point in your life where you feel like you've hit a wall... You just feel stuck... It's that feeling you get where you know you're in a place you're not not supposed to be - The idea or vision you have for yourself is much greater... It's at this point that you have to make a choice about going after that goal of yours or not... And if you do decide to believe in yourself enough to push forward, there are 3 main ways to make a breakthrough in your life...

Welcome back to out 2nd Cabral #HouseCall of the weekend! We're picking up where we left off and I'm looking forward to sharing the answers to these community questions: Chelsea: Not sure if this is for the house call page, but I have a few questions. 1) I have vertical ridges on my fingernails that I can't seem to get rid of. I have hashimotos, Lyme, and chronic low WBC as well as chronic low BP. I'm on AIP and have been working with a functional doctor for a year but can't seem to figure out the vertical nail ridges. 2) I have a bad case of floaters in my eyes, specifically my left eye. Many times part of my vision is obstructed because of it. I've been to the eye doc and I'm 20/20 and am told floaters are normal, my functional doctor does not know what could be causing them. Your thoughts on these annoying yet telling conditions? Thank you, LOVE your podcast and IG!!!!!   Maria: Hi, I had a question regarding healthy weight gain. I'm 20 and I have always been active throughout my teenage years (I have alwa

Welcome back to our first Cabral #HouseCall of the weekend where we're answering our community's questions on all things wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging! Here is today's Q&A: Lisa: First I want to thank you for all the amazing knowledge you share for FREE! You are a one of a kind type of doctor. I follow you on Instagram and now have many friends following you as well. I'm finally all caught up with you podcast....LOVE the ALL!  You mention that you listen to Joe Rogan’s podcast and I do as well. He had Mr. XXXX on his show about the Keto diet. Mark is clearly in amazing shape and definately does not look 63 yrs old. My question is, Is a Keto Diet safe and healthy? I have worked with a doctor like you to help heal my daughters Tourettes and OCD and Im obsessed with nutrition. I am a Raw Vegan and I feel my body healing. My husband wants to eat lots of meat like Mark and Im concerned cuz of all the research about meat and cancer. I would love to hear your thoughts.    Ellen: Dr Cabral, Is it ok to ta

I'm back with another #FridayReview and today we've got some great picks for you! The first thing I share is some cutting edge anti-aging research that is actually taking place right now - These treatments have the potential to add another 10-12 years to your life! Next up, I review an enzyme supplement that very few people have heard of, but it works wonders for the immune system and inflammatory pain... And finally, I'll be reviewing 2 new wearing technology devices. One helps women time their fertility cycle, while the other looks to replace your FitBit or other health tracker with a much smaller wearable ring...

The interesting thing about goals is that almost anything can be achieved with enough time, persistence, and effort... The issue is that many of our goals have inadequate timelines, which leaves us feeling overwhelmed and anxious every time we think about them... The same holds true for any body transformation goals. You can literally change the shape of your body into any healthy form you're aiming for... You just have to make sure you set specific and measurable markers with a realistic deadline attached to them. This then allows you to track your progress and course correct along the way as needed...

There's no doubt following a low-carb diet can work wonders (temporarily) for some health conditions as I've explained in the past... The issue is that not everyone responds well to staying under 50-100g of carbohydrates per day... And when that someone (maybe you) drops their carbs too low for too long their body begins to go into a protective, low metabolic state... From a survival standpoint, this is a very good thing - But, from a body transformation and health perspective the results aren't going to make you very happy... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 425 for all the details on how Low Carb can equal Low Thyroid, which can then lead to "Hibernation Syndrome" - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/425 - - - Get Your Question Answered:   http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral  

Edgar Cayce passed away a few years ago, but what he left us with was a treasure trove of natural remedies... Those remedies are finally being studied and research has irrefutably acknowledged what ancient forms of medicine and Cayce recommended as effective healing therapies... One of those therapies involves Castor Oil and the unique properties it holds in regards to reducing inflammation and balancing certain parts of the immune system... Cayce described an ancient Ayurvedic heat pack therapy using Castor Oil, but he did it in a modern way... As someone that's used this specific therapy and seen it work in my practice, I highly recommend checking out the precise formula to make your own Castor Oil pack at home for just a few dollars...

The interesting thing about life is that you really can have and be anything you want, but you first have to know what it is that you actually want... And, maybe more importantly, you need to know who it is that you currently believe you are... You see, we've all been conditioned to believe we can achieve certain things, but not others, or that we are a "certain type of person..." This societal brainwashing causes a serious mental disconnect when it comes to the dreams and desires you have for yourself...
