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

Hello and welcome to Day 1 of our weekend Cabral #HouseCalls! I'm looking forward to answering more of our community's questions today and we have some great ones! Here are today's topics: Alex: Hello Dr Cabral! I was wondering if you've ever done an episode on adaptogens. I've been reading about them and wondering if they are worth investing in. If possible, could you go over their effects/pros/con/benefits for the body? If you've already covered them, let me know what episode, and I'll check it out. Thanks for all you do. Alex   Andy: Hi Dr. Cabral, Our son, 19, is having problems with his wisdom teeth. They recommend he has them extracted. He has a needle phobia and has syncope with all needles, injections, IV. The receptionist at the oral surgeon mentioned he may need nitrous oxide before they put in an IV. I've read nitrous oxide can be detrimental to ones health especially if the MTHFR snps is in play. We don't know that though. He recently did the hair, tissue, mineral analysis and organic acids tests

We're back with another #FridayReview bringing you the very best of the week on all things wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging! The first review is focused on a book that people love to hate! It discusses the many hidden symptoms of gluten-sensitivity and why you may be suffering from its effects... Next up, I share some Functional Medicine lab data from my practice and let you know the scary results of how many people are truly vitamin D deficient - even in the summer time! And finally, we wrap up with a full discussion on how much sun you really need, how do you know when you got enough, and what are some natural sunscreens that won't give you cancer...

I often get exercise questions asking if your workouts should change based on the "season?" The reasoning behind the questions is typically around goal setting and how you should be training to develop your ideal physique... Believe it or not, for over 100 years there has been a specific "cyclical training cycle" that has rotated with the seasons based on your yearly body transformation goals... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 510 to learn how you can change up your workouts to fit the season and make sure your body "peaks" at just the right time - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/510 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral  

Personally, I don't think it's realistic or even necessary to walk around everyday of your life at your ideal perfect goal weight, or body... That would require that you exclude all of your favorite "cheat foods" on a weekly basis and that you're strictly adhering to an exercise program... What I do believe is that we should all stay within 5-10 lbs maximum of our healthy goal weight, and then when desired we can easily lose that extra weight within a week or two... This is a more relaxed, enjoyable, and realistic way to live in my opinion... For details on how to lose that 5-10 lbs quickly before a big event, photo shoot, wedding, beach day, or vacation, tune into today's #CabralConcept 509 where I share with you my private client's Bathing Suit Body Diet plan - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/509 - - - Bathing Suit Body Diet Plan: http://StephenCabral.com/store - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral  

No matter what you may be currently suffering from, it almost always ties back to your gut health... The reason for this is that 80% of your entire immune system lies inside and surrounding your approximately 28 feet of digestive tract (intestines)... Plus, if your gut health is imbalanced you will not properly break down and assimilate your food - leading to malabsorption and nutrient deficiencies... AND, if you have any increased intestinal permeability (a.k.a. "leaky gut") you will spill proteins, yeast, and bacteria into your bloodstream causing a host of issues (and symptoms)! This is why it's so important to ensure you have proper gut health. I urge you to tune into today's #CabralConcept 508 to see if you have the very specific signs & symptoms of leaky gut - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/508 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral  

Until just a few hundred years ago it was vitally important that we looked out into the world with a comparative eye... It would have often been life or death situations, and therefore, crucial that we would be constantly judging and comparing ourselves to our environment... The issue is that in 2017 we're still stuck with this "compare and contrast" mentality - And that thought process is causing massive anxiety, depression, poor self-image, and a competitive non-stop lifestyle... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 507 for all the details on why you should never compare yourself to others and what to do instead - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/507 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

Today's community questions are: Tanya: ill be quick! a couple food questions: -black garlic good health benefit?

(not cups or ounces which are harder to visualize) thank oyu   Anonymous: Dear Dr. Cabral, I would like to express my sincere gratitude for the work that you and your team are doing. I can’t thank you enough for the positive impact you have had on my life, which is carrying over to my family’s life as well. My 16 year old son now starts his day with your “Blue Crush” smoothie, instead of a sugar filled yogurt! A little history regarding my question: I am 45 year old female, diagnosed with SIBO in May 2015, then Candida in

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral #HouseCalls! We have some amazing questions this weekend starting with these 6 community questions today: Emily: Hi Dr Cabral, I need to get all four of my wisdom teeth extracted in a month. What can I do before and after surgery to help me heal faster and detox from the anesthesia? Thanks!   MariEllen: I went to the doctor for trouble swallowing. Got tested for my thyroid and had an ultrasound and all was okay. They want me to go to a GI for maybe an esophagus issue, but I have gone to so many doctors I don't want to waste any more money or time. I often feel the need to burp. Could this just be acid reflux? And I am not interested in taking a prescription, is there any thing else I can take for this? Hi doctor Cabral, I have written in previously a week ago and have done some research with your help. You have not answered my question yet and I know you guys generally have a few weeks lag and it's no problem but I have been thinking... would I be wasting my time doing the c

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...

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...

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...

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...
