We're back with our 2nd Cabral #HouseCall of the weekend and I'm happy to have you back with us! Here are today's community questions: Melissa: Dr. Cabral, I enjoy listening to your podcast and thank you for all of the wonderful information that you provide. After having my third baby three years ago via c-section, I have had significant pain in my stomach after eating meals. This began occurring 6 weeks post-delivery and does not seem to be related to any specific food. It typically occurs within 30 minutes after a meal and can last for hours. I am extremely bloated, and am 40 pounds overweight even though I eat a very healthy diet (around 1200-1400 calories daily of fresh produce) and exercise daily. I have had a multitude of tests - gallbladder, ultrasounds of liver, blood tests, colonoscopy, endoscopy, food allergy tests - all of which come back normal, with my only diagnosis as constipation. After eliminating dairy and added sugars and taking Mirilax daily, my symptoms resolved. I was even able to eat a

Hello and thank you for tuning into this weekend's #HouseCall Q & A show! Here are today's amazing community questions! Brittany: Hi Dr. Cabral! I am getting ready to start your 7 day Dr. Cabral Detox and I was wondering: Do the limited calories on days 1 and 2 of the detox (200 calories each day) still allow for autophagy? I've read that you have to eliminate calories entirely for a period of time for autophagy to engage; is this true? I am just wondering if this detox can also serve as an intermittent fast, or if I need to incorporate a water only fast separately from the detox at a later date for maximum health results long term. Many thanks! - Brittany   Randa: Hello Was wondering if you thought new chapter vitamins are good quality in your opinion. Also could you tell me what macro breakdown you suggest to someone who wants to maintain there weight and what macro breakdown (if different) for someone who has 20 pounds to lose. Thanks -love your podcast   Michele L: Hi Dr. Cabral, Hope you are well. I

Back on episode 354 I brought you the "Top 15 Nutritional Supplements" Prescribed by Functional Medicine Doctors and health practitioners... It was one of our most popular shows and although I agree with the vast majority of those supplements and use them all in my practice, I did feel it was missing something... Many of those products are great to relieve symptoms, but I'm more interested in healing at a deeper level, which is why today I want to share with you a few nutritional supplements you can use daily to rebalance your body for optimal health & well-being! Tune into today's #CabralConcept #413 for my Top 10 Supplements that I use in my Naturopathic & Functional Medicine practice - Enjoy the show!  - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/413 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral  

Right now I want to share with you the massive benefits you get from making exercise a part of your weekly routine... Remember, just like good nutrition the results you get are cumulative and are best seen overtime. Now I know that you want those same results yesterday, but at the same time I'd prefer you keep them for life ; ) Plus, many of these benefits carry over to improving your mood, hormones, brain, function and other internal mechanisms you can't physically see a change in... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 412 as I share the 7 benefits to exercise other than looking good - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/412 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral  

Low carb diets work. There's no doubt about that and the research shows that it helps with inflammation, regulating blood sugar, lowering insulin, and losing weight... What you don't hear though is that low carb diets don't work forever... And that's the issue. Most diets will work in the short-term, but what you really need to be successful and to skip the inevitable frustration is a long-term plan... So while going low-carb for up to 12 weeks can work, you need to know what to do after that in order to keep your thyroid, adrenals, mood, energy, and metabolism strong after that point... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 411 for all the details on how to transition off of low carb diets for long term health & body transformation goals - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/411 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral  

It seems like we're creating names for as many diseases as there are people on this planet... This is unfortunate because each "disease" is then matched up with a medication. And often times, the medication is for life and the patient is given no hope of recovery... But there is an alternative. That alternative is the belief (and fact) that what we call a chronic health condition is nothing more than a set of symptoms that rise to the surface... In Natural Medicine, we know that the symptoms are not the disease, but represent "dis-ease" within the body. Therefore, the only way to ever fully get well again and reverse any health condition you may suffer from is to find the underlying root causes... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 41o to find the 3 triggers for disease. Once you know those triggers you will then be able to work backwards to finally heal - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/410 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral  

Before you ever get healthy, lose the weight, or enjoy the success in life you've been secretly wishing for, you must begin where every success story has ever started... And that place resides in your mind. You can have the best plan, the greatest guru, or the most caring coach, but it is your belief system that will ultimately carry you through to the finish line... In my practice, I've seen cancer and mystery illness patients be given no hope by conventional medicine only to walk away from their past lives of sickness and disease and enter a life of health and happiness... If you have a goal, or want more for life, I urge you to build the proper foundation for your dreams by learning how to open your mind to a better life - Tune into today's #CabralConcept 409 for the details.

Welcome back to our 2nd Cabral #HouseCall of the weekend! We have 5 more amazing community questions, so let's get right into them: Cassi: Hi Dr. Cabral - thank you so, so much for providing all the knowledge and information you share with is and most of all for free. It is so inspiring to see a person do something for the better of society and not only to make a "quick buck." My question is regarding the book The China Study. I know you reviewed this a long time ago, but can't find which episode and was wondering if you could re-review. I'm currently reading the book and just want to know what you think and if every study in it seems trustworthy, etc. Thank you! Aleks: Hi! I was wondering if you had a good probiotic recommendation on the market? I'm a student and need to be smart about my purchases :) Taylor: Hi Dr. Cabral, I so enjoy your show-it fuels my passion for continuing healing for my body. Through testing it has been shown that my body has the need for Mercury detox, I hve mineral difecency, parasi

Dawn: As a consumer, every podcast I listen to, I get intrigued by another vitamin?  then I think I should add to my diet?  then I don't know if I'm taking too much stuff?  Like, I need more iron, zinc and magnesium.  I'm 47, getting older, skin and hair changing - that freaks me out.  So, I want lots of Biotin, Iron, Zinc - what about fish oil?  What can I do to be looking younger longer or at least try?  I know this is same for so many people - you get caught in all the marketing hype and it plays on your emotions.     Dr. Cara: Hi Dr. Cabral, I wanted to let you know i really appreciate all the continuing education you’re doing for patients and doctors alike. I feel like I learn more from your podcast than I have attending post doctoral seminars! My question is how do you get patients to comply with your protocols? In my practice I seem to have difficulty with patients following the food and supplement recommendations. Any advice would be appreciated and thank you in advance!   Maura: What do you think abo

Every Friday I like to bring you my "best of the week" and review products, research, books, supplements, and foods that I use in my #Boston practice to help people get the results they want... On today's #FridayReview the first item we're going to be talking about is the "Meat Free Monday" philosophy and nutrition tips on learning to be more environmentally and sustainability minded...  Next up, we'll be reviewing a popular book that is currently making a resurgence. It also has a very different outlook than conventional psychotherapy and may just be the mindset you need to achieve all your goals and move forward in life... And last, but not least, I'll be reviewing a plant that is now being used in both natural and allopathic medicine to treat cough and cold symptoms.

As a result, they miss out on all the benefits offered by using other pieces of fitness equipment that work their muscles in new ways leading to noticeable changes in their physique...

In order to get well, lose weight, or enjoy increased vitality it's important to master your metabolism... One of the best ways to do that is to prevent snacking or overeating by learning to balance your leptin and ghrelin hormones... It is the delicate balance between these 2 hormones that allows you to feel normal hunger signals, but also turn off excessive food cravings and binge eating...

It's easy to confuse the energy surge that comes along with caffeine consumption as something that's beneficial or good for us... There's no doubt it feels great (for most people) in the short-term, but the long-term effects can wear and tear on your nervous system, adrenals, thyroid, and liver...

With goals come expectations. But, these expectations may or may not be based in reality... For some reason we've been conditioned in our Western vision of reality that achieving our goals is supposed to be a straight forward shot to success... The problem is that the real world isn't set up this way, and as a result we become frustrated due to an incongruence with our preconceived thoughts... The solution is to realize that true happiness does not in fact lie in the attainment of anything, but rather in the process itself and how we should view that process...

Every few weeks I'll be adding a BONUS REPLAY show from a previous podcast that was voted by our listeners as one of their favorites (by number of downloads)! The bonus replay will never replace a weekend Cabral HouseCall, but is added as an additional podcast... If you've already listened in to this show I highly recommend a 2nd listen to reinforce what you've already learned and possibly even pick up another tip or two you may have missed! Here is today's show: How to Flush Inflammation from Your Body! Most people view inflammation as something bad, but I have a much different view of it… The media has made inflammation out to be the bad guy and something that is supposed to be wiped out through pharmaceutical drugs or nutritional supplements… However, what they haven’t told you is that inflammation is actually a warning sign of some type of tissue trauma that has happened in the body… This means that if you simply try to mask the symptoms of inflammation you are still not treating the hidden root cause of

Thank you for coming back to tune into our 2nd day of the weekend Cabral HouseCalls! We have another amazing 3 questions today and here they are: Chad: Hi Dr. Cabral, You indicated you live in the downtown area of a major city. I do as well. Do you have any issues with nighttime traffic noise? If so, what do you use to mitigate its impact on your sleep? I've tried earplugs and sound machines, but am wondering if you have any better solutions. Cheryl: Hi, Dr. Cabral. First, I'd like to express my gratitude to you for providing such solid and thought-provoking advice! I've learned so much and have made it a practice to listen to your podcast every day. Now, for my question...have you ever heard of a practice called "muscle testing"? My sister-in-law is going to a naturopath who performs this kind of examination in order to tell her which foods she may be sensitive to in addition to supplements he recommends to her. He offers this service in person as well as through Skype. It sounds intriguing but is a totally

Welcome back to the weekend edition of the #CabralConcept where I answer our community's questions! We have bunch of #HouseCalls to get to today and they cover some amazing questions across the board... I can't wait to share those answers with you now! Karen: My mother has had diarrhea for 14 months. She has struggled with this off and on for ten years but this is the worst yet. In the past she has taken antibiotics but it always comes back. She has lost a lot of weight and I believe is nutritionally deficient. She has tried omitting dairy, gluten, eggs, and other food items but nothing seems to make a big difference. Oddly, fresh vegetables seem to make it worse. She takes Ammodium AD every single day to be able to leave the house. Any suggestions?   Michelle: Hello again Dr. Cabral. You keep mentioning your book in your podcasts. Can you give us a date when we might expect to see it and will you be doing a "crowd sourcing" campaign so we can preorder it to help you out? I'm not sure if crowd sourcing is the

The #1 excuse for not working out is a "lack of time," but I believe that we all make time for what we see as a priority in our life... And one of the reasons we don't always make time for exercise is because we can find it boring. So, today, what I'd like to do is actually share how we change up our client's workout programs to make them more fun & motivational...
