Right now, "intermittent fasting" has become one of the most popular diet trends in the health & fitness industry... The problem is that it's being marketed as an "all-for-one" approach, which is anything but the truth... Like any diet plan, intermittent fasting has its downsides and by skipping breakfast you may just be doing more harm than good... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 397 for why you may not want to fast until lunch - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/397 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral  

Mushrooms were one of the first forms of "herbal medicine" ever used and to this day are still one of the most researched and prized natural supplements... Literally, the potency of mushrooms, the beta-glucans and other properties they contain are being studied to fight cancer, inflammation, fatigue, blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, and weight gain, as well as for the their longevity nutrients... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 396 to discover the benefits of mushrooms and which specific mushroom is used to treat what you may be suffering from - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/396 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral  

Goals are a funny thing. We all have them and we want to strive for more out of life, but we don't always want to do the work required to get there... Part of it is that we can get too comfortable with where we are right now even if it's not a good place. The reason is that it's become routine and although not where we want to be we at least know this familiar ground... And let's face it, to get to that next level in life we're going to have to change. Something needs to be different in order to get a different result... A lot of the time too, many of us know what needs to be done to make that change to get that new result, but we're not always willing to make that trade.

I hope you enjoyed yesterday's 1st edition of the weekend Cabral #HouseCalls! Today, we have 3 more community questions so let's get started: Deborah: Dr. Stephen Cabral, You (and your team) inspire me and thank you for staying inspired so you can continue to give so freely to people. I'm interested in the wholistic functional medicine approach. I want to begin pursuing foundational training to be able to offer care to others in need. I've looked at the RD route but want an education that incorporates prescribing methods of healing found naturally in the earth primarily through nutrition [similar to a naturopathic doctor but I don't want to become a doctor]. Do you know which field(s) of medicine would best help me do that? Side question: I get bruises easily when I bump into things. Do you know a natural remedy to heal bruises effectively? Btw tried your Detox for the first time..twas grand :)   Melissa: Hi Dr. Cabral - first of all thank you so much for everything you do! My question is this: my husband (ag

The weekend Cabral #HouseCalls are back and we have some amazing questions lined up for today and tomorrow! Here is today's community Q&A: Sharlona: I am new to your site and plan and have downloaded the welcome package. I am now trying to access the Functional Medicine Testing and receiving the following message: 404 Error We’re sorry but the page you’re looking for has gone missing… we’ll look for it, but in the mean time please use the search bar above to type in a keyword for what you are looking for. Is there another way I can access this? Thank you for your time. I am very interested in your program.    CC: Hi Stephen, I recently read about Professor Birkmayer NADH and it's effectiveness for energy. I was interested in this for adrenal support (in addition to other herbs I am taking and of course the Cabral detox) but wondered if NADH is really worth the excessively high price point? Massively value your podcasts, learned so much - many thanks!   Anna: Hi Dr Cabral! I am a healthy, 35 year old but r

I hope you've enjoyed a great & productive week and now you're looking forward to the weekend ahead!  On this week's #FridayReview I am bringing some of the latest research on nutritional supplements (Orthomolecular Medicine) and specifically why you need to keep vitamin K in your daily regimen... Next up, I'll be talking about over a dozen benefits of cayenne pepper (some are very surprising) and how you can take it in any one of its 3 forms... And finally, I'll be sharing one of my favorite "old school" books on goal setting and why I believe this book may just be the one you've been looking for - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/392 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral  

Not all athletes are born with gifted genetics - Some have to scultp that lean, defined body that helps them win at their sport... That's good news for the rest of us. It means if they can do it then there must be a formula we can use to copy their success...

To be honest there are so many balancing acts within your body in order for you to lose weight effortlessly. However, one factor is far more important than all of them, since it is the underlying root cause that if not rebalanced will never allow you to lose weight or keep it off forever...

I know this may be hard to believe, but almost everyone I meet with wellness or weight loss issues has some type of food sensitivity... Typically it goes undiscovered by conventional medicine doctors because the food reaction doesn't happen immediately after eating and often the symptoms aren't what you'd expect a food reaction to look like... Check out today's #CabralConcept 389 for the 10 signs you may a hidden food sensitivity - Enjoy the show! - - -  Show Notes http://StephenCabral.com/389 - - -  Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral  

I believe it was Peter Drucker that eloquently said that there is no such thing as time management - there is only life management... I think he was right. We all get the same 24 hours everyday and it's how wisely we use those hours (or not) that allows us to get ahead in life or fall further behind... The beautiful thing is that at any point in our life we can decide to turn things around. We can choose to get more out of life. We just have to think differently...

We're back with our 2nd Cabral #HouseCall of the weekend! I really enjoyed answering yesterday's questions and looking forward to tackling today's Q&A... So let's get started! Tracy: Hi Doctor Cabral. Thank you thank you for all the info. I was wondering how you feel about consuming coconut water daily. I try and drink a 16oz bottle of organic harmless harvest coconut water every day (supposedly this brand is closest to the real thing and I truly enjoy it) 1. Does this count towards my daily water intake? 2. is it too much sugar at 28g, but since it is natural sugar I feel it is ok? 3. are there many benefits of drinking quality coconut water? Background, I do suffer from SIBO and many other intestinal and skin issues. Thank you. Jenn: Hi there! I had also sent this email to the support@stephencabral.com address too and never got a response. I am very interested in trying out the daily shake, but I need to make sure there is no caffeine, even green tea, in the product. My body is very sensitive to it and

I'm really looking forward to today's Cabral #HouseCall! We have so many amazing questions and I think the answers may even surprise you in some cases... Let's get started! Nikki: What is the best test for Optimal Health? Lizzie: 2 questions for the wonderful doctor cabral: 1.What are you feelings on castor oil packs for detoxing? How do you do this simply? Life is already so busy, I was thinking I could do this at the same time as a coffee enema that I do once a week now. Good idea? Does this help with hormone issues/ovarian cysts? 2. What is the #1 oil for facial scars, I am trying to make my own acne serum for my face, back and arms, I did a lot of picking, and now need to eradicate the scarring that is so awful. Thank you! Chloe: Hi Dr Cabral, thanks for your podcast on adrenal thyroid, looking forward to more. So I have started on a journey to repair my adrenals over the past month as much as possible using adaptogenic herbs (Gaia herbs) etc and just started taking natural thyroid support (also Gaia herb

Given the fact that the air we breathe is literally the most important thing to our health I always find it odd that we allow so many chemicals to float around unseen in the atmosphere around us... Invisible gases, allergens, dust mites, and other chemicals literally pollute our air and poison our lungs and blood causing many of the immune responses responsible for what we label dis-ease processes... Although we can't always run away from toxic environment we've inherited, on today's #CabralConcept 385 I will share with you how to make your world and the air you breathe a whole lot cleaner & safer - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/385 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral  

Muscle stiffness, soreness, and joint inflammation are one of those nagging pains that travel with you everywhere you go and can really be debilitating in life... I find muscle and joint pain to be one of those topics you never think about until it happens to you-  But when it does it's all you can think about it...

We've all been led to believe that we crave certain foods because those are just our taste bud's preferences, but the truth lies a lot deeper than that... While it is true that people prefer certain foods over others, sometimes it's not because of a taste preference, but instead due to a physiological need of your body. Tune into today's #CabralConcept 383 to discover what your food cravings really mean and what you should do about it - Enjoy the show! - - -  Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/383 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral  

In my practice I see people suffering from both adrenal fatigue and low thyroid issues, but often times they may have been previously diagnosed incorrectly... Today, what I'd like to do is share with you the specific "traits" of how adrenal fatigue differs from low thyroid even though many of the symptoms appear very similar... For example, someone with adrenal or chronic fatigue can be tired all day, but then have difficulty sleeping. Whereas, someone with low thyroid will be tired most of the day, but still have no problem sleeping at night as well... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 382 for more details, as well as a specific test you can run to know for sure which one it is that you may be suffering from - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/382 - - - Get Your Question Answered:  http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral  

Thanks for tuning back into our 2nd Cabral #HouseCall of the weekend! I think you're really going to enjoy today's community Q&A so let's get started! Anon: Hi Dr. Cabral! I love your podcast. I have learned so much from you. I believe I have mild symptoms of: leaky gut, hypothyroidism, candida and food sensitivities (for which I am following a protocol through my naturopath – I am avoiding my sensitivities, cooking mostly organic low-glycemic carbs, ethical meat, good quality fats My bloating has reduced and energy is better, but I still have the following which started at 17 (when I started university) and now I am 27: dark circles under my eyes, cold hands and feet (poor circulation), hair and eyelashes thinning, weakening and falling out (hair has also been turning gray), hard to lose fat and cellulite overall, but predominantly in lower body (I feel as though I hold on to water even in my calves). I am a female, of South Asian descent, 5’3 and weigh 120 pounds approximately, live in Canada and have m

It's that time again and that means we're back with another #HouseCall weekend! On today's show we answer our community's questions on: Rebekah: Are Natural health and your consultations and labs covered by regular medical insurance? How do people pay for services in your practice? Amanda: I have been doing well GI wise, no bloating gas cramps or diarrhea. However I believe i have had a yeast infection for about a week now I figured it may just go away but it hasnt. I also have eczema popping up on my right hand where it usually is. Haven't had it since i started workig with you really so I thought that these 2 random symptoms were odd. How can I get rid of my yeast infection naturally? Shahna: Love the podcast and all of the help. Stay healthy. Quick question: is there anything unhealthy or dangerous about a plant based, vegan menu? Some sources/critics claim it is lacking in important nutrients, etc. and is thus harmful to have a diet that does not include meat at least occuasionally. Thank you Alma: Hi Dr.

I'm a big fan of Friday and one of the reasons is because I get to bring you my #FridayReview where I share some of my favorite health, wellness, fitness, and anti-aging recommendations! On today's show I review how the olive oil you're buying right now is most likely an imitation version of the real thing. I'll tell you what to look for and which brands are best to ensure you're getting the "real deal." Next up, I'll share with you how one capsule a day of a certain vitamin is dramatically reducing asthma by 30+%... Then, I review two products I love and use all the time.

After I tore my achilles tendon when I was 16 years old I had to find a different athletic outlet other than long distance running... This led me to my passion for fitness and training my body through resistance workouts, intervals, sprint triathlons, and other fun activities like rock climbing and martial arts... And out of all the routines that I've created over the years, there's one simple formula I keep coming back to. It's called the "20/20 Workout Formula" and I use it once a week to boost my metabolism and tone every muscle in my body...
