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

Many people don't know this, but in ancient times (and still some places it's still practiced today) there was always a specific pre, peri, and postnatal plan. The prenatal plan focused on preparing the woman's (and man's) body for conception, while the perinatal prescription was comprised of healthy living, eating, and other recommendations while pregnant... And finally, detailed postnatal recommendations were given to ensure a healthy mom and baby after the birth... These measures included detoxification protocols, rest, specific foods to eat, and much more. And, on today's #CabralConcept 522 we explore these fertility issues, as well as how to have the healthiest pregnancy possible - enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/522 - - - Get Your Questions Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral  

I know it's easier said than done, but if you ever plan to be truly happy in life you're going to have to follow this time-tested advice... While there's nothing inherently wrong with wanting others to like you, want to hang around with you, or think highly of you, it's important that it's for the right reasons... You want to make sure that when others want to spend more time with you that it's because they enjoy being around the genuine YOU... Remember, you can only fake it for so long before inside you start to become down, depressed, or feel like life has no meaning... On today's #CabralConcept 521 we explore this topic of why you don't need the approval of others if you want to have a happy healthy life - Enjoy the show! - - - Show notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/521 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral  

We're back with our 2nd HouseCall of the weekend and I'm excited to share this brand new Q&A with you... Let's get started! Monique: Hi Dr. Cabral! Ive been loving learning about my own health from you, following my plan and listening to this amazing podcast, but now I'm curious about my moms! She was diagnosed with Crohns Disease around 2010 and had her small intestine removed and part of her large as well. She was very skinny then, she was very sick. She currently eats one full meal a day and maybe something else small, and has since gained weight back and is now just slighty overweight. She drinks coffee every morning, she loves veggies but finds that it causes her to go to the bathroom too much and eats carbs like potatoes, pasta, and bread to make it so she holds her bowel movements (she used to have accidents often). She is b-12 deficient and gets the shots every month, she is also slightly anemic. She within a last few years has also grown a large hernia on her stomach. Just wondering what advice I

Welcome back to the #CabralConcept and our weekend HouseCall shows! This weekend we have some fantastic questions and I did my best to answer each an every one of them! Monique: Being a wellness client of yours and seeing my own health transform makes me want to share that with me personal training clients, I just have a question for what you would recommend for one of my clients. My client is a women (24) who had surgery on her ear a few months ago, I believe something had burst in her ear or was about to, she was on bed rest for a couple weeks taking lots of antibiotics and other medications. She constantly gets sick when shes travels, I saw her this morning after flying out of state this weekend and she had said she lost her voice and couldn't breathe when she got off the plane, other times she has gotten a pneumonia. She is constantly stressed from full time school (which she just graduated so that stressor is gone for now) and full time managing a bank. We work on mediation and stretching, i've suggested

200 scientists and medical doctors joined together to express the dangers of the chemicals in antibacterial soap (and toothpaste!). The side effects from using these products can be worse than the benefits you're looking for... Plus, on today's #FridayReview I'm going to share with you the best plants to keep away mosquitos, flies, and ticks - And, I'll also give you my personal recommendation for the natural bug & tick spray I use with my family (and on my French Bulldog!)...

One of the amazing things about the human body is its ability to withstand the processed foods, beverages, polluted air, and other toxins we ask it to deal with... Our liver, kidneys, skin, and lungs have a remarkable built-in detoxification mechanism that can allow us to stay healthy... This is why no matter what symptoms you struggle with there is hope as long as you follow a specific health plan that takes advantage of your body's innate ability to heal...

I'll always remember this quote that I heard when interning under an old school naturopath: "The world doesn't need any more medical specialists - What we need are more generalists..." What he meant by this wasn't that there isn't a time and place to see a specialist for a health condition, but the problem is many specialists aren't looking at the entire picture of how the whole body is interconnected... This connection couldn't be more pronounced than the link between link between stress, infertility, and weight gain, yet most doctors and IVF specialists completely miss it...

If you have increased intestinal permeability (aka "leaky gut") there are many ways to try to heal & seal the gut wall... The problem is that there's really only one best way to do it... Sure, you could use probiotics, fermented food, and bone broth, but those items simply do not work for the majority of people... The reason is that although people get the foods and nutritional supplements right a lot of the time, what they miss is the correct order in which to implement them... Unfortunately, the order you use your anti-bacterial/fungal herbal blends, biofilm disruptors, and probiotics is the key to whether or not your gut will ever fully heal (and seal up)...

I've had the pleasure of working with some of the most successful people on the planet... They represent philanthropists, CEOs, Billionaires, Hollywood celebrities, professional athletes, world champions, and many more... And although I was the one teaching them about health, wellness, and body transformation, they were unknowingly sharing their success secrets with me at the same time... On today's #CabralConcept 514 I'd like to now reveal to you the one thing all successful people do, so that you can begin to model that in your own life to get those same benefits - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/514 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral  

Welcome back to Day 2 of the Cabral #HouseCall podcasts! We have more great questions to answer today from our community and I'm looking forward to getting started! Lindsey: Hi I've been through some hormonal testing which has now put me on the supplements below. Please can you advise if I can take these supplements whilst I do the candida bacteria protocol. Please can you also advise if you can take other supplements like Maca Powder, acai powder, greens powder and flaxseed? Douglas Labs Ultra Preventive III w/ copper Douglas Labs B-Complex - Douglas Labs DHEA 25mg - Douglas Labs Glutathione Plus - Douglas Labs Zinc Picolinate (50mg) - Douglas Labs Ultra I-3-C –    Julie: Dear Dr. Cabral, my Dad got a stage 3 melanoma diagnosis a couple of weeks ago. The doctors removed the tumour and one lymph node with a 1mm metastasis. Now they want him to take interferone alpha for the next 18 months. Interferone has severe side effects like flu symptoms etc. From your naturopathic point of view is there anything we can

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...

I hope you're enjoying the weekend and thank you for tuning back into this weekend's Part 2 of the Cabral #HouseCall! Today's community questions are: Tanya: ill be quick! a couple food questions: -black garlic good health benefit? Tastes amazing -is there an anti-acne diet? -do nut butters contribute to acne? already cut out dairy, eggs, gluten and still have acne (35 years old using retin-a) - portion control - are their easy ways to remember portion sizes, like size of fist, finger, etc? (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!

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...
