Wouldn't it be nice if the advertising and marketing we're constantly bombarded with actually shared the truth about health, wellness, weight loss and the connection to the foods we eat? The sad reality is that we're only shown ads that will entice us to purchase the cheapest, most processed foods at the lowest possible price... And along with all this daily brainwashing by big corporations we get lulled into believing some of their messages... But don't be fooled, tune into today's #CabralConcept 362 where I expose the 7 Big Fat Food Lies and how they're affecting your wellness and body transformation goals - Enjoy the Show! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/362 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral    

There are obviously many reasons why someone may not be recovering or getting well after suffering from a prolonged health issue or diagnosed dis-ease... But my job as a Functional Medicine doctor is to look deeper into the true root causes that are holding someone back from living the vibrant, happy & healthy life they were born to live... After working with thousands of people what I can tell you is that although many people I see in my practice are doing a lot of things correctly, they are doing them out of order or in piece-meal... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 361 to find out the real reason why most people don't get well again and how to save yourself or loved ones from the same fate - Enjoy the show! - - -  Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/361 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral  

I don't know if you've ever had to suffer any hardship or overcome any health issues in your life, but what I can say is that eventually the ebb & flow of life catches up with all of us... This can come in the form of a sick parent, auto-immune issues, disease, weight issues, or feeling depressed... The real problem is that most of us believe that the issues we suffer from our completely unique to us and that no one knows what we're going through... This can then lead to an even deeper state of frustration, anger, anxiety, and hopelessness... There is an answer though, and it comes in the form of how you choose to frame your current situation and in the choices you make when looking for solutions to your problems... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 360 for the advice I discovered, which enabled me to overcome all odds and become well again - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/360 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral  

Welcome back to our 2nd House Call of the weekend where I answer your questions on all things wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging! Here are today's Q&A's:   Deborah: I am interested in your weight loss testing kit. I am currently on HRT. How long would I need to stop HRT before I take the test to find out what my true levels are? Thanks in advance, Deborah   Nadim: I am sure you asked this question all the time, but is it possible to heal disc herniations? There is a lot of contradictory information on this subject and I really do not know what to believe. More specifically I have a large central posterior disc herniation between L4/L5 that originally resulted in significant referred pain in my feet. I have had the injury for about 3 years, but more recently the pain has improved since returning to the gym, however, I do not know if I am doing the right things, please advise. My gym routine involves back extensions (weighted), pull ups and kettle bell squats with my feet very close to a wall to ensure p

The weekend edition of the #CabralConcept HouseCall is back! Today we have 3 amazing questions from the community, so without further ado let's get right into them!   Mel: Hi Dr C! (I'm trying this again hopefully it reaches you)! Juat wanted your tips for pregnant diet and exercise. Lots of conflicting message out there. For example what do you think about probiotics, cod liver oil, preg supplements, greens powders, smoothies, iron, protein ... to name a few. Any wisdom is appreciated. PS. Your work rocks. Thank you :)   MN: Greetings! Thank you for all you do. I've struggled with Bacterial Vaginosis for at least 6 years. I've been pregnant, but it was ectopic. I have also been told after an exam that I have non-cancerous, abnormal cells on my cervix. About 6 days after intercourse (condoms and all) my vaginal flora changes and I get symptoms. No odor, just a change in discharge. Have you been able to cure anyone? Most ladies who suffer from this have only found temporary relief. Any insights would be awesom

One of the main goals of exercise, stretching, and strength training should be to keep your body in balance by combating the poor posture we are all forced into by staying seated for so long... Another major component of getting your body moving is to better oxygenate your cells in order for you to boost your mood, energy, and hormones... The amazing fact is that no matter what you're currently doing (or not doing) for exercise, by adding in a specific 1-minute 12 movement sequence every day you will enjoy improved health, well-being, metabolism, pain-reduction, energy, and so much more - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/356 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral  

Too often we're told we need to eliminate all carbohydrates in order to lose weight, tone up, or get in great shape... But that's far from the truth and although you can't exactly "have your cake and eat it too," you can and should focus on one particular type of carbohydrate to improve your overall health, satiation, mood & weight management... On today's #CabralConcept 355 I reveal that specific carbohydrate and the top 20 choices in that category (Plus 2 downloadable charts for easy reference) - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/355 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

The 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend is here! Today, we have some amazing community questions that are completely different from yesterday's show... Check them out now and be sure to tune in for the answers! Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral, I have a couple issues that I'm struggling with: hair loss and cystic acne/congested skin. I'm a woman in my 40's and have been seeing a functional medicine doctor for several years. She helped me diagnose sibo and candida overgrowth, which were causing my digestive issues. I also have low ferritin and slightly low testosterone and DHEA. I now have the digestive issues under control; however, I'm still struggling with acne and hair loss. I had great results with my skin clearing up and normalizing (less oily) while on spironolactone but my doctor wanted me to go off it back when we were still diagnosing my issues. What are your thoughts on the use of spironolactone? Is it safe to take? I hate the idea of taking it but I hate my skin even more right now. I've also heard spirono

Today, I get the tables turned on me and instead of me directing the conversation I had Ben Page from the Wellness Farmer's Podcast interview me!

Hello and welcome back to our first #HouseCall of the weekend! We had some great entires over the past week or two from the community and here are today's questions: Gina: Hello. I am vegan and I need to get a B12 supplement. I understand that methylcobalamin is better than cyanocobalamin and oral or sublingual is better than a pill. I found a liquid supplement online from a company called Global Healing that is 80% methyl and 20% adenosylcobalamin. Does this seem good to take or does Dr. Cabral recommend a better brand? Thank you so much.   Patty: Hello Dr Cabral I have been listening to your podcast for about 4 months now and I just love them. Thank you so much for all your helpful information, I really love listening to you and have learned so much. I know that you think it's very important for everyone to get enough vitamin D all year round to prevent serious health issues. And I believe so as well, but I have recently heard that if your are supplementing vitamin D that you must also be taking vitamin K2

Does it really matter if you eat organic or not? Do pesticides really harm the body that much?

Just a few years back I was pushing my body hard with working out, but I was missing one crucial component to staying healthy, energetic, and injury free... What I didn't realize is that all of us have an upper limit on how hard we can push our bodies if we're not keeping them balanced through certain forms of "soft" exercise, additional rest, stretching, nutrition, and other balancing protocols...

We seem to live in a world where we must force ourselves to fit into a one size fits all approach preached by the media and "experts..." The problem is that although we are all human and have the same basic physiology, how we respond to nutrition, exercise, stress, and pathogens varies greatly from one individual to another... This makes cook-cutter programs and advice obsolete and frustrating for those following the advice, but not getting the results they deserve...

It's unfortunate, but by the time we typically think about taking care of our brain, it may be too late... This is because hidden damage of brain diseases like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, dementia, and others start decades before the initial symptoms begin to show up...

Our 2nd #HouseCall of the weekend is here! And here are today's community questions & answers: Lindsey: Hi Stephen, I have been listening for a while and following on your Instagram page (which I like to recommend to all my followers too) for a while now. I am quite worried about my mum at the moment who was put on methotrexate a few years ago as her psoriasis and arthritis was so bad. (She has had it since being a teenager and is now 64) At the moment she has no immunity, she catches everything; colds, chest infections, sickness bugs etc and I don't think I've seen her well in a while. She is scared to come off this immune suppressor due to the pain/ discomfort that will come back but she currently hasn't go any quality of life anyway? How can you help her all the way from the UK? I've bought and done your detox etc so I'm aware of the products in your store but I'm not sure if you could help her here in the U.K with tests etc as you need blood turnarounds quickly etc. Thanks and keep up the good work Li
