It's already Friday and I'm looking forward to bringing you my weekly review of the best books, supplements, research, and all things wellness, weight loss & anti-aging! We're starting off today with a brand new research study that just came out last week reinforcing the idea that even diet soda or zero calorie drinks can still pack on body fat and prevent us from losing weight... Then, I'll be reviewing one of my favorite book companies for exercise and stretching techniques - They make it ...

I don't know too many people that don't want a smaller waist and flatter stomach...

There's always a lot of debate as to what's more important when trying to lose weight...

Today, though, on #CabralConcept 256 I cut through the noise and share with you the results of what actually matters most when trying to lose weight, so that you can focus your attention on just one main thing...

This is a topic I'm very passionate about and I've been (quietly) shouting it from the rooftops for the past 4 years... But now, we have the highest award in the world to back up what I've seen working in my wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging practice... And the best part is that this isn't my special patent, or some new technology - it's actually a natural system built into your own body that will allow you to get well, lose weight & live longer... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 255 fo...

Before my body got well I had to rewire my brain to allow that to happen... This meant throwing out some pretty ingrained philosophies on life that I was carrying with me and were weighing me down... Without releasing that baggage, the stress would never have allowed my body to heal... Listen in on today's #CabralConcept 254 as I share some of my personal "rules for life" that I live by, and how you can begin to create your own.

I'm excited to be back with our 2nd Cabral House Call of the weekend! Right now, we're going to answer 4 of your questions on: Chad: Is it a good idea to empty out contents of vitamins/supplements that come in capsule form, into say a smoothie, rather than consume the vegetarian capsule itself? Thanks so much Erika: Hi Mr. Cabral, My Dad just recently had a "growth" on his prostate which he had surgically removed. "it wasn't cancerous" so he thinks he now has nothing to worry about. I am sure a ...

If you're thinking kettlebell workouts are just a passing fad, think again... Kettlebells are one of the most versatile pieces of fitness equipment you could use. They can be used for endurance, resistance, muscle building, core work, or even interval training...

Some gurus preach skipping breakfast all together, while others recommend making breakfast the largest meal of the day... Then there are those stating that lunch should be your biggest meal when digestion is strongest, but won't that leave you feeling tired? And finally, some advocates (especially in weight loss) recommend making dinner your smallest meal, while others often times eat very little during the day and save one large meal for before bed... Today, on #CabralConcept 249 we'll clear up...

When I first heard about and was diagnosed with "leaky gut," it wasn't given any real merit by conventional medicine. It was considered a made up, natural medicine myth or ailment... Now, 20 years later it's not only mainstream medicine, but they're actual giving people fecal transplants! It's funny how allopathic medicine always has to take it to that next level ; ) On a more serious note, leaky gut (intestinal permeability) is actually very important to understand and discuss. And it's so prev...

We've all been taught that it takes years or maybe even a lifetime to change the way we think or behave, but this simply isn't true... The way you view life can change in an instant. It all depends on our life circumstances, events, what we're looking or, and what we've been exposed to... Today on #CabralConcept 247 we explore how to rewire your brain for change, which is all summed up with just two little words...

After sifting through some amazing books I just read this week, as well as looking into "what's working now" in my Boston practice, I wanted to bring you our #FridayReview! The book I found this most interesting this week is a short piece on how we can actually predict our behavior and our outcomes based on the habits we choose on a daily basis. It's a very interesting read on how by using certain questions & triggers we can begin to achieve things in our life we never thought possible... Ne...

I know there's a lot of talk in the media and online about "Muscle Confusion" and how you should be changing up your workouts every time you exercise, but... That type of mentality not only isn't scientifically validated, it will not lead to the greatest results in terms of body transformation, strength, or overall health... Check out today's #CabralConcept 243 to discover how often you should be switching up your workout program for maximum results! Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes: http://Step...

I think too much of the time we believe we don't know how to achieve our goals and that we lack the proper plan or guidance to get us there... However, I believe that if you look back on your life you will see times when you did achieve success... It is at those moments of success that we must look for what caused that result? Success leaves clues and today on the #Cabral Concept 242 I will show you what to look for, so that you can ensure your success for the future! Enjoy the show! - - - Show ...

If you're suffering from digestive issues, bloating, fatigue, skin, headache, or autoimmune issues there is one thing you must clean up before anything else... That one thing is finding out what the offending foods are that are causing the systemic inflammatory immune reaction creating the outward symptoms you are now experiencing as your "dis-ease." You can use elimination, rotation, exclusion & other diets to pinpoint those foods, or complete a simple at-home food sensitivity test... For d...

Some people seem to be born with strong willpower and a knack for easily sliding into healthy habits and sticking to them, while others trudge through day in and day out trying their hardest to stick with a plan... The truth is though that everyone develops habits in the same way, it's just that not everyone is conscious of how they're doing it... Today, on #CabralConcept 240 I'm going to break down the psychology and demystify how anyone can begin to develop a range of habits that will serve th...

I'm back with another #FridayReview and today I want to share with you a fantastic book on Functional Medicine, as well as clear up some misconceptions on a popular vitamin!

I get asked a lot if it's more effective to do your cardio (bike, running, etc.) before or after you train with resistance or your own body weight?

Intermittent fasting can be one of the most powerful ways to heal your body and achieve your ideal body weight, but it must be done correctly... And by that I mean that you should not fast longer than your body can tolerate. Just because a little is good, does not mean "more will be better..." In today's #Cabral Concept 235 I explore how long you should be fasting for each day and when to fast longer, if at all. I also touch on whom intermittent fasting is NOT a good idea for...

Getting a good night's sleep is easily one of the most important things you can do to improve your wellness, body transformation goals, and longevity... But often times due to stress, poor eating, alcohol, travel, kids, a racing mind, or other lifestyle interruptions, getting to be on time and staying asleep can be easier said than done... The great news is that you can reset your sleep cycle and begin to enjoy more energy, a positive mood, less inflammation, and overall more vitality! Listen in...

Are unrealistic expectations holding you back from being happier & healthier? I find too often many people believe that everyday they are supposed to feel jazzed with energy and smiling from ear to ear... I'm here to tell you that life was never meant to be that way. Although you should not be suffering from any chronic bodily or mental health issues, minor things will pop up from day to day... The great thing is that those days we don't feel our best help us to appreciate when we are enjoyi...
