If a drug were ever created that could reduce hearts by 60+% and any cause of death by 40%, every human would be taking it... It would literally be the first 10 trillion dollar drug and be given out like a multi-vitamin to take daily... The interesting thing is that this "drug" already does exist and a large-scale study was done over 2 years ago proving its efficacy, but I believe it's been kept under wraps for a number of reasons... One of those reasons being that you don't need to go to your d...

Let's face it, you're going to go out with friends, family, co-workers, or on a holiday and eat a few foods and drinks that maybe aren't the healthiest... You know that they're not the best choices, but part of life is also enjoying a few meals out with good people and letting loose... I lean more towards the belief that you'd actually be unhealthier not doing this... And because of this, I created something my private clients have been calling the "One Day Reset" diet. It essentially resets you...

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 det...

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 i...

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 ...

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!

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 w...

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!)... Last, but cert...

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, infe...

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... Unfortunatel...

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 ...

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.

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 wr...

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 a...

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, enjoy...

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 prot...

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...

A few years back barefoot training (not wearing shoes while working out or running) began to catch fire all over the world...

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 ...

Most people are aware of the normal food allergy and sensitivity reactions such as skin rashes, hives, or at worst anaphylaxis... But did you know that there are quite a number of other food sensitivity reactions that are a bit more hidden... The reason I say that is because these reactions can happen days later or show up as symptoms that may seem completely unrelated to the foods you ate...

Without a doubt the hardest part about taking action on our new goal or dream is that we have to start back again at ground zero... This can be intimidating to think that you may have to leave your current comfort zone and go after a new career, relationship, body transformation, or wellness goal for the "first time" again... The good news is that starting from scratch can often times be a blessing - It allows us to wipe the slate clean and start fresh... And, it can actually be a huge source of...

Last September I switched birth control contraceptives. I had been on the pill for about 10 years. I switched to the cooper IUD (paragard). I've had spotting almost every single month since the switch. I was told this was normal, however, I didn't expect it to last this long. Is there anything I can do to help stop the spottin...
