I find it interesting that at times a lot of what my consultations turn into is helping people on the psychological side of healing... Originally, I thought my private practice would be more of a straight forward interpretation of Functional Medicine lab testing and Personalized Wellness Plan designs... But what I've realized is that in order to help someone truly heal, you must treat the individual and not the dis-ease... Often times, this means teaching people how to lower stress, overcome adv...

I'm excited to bring you part 2 of our weekend Cabral #HouseCalls where I answer our community questions on all things wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging! Here are today's questions: Kevin: Dr Cabral, So I have been following your work for about 5 years when I bought and implemented the teachings in "A Man's Guide to Muscle and Strength". I was looking for a program to follow, and this fit the bill perfectly. I've used the structure of the programs in the book ever since. I rotate these progr...

Welcome back to the #FridayReview! This week we've got some amazing research and products to chat about and it all starts with the topic of genetics... Too many people use "genetics" as an excuse for why they have some dis-ease or imbalance... They simply haven't been taught that genetics just means you're predisposed to something - It's does NOT mean you have to suffer from some ailment... Next up, we'll be discussing what seems to be an epidemic amongst fibromyalgia patients (93% were low in t...

One of the greatest myths in health & fitness is that by doing cardio you are actually training your legs... Running, biking, elliptical, and other modes of cardio work can have their own benefit, but they are not the same as squats, deadlifts, lunges, and step-ups... This means that by skipping your leg training and opting for cardio only, you are greatly missing out on dozens of benefits... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 580 for all the details on why running & cardio don't equal leg...

Nowadays it seems like there are as many diet, exercise, or wellness plans as there are gurus... So this begs the question: Who's right? And, maybe an even more important question is, how do you know which plan is right for YOU? On today's #CabralConcept 579 I'll help you figure out what plan to follow to get the best results possible - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/579 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral...

The last thing I want you to do is worry that you're going to get cancer... Worry, fear, and helplessness, are certainly all helping hands in causing dis-ease and cancer, so let's push those aside during this conversation... What I do want to do right now is share with you some important information that could possibly save your or a loved one's life... When cancer is caught early enough, natural treatment protocols (and conventional measures) can intervene and return your body back to balance.....

In our 24/7/365 hustle society we may have lost sight of the fact that being busy does not mean you're accomplishing anything... To me, one of the worst things I believe you could do is to "work hard" and not get any results to show for it... This is what truly leads to frustration and eventually to giving up on your goals... But it doesn't have to be that way, and on today's #CabralConcept 577 I want to share with you why you may not be making (as much) progress as you'd like - Enjoy the show! ...

Welcome back to day 2 of our weekend Cabral HouseCalls! I'm really looking forward to doing my best to answer your questions today that have been coming in over the past few weeks, so let's get started! Adalyn: Hi Dr Cabral, I am so grateful for your podcast and have to admit I'm completely addicted. I love all the knowledge and especially the science behind it. I am a pitta body type and I'm lectin sensitive. I have plateaued in my weight loss. I have bloating, acne around my nose and chin, I'm...

I hope you had a fantastic last week and now it's that time again where we get to check in with the community and see what questions we have for this weekend! Here are today's Q&A's: Camille: Hi Dr. Cabral, In my house, you are known as "Cabral"...I talk about you and quote you SO much, we've just shortened it to Cabral...anyway, I use your All in One Daily shake and daily fruits & vegetable powder in the smoothies I make every singe day for my husband and I. I also take your activated B...

I'll be the first one to tell you that I do not promote or recommend weight loss supplements... I prefer people to boost their metabolism through sustainable approaches using nutrition, exercise, and other healthy lifestyle factors... However, since I get asked quite often if there are any supplements that have been proven to help lose weight, I did want to share the ones with actual research behind them... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 574 for an unbiased breakdown on which weight loss suppl...

Too many people believe that in order to get great results you need to be training 6-7x a week... This is so far from the truth it's not even funny, and unfortunately, it prevents a lot of people from getting started in the first place... The media perpetuates the idea that our workouts should be long and grueling, but the research simply doesn't back this up... If anything, less can often be more and on today's podcast I want to share with you why this is the case - Especially for those just ge...

After almost 20 years in the health & fitness industry I've noticed 3 specific points in the year that are the most effective times to recommit to your goals... These are the times where you'll have the greatest chance of success and the longest stretches of uninterrupted periods to really dive into a healthy nutrition and exercise plan... Likewise, I've also seen 3 big dips during the course of a calendar year where we need to prepare ourselves to expect more obstacles to come up... It's du...

I'm sure even going back just 100 years ago people would be laughing at us talking about taking a break from eating! The truth is that we have so much food abundance (in many countries) that we actually have to be convinced it's NOT a good thing to always be eating - even healthy food... The reason for this is that we as humans are hard-wired to eat, gain weight, and protect our bodies for survival... The problem is that nature didn't really account for refrigeration and processed foods, which a...

Growing up we're always being shielded from hardships... Our parents, community, and everyone that cares for us tries to the best of their ability to protect us and make our life as comfortable as possible... Eventually this leads to the mindset that we must avoid as many challenging situations as possible - After all, we've been taught that the goal is to remain in our "safe zone." The problem is that playing it safe can often backfire and what we're left with is a life that is anything but hap...

Thank you for tuning back into our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend - We've got some great Q&A's today.

Welcome to our first Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! Here are today's community questions: Jen: Hi Dr. Cabral I've heard you talk a little about body types and wondered how much this affects what each type eats and how they are supposed to exercise. Could you give a brief overview of each of those different body types (Ectomorph, Mesomorph, Endomorph) and how to tell which one I might be as well as the best exercise and foods for each type? Also, How does your blood type affect the way you brea...

All of us are use to celebrating our birthday every year and getting one year old (chronologically), but... Your chronological age can often be drastically different than your biological age... What this means is that regardless of the actual number of birthday's you've celebrated, the inside of your body may be aging at a faster (or slower) rate... The goal, of course, is to slow down the aging process as much as possible, so that age truly does become "just a number." And by slowing the aging ...

One of the top factors for reversing disease and living a long healthy life is exercise... However, more exercise is very rarely a good thing and often times it can actually do more harm than good...

When I went gluten-free 20 years ago the food selection was a lot different... There wasn't the level of choice that we now see in the grocery food store... You can now purchase everything from breads, to muffins, to cookies in gluten-free varieties... But the question then becomes, are these options better than those containing wheat or gluten?

About 20 years ago I suffered from one of the worst cases of "adrenal chronic fatigue" you could have... I was diagnosed with Addison's Disease and given no hope for recovery - except to continue to take a drug based cortisol for the rest of my life... I decided that I didn't want to live this way and as a result I went searching for answers... What I discovered along the way changed my life, led to my complete recovery, and to a life I could have only dreamed about... Now, I've made it my missi...

In 1938 the sophomore class at Harvard University entered into a study that would last until present day... Little did any of the participants know it would have such an enormous impact on the field of health and psychology that it would span 4 generations of research directors in order to study the results... The research also started to transition away from the physical health of the classmates and morph into an exposé on one the most profound studies on happiness ever recorded... Tune into to...

I'm looking forward to sharing those answers with you so let's get started! Scott: Hi Dr. Cabral - I recently accompanied my fiance on her visit to the Wellness Institute.

We had a great Q&A session and I'm looking forward to sharing more with you today with these brand new questions: Mariellen: Dr Cabral, you have always helped me in finding answers to my health issues and I am on a journey to getting better. I am not writing in for myself. I have a friend who for years has had what I would say are seizures. She has crashed her car ...

One of the most popular questions I get is how (and why!) did I read so many books in such a short period of time? I always tell people that I wasn't born with any special speed reading ability and when I started out, I was actually a 3-page per minute (or slower) reader... What happened was that I learned a few techniques that allowed me to cut my reading time by more than half, and then again by another half when I became more skilled... This then allowed me to read thousands of books and disc...

My least favorite form of measuring a client's progress is by weighing them in on a daily basis... Many people have a fear of the scale and rightly so... Sometimes you'll feel like you're doing everything right, yet the number isn't budging in the direction as much as you'd like... The good news is that if you dislike doing weigh-ins there are actually better measurements for tracking your results... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 559 for all the details and on how to get better results by ski...

Unfortunately in our Western-based, conventional medicine society we've grown up thinking that our health and wellness is largely determined by our genetics... And we've also been led to believe that our mental health is a consequence of our genes and upbringing... The truth, though, is so far removed from that ideological worldview that it seems insane most doctors still subscribe to it... We know that certain lifestyle factors cause sickness, disease, weight gain, and depression, yet we tend t...

What if I were to tell you that you could completely regenerate your immune system in just 72 hours... You'd probably think I was crazy or hyping up some type of "advanced immune-booster magic pill..." But the truth is that there is a way to rebuild your white blood cells and super-charge your immune system without anything other than what mother-nature already gave us... It also works so well that cancer patients about to receive chemotherapy are now being asked to complete this simple protocol...

I think too often we fall in love with the idea of living "happily ever after." We've been brainwashed through fairy tales and myths that a rainbow and pot of gold exist at the other side of our problems... But the real truth has been known throughout the ages: There is no happiness without struggle. There is no joy without sadness. The trick is to not have to "suffer" or struggle for too long before you can realize that fact and move through it to happier times... Tune into today's #CabralConce...
