Time and time again one of the biggest factors that sets people back from enjoying the body and health they want is an unjury... And much of the time that injury comes from an accident while in the gym or outside of it that could have easily been prevented if the body was properly prepared... That's why on today's #CabralConcept 790 I want to share with you exactly what you need to do to "injury-proof" your body and joints for a life-time of functional use - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes &...

Lowered metabolic rate or low thyroid symptoms have so much more to do with your health than just the inability to keep the weight off... Other symptoms such as brain fog, low mood, fatigue, low body temperature, decreased drive & ambition, as well as hair loss can all be explained by a lowered metabolic state... The good news is that all of this is reversible when you know what the root causes are that are holding you back from the health that you deserve... Tune into today's #CabralConcept...

Believe it or not, Conventional Medicine is actually beginning to not only accept, but scientifically verify hundreds of natural health based "signs of disease..." From a Naturopathic, Ayurvedic, or Facial Diagnosis perspective these tell-tales have been known for thousands of years to reliably predict ongoing or future health based issues... This is why it's so important to become more aware of your symptoms and how your body may be changing (even if it's subtle)... So to make it easier for you...

One of the big benefits of getting to help people work on their overall health & wellness on a daily basis is that I get to see trends... As I listen to each person explain their story of how they got sick, put on weight, or can't seem to get well, patterns begin to form... And these patterns start to look eerily similar to each other when it comes to very specific stressors in our lives... One of those stressors that many people share is constantly being a people pleaser - to the detriment ...

Tania: Hello Stephen, I have been diagnosed with Hashimotos and was wondering what test is the best one to take from your lab to help me lead a healthier life and get off Synthroid for good ?

Check out today's questions: Louis: Dr. Cabral, thank you for everything that you do. You are truly amazing. I have an issue and I am looking for some guidance. For the past 8 years I've been dealing with acne, and I can't get rid of it. I also was diagnosed with colitis when I was 10 but have for the most part gotten that u...

I hope you've had an amazing week! I'm looking forward to bringing you today's #FridayReview where I've recapped the week and can't wait to share with you some fun new information... The first topic is a follow up from last month and is a brand new "eco-challenge" that I hope you'll join me in this April (Hint: it has to to with the 500 million straws used everyday in the US!) ... Next up, I'm looking forward to re-sharing with you a book that helps make sense of how certain nutrient deficiencie...

Can too much of a good thing suddenly become a very bad thing for your body, health & mind? The research says is definitive and shows that unless you've built in unloading weeks, rest days, and a periodization based exercise model into your training it's only a matter of time before you break down... The good news is that all of this is easily correctable if you know what to look for and how to assess how much your body can handle... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 783 to find out the 10 si...

Feeling bloated after a meal is not a new human phenomenon... For thousands of years humans have been using natural “digestive aids” to improve digestion and help with poor food combining... However, much of that ancient wisdom has been lost in this new age of acid blocking medications or over the counter antacids... Today on the #CabralConcept 782 podcast I want to share with you some of these time-tested natural remedies to help improve digestion and decrease bloating with meals - Enjoy the sh...

The new buzz around "lectins" has certainly taken the nutrition industry by storm, but is it all hype or is there some truth to it? The low-lectin diet asserts that it's the "sticky" proteins in most #plantbased foods that cause everything from intestinal discomfort to brain fog to leaky gut to auto-immune conditions... The question is are we looking at the wrong enemy in terms of foods, or is there something deeper going on within the gut that may cause lectins to be an issue in the first place...

I believe the idea of "bucket lists" has begun to take a turn for the worse and is becoming synonymous with focusing on your mortality... Instead, I believe creating a bucket list should actually be viewed more as a motivational tool for visualizing how much more life you have to live! And as a result, I recommend that everyone construct multiple "buckets" for every stage of their life... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 780 to discover how to create the ultimate bucket list in order to begin to...

One of the major issues with our current healthcare system is the fact that we don't consider people "unwell" unless they have a gross abnormality on their blood work labs... However, waiting until people are sick we are negligently allowing people to walk around with nutrient deficiencies (that blood work can't pick up) and toxicities, which later cause the dis-eases we're trying to prevent in the first place... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 777 for more details on that topic as well as some...

It's not that shorter workouts are just easier to fit into your day or keep consistent with, but it's the fact that they are actually better for you that's changing the game... Exercise physiologists, personal trainers, and strength coaches have come to better understand how the human body functions under stress (exercise) and how it recovers... With this new knowledge more advanced workout programs are being created that not only are quicker to complete than ever before, but they actually get y...

We tend to look at disease as something that's out of our control and that it just happens to us... Conventional medicine and the media has brainwashed us into thinking it's simply "bad genetics," or a normal process of aging... However, none of that is true and holds very little weight when you begin to understand the "pathology" of dis-ease in the body and why we become sick or overweight unintentially... And, the great news is that all these poor health conditions are reversible, as long as w...

Last week I detailed what you should request for your annual blood work (and why), and I still stand by the importance of running those labs, but... Running just blood work will never catch everything... For example, it's near impossible to figure out gut dysfunction (GI issues), allergies, heavy metals, cortisol, and other hidden imbalances through your blood work alone... This is why Functional Medicine lab testing has become so popular over the last decade... It is the ONLY way to figure out ...

Have you ever found yourself in a downward cycle where everything seems to be going the wrong way... During these times it's easy to play the role of the victim and complain about our current circumstances... We've all been there and we certainly feel justified in our complaints since after all we've got a lot worth complaining about! However, in the long-run this cycle of complaining actually hurts far more than it could ever benefit us... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 773 to discover how to...

Today I'm bringing you a special episode of the #FridayReview where I'm dedicating all 3 topics to helping you to de-stress, unwind, and enjoy more restorative sleep! First, I want to share with you some research on how understanding your daily work/sleep rhythms allow for another 5-7 years of a longer life span... Next, I have 2 fun apps for you to download (for free) that enable you to eliminate the blue light from your electronic devices enabling you to lower cortisol in the evening... And fi...

I'm a big fan of not always stressing yourself out with the "micro" or the details of designing a workout program... I'd rather have you start to move your body, have some fun doing it, and enjoy all the mental and physical benefits that come with exercise... However, at some point you may want to take your workouts to the next level and when that time comes one of the best ways to do that is by listening to your body as to how hard you can push it... Everyone is different, which is why using a ...

I'm excited to bring you an in depth interview with one of the leading experts on "Intermittent Fasting!" Intermittent fasting (IF) is easily one of the hottest topics trending in the fitness & nutrition field right now... The problem is that there is so much misinformation out there, as well as conflicting reports on how to properly complete a fast... To put an end to the confusion, during my conversation with my guest expert, Thomas DeLauer, we get deep into the benefits of intermittent fa...

Running your blood work every 6-12 months should be mandatory in order to "catch" serious health issues quickly... The problem is that not all MDs or PCPs will run all the lab tests you should be looking at... For example, most MDs will run your cholesterol, but they overlook homocysteine and CRP, which when all elevated can spell serious trouble for inflammatory heart disease... Of course, all of these dis-eases are correctable, but you do need to know what you're dealing with in the first plac...

Many people think happiness is elusive and that it's not something they could possibly achieve for any sustainable amount of time... I used to feel this same way until I began to use a simple system that all begins with realizing when you are at your best and feeling great... What I've found now is that life isn't supposed to be perfect all the time, but I believe we can feel happy the majority of the time if we first know what happiness looks like to us... Today, on #CabralConcept 766 I want sh...
