289: How to Increase Joy & Happiness in Your Life (MM)

I believe that happiness means something different to all of us, which is why it can be so difficult to help others find their joy... However, I also believe that everyone can find happiness if they know where to look. The problem is too often we're told to "go out and seek happiness in life" when the answer we search for lies hidden within... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 289 as I breakdown a simple system for how to increase joy and happiness in your life - You'll be glad you did... Enjoy t...

It's time to get started with today's first edition of this weekend's Cabral #HouseCall! Here are today's community questions: 1. Suzanna: Hi, Thanks for all your invaluable info. I'm a personal trainer and listen to your podcasts using a lot of your advice to help my own clients. I was listening to 4th Nov podcast about juicing where you mentioned the ketogenic diet. You said you don't agree with it long term and that you don't use it for more than 3 weeks with your clients. Would you please el...

286: Why You Need a Water Filter & The Best Water Filters to Buy (FR)

The most important thing you put in your body is water. Most of us don't drink enough of it. However, total consumption isn't even the biggest problem we're dealing with when it comes to our drinking water... Did you know that EVERY major city tested in the U.S. found contaminants and dozens of pharmaceutical drugs in their tap water supply? Known cancer causing and brain-damaging chemicals like mercury, lead, aluminum, fluoride, and chlorine (in addition to the anti-depressant drugs found) are ...

285: Energy Drink & Pre-Workout Supplement Dangers (TT)

Almost everyone that comes to see me in my practice would love a little more energy (sometimes a lot more), but increasing energy by artificial means is not the answer and often times can be downright dangerous... Your body's own natural cortisol and hormone rhythms need to be respected and understood - but unfortunately many supplement manufacturers don't care about long-term damage by causing excess adrenal output and how it can lead to a future of burnout and a depressed mind and body... On t...

284: Best & Worst Sweeteners for Weight Loss & Wellness (WW)

I know most people are trying to avoid processed sugar, and rightly so, but did you know that zero-calorie, artificial sweeteners are actually more dangerous than sugar itself? For example, Aspartame has been shown to cause neurological issues, birth defects, low mood, poor concentration, fatigue, ADD/ADHD, eye problems, hormone imbalances, and potentially even a link to cancer... But this is just one of many legal artificial sweeteners to be allowed to be sold to children and adults, which is p...

283: Do This to Reduce Anxiety, Overwhelm & Low Energy (TWT)

It's amazing how when you get your mind right everything begins to fall into place... But, this is often easier said than done - unless of course you begin to tap into your body's own natural way of processing information and producing energy. Once you do this change becomes easy and you won't have to use pure willpower to push through each day... This one tip has transformed my life and has allowed me to fall asleep effortlessly, wake up without an alarm, and get twice as much done during the d...

282: How to Manage Your Time Effectively (MM)

While it's true that we all get the same 24 hours in a day how is it that some people seem to get so much more done than others? What is their secret? Are they just born motivated or smarter than the rest of us? I think the answer will surprise you - Especially when you find out the tricks they use to get more done in less time... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 282 to discover how to manage your time more effectively, get your life back on track, and achieve your goals faster - Enjoy the show!...

We're back with the 2nd edition of the weekend Cabral #HouseCall ! Here are today's community questions I'll be answering: Jen: Hi! I have two questions I've been thinking about and thought maybe they could be good for the podcast. One only affects half of the population, as you'll see: 1) what are your thoughts on the blood type diet? 2) what are your natural recommendations for common vaginal infections such as yeast infections or bacterial vaginosis?

279: Best Blender: Vitamix vs. Blendtec vs. NutriBullet vs. Ninja Blenders (FR)

I've said it before and I'll say it again - I don't think I would be where I am today without my 1-2 smoothie a day habit... Out of everything I did to improve my digestive, adrenal, hormone, detox, skin, and other health issues, drinking my morning smoothie was and still is #1. So because of that discovery, I've pretty much used and experimented with every blender imaginable (I also love gadgets!)... On today's #CabralConcept 279 I break down the differences between the Vitamix vs. Blendtec vs....

Typically, I save my book reviews for Friday's on the podcast, but today I wanted to review all the ways you can slow the aging process and look & feel younger!

277: Best Probiotics for Weight Loss & Maintenance (WW)

A lot of people believe that cutting edge medical science is reserved for pharmaceutical drugs only, but that couldn't be any further from the truth... And there's almost no better example of this then when looking at Functional Medicine nutritional supplements (not the ones at your local Costco, Walmart or drug store)... The same peer-reviewed research goes into true health supporting supplements and an excellent example of that are the specific strains studied that have been proven to aid in w...

Leaving your health to chance this winter is not a good idea... And that's why I recommend using this powerful natural flu shot and cold recipe!

275: How & Why Your Needs Should Be Fulfilled First (MM)

In 1943, Abraham Maslow published a groundbreaking paper on a human's hierarchy of needs... For the first time a guide was simply laid out in 5 easy to understand steps on how to get your needs fulfilled and in what order to feel like you have achieved "self-actualization (your potential)." This pyramid holds the key to enjoying a happy life...

Today's first product review is on the juicer I finally settled on after trying out over a dozen.

One of my favorite ways to start the day is with a little "Lymphercise!" It's a great way to get your blood circulating, boost oxygen to your brain, improve your mood, and move your lymph... Today, I want to share a video I shot awhile back and give you instructions on how to complete a quick lymphercising interval you can do right at home whether you have a rebounder, or not.

270: My Top 7 Wellness & Weight Loss Smoothie Recipes! (WW)

20 years ago, my digestive system was barely functioning. I had trouble breaking down even easy to digest foods... This led to a gradual weakening of my body and immune system, which resulted in a host of fatigue, GI, skin, auto-immune, brain fog, and other conditions... It wasn't until I found out about the healing power of smoothies that I actually began to rebuild my body from the inside out. For the first time, I was able to absorb the nutrition from the pre-digested liquid smoothies and my ...

269: Is Coffee Good or Bad for You? (TWT)

There's probably no other plant based food in the world with more controversy and arguments over it than coffee... On one side, we have the coffee proponents who talk about its high levels of antioxidants and the research showing it can improve everything from cardiovascular function to decreasing Alzheimer's... Then, there are the anti-coffee advocates with an equaling compelling argument that coffee can over-stimulate the adrenal glands, cause burn out, and harm digestive function... So who's ...

268: You're Supposed to Change! (MM)

Somewhere along the way most of us bought into a false belief that is holding us back from achieving greater things in our life... We've been brainwashed into thinking that "changing," or becoming more than what we were brought up in, is somehow bad or disrespectful to our current friends, family or co-workers... This type of thinking forces us to set small goals and never really feel fully realized or alive. It's also this mentality that leaves us with a life-time of regret of what might have b...

These parasites can be picked up almost anywhere - local restaurants, salad bars, house pets, farms, under cooked food, contaminated drinking water, walking barefoot, etc...

The Western philosophy and mentality drives us to keep pushing forward even when things don't seem to be going our way... This can lead to stress, frustration, and feelings of being overwhelmed...
