In order to get well, lose weight, or enjoy increased vitality it's important to master your metabolism... One of the best ways to do that is to prevent snacking or overeating by learning to balance your leptin and ghrelin hormones... It is the delicate balance between these 2 hormones that allows you to feel normal hunger signals, but also turn off excessive food cravings and binge eating... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 404 for all details on how to crush food cravings by balancing leptin &...

It's easy to confuse the energy surge that comes along with caffeine consumption as something that's beneficial or good for us... There's no doubt it feels great (for most people) in the short-term, but the long-term effects can wear and tear on your nervous system, adrenals, thyroid, and liver... On today's #CabralConcept 403 I talk about how much caffeine is too much and how and why to wean off caffeine for wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging benefits - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes: http...

With goals come expectations. But, these expectations may or may not be based in reality... For some reason we've been conditioned in our Western vision of reality that achieving our goals is supposed to be a straight forward shot to success... The problem is that the real world isn't set up this way, and as a result we become frustrated due to an incongruence with our preconceived thoughts... The solution is to realize that true happiness does not in fact lie in the attainment of anything, but ...

Every few weeks I'll be adding a BONUS REPLAY show from a previous podcast that was voted by our listeners as one of their favorites (by number of downloads)!

Thank you for coming back to tune into our 2nd day of the weekend Cabral HouseCalls! We have another amazing 3 questions today and here they are: Chad: Hi Dr. Cabral, You indicated you live in the downtown area of a major city. I do as well. Do you have any issues with nighttime traffic noise? If so, what do you use to mitigate its impact on your sleep? I've tried earplugs and sound machines, but am wondering if you have any better solutions. Cheryl: Hi, Dr. Cabral. First, I'd like to express my...

The #1 excuse for not working out is a "lack of time," but I believe that we all make time for what we see as a priority in our life... And one of the reasons we don't always make time for exercise is because we can find it boring. So, today, what I'd like to do is actually share how we change up our client's workout programs to make them more fun & motivational... Tun into today's #CabralConcept 398 for tips on making your workouts more fun & effective and as a bonus I'm also going to s...

Right now, "intermittent fasting" has become one of the most popular diet trends in the health & fitness industry... The problem is that it's being marketed as an "all-for-one" approach, which is anything but the truth... Like any diet plan, intermittent fasting has its downsides and by skipping breakfast you may just be doing more harm than good...

Mushrooms were one of the first forms of "herbal medicine" ever used and to this day are still one of the most researched and prized natural supplements... Literally, the potency of mushrooms, the beta-glucans and other properties they contain are being studied to fight cancer, inflammation, fatigue, blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, and weight gain, as well as for the their longevity nutrients...

Goals are a funny thing. We all have them and we want to strive for more out of life, but we don't always want to do the work required to get there... Part of it is that we can get too comfortable with where we are right now even if it's not a good place. The reason is that it's become routine and although not where we want to be we at least know this familiar ground... And let's face it, to get to that next level in life we're going to have to change. Something needs to be different in order to...

I hope you enjoyed yesterday's 1st edition of the weekend Cabral #HouseCalls! Today, we have 3 more community questions so let's get started: Deborah: Dr. Stephen Cabral, You (and your team) inspire me and thank you for staying inspired so you can continue to give so freely to people.

I know this may be hard to believe, but almost everyone I meet with wellness or weight loss issues has some type of food sensitivity... Typically it goes undiscovered by conventional medicine doctors because the food reaction doesn't happen immediately after eating and often the symptoms aren't what you'd expect a food reaction to look like...

I believe it was Peter Drucker that eloquently said that there is no such thing as time management - there is only life management... I think he was right. We all get the same 24 hours everyday and it's how wisely we use those hours (or not) that allows us to get ahead in life or fall further behind... The beautiful thing is that at any point in our life we can decide to turn things around. We can choose to get more out of life. We just have to think differently... Tune into today's #CabralConce...

Given the fact that the air we breathe is literally the most important thing to our health I always find it odd that we allow so many chemicals to float around unseen in the atmosphere around us... Invisible gases, allergens, dust mites, and other chemicals literally pollute our air and poison our lungs and blood causing many of the immune responses responsible for what we label dis-ease processes... Although we can't always run away from toxic environment we've inherited, on today's #CabralConc...

We've all been led to believe that we crave certain foods because those are just our taste bud's preferences, but the truth lies a lot deeper than that... While it is true that people prefer certain foods over others, sometimes it's not because of a taste preference, but instead due to a physiological need of your body.

In my practice I see people suffering from both adrenal fatigue and low thyroid issues, but often times they may have been previously diagnosed incorrectly... Today, what I'd like to do is share with you the specific "traits" of how adrenal fatigue differs from low thyroid even though many of the symptoms appear very similar... For example, someone with adrenal or chronic fatigue can be tired all day, but then have difficulty sleeping. Whereas, someone with low thyroid will be tired most of the ...

However, the universe doesn't seem to work that way, and because of this it can sometimes create a lot of anxiety, impatience, frustration, and feelings of being overwhelmed...

I'll tell you what to look for and which brands are best to ensure you're getting the "real deal." Next up, I'll share with you how one capsule a day of a certain vitamin is dramatically redu...
