What personal trainers and nutritionists eat on a daily basis has always been a fascination by many outside of the health and fitness industry… After having worked in this space for the last 20 years I believe there's a lot we can learn from those that try their best to practice what they preach… So on today's #CabralConcept 614 I'd like to share with you the tips and strategies of what and how personal trainers and nutritionists really eat when no one's watching – Enjoy the show! - - - Show Not...

There's a lot of debate going on right now about the perfect breakfast and what it consists of... Some say it should be high fat, others recommend high protein, a few say high carb, while another whole group suggests skipping breakfast all together... Whenever, there seems to be this much confusion and debate I like to reference the many thousand year old Ayurvedic and Chinese Medicine manuscripts... After all, we humans have had a lot longer than just 150 years of "modern science" in order to f...

It's one thing to be focused on getting well, losing weight, or being happy, but how you go about it is much more important... For example, if you are focused on overcoming your inflammatory dis-ease or reshaping your body, but your thought process is consistently centered around what you lack I can assure you that your focus will only lead to more lack... This is why I invite you to tune into today's #CabralConcept 612 where I'll show you how to flip this focus in order to try to attract what y...

I get asked all the time how it could be possible for so many people to have gut based issues... The reason is actually simpler than you would think: Environmental toxins like heavy metals and plastics combined with NSAIDs (Ibuprofen), alcohol, birth control, processed food, fried foods, stress, antibiotics, tap water, and numerous other man-made products all contribute to a break down in the gut... This can then lead to every known dis-ease we've come to give a name and prescribe a drug for... ...

If you're looking to transform your body and actually change the shape of the way you look it's important to get the most out of your workouts… This doesn't necessarily mean putting in more time or effort, but it does mean exercising smarter… One of the best ways to do this is by systematically tracking your workouts by looking at specific variables… Not everything in your workout is important to track, but there are a few specific numbers that will get you to your goals faster... On today's #Ca...

I'm not sure who came up with the line, "a clean colon is a happy colon," but nevertheless there is a lot of truth to that... The reason for this is that a stagnant or corroded intestinal tract can lead to malabsorption, reabsorption of estrogen and other toxins, as well as bacterial imbalance... So the goal isn't necessarily to completely "clean out" your intestines, but it is to create a balanced microbiome between all inhabitants... One of the best ways to do this is with an intestinal cleans...

The worst time to think about your brain health is after you get the diagnosis of Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, dementia, memory loss, or some other brain related dis-ease... And the problem is that most doctors will never test for things like cortisol levels, heavy metals, or other factors that can "burn out" and "rust out" your brain... The good news is that we know that there are certain labs you can use as early warning detectors, as well as certain supplements that can aid in brain health... Tu...

It doesn't matter who you are, where you were born, or even how successful you currently are right now... Eventually you're going to hit a point of stress and frustration that stems from not being able to take your goals and life to that next level you desire... It's at this point that you need to sit yourself down and have a real chat about how the knowledge, experience, and know-how you've accumulated up to this moment is not enough to get you to that new chapter in your life... It's at this t...

Izziness, We're back with our 2nd day of the Cabral HouseCalls and I'm looking forward to sharing with you more of our community's questions... Let's get started! Leilani: Dear Dr Cabral, I have tried dry brushing twice and each time I start off, I'm fine for around 2 to 3 weeks after which my legs start to itch! I brush for a few minutes before showering and then when I dry my legs after coming out of the shower, they will not stop itching for quite a while. Rubbing with a towel or just my hand...

It's that time again! Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCalls where we answer our community's questions each and every week! Here are today's Q&A topics: Irene: Hello, I have type 2 diabetes. I was diagnosed about 3 years ago. A few days ago I ordered your Protocal package and I'm looking forward to start using it. I will also be doing the three day fast that I recently heard on one of your podcasts. My diabetes numbers average about 325 each morning. I am on Metformin and Glipizide. T...

We all know that food is our best medicine, but you may not know that certain foods have special qualities... That means that certain foods possess innate attributes that can improve very specific health imbalances... Every 4-6 months I try to add new foods into my diet that I purposely use as "supplements" in order to further improve different aspects of my health... Tune into #CabralConcept 602 for my 5 favorite foods I'm supplementing with right now, and why... Enjoy the show! - - - Show Note...

When it comes to exercise and working out the secret is always in the details... This is one of the reasons why you'll often see some people exercising half the time as others and getting better results from their workouts! Training your abs and core is no different. You need to know how, when, and for how long to train that muscle group to get the best results... tune into today's #CabralConcept 601 for all the details on when to work your abs - Enjoy the show! - - - http://StephenCabral.com/60...

Last week I shared the 4 toxins that are toxic to your thyroid and inhibit it from functioning well... Now I want to detail the 2 minerals that are missing from most people's diet that adversely affect their thyroid... Unfortunately, these 2 minerals can also be blocked by the toxins I spoke about last week... And, without these 2 minerals your body literally cannot make active thyroid hormone - Which means many of the thyroid drugs we're giving people are at best masking symptoms and at worst o...

I almost made it to episode 600 without going on a full out rant about one of the most popular diet plans in the world right now! But, I just couldn't hold back any longer and wanted to expose the truth about eating a high fat/low carb diet in the long-term... Remember, just because something has merit in one area of science or weight loss, does not make it a viable long-term solution... The body has to eventually adapt and when it does it can negatively affect stress hormones, digestion, immuni...

Once I realized that accumulating knowledge wasn't enough to actually move forward and accomplish my goals, I began to look for ways to take action... I studied the best. I tried to model their actions, tips and behaviors... And, one of those strategies I can attest to that works exceptionally well is called the "90/90/1 Principle." Although it's been stated in many different ways over the years, I like how Robin Sharma broke it down and crystalized it... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 598 for...

Thank you for tuning back into our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I'm excited to share this week's community Q&A with you. Here are today's amazing questions: Rose: I have a niece and a great niece that suffers from eczema very bad. They have looked to traditional medicine and natural path medicine to try and find a answer. They have went through the usual limitation diets, cleanses, And out of desperation have even used traditional drugs. At times they both have had some improvement b...

Poor posture has far more to do than with just aesthetics or how you present yourself to the world... The rounding of your shoulders, curving of your lower back, swaying of your hips, locking out of your knees, as well as other postural deviations can set you up for a host of health issues... Pain, headaches, tension, and numbness are just a few of those symptoms associated with poor posture... Today on the #CabralConcept 595 I'll detail all the symptoms of poor posture, what proper posture is, ...

Although I love all forms of exercise, some specific modalities do work better than others when it comes to increasing lifespan... One way that I'm measuring aging in my Functional Medicine practice is through Telomere testing , which essentially tells you how quickly your body is breaking down... Although some people get nervous about finding out their true "biological age," I believe it's a great thing to know... Since knowing your biological age (not chronological) allows you a baseline as to...

When it comes to healing your thyroid one of the issues that's often overlooked is toxicity... This also goes well beyond leaky gut/intestinal permeability and has more to do with certain heavy metals that disrupt this delicate gland... And if these specific heavy metals are high, they'll actually block your thyroid's ability to make activated thyroid hormone (T3)...

There are times when your health or weight loss issues can be quite complicated... But more times than not, I've found that there can be just a couple of systems out of balance, which are holding you back from your goals...

Very pleased with the info and insights discussed on your podcast. My question is in regards to chemotherapy. My father (61 yo) was diagnosed with a bladder tumor which was surgically removed 2 months ago.

I'm happy to have you and can't wait to share our community's questions with you now: Jen: Hi Dr. Cabral I am experiencing Brain Fog, joint pain in my knees, some numbness in my arms when I am sleeping, lower back pain, bloating, fatigue to a point of unmotivated to do anything, especially after eating, and some constipation.

What if there was a vitamin that could not only decrease your stress, and increase your energy, but also boost your mood? What if I also told you that this vitamin also protected your cardiovascular system, nervous system, liver, and even helped to prevent dimentia... Would you be interested? I think most of us would answer yes to that question, especially since this is also one of those vitamins that I can become depleted through increased exercise, poor nutrition, weak digestion, and stressful...

Our current cultural philosophy says that we need to continue to push forward even when our bodies are signaling us to stop and slow down... So when I'm asked if you should workout when tired, I often have to share advice that may run contrary to popular belief... However, one thing I typically recommend people to do is not to skip their regular workout, but instead simply modify it for that day... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 587 for exactly how to modify your workout and when to skip your ...

There seems to be some confusion over inflammation as something that is bad for our body... Inflammation is not something to try to squelch, reduce, or avoid unless it is a life saving situation... Believe it or not, inflammation is your friend! It's a natural healing process and it's trying to tell you something... It's telling you something is wrong at a deeper level and that something must be rebalanced before something else goes really wrong... This is why you should never ignore inflammatio...

Within the next decade the new statistics state that 1 in 2 will get cancer in their lifetime... This is a travesty of where our values have gone in society. Instead of asking why we are seeing such an insane spike, we focus on how can we find a pharmaceutical cure... It makes no sense at all, but it is ultimately the reality that many people will face unless they begin to detoxify and follow certain healthy habits to combat the over 77,000 man made toxins in the environment... At the top of tha...
