I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started! Ellie: I am 20 years old and am very active.

I do intermittent fasting and have been doing fasted cardio about 3 days per week. Will this diminish my muscles? Al...

Some people don't need any more motivation to exercise, but for the average person getting in a workout takes a little bit of "psyching up..." The good news is that there are so many reasons to exercise you simply have to choose the right one that will get you moving in the right direction... So on today's #CabralConcept 671 I want to share with you why it's so important (and effective) to workout before you go out to eat a big meal - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://Step...

The Holidays can be a real challenging time of the year when it comes to trying to stay healthy, fit, lean, stress-free, and not get sick... On one hand you want to enjoy your time with friends, family, and at social events, but on the other hand you don't want to start the New Year, bloated, exhausted, overweight, and unhealthy... Personally, I believe there is a way to still get to enjoy yourself while maintaining all the work you've been putting in over these past 12 months... Tune into today...

Too often we're just labeled by our doctors, society, or the media as being depressed, anxious, apathetic, ADD, or exhibiting "addictive behaviors... Then, pharmaceutical companies would have us treat our natural symptoms of bodily and brain dis-ease with unnatural synthetic drugs that don't actually explain why you feel this way, or how you got here... However, since we know there is always a reason why the body gets out of balance or begins to feel a certain way we can begin to look at your sy...

As far as any of us can tell the complete absence of suffering in our life doesn't seem like a feasible goal to strive for... And that's because highs and lows are part of the human experience - It's actually essential to our growth, since it's impossible to appreciate either one without the other... That's why on today's #CabralConcept 668 I don't want you to fight a winless battle, but instead focus on the 1 thing you can control in your life - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources:...

I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started! Megan: Hi Dr Cabral, as always, thank you so much for taking the time to answer my question. I wrote in a few weeks back about my 10 year old son and how we healed his leaky gut which in turn eleviated the eye tics he was having.

Check out today's questions: Anonymous: hello! I heard you mention to go backwards to see what has worked in the past. For my acne, growing up I was put on antibiotic "zpacks" 1x a month some years. I was also on 2 separate rounds of Accutane. Both of these "treatments' works while taking them. After I was off the antibiotic...

I'm looking forward to today's #FridayReview and can't wait to bring you 2 popular request items and some brand new research into cancer... The first item is based on an ancient Chinese Medicine formula and has literally been dubbed a "miracle rub" when it comes to reliving pain within minutes... The 2nd topic I'm going to bring you is on a single lifestyle change you can make in order to not become 1 of the 1,000,000 new cancer cases in 2018... And finally, I want to share an excellent book on ...

Although I'm a huge advocate of exercise and the benefits it provides the body (both short and long-term), there is a part that's often missing from many people's routine... And that part is stretching - Namely completing certain flexibility movements after your workout in order to calm the nervous system and begin the healing and recovery process...

Contrary to popular belief right now carbohydrates are not the enemy... However, we all have a unique upper limit as to how many we can consume based on a variety of factors such as body type, metabolic rate, activity level, etc... The trick is finding out if you're at just the right amount or if you may have gone too far...

Until recently it was assumed that everyone aged according to their genetic code and that outside factors didn't play any role... However, today's medical science has proven that their are a handful lifestyle factors that can slow or reverse the aging process... One of the ways we're able to study these anti-aging factors is by the effect they have on telomere length, which are biological markers that tell us how fast we are "breaking down..." Tune into today's #CabralConcept 662 for the 5 prove...

It's hard to imagine taking life advice from a lobster, but today's analogy may just hold the answer you are looking for... In today's "pill for every ill" mindset we often lose sight of the fact that we don't always need to mask our symptoms... This same mindset holds true when it comes to us feeling a little down, depressed, or anxious... Sometimes what we really need is a reframing of our mindset while being sensitive and respectful to the fact that some people really are going through trying...

By now you've probably noticed that you can have 2 people that are the same height, but have very different body shapes and sizes... These same two people can literally eat the same amount of calories per day, yet one person gains weight and the other loses weight... How can this be? The discrepancy comes from our unique body types, which allow for many varying attributes - one of which is our metabolism... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 657 to discover how many calories you need to eat everyd...

Today I want to share with you 5 foods that when eaten immediately begin to slow your metabolism and deteriorate your health... The reason they do this is because they can throw off your hormones such as insulin, cortisol, and estrogen... And when your fat burning and fat storing mechanisms get out of whack you end up gaining weight due to the slowing of your metabolic rate...

Although the phrase, "beauty is created from the inside out" is often uttered softly in the skincare world, not enough real merit is given to that fact... The food we put in our body literally decides the expression of our genes, wellness, weight, aging, and even the quality of our skin (and hair)... So when we choose to put high-nutrient quality, skin-nourishing whole foods in our body we are in turn materializing beautiful glowing skin...

I used to believe that I could pull myself out of a depressed state or "funk" by trying to be more Zen or let things just roll off me as if they didn't matter... After all this is what a lot of the current dogma and books preach, but the problem was that this advice simply didn't pan out in the real world... The reason you can't go from feeling apathetic and overwhelmed to Zen is that there are a few other levels in between that you need to ascend up the ladder on in order to reach a higher stat...

By now, we all know that most of the beverages we consume should come from pure clean water, but sometimes that can get a little monotonous and boring... When that happens it's important to understand that there are equally hydrating and healthy options...

When it comes to pre and post workout nutrition there is definitely not a one-size fits all approach... Things like waiting 1 hour to eat, or eating immediately after a workout to "seize the window" are contradicting statements that are often touted as absolutes, but nothing could be further from the truth... The science lies in a customized approach to fit one's individual goals of whether you're looking to mainly lose weight (fat) or gain weight (muscle)... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 650...

Today, I get the opportunity to share with you an interview I did just about a week ago where I got "put under the lights" by one of the top podcasts in business & entrepreneurship... I was asked to explain why I don't believe in "disease" as we currently know it and to share my philosophy on how to get well, lose weight, and feel alive again! It was a lot of fun and we got to go deep on some topics I haven't explored in this fashion on my podcast, which is why I'm looking forward to sharing...

Nutrition is one of those topics that can get so specific and tedious that it often holds people back from doing what really matters the most... Essentially, you can make tracking calories, macros, micros, meal timing, etc. your entire day, or you can choose to live and eat simply (and practically)... I understand that my private clients our community members have no interest in making nutrition more complicated than it has to be, but they still want the benefits of looking and feeling great tha...

I’ve made the analogy before that I’d rather fail 5 out of 10 times and be able to recalibrate than wait for the perfect moment and hope I succeed right of the gate... However, the popular schooling over the last 50 years had been that you should do everything in your power not to fail - We’re told as children and students to do all we can avoid failure at all costs... Not only does this crush our psyche, but it leaves us living in mediocrity while we never really go for our dreams and at the sa...

Rebecca: Hi Dr. Cabral, I am in the middle of doing the 21 day detox. After the first week of the detox, my menstrual period came and it was a week earlier than I was expecting it! My periods are usually pretty predictable - every 28-30 days. Can you explain why this happened during the detox?...
