Hopefully by now we all realize hypey, quick-fix approaches in life rarely ever produce the long-term results we're looking for... However, what has always stood the test of time are ancient healing principles for both mind and body that when followed help to rebalance your entire being... And, I believe the only reason they're not being followed is because there's too much "mystery" or confusion surrounding them... So on today's #CabralConcept 704 I want to share with you the simplified version...

It's partly media driven and partly the society we've grown up in, but our conditioning has been so warped that we come to expect immediate results... And when we don't get results that week or maybe even the same day, we throw in the towel and give up on the plan we felt was going to get us the results we were searching for... The problem is that this type of thinking keeps us stuck in the proverbial quicksand always struggling to pull ourselves out of our current situation... Tune into today's...

I got my start in the health field by working in gyms and "cutting my teeth" by helping clients transform their bodies through exercise... However, what I quickly realized was that there wasn't a one-size-fits-all approach that I could use to template workouts no matter who walked through the door... This discovery then led me to be able to look at and treat each client as an individual that needed specific guidelines in order to make sure that their workout was customized based on their needs.....

Losing weight has so much more to do than calories in versus calories out... Sure, in the short-term you can lose weight by depriving your body of fuel through food, but in the long term you want to be able to lose weight without damaging your metabolism... The reason I mention this is that I see too many people starving themselves of good quality nutrition and as a result their hormones begin to suffer, which then causes other health issues as a side effect... On today's #CabralConcept 698 I sh...

Although I love the Holidays, what I don’t always enjoy is the dramatic amount of sugary foods at every turn... And although a treat every once and awhile is no big deal for most, the daily sugar intake many people unknowingly consume is literally dangerous... This is why beginning with awareness is the key to overcoming the health, weight gain, wellness, and aging issues associated with increased sugar consumption... Tune into today’s #CabraConcept 697 to find out the 10 toxic side effects of s...

The majority of people use the New Year to give themselves a fresh start and with that often times comes some form of goal setting... While I'm a huge proponent of setting goals I often see people in my practice get overwhelmed as to where to start and how many goals to set... And since the New Year should be a fun and exciting time (rather than one of anxiety) it's important to stay focused on what you can accomplish in the next few months... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 696 for the details...

Most people get bored of doing cardio really quickly... After all, there's only so far you can run or bike, and in the Winter this becomes even more complicated since most of your cardio will need to be done indoors...

This is why I call it the forgotten form of cardio and on today's #CabralConcept 692 I want to share with you how it can boost your metabolism, and improve both your anaerob...

Have you ever felt lost in life? Not really knowing if you're on the correct path or not? Or, maybe even trying to come to grips with who you really are as a person and what you want out of life? These are normal questions that most of struggle with at one point or another, yet no one cares to admit to them publicly...

Our connection with the natural rhythm of the day and seasons runs much deeper than most of us ever think about...

Often times we talk about how someone just needs to exercise more and eat less to lose weight, but what happens when that doesn't work... Do they just do more of that same thing? Or do they need to look elsewhere for their weight loss or slow metabolism dysfunction? As a Functional Medicine practitioner I can tell you first hand that there are specific reasons why someone may have a slow metabolism that have very little to do with how much they move or eat...

Before posting on this specific topic, I decided to see what others may be reading on "Dr. Google" for this exact question... So I typed in, " should I snack before bed ," and what I found for answers literally shocked me...

You'd be hard pressed to find a Functional Medicine Doctor that doesn't believe in supporting your body's natural ability to remove toxins like heavy metals, VOCs, excess hormone metabolites, etc... However, what often times happens is that life gets in the way after a detox or cleanse and you begin to slide back into previous habits that caused the dis-ease, weight gain, or general "unhealthiness" in the first place...

It finally looks like conventional medicine has seen the light when it comes to using "protein shakes," as a healthy part of a daily diet... It may have taken a few decades of consistent research for them to come around, but the results of adding in a smoothie or protein shake on a daily basis are hard to refute... There are dozens of reasons for this, but one in particular is that a protein shake "crowds out" other poor nutritional choices while fortifying your body with the vitamins, minerals,...

The dictionary defines being in a "funk" as a state of depression or trying to avoid a task or thing out of fear... Simply put, I think we can all relate to being in a funk as feeling like you're stuck in quick sand and that no matter what you do you only seem to sink deeper into the hole you're in… Since none of us want to remain in this state, we need to be able to flip the switch whenever we want in order to get into a flow state where everything in life seems to move us effortlessly to our g...
