Typically when you go on a calorie-cutting diet to lose weight your metabolism inevitably begins to slow down after 6-12 weeks of consistent dieting… This has been shown to occur over and over in the research, yet it is still the most common way people approach the topic (even the “experts”)… The problem is once you’ve slowed your metabolism you need to cut even more calories in order to continue losing weight - eventually you have to eat so little that it’s nearly impossible for anyone to maint...

When it comes to “dieting” the industry really has lost its mind… Every day there seems to be a new insane take on a variation of low carb, high protein, or other wildly imbalanced meal plan… But when you are finally over the madness of fad dieting, I urge you to look at the one diet with over 5,000 scientific notations and the only diet to be deemed the “anti-cancer diet.” Tune into today’s #CabralConcept 2231 for a take on my modified Mediterranean Diet and what I did to make it even healthier...

It’s not hard to believe that some jobs are more stressful than others, but did you know that cutting-edge genetic testing can actually measure how fast your job/stress is aging you?

I don’t necessarily agree with the old Eastern philosophy that life is a constant struggle that we must overcome, however, I do believe that we should find ways to ease our minds… I’ve found in my practice that many people are in a perpetual cycle of struggle and unhappiness mainly due to just a small handful of reasons - that if overcome would make all the difference… That’s why on today’s #CabralConcept 2229 I’d like to share with you the 6 factors that make life easier and how you can impleme...

In this world, it seems difficult to find the middle ground and instead, the two prevailing philosophies are to either go all out in life 24/7 or look for the easiest way out whenever possible. At least in the west, the constant grinding and pushing yourself to the limit has most certainly won out as the dominant culture. The problem is every person regardless of how strong their constitution is will eventually burn out with this mentality. That's why on today's Cabral Concept 2222 I'll be shari...

Mold is one of the top 5 stealth pathogens that affect people’s health without them even realizing it’s at the root cause of their dis-ease… Mold spores are mainly invisible to the naked eye and it’s usually only uncovered after removing ventilation, drywall, or looking at the top mold causing foods… It’s one of the reasons why I like to bring attention to the topic and share real-world, case studies like today’s #CabralConcept 2218 on mold toxicity and how it often shows up as low mood, low ene...

While we may be able to keep people alive longer thanks to medical technology we are certainly not improving people's quality of life. This means that people are being diagnosed with diseases at younger and younger ages every year and most people are on a cocktail of medications by the time they reach their 50s. So for essentially half of an adult's life they will be medicated for a chronic condition that could most likely have been mitigated by implementing certain lifestyle factors that no one...
