Detoxification Protocols

Yesterday we spoke about the 3 telltale signs of fatigue and today we will build off of that in order to learn how to heal… The biggest problem I see in a person's recovery process is that they are not looking at the body as a whole interconnected system… Instead, they are trying to "treat" individual acute symptoms without regard for healing at the deeper foundational levels… (Note: This is why s...

If you're interested in state-of-the-art science into getting well and living longer today's show is going to be action-packed! Most people have been taught that the only way to increase autophagy (self-healing/cleaning) is to fast, and while that is one great way there are others that can be equally effective… Tune into today's #CabralConcept 1369 to discover 9 ways to increase autophagy to live...

Have you ever felt like blah after a night of indulgent eating, poor sleep, drinking, or overdoing it on vacation? If so, one of the fastest ways to get yourself back on track is to "reset" your digestive system while balancing healthy levels of blood sugar and inflammation… It's not magic and it works by combining the science of fasting with strategic windows of easily digestible nutrients… Today...

A lot of times we brush off our symptoms of low energy, brain fog, and other nagging health issues… We simply chalk them up to aging, stress, poor sleep, etc., but that simply isn't the case for most people… What many people don't realize is that there is often a breakdown in the body's (liver) detoxification abilities that allow it to begin to accumulate the thousands of toxins we are exposed to...

There are hundreds of popular diets out right now, but how many can say that they are looking out for your long-term health?

It's time we begin to look at the extra weight we may be holding as strictly body fat – It's simply not always the case… The added pounds can be due to water retention, toxic water weight, high cortisol levels, and much more… This type of weight gain shows up as swelling, puffiness, and an overall softer look to the face and body… On today's #CabralConcept 1174 we will go through how to reduce the...

If you have Candida, SIBO, bacterial overgrowth, parasites, mold, heavy metals, or toxicity levels of any type it has to be removed in order for you to heal… The problem is that it has to be done in a way that doesn't cause massive "die-off" reactions that can make you feel even worse (even if temporary)… That's why on today's #CabralConcept 1145 I want to explain how to avoid Herxheimer reactions...

I enjoy keeping an eye out for all of the latest medical research and news and something that I've been following lately is this fairly new terminology called phase 3 detoxification… This is a very important area of health since rebalancing the gut microbiome is of the utmost importance to getting well, losing weight, and living a long healthy life… However, there is a little bit of controversy su...

It's easy to tell people that to lose weight all they need to do is eat fewer calories and move their body more, but if you've ever tried this very rarely is that the answer for a great number of people… The reason that this is the case is that losing weight and keeping it off has much more to do with a person's nervous system state, hormones, toxicity levels, and overall metabolic rate… And on to...

I hope by now you've heard about the value of completing a Functional Medicine detox, but what you may not know is what actually happens if you don't… It's interesting, but the body has an amazing way of surviving in a toxic world and keeping itself alive – Even if that means harming certain parts to keep the others going… On today's #CabralConcept 1117 We'll explore how your brain and body gets l...

I don't think anyone could love the health & fitness industry more than me – It gave me back my health, wellness, mindset and a career where I truly enjoy going to work every day… But, a few marketing companies out there disguised as genuine supplement, health, and fitness trying to help people are starting to give the rest of us a bad name… Tune into today's #CabralConcept 1068 to become aware of...

As they say, the easiest way to get well, lose weight, and feel more energetic is not to fall into that position in the first place, but… Of course, that can seem easier said than done, so today I wanted to actually give you the play-by-play "Holiday Survival Guide" I'm sharing with my private wellness clients this year… Tune into today's #CabralConcept 1019 to discover how to use the one-day diet...

The modern day medical research of toxicology has proven without a shadow of a doubt how poisonous our environment is… However, even 6000 years ago they already knew the significance of how everyday toxins affect our body… They also knew that unless these toxins are regularly and systematically removed from the body they are what create disease… Tune into today's #CabralConcept 958 for all the det...

I'm more likely to promote a healing modality that's been around for over 1,000 years than I am to go head over heals about the latest "biohack…" I honestly believe that most of what we need to heal our body has already been laid out for us over thousands of years in Ayurvedic medicine and other methodologies… However, I do enjoy seeing these ancient healing techniques being proven by science and...

I had never heard of the term "Total Toxic Load" or "Total Body Burden" until about 12 years ago when I was re-discovering the ancient Eastern practices of detoxifying the body… What was interesting to me is that no matter what form of medicine you study such as Functional Medicine, Ayurvedic Medicine, Bioregulatory Medicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine, etc. (except conventional medicine ; ) you...

If I could make only ONE suggestion on how to help people get well, lose weight, or combat the aging process, it would be with a Functional Medicine detox protocol… It's the one protocol I've seen have more impact on multiple areas of the body than anything else I've ever studied or used in clinical practice… So on today's #CabralConcept 823 I want to take you through how to complete your own 7, 1...

Did you know that until just a couple of hundred years ago, it was common knowledge and practice to detoxify with the changing seasons? Of course, it only makes sense when you think about how your body has to transition and adapt from a colder to warmer environment (as well as dealing with dampness, etc.)… Fortunately, this knowledge has not been lost and through the preserved works of Ayurvedic a...

It doesn't seem possible, but believe it or not, children as young as 8 years old are starting to succumb to adult dis-eases… These include auto-immune issues, diabetes (formerly adult onset), cardiovascular, and now non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (what!)… And if children are susceptible to these toxicities of the modern world just think about the accumulation that has happened by the time you...

What to eat for breakfast is easily the most understood and challenging meal to get right… But, it hasn't always been this way – Up until the 1500's and then later in the 1920's breakfast had always been consistent with healthy living and following the natural digestive processes of the day… The problem is that when modern life and big corporations get involved with the media our version of what i...

This has been a popular question as of late: "How do you go through a cleanse or detox without sliding backwards after you complete the 7, 14, or 21 days?" Believe it or not, the answer is a lot easier than it may seem… The reason for this is that you don't have to be perfect in order to keep your results coming, as well as maintain what you achieved on your detox… What you need to do is simply ke...

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 surr...

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"...

Have you ever wondered what the difference was between a cleanse, a detox, and a fast? Or if there is even a difference at all? I'll be honest, right now most companies market their products completely unaware of the differences, and therefore, you may be mistakenly not getting the results you're looking for… Tune into today's #CabralConcept 627 for all the details on the real differences between...

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 mi...
