The Cabral Concept

Goals may vary between individuals, but the one thing that doesn't change is the methodologies of achieving them... High achievers, no matter what the job, sport, health or life goal is, all use specific disciplines in order to make their vision become a reality... Today, on #CabralConcept 682 I want to share with you the top 2 things you need to do right now to make 2018 your best year yet - Enjo...

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! 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! Taylor : Hello Dr Cabral, I've learned so much about hormones from your podcast and it has been so helpful. I clearly am showing signs of lower progesterone. Wondering what are the ways to boos...

Welcome back to this week's #FridayReview where I'll be sharing some of my favorite products & recommendations from my Functional Medicine practice! But before we get to the product reviews, I want to share with you a phenomenal "vegan eggnog" recipe that will make your Holiday season that much healthier (and tastier!)... Then, we'll answer the question for those looking to break into the health f...

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...

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...

Seasonal Affective Disorder is a real thing and it lowers the quality of life of millions of people around the world... It causes the "Winter blues," low mood, depression, fatigue, weight gain, inability to focus, difficulty sleeping, and many other unwanted side effects... The bright side of things is that there are natural ways that you can overcome these seasonal mood dampening symptoms, so tha...

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 w...

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! 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.

Welcome back to another #FridayReview where I share my favorite products, books, research, and other items I use in my private practice that are helping people get well, lose weight, and feel great! The 1st item is one of my favorite books on psychology and deals with how to increase your happiness factor in friendships, family, raising children, and in your work... The 2nd review is a fun new way...

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...

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 yoursel...

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 rea...

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 f...

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...

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... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 664 to discove...

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... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 663 to find out if you are eating too ma...

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...

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 minds...
