The Cabral Concept

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 met...

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... Tune into today's #C...

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...

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...

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! Megan: Hello! absolutely love your podcast and have the highest respect for you and what you do! That being said, I need your help! I am having the hardest time losing weight! I have a functiona...

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions: Tyler: Hi Stephen, I am an avid listener of your podcast and I'm pretty sure I have listened to almost every single one of your episodes over the last 14 months. I have learned more from you than I...

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... By understanding what else is available and when it's best to drink those, you'll be able to stay on track with your health and body transforma...

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...

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 topi...

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 m...

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...

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! 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 ar...

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions: Irene: Hi Dr. Cabral, about 10 years ago, I was diagnosed with lymphedema. The area associated with it is my left ankle. It stays swollen 24/7. Most of the time it isn't painful, but it looks horri...

Although I believe in all forms of medicine it's becoming increasingly difficult to get behind conventional medicine after the latest news of bribes, deceit, and manipulation... I'm also finding it equally as difficult to support fast food "restaurants" even if they are trying to provide a lower cost option due to their blatant deception of what they're hiding in their "food"... Tune into today's...

While it's hard to draw straws on the best exercises for fat burning, I did want to share with you a few that stand out... On today's show I'll give specific examples of movements that cause the body more "stress" and as a results will provide far greater fat burning effects... These effects are also not just a temporary uptick in calorie burning - They actually boost your metabolism for up to 36...

Rather than pretend that it's not harder for women to burn body fat at the same rate as men I'd rather share with you the reasons why that is... I figure that if you understand why men lose fat easier than women you can then use these "bio-hacks" to your advantage and try to ramp up your own natural fat burning systems... For more information on the 5 factors of why men burn more fat than women tu...

Believe it or not, there actually is a hierarchy of nutritional supplements... Superfoods, herbs, and tinctures all fall into the healing category of nice to have, but they do not necessarily meet your body's base-level nutrient requirements... You see, the body actually needs a very specific set of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and other cofactors necessary to carry on its daily processes... T...

To quote Jim Rohn, "Too many of us walk down to the ocean with a teaspoon instead of a bucket..." Many of you already understand that you deserve more out of life and your goals have largely been left unmet... And when hopes, dreams, and goals remain unanswered we are left with a low-level sense of despair, discouragement, and anxiety... So although I agree that goal setting is important, what's b...

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! Amanda: Hey Doc, Thanks for all your amazing information. You continue to help me guide my clients to the highest form of health. I have a client with quite a great number of food sensitivities....

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows!  This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Melissa: Hi Dr. Cabral - my question is this: I am currently expecting my first baby (early December). I am choosing to have a natural birth at a birthing center and am hoping that you can steer me in the right direction for...

I know there are thousands of diet variations on the market, but there is only one true foundation for human nutrition... Meaning, you can choose high fat/low fat, high carb/low carb, high protein/low protein, but in the end unless you're basing your diet plan around low glycemic, anti-inflammatory foods that are high in antioxidants you are missing the mark... Again, this may not matter to you in...

Although movement must be a part of everyone's daily and weekly routine, the amount of exercise should actually change based on the individual... Unfortunately, in our all-for-one culture we have lost the bio-individuality component to allow for some diversity amongst recommendations... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 636 for details on how to exercise right for your type, so that you don't over...

I'll be the first person to say that there is no need or benefit to being super skinny, but when I do speak on the topic of weight loss it's because of the health issues associated with it... Many people don't realize that there are over a dozen "diseases" and a half-dozen cancers that increase in risk the more over weight a person becomes... This is why losing weight first and foremost is a healt...

I had previously done a podcast on "What your tongue says about your health," and today I'd like to follow up along the same lines... However, today we'll be assessing your nails and what all the different deviations from the norm may mean... For example, if you have dry, brittle, peeling, ridged, white, dark red, pitted, black specks, white spots, or brown lines they can all mean that there may b...

Every once in awhile we all get to a place that seems dark, dreadful and hard to pull ourselves out of... If you ever find yourself here, don't despair and do understand that there is always hope... You can and will find a way out as long as you do not give up and you look towards the success of others... There is someone out there that has been where you are right now and has made it out to the o...
