The Cabral Concept

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 balance...

The worst time to think about your brain health is after you get the diagnosis of Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, dementia, memory loss, or some other brain related dis-ease... And the problem is that most doctors will never test for things like cortisol levels, heavy metals, or other factors that can "burn out" and "rust out" your brain... The good news is that we know that there are certain labs you c...

It doesn't matter who you are, where you were born, or even how successful you currently are right now... Eventually you're going to hit a point of stress and frustration that stems from not being able to take your goals and life to that next level you desire... It's at this point that you need to sit yourself down and have a real chat about how the knowledge, experience, and know-how you've accum...

Izziness, We're back with our 2nd day of the Cabral HouseCalls and I'm looking forward to sharing with you more of our community's questions... Let's get started! Leilani : Dear Dr Cabral, I have tried dry brushing twice and each time I start off, I'm fine for around 2 to 3 weeks after which my legs start to itch! I brush for a few minutes before showering and then when I dry my legs after coming...

It's that time again! Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCalls where we answer our community's questions each and every week! Here are today's Q&A topics: Irene : Hello, I have type 2 diabetes. I was diagnosed about 3 years ago. A few days ago I ordered your Protocal package and I'm looking forward to start using it. I will also be doing the three day fast that I recently heard on one of your...

We all know that food is our best medicine, but you may not know that certain foods have special qualities... That means that certain foods possess innate attributes that can improve very specific health imbalances... Every 4-6 months I try to add new foods into my diet that I purposely use as "supplements" in order to further improve different aspects of my health... Tune into #CabralConcept 602...

When it comes to exercise and working out the secret is always in the details... This is one of the reasons why you'll often see some people exercising  half the time as others and getting better results from their workouts! Training your abs and core is no different. You need to know how, when, and for how long to train that muscle group to get the best results... tune into today's #CabralConcept...

Last week I shared the 4 toxins that are toxic to your thyroid and inhibit it from functioning well... Now I want to detail the 2 minerals that are missing from most people's diet that adversely affect their thyroid... Unfortunately, these 2 minerals can also be blocked by the toxins I spoke about last week... And, without these 2 minerals your body literally cannot make active thyroid hormone - W...

I almost made it to episode 600 without going on a full out rant about one of the most popular diet plans in the world right now! But, I just couldn't hold back any longer and wanted to expose the truth about eating a high fat/low carb diet in the long-term... Remember, just because something has merit in one area of science or weight loss, does not make it a viable long-term solution... The body...

Once I realized that accumulating knowledge wasn't enough to actually move forward and accomplish my goals, I began to look for ways to take action... I studied the best. I tried to model their actions, tips and behaviors... And, one of those strategies I can attest to that works exceptionally well is called the "90/90/1 Principle." Although it's been stated in many different ways over the years,...

Thank you for tuning back into our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I'm excited to share this week's community Q&A with you. Here are today's amazing questions: Rose : I have a niece and a great niece that suffers from eczema very bad. They have looked to traditional medicine and natural path medicine to try and find a answer. They have went through the usual limitation diets, cleanses, And ou...

Welcome back to our 1st Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! Here are our community questions for today: Anonymous : Hi Dr. Cabral! Long time listener, first time caller! ;) My question is about raw foods & being a classic vata. I am a whole-foods vegan with very occasional dairy here & there. I am a classic vata... very small boned, always cold (I wear pants all summer in Phoenix), high anxiety, and...

Poor posture has far more to do than with just aesthetics or how you present yourself to the world... The rounding of your shoulders, curving of your lower back, swaying of your hips, locking out of your knees, as well as other postural deviations can set you up for a host of health issues... Pain, headaches, tension, and numbness are just a few of those symptoms associated with poor posture... To...

Although I love all forms of exercise, some specific modalities do work better than others when it comes to increasing lifespan... One way that I'm measuring aging in my Functional Medicine practice is through Telomere testing , which essentially tells you how quickly your body is breaking down... Although some people get nervous about finding out their true "biological age," I believe it's a grea...

When it comes to healing your thyroid one of the issues that's often overlooked is toxicity... This also goes well beyond leaky gut/intestinal permeability and has more to do with certain heavy metals that disrupt this delicate gland... And if these specific heavy metals are high, they'll actually block your thyroid's ability to make activated thyroid hormone (T3)... Tune into today's #CabralConce...

There are times when your health or weight loss issues can be quite complicated... But more times than not, I've found that there can be just a couple of systems out of balance, which are holding you back from your goals... For example, all of the different health issues on today's show all seem unrelated, but believe it or not, they could all be a symptom of one missing mineral... Tune into today...

Have you ever wanted to just give it all up and just run away? If you've ever felt this way, you're not alone - It happens to most of us more than we care to admit... However, sometimes we misunderstand this feeling for what our deepest feelings are really trying to tells us... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 591 on why you don't need to escape or run away from it all and what those feelings real...

Welcome back to this weekend's 2nd Cabral HouseCall! I'm so happy to have you back and we have more amazing community questions to answer, so let's get started! Paula : Hi doc. Very pleased with the info and insights discussed on your podcast. My question is in regards to chemotherapy. My father (61 yo) was diagnosed with a bladder tumor which was surgically removed 2 months ago. A week ago (witho...

Thank you for joining me this weekend on the Cabral HouseCalls! I'm happy to have you and can't wait to share our community's questions with you now: Jen: Hi Dr. Cabral I am experiencing Brain Fog, joint pain in my knees, some numbness in my arms when I am sleeping, lower back pain, bloating, fatigue to a point of unmotivated to do anything, especially after eating, and some constipation. I do sit...

What if there was a vitamin that could not only decrease your stress, and increase your energy, but also boost your mood? What if I also told you that this vitamin also protected your cardiovascular system, nervous system, liver, and even helped to prevent dimentia... Would you be interested? I think most of us would answer yes to that question, especially since this is also one of those vitamins...

Our current cultural philosophy says that we need to continue to push forward even when our bodies are signaling us to stop and slow down... So when I'm asked if you should workout when tired, I often have to share advice that may run contrary to popular belief... However, one thing I typically recommend people to do is not to skip their regular workout, but instead simply modify it for that day.....

There seems to be some confusion over inflammation as something that is bad for our body... Inflammation is not something to try to squelch, reduce, or avoid unless it is a life saving situation... Believe it or not, inflammation is your friend! It's a natural healing process and it's trying to tell you something... It's telling you something is wrong at a deeper level and that something must be r...

Within the next decade the new statistics state that 1 in 2 will get cancer in their lifetime... This is a travesty of where our values have gone in society. Instead of asking why we are seeing such an insane spike, we focus on how can we find a pharmaceutical cure... It makes no sense at all, but it is ultimately the reality that many people will face unless they begin to detoxify and follow cert...

I find it interesting that at times a lot of what my consultations turn into is helping people on the psychological side of healing... Originally, I thought my private practice would be more of a straight forward interpretation of Functional Medicine lab testing and Personalized Wellness Plan designs... But what I've realized is that in order to help someone truly heal, you must treat the individu...

I'm excited to bring you part 2 of our weekend Cabral #HouseCalls where I answer our community questions on all things wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging! Here are today's questions: Kevin : Dr Cabral, So I have been following your work for about 5 years when I bought and implemented the teachings in "A Man's Guide to Muscle and Strength". I was looking for a program to follow, and this fit the...
