The Cabral Concept

No matter what you may be currently suffering from, it almost always ties back to your gut health... The reason for this is that 80% of your entire immune system lies inside and surrounding your approximately 28 feet of digestive tract (intestines)... Plus, if your gut health is imbalanced you will not properly break down and assimilate your food - leading to malabsorption and nutrient deficiencie...

Until just a few hundred years ago it was vitally important that we looked out into the world with a comparative eye... It would have often been life or death situations, and therefore, crucial that we would be constantly judging and comparing ourselves to our environment... The issue is that in 2017 we're still stuck with this "compare and contrast" mentality - And that thought process is causing...

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral #HouseCalls! We have some amazing questions this weekend starting with these 6 community questions today: Emily: Hi Dr Cabral, I need to get all four of my wisdom teeth extracted in a month. What can I do before and after surgery to help me heal faster and detox from the anesthesia? Thanks!   MariEllen: I went to the doctor for trouble swallowing. Got tested for...

We're back with another #FridayReview bringing you the very best of my favorite wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging products from the week! Today, I'm sharing some new #blueblocker UV based research, as well as a more stylish pair of cortisol managing shades. Next up, I'm reviewing two products that we have in our fitness studio to help clients use a self-massage technique to open up tight muscl...

A few years back barefoot training (not wearing shoes while working out or running) began to catch fire all over the world... And while there are many pros to not wearing shoes while running I explained back on episode 103 that just switching to barefoot running can be potentially very harmful... Today though, I'd like to share with you the top 7 benefits I see to working out (resistance training/...

Most people are aware of the normal food allergy and sensitivity reactions such as skin rashes, hives, or at worst anaphylaxis... But did you know that there are quite a number of other food sensitivity reactions that are a bit more hidden... The reason I say that is because these reactions can happen days later or show up as symptoms that may seem completely unrelated to the foods you ate... Tune...

Anxiety and mood disorders affect more than 40 million people in just the US alone... Anxiety, OCD, Panic Attacks, Social Anxiety, Depression and PTSD are both mental and physical health issues that can hold you back from reaching your full potential in life... My goal is to make sure you don't have to live with these debilitating issues your entire life and cannabinoids are one example of plant-b...

Without a doubt the hardest part about taking action on our new goal or dream is that we have to start back again at ground zero... This can be intimidating to think that you may have to leave your current comfort zone and go after a new career, relationship, body transformation, or wellness goal for the "first time" again... The good news is that starting from scratch can often times be a blessin...

Welcome back to our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! We have some amazing questions lined up for you today, so let's get started: Amanda: Hi Dr. Cabral. Love the show. Last September I switched birth control contraceptives. I had been on the pill for about 10 years. I switched to the cooper IUD (paragard). I've had spotting almost every single month since the switch. I was told this was normal...

I'm excited to bring you our first Cabral #HouseCall of the weekend where I share answers top our community's wellness, weight loss and anti-aging questions! Here are today's Q&A topics: Jodi: Hi Dr. Cabral, Love your podcasts. I started listening about a month ago and I'm learning lots. What are your thoughts on the new fascia blaster that is being advertised to break up cellulite? I'm wondering...

Our #FridayReview today is dedicated to the one mineral that most people are missing... Every year I run over a thousand Functional Medicine lab tests in my practice and from a underlying root cause level, I see one vital element missing from people's biochemistry... Without enough stores of this mineral, anxiety, insomnia, restlessness, heart arrhythmia's, fatigue, skin issues, headaches, and man...

The challenge amongst health & fitness experts is trying to recommend a program that best works for the greatest amount of people... For some people, working out while in a fasted state can work quite well. But for others it spells disaster... Although I've shared on a previous podcast if you should skip breakfast and workout, today I want to bring you new research that may just have found a happy...

It's almost universally agreed upon that eating too much processed food will lead to an increase in disease, weight gain, mood disorders, and premature death... But did you know that there are 5 specific food groups that can help you get well, lose weight, and live longer? Today, I'm going to take you through each one of those specific foods groups and why each one of them is extremely important t...

Right now, statistics show 1 out of every 3 people will get cancer in their lifetime... And by the year 2030, that number will increase to 1 out if 2. Just as bad, the cost of getting cancer set you back over $100,000 in "treatments"... These are some scary stats that we need to start doing something about right now. And, one of the best ways to help prevent cancer in the first place is by what we...

Although it's not very well known one of the main drivers for success is how you speak to yourself... This refers to the non-verbal, as well as the words spoken out loud where you're either building yourself up or putting yourself down... Most of the time we're completely unaware of this self-talk that is always taking place, but the truth is that until we get this sun-conscious speak to work for...

Thank you for joining us for the 2nd day of our Cabral HouseCalls! Here is today's community Q&A: Shawn: Hi Dr Cabral, Can you recommend a protocol to heal a tear around the area of the anal sphincter. It was likely caused by poor diet choices and major constipation. I've cleaned up my diet (no wheat, dairy, etc), but the wound does reopen every few months or so. Lisa: Hi Dr. Cabral, Loving your p...

Welcome back! Today we'll be starting Part 1 of this weekend's Cabral #HouseCalls where we answer our community's questions. Here are today's questions: Kerry: Please give me your thoughts on rice flour (looking for gluten free options) I was tempted to buy sprout brown rice flour but remembered that its recommended to have rice sparingly due to the natural arsenic in it. Is this something I shoul...

I can't believe it's already the end of the week and of course that can mean only one thing - our #FridayReview ! Today, I'll be sharing with you the best way to turn "dead" filtered water back into living water again with just a few drops of ionic minerals... Next up, I'll be sharing my favorite workplace ergonomic tools as a follow up to yesterday's podcast on the top posture tips... And finally...

I don't do a lot of interviews on the Cabral concepts, but when I do I like to bring you top experts that you may not have ever heard of... This allows you to get a different perspective and hear information in a new way that can help you improve your overall health and wellness... And today, I want to introduce you to Dr. Krista Burns of the American Postural Institute who discusses with me the "...

In the very near future you'll hear more about the power of Functional Medicine Testing in the media... Although it's been around for decades, unfortunately many people haven't been exposed to a resource that very well may be the catalyst that helps them achieve their wellness, weight loss, or anti-aging goals... The reason I'm so passionate about this is that Functional Medicine lab testing is wh...

Some people are desperately seeking medical help trying to figure out what is wrong with them... The problem is that they are looking to be told they have some name of a "disease" that they can then hang their hat on and finally feel like their pain and suffering is justified... Although I've been through this myself and I truly understand this longing for an answer, the problem is that being diag...

Sometimes the thought of running away from it all is very enticing... It's caused many a person to daydream about moving to a quiet island and living out the rest of their days in a state of perpetual relaxation... This idea can be a draw, but will it actually make you happy?  On today's #CabralConcept 486 we explore this concept of happiness and many others before finally pinning down why happine...
