The Cabral Concept

Too often we get weighed down by everything we feel we need to accomplish or fix in our life... It happens to all of us. However, unless you come up with a proven strategy you'll end up never truly achieving anything and you'll be left with a pile of half-done "should have's.." This then leads to anxiety, overwhelm, and irritability from the realization that although you're busy moving forward, yo...

Here is today's Q&A: Carolyn:  Hello, my son has a story very similar to your own health journey.

For some people, just the thought of working out is exhausting in itself... For others, their workouts have become "sub-par" and not living up to their potential...

On today's #CabralConcept 454 I share with you "7 Tips to Get Motiv...

It's taken me a long time to actually come around to the thought of using CBD Oil as a nutraceutical in my Functional Medicine practice... I would have liked to have looked into it much sooner, but the legalities and government lockdowns on Naturopathic practitioners using it was too much to contend with... The issue of course is that CBD oil (cannabinoids) are so incredibly powerful for healing t...

It happens to all of us... Anyone that's ever tried to break free of the chains that have been holding them back to a certain level in life has experienced "Growing Pains." The reason for this is 2-fold... Our brain sends signals of anxiety, overwhelm, and apprehension to our body to keep us in our comfort zone. It may not be a particularly happy place, but at least we're familiar with it and have...

Jessie: Thanks for your podcast on castor oil packs. Other castor questions: - Do you recommend this topically for scarring on face? How much? - Do you recommend a tablespoon of castor oil at night, to keep bowl movements going during a cleanse, or in general day to day life.

Working out will always have a special place in my heart... It's the one thing I was able to control when I was sick, feeling down, and unable to recover from some debilitating diseases as a teenager... This led me to studying the finer points of maximizing results in the gym, while ensuring you do not burn out your body for long-term health...

It's hard to believe, but there lies an ancient system of medicine so profound that it often gets overlooked in our "modern" medical outlook... However, it is this 6,000 year-old form of natural medicine, called Ayurveda, that holds the key to understanding your body type and what it needs in order to stay balanced… It is ultimately this balance that keeps you healthy and at an ideal weight for yo...

For most people, the occasional headache doesn't mean too much except to point out that you're overly stressed or that you've come into contact with something you're sensitive to... But, for many people debilitating headaches are an unfortunate part of life that they believe they must manage and live with... The truth is though, that headaches are not a disease, they are a symptom of a much deeper...

Stress is at the core of 95% of all diseases... And much of that stress comes from our relationships: Work, Coworkers, Friends, and Family. Sometimes a relationship that once served you at a certain point in your life, is no longer healthy... You don't want to be cold and just tell someone that they aren't good for you, but you do need to take a poll of what happens when you're with certain people...

I hate to draw straws over which form of exercise is the best, since just getting your body moving is such an important factor in getting healthy, losing weight, and living longer... However, if you're looking to optimize your fat burning potential and get the most bang for your buck, some forms of exercise do outperform others... On today's #CabralConcept #440 I explain what burns more fat: Cardi...

The one thing is common that all weight loss diets that include low carb, keto, high protein, high fat, or high fiber is that they all work by controlling blood sugar... Until you can rebalance your blood sugar and get it low enough (75-95mg/dl) you're going to have a hard to burning body fat...

Turmeric, Omega-3s, and even ginger get a lot of credit as natural pain relievers, but did you know they aren't nearly as strong as some others?
