Sometimes when we're battling wellness, weight loss, or mental health issues we feel all alone – As if no one knows what we are going through… But the truth is you're not alone, and millions of people share your same struggle in their own unique way… That's why on today's show I want to share with you real-world examples of what the timelines, transformations, and getting your life back look like…...

Amanda is going to take us through how she helps women lose weight and feel great about their bodies through sound nutrition and exercise programs… Tune into today's #CabralConcept 1126 to learn more about carb cycling to lose weight with Amanda Tress – Enjoy the sho...

There's only so many times you can "test out" new diets before the eventual frustration sets in and you begin to lose hope… I've seen this thousand of times and it's unfortunate that we've never been told there is another way… This "other way" has to do with going below the surface and asking the question as to "why" you suffer from the symptoms you do… Tune into today's #CabralConcept 1097 to dis...

Welcome back to this week's #FridayReview – the first one of the New Year! Today I'll be reviewing a book on how to decrease stress in many areas of your life as well as add a follow-up study on calcium and weight loss… I also share the start of a brand new segment on "how to read your own lab results." This will hopefully empower people from all over the world to understand what their lab results...

It's interesting to look at all the various diets being promoted right now and seeing the specific correlations as to why some work better than others… If you are suffering from sluggishness, brain fog, fatigue, puffiness, or weight gain we have known for many thousands of years there are certain foods that worsen those conditions… And in order to combat those symptoms of a congested body, you mus...

There's more than one way to transform your body and this includes the dozens of popular diet plans out there right now… However, what I always worry about are the long-term effects that we're willing to do to our bodies to get to our short-term goals… Right now, many people are showing the first signs of a body that is depleted of vital nutrients – But for most, these cries by your body will go u...

Looking for weight loss and body transformation hacks is always an exciting topic and certainly fuels media stories, but there's a dark side to that as well… What no one ever tells you about is the aftermath of using fad diets, short-term solutions, or twisted research studies… Although there are hundreds of ways to lose weight when it comes to permanent weight loss results it always comes back to...

There will never be a shortage of new quick fixes, fat diets, and weight loss tricks promoted by the media… The problem with these is that although they can work in the short term they are setting you up for long-term failure… One of the principles that I preach is that every program you use must not only get you short-term results but also set you up for permanent success… That's why on today's #...

In a world that glamorizes the medical specialist we often times miss the answers that are disabling people from getting well, losing weight, or feeling alive… What we need are more "generalists" that can see how the body is interconnected – Every organ affects the next and without this "wholistic" knowledge a true "cure" can never be found… You don't fix imbalances by masking the symptoms with dr...

If your goal is to transform your body and lose weight, you absolutely must get these hormones under control… Without balancing your hormones, you simply won't be able to process carbohydrates, stress, and toxins, or eliminate fat the way your body was intended to… This means that simply exercising more and eating less will no longer work for you if your hormones are "out of whack"… That's why on...

Did you know that there are actually 3 main "levels" of weight loss and that depending on where you fall within those levels that the type of nutrition and exercise will vary greatly? The truth is that the plan to help someone lose the last 10 lbs is drastically different than the blueprint for losing 50-100 lbs… The trick is to know what is holding you back from ultimately achieving the body and...

Whether you're a health & fitness coach or someone who is looking to transform their own body, it's vital you understand that there's more to losing weight than decreasing calories and moving more… In order to truly master the weight loss game and keep the weight off forever, you must understand the road ahead of you… Because once you understand how the game is played, you'll be able to set up you...

Too often we attribute the benefits of weight loss to strictly being able to fit into smaller clothes and take a few inches off of our bodies… And although I have no problem with someone wanting to lose weight and transform their body for personal body image goals, I believe the main focus should still be on your health… The great news is that while you're losing weight some very unexpected benefi...

In any industry that has the ability to do a lot of good, you'll inevitably find a few "bad actors" that try to smear the good name of those looking to serve others… This is the exact case in the nutritional supplement industry where cutting-edge Ayurvedic, TCM, and Functional Medicine formulas are literally giving people their life back (along with healthy lifestyle modifications), but still, a f...

It doesn't seem possible, but believe it or not, children as young as 8 years old are starting to succumb to adult dis-eases… These include auto-immune issues, diabetes (formerly adult-onset), cardiovascular, and now non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (what!)… And if children are susceptible to these toxicities of the modern world just think about the accumulation that has happened by the time you...

Lowered metabolic rate or low thyroid symptoms have so much more to do with your health than just the inability to keep the weight off… Other symptoms such as brain fog, low mood, fatigue, low body temperature, decreased drive & ambition, as well as hair loss can all be explained by a lowered metabolic state… The good news is that all of this is reversible when you know what the root causes are th...

What to eat for breakfast is easily the most understood and challenging meal to get right… But, it hasn't always been this way – Up until the 1500s and then later in the 1920's breakfast had always been consistent with healthy living and following the natural digestive processes of the day… The problem is that when modern life and big corporations get involved with the media our version of what is...

In order for you to get well, lose weight, improve your mood, and wake up every day with plenty of energy your hormones must be optimized and balanced… If they're not, that's when we start to see a decline in cognitive ability, mood, metabolism, and being able to maintain a healthy weight… The good news is that it's very easy to look at which hormones may be out of balance and how they could be af...

I got my start in the health field by working in gyms and "cutting my teeth" by helping clients transform their bodies through exercise… However, what I quickly realized was that there wasn't a one-size-fits-all approach that I could use to template workouts no matter who walked through the door… This discovery then led me to be able to look at and treat each client as an individual that needed sp...

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 metabol...

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 loo...

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 result 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 hour...

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 tune i...

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 overweight a person becomes… This is why losing weight first and foremost is a health iss...

Your thyroid is almost like the "watchman" of the body where it's constantly assessing the situation of how you're doing in terms of nutrition, stress, hormones, toxicity, sleep, and exercise… When one of those begins to falter there are usually backup systems in place in order to rebalance the body and make up for a lack in one area… However, over time your body does not compensate as well and as...
