Weight Loss Solutions

I'll be the first one to tell you that I do not promote or recommend weight loss supplements… I prefer people to boost their metabolism through sustainable approaches using nutrition, exercise, and other healthy lifestyle factors… However, since I get asked quite often if there are any supplements that have been proven to help lose weight, I did want to share the ones with actual research behind t...

Unfortunately in our Western-based, conventional medicine society, we've grown up thinking that our health and wellness are largely determined by our genetics… And we've also been led to believe that our mental health is a consequence of our genes and upbringing… The truth, though, is so far removed from that ideological worldview that it seems insane most doctors still subscribe to it… We know th...

Often times we associate weight gain or a difficult time losing weight as the only thing our fat-burning hormones are good for… However, your levels of metabolic hormones have a far greater effect on your overall body (and mind) than you may have ever thought about… They affect everything from your mood, to where you gain the weight, to how you view yourself… Check out today's #CabralConcept 551 f...

Very few nutritional supplements have as much scientific backing as omega-3 fats… In fact, they are so well researched even conventional medicine has gotten in on it and created a prescription drug that contains omega-3 fatty acids. The problem is that not all omega-3's are created equal and it's not always a parent who is suffering from an omega-3 deficiency versus in omega-six overload from thei...

I'll always remember this quote that I heard when interning under an old school naturopath: "The world doesn't need any more medical specialists – What we need are more  generalists …" What he meant by this wasn't that there isn't a time and place to see a specialist for a health condition, but the problem is many specialists aren't looking at the entire picture of how the whole body is interconne...

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 what...

Most people have been told it's simply not possible to spot reduce their belly fat… They believe that in order to shrink their waistline they must wait until they lose all their other body fat first… This has been ingrained into our thought process since the old belief was that belly fat was the last to go after you had lost all the other weight… And while this still holds a lot of truth, there ar...

With so much conflicting information in magazines, online, and amongst fitness professionals, it's difficult to discern who's right and what to follow… The good news is that when it comes to transforming your body, "toning up," and reshaping your figure, there is actual science to it… On today's #CabralConcept 461 we'll go through many aspects of body transformation training and discuss if lifting...

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 your...

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: Cardio, In...

The one thing that is common that all weight-loss diets that include low carb, keto, high protein, high fat, or high fiber are 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… Not only that, your energy, mood, cravings, and other hormones aren't going to stay stable without re...

To be honest there are so many balancing acts within your body in order for you to lose weight effortlessly.

Too often we're told we need to eliminate all carbohydrates in order to lose weight, tone up, or get in great shape… But that's far from the truth and although you can't exactly "have your cake and eat it too," you can and should focus on one particular type of carbohydrate to improve your overall health, satiation, mood & weight management… On today's #CabralConcept 355 I reveal that specific car...

Once you begin viewing weight loss as more than "calories in vs. calories out" you will be well on your way to finally achieving your goals… In my practice, I do my best to teach people that rebalancing your metabolism, hormones, inflammation, and blood sugar, are far more important to long-term success… However, in the short-term, there are a number of ways you can lose the weight stress-free wit...

It's unfortunate that many people are told they are simply eating too many calories or not exercising enough, which is why they can't keep the weight off… That simply couldn't be any further from the truth… Sure, some people do eat too much and need to move more, but for the most part, if you're trying to lose weight you've already reduced your calories and started to be more active… The problem i...

I know most people are trying to avoid processed sugar, and rightly so, but did you know that zero-calorie, artificial sweeteners are actually more dangerous than sugar itself? For example, Aspartame has been shown to cause neurological issues, birth defects, low mood, poor concentration, fatigue, ADD/ADHD, eye problems, hormone imbalances, and potentially even a link to cancer… But this is just o...

A lot of people believe that cutting-edge medical science is reserved for pharmaceutical drugs only, but that couldn't be any further from the truth… And there's almost no better example of this than when looking at Functional Medicine nutritional supplements (not the ones at your local Costco, Walmart, or drug store)… The same peer-reviewed research goes into true health-supporting supplements an...

20 years ago, my digestive system was barely functioning. I had trouble breaking down even easy-to-digest foods… This led to a gradual weakening of my body and immune system, which resulted in a host of fatigue, GI, skin, auto-immune, brain fog, and other conditions… It wasn't until I found out about the healing power of smoothies that I actually began to rebuild my body from the inside out. For t...

There's probably nothing more frustrating than seeing the scale begin to move down and then you wake up one morning having regained 5 more pounds… The good news is that when you're ready, you can get off this yo-yo diet cycle and begin to re-balance your body for long-term healthy weight loss & maintenance… Tune into today's #CabralConcept 263 to learn how to keep the weight off forever and get of...

There's always a lot of debate as to what's more important when trying to lose weight… Is it exercise, stress, sleep, fasting, interval training, macros, micros, etc? It can be confusing for a lot of people trying to interpret each side's point of view… Today, though, on #CabralConcept 256 I cut through the noise and share with you the results of what actually matters most when trying to lose weig...

If you're thinking kettlebell workouts are just a passing fad, think again… Kettlebells are one of the most versatile pieces of fitness equipment you could use. They can be used for endurance, resistance, muscle building, core work, or even interval training… Today, I want to take you through one of the easiest ways to use kettlebells to burn fat and tone your entire body (especially your glutes,...

Getting rid of cellulite takes a multi-pronged approach. You must both address the elimination of excess body fat, and then the reshaping of the "septae" holding the fat cells in place… This isn't as hard as it seems and it's something we help women with every week in our Boston practice. The first step is an elimination diet along with healthy detoxification protocols to begin eliminating excess...

One of the most overlooked causes of weight gain and wellness issues is toxic water weight… Toxic water weight is what I refer to as the end product of what your body does to compensate for toxins in the blood that the liver can't keep up with detoxifying… With over 77,000 man-made chemicals in the environment, your body can get overwhelmed and as a result, toxins are forced into your adipose tiss...
