Bowel movements are one of those taboo topics that we're not supposed to discuss... We're told they're gross, disgusting and we need to pretend they don't even happen... But the issue is that your "poop" says a lot about the health of your digestion and overall internal health... Therefore, not talking about it, or knowing "what your poop says about you" leaves you in the dark about whether your system is functioning properly... The other reason this is so important is because your gut is literally the center of your immune system, your 2nd brain, and the #1 organ in terms of your overall health since it contains your microbiome... Plus, if your gut (intestines) isn't working well then it doesn't matter how healthy the food is that you eat, since you won't be absorbing the maximum amount of nutrients possible! Tune into today's #CabralConcept 431for all the details about what healthy bowel movements should look like and what your poop says about you - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com

It's that feeling you get where you know you're in a place you're not not supposed to be - The idea or vision you have for yourself is much greater... It's at this point that you have to make a choice about going after that goal of yours or not... And if you do decide to believe in yourself enough to push forward, there are 3 main ways to make a breakthrough in your life...

Welcome back to out 2nd Cabral #HouseCall of the weekend! We're picking up where we left off and I'm looking forward to sharing the answers to these community questions: Chelsea: Not sure if this is for the house call page, but I have a few questions. 1) I have vertical ridges on my fingernails that I can't seem to get rid of. I have hashimotos, Lyme, and chronic low WBC as well as chronic low BP. I'm on AIP and have been working with a functional doctor for a year but can't seem to figure out the vertical nail ridges. 2) I have a bad case of floaters in my eyes, specifically my left eye. Many times part of my vision is obstructed because of it. I've been to the eye doc and I'm 20/20 and am told floaters are normal, my functional doctor does not know what could be causing them. Your thoughts on these annoying yet telling conditions? Thank you, LOVE your podcast and IG!!!!!   Maria: Hi, I had a question regarding healthy weight gain. I'm 20 and I have always been active throughout my teenage years (I have alwa

Welcome back to our first Cabral #HouseCall of the weekend where we're answering our community's questions on all things wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging! Here is today's Q&A: Lisa: First I want to thank you for all the amazing knowledge you share for FREE! You are a one of a kind type of doctor. I follow you on Instagram and now have many friends following you as well. I'm finally all caught up with you podcast....LOVE the ALL!  You mention that you listen to Joe Rogan’s podcast and I do as well. He had Mr. XXXX on his show about the Keto diet. Mark is clearly in amazing shape and definately does not look 63 yrs old. My question is, Is a Keto Diet safe and healthy? I have worked with a doctor like you to help heal my daughters Tourettes and OCD and Im obsessed with nutrition. I am a Raw Vegan and I feel my body healing. My husband wants to eat lots of meat like Mark and Im concerned cuz of all the research about meat and cancer. I would love to hear your thoughts.    Ellen: Dr Cabral, Is it ok to ta

I'm back with another #FridayReview and today we've got some great picks for you! The first thing I share is some cutting edge anti-aging research that is actually taking place right now - These treatments have the potential to add another 10-12 years to your life! Next up, I review an enzyme supplement that very few people have heard of, but it works wonders for the immune system and inflammatory pain... And finally, I'll be reviewing 2 new wearing technology devices. One helps women time their fertility cycle, while the other looks to replace your FitBit or other health tracker with a much smaller wearable ring...

The interesting thing about goals is that almost anything can be achieved with enough time, persistence, and effort... The issue is that many of our goals have inadequate timelines, which leaves us feeling overwhelmed and anxious every time we think about them... The same holds true for any body transformation goals. You can literally change the shape of your body into any healthy form you're aiming for... You just have to make sure you set specific and measurable markers with a realistic deadline attached to them. This then allows you to track your progress and course correct along the way as needed...

There's no doubt following a low-carb diet can work wonders (temporarily) for some health conditions as I've explained in the past... The issue is that not everyone responds well to staying under 50-100g of carbohydrates per day... And when that someone (maybe you) drops their carbs too low for too long their body begins to go into a protective, low metabolic state... From a survival standpoint, this is a very good thing - But, from a body transformation and health perspective the results aren't going to make you very happy... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 425 for all the details on how Low Carb can equal Low Thyroid, which can then lead to "Hibernation Syndrome" - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/425 - - - Get Your Question Answered:   http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral  

Edgar Cayce passed away a few years ago, but what he left us with was a treasure trove of natural remedies... Those remedies are finally being studied and research has irrefutably acknowledged what ancient forms of medicine and Cayce recommended as effective healing therapies... One of those therapies involves Castor Oil and the unique properties it holds in regards to reducing inflammation and balancing certain parts of the immune system... Cayce described an ancient Ayurvedic heat pack therapy using Castor Oil, but he did it in a modern way... As someone that's used this specific therapy and seen it work in my practice, I highly recommend checking out the precise formula to make your own Castor Oil pack at home for just a few dollars...

The interesting thing about life is that you really can have and be anything you want, but you first have to know what it is that you actually want... And, maybe more importantly, you need to know who it is that you currently believe you are... You see, we've all been conditioned to believe we can achieve certain things, but not others, or that we are a "certain type of person..." This societal brainwashing causes a serious mental disconnect when it comes to the dreams and desires you have for yourself...

We're back with our 2nd Cabral #HouseCall of the weekend! And just like yesterday's Q&A we're going to be answering another round of community questions sent in by you, our listeners! Here are today's questions:  Erika: Dr. Cabral - thanks so much for all of your podcasts. I can't wait to visit your practice in Boston sometime soon. I just had a terrible accident skiing, which involved an IV, ambulance ride, hours in the ER, and 48 hours of oxycodene. My X-rays show that I didn't break anything. I lost my footing going pretty fast in steep terrain on an alpine run and skied fast right into a tree with my left shin. I got an MRI this morning and have been told I have a grade 2 partial tear of my PCL, I also tore my knee capsule, and sprained my MCL. I haven't heard much on this on your podcasts, but was wondering... is there something I can start putting in my diet on a daily basis to help heal the partial tear? I'm really hoping not to have surgery... also what is the top thing you recommend for inflamma

This weekend on the Cabral #HouseCall we have our most questions ever answered over a 2-day period! Our community’s questions have been piling up, so we’re catching up this weekend with some amazing Q&A – Enjoy the show! Susan: Hi Dr. Cabral. I’m a rabid fan – and could probably spend most of this email heaping praise onto you, but I will get to the point because I know you are so very busy. My daughter has food sensitivities and we have been super diligent about removing the items we think are the cause. When we removed gluten her eczema was better. When we removed dairy her constipation improved. We don’t feed our children a lot of processed foods but the odd time when my daughter attends birthday parties and has a piece of cake etc her symptoms seem to explode. If she plays ringette her hands become raw…. She has only had antibiotics twice in her life (she’s 5) once was steroid eye drops as a result of cataract surgery. I am in the process of getting her food sensitivities tested. Is there anything el

The #FridayReview is here and I've got some fantastic recommendations and reviews from this past week on all things wellness, weight loss & anti-aging! The first item I want to share with you is my protocol for helping both children and adults with earaches, sinus congestion, sore throats, and much more... Second, there's a fun KickStarter campaign going on right now that is offering a brand new machine (it's like a cross between a blender & food processor) to make homemade nut milk and nut butter... And finally, I've got a brand new "obscure" wellness book from my last trip to Hawaii that talks about ancient and modern cures using plants & herbal medicine...

It's easy for all of us to hop on the band wagon and ride along with the current dogma of the day, but the problem is that the whole truth usually gets left behind... This is clearly evident when Interval Training became the dominant form of exercise (with good reason) for body transformation and overall health... The issue is that what often happens in our "all-in society" is that we bash and slander anything that doesn't fit in this box... That's why on today's #CabralConcept 419 I want to share the "Surprising Benefits of Aerobic Exercise" and why you just may want to add some to your current program - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/419 - - - Get your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral  

It's interesting, but study after study are confirming that there are healthy gut bacteria missing from people that gain weight easily and can't seem to take it off no matter what they do...

One of the biggest misconceptions in nutrition and natural health is how to heal the gut using carbohydrates... The old way used to recommend cutting out all fruits, starches, grains, and most vegetables... However, modern science (as well as ancient Ayurvedic wisdom) has revealed that only certain types of carbs, sugars, and fibers need to be omitted for a short period of time... Following this type of plan, as well as adding back in fiber to your daily diet will ensure that your diverse gut microbiome can thrive for years to come...

Losing sight of what matters most to you in life can happen for 2 main reasons... The first one is that you're so caught up in your day-to-day activities, stresses, and ongoings that by the time you stop to breathe it's already time to go to bed... The second reason is that when we're actually going after our goals and what we truly desire in life we get lost in a sea of minutia that has very little bearing on what will move us forward... The way to break the cycle is to rewire our mind and conditioning and thought process to stop focusing on the small stuff...

Our 2nd BONUS REPLAY of the month is our 2nd most popular podcast download of all time! If you've already listened to this show I highly recommend a 2nd review ; ) 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 without falling for the top 3 most common reasons people fail at weight loss… Tune into today’s #CabralConcept 340 for all the details – Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/340 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral  

We're back with our 2nd Cabral #HouseCall of the weekend and I'm happy to have you back with us! Here are today's community questions: Melissa: Dr. Cabral, I enjoy listening to your podcast and thank you for all of the wonderful information that you provide. After having my third baby three years ago via c-section, I have had significant pain in my stomach after eating meals. This began occurring 6 weeks post-delivery and does not seem to be related to any specific food. It typically occurs within 30 minutes after a meal and can last for hours. I am extremely bloated, and am 40 pounds overweight even though I eat a very healthy diet (around 1200-1400 calories daily of fresh produce) and exercise daily. I have had a multitude of tests - gallbladder, ultrasounds of liver, blood tests, colonoscopy, endoscopy, food allergy tests - all of which come back normal, with my only diagnosis as constipation. After eliminating dairy and added sugars and taking Mirilax daily, my symptoms resolved. I was even able to eat a

Hello and thank you for tuning into this weekend's #HouseCall Q & A show! Here are today's amazing community questions! Brittany: Hi Dr. Cabral! I am getting ready to start your 7 day Dr. Cabral Detox and I was wondering: Do the limited calories on days 1 and 2 of the detox (200 calories each day) still allow for autophagy? I've read that you have to eliminate calories entirely for a period of time for autophagy to engage; is this true? I am just wondering if this detox can also serve as an intermittent fast, or if I need to incorporate a water only fast separately from the detox at a later date for maximum health results long term. Many thanks! - Brittany   Randa: Hello Was wondering if you thought new chapter vitamins are good quality in your opinion. Also could you tell me what macro breakdown you suggest to someone who wants to maintain there weight and what macro breakdown (if different) for someone who has 20 pounds to lose. Thanks -love your podcast   Michele L: Hi Dr. Cabral, Hope you are well. I

Back on episode 354 I brought you the "Top 15 Nutritional Supplements" Prescribed by Functional Medicine Doctors and health practitioners... It was one of our most popular shows and although I agree with the vast majority of those supplements and use them all in my practice, I did feel it was missing something... Many of those products are great to relieve symptoms, but I'm more interested in healing at a deeper level, which is why today I want to share with you a few nutritional supplements you can use daily to rebalance your body for optimal health & well-being!
