Cabral Concept: Wellness | Weight Loss | Anti Aging I Detox L Functional Medicine

The Cabral #HouseCall weekend edition is here!  Today we are answering more of our Community's questions on all things wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging so let's get started!   Erika: Hi Dr. Cabral! Thank you so much for your wonderful podcast. I am so happy to have discovered it. I have two questions for you. I have been recently diagnosed with hashimotos, and am taking T3 and T4. The one thing that has yet to improve is that I am still ALWAYS cold. I am an athlete, work out, eat relatively clean, have low normal body fat, and at a healthy weight. Why am I always cold? Before the medication it was much worse,... but even with T3 and T4 it still isnt much better.   Erika: The second question I have is around my stools. I read somewhere that if your stool is always floating that is a bad thing, and could mean I have digestion issues. Is that true? This isnt just once in a while for me, it is always. Thanks!   Hayley: Hi Dr. Cabral- I had an allergy test done when I suspected that I had a reaction to peanut

I've said it before and I'll say it again - I don't think I would be where I am today without my 1-2 smoothie a day habit... Out of everything I did to improve my digestive, adrenal, hormone, detox, skin, and other health issues, drinking my morning smoothie was and still is #1. So because of that discovery, I've pretty much used and experimented with every blender imaginable (I also love gadgets!)... On today's #CabralConcept 279 I break down the differences between the Vitamix vs. Blendtec vs. NutriBullet vs. Ninja Blenders. I tell you what the variations are and what the main differences are between a $75 blender and a $525 blender. Plus, I give you my personal recommendations for all budgets.... Don't miss today's #FridayReview episode for all the details! Plus, today I'm giving you a free download link to my Top 7 Wellness & Weight Loss Smoothie Recipes - the same ones I use myself and give to the people I care for in my Boston Naturopathic practice. Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCa

Typically, I save my book reviews for Friday's on the podcast, but today I wanted to review all the ways you can slow the aging process and look & feel younger! I also hand-picked my Top 10 from this book (of over 100 tips) and the best part is that these tips are all easy to implement as part of your daily routine. Plus, each one is backed by science and proven to be effective for the majority of people. Tune into today's #CabralConcept 278 for the "Best Ways to Stop Aging & Stay Young!"

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 then 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 and an excellent example of that are the specific strains studied that have been proven to aid in weight loss, glucose support, and balancing gut bacteria... Listen in on today's #CabralConcept 277 as I list which strains are the best for losing weight and maintaining it and the specific discoveries scientists made as to why this is the case... Remember, there are no magic bullets when it comes to a weight loss pill, but these special probiotics have been shown in studies to potentially double your results...

In 1943, Abraham Maslow published a groundbreaking paper on a human's hierarchy of needs... For the first time a guide was simply laid out in 5 easy to understand steps on how to get your needs fulfilled and in what order to feel like you have achieved "self-actualization (your potential)." This pyramid holds the key to enjoying a happy life... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 275 to see where you fall on the 5 levels of getting your basic human needs met, so that you may finally live that fulfilled life - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral        

The 2nd weekend edition of the Cabral House Call is here! Here are today's community questions!   Carolina: Love listening to all your podcasts! Thanks for all you do and teach us. What are your thoughts on a product called SuperBeets? I am looking to have more energy and eventually not need coffee in the mornings.   Carlos: What is the best way(s) to fix an anterior pelvic tilt? Thanks in advance for your help!!   Patrick: I know you're not a fan of coffee/caffeine, but I'm curious-- is it caffeine that makes coffee detrimental or the compounds and makeup of coffee itself. Is drinking decaf OK?   Lisa: Hi Stephen I suffer with a form of migraine where I get a dull ache on the right side of my head and brain fog. I find this quite debilitating. The Dr has prescribed sumatriptan which works, but I would like to understand and eliminate the cause - what would you recommend? I recall on a former podcast you made a link between headaches, inflammation and anti-histamines and so I tried using my hayfever medicatio

We're back with our 1st Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! Here are today's questions: Anon Female: Herpes/Cold Sores Remedy I'm wondering if you could cover the following topics on your podcast: I know you did a quick segment on herpes (type 1, simplex) on your show once, but I'd really love for you to cover this in more detail. I've been getting cold sores on my face (lip, nose, eyes) since I was a little girl and still go through periods where I'm getting them all the time. If I can take valtrex/acyclovir right on it's emergence, I'm usually okay, but if not, it gets really bad. I hate to take this medication, as it's the only thing i will ever take (I won't even take advil!). Is there anything I can do, a certain protocol, that will keep the herpes dormant?   Anon: I've had 1-2 cysts on my scalp for the last 2-3 years and they don't seem to be going away. They're not getting any bigger, however, just staying the same. I recently just discovered a new one. They're small, probably about 1/8 of an inch in diam

Welcome to the #FridayReview where we'll be talking about all things wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging in regards to the health benefits of juicing! Today's first product review is on the juicer I finally settled on after trying out over a dozen. The one I'll be talking about doesn't oxidize your fruits & vegetables the same way most commercial models do... Next, I outline my favorite Fall juice recipe! It's has just the right amount of sweet (and warmth) to enjoy as temperatures start to drop a little... Plus, the health benefits of these particular ingredients are fantastic! The last items I'll be reviewing today is a nutritional supplement for those that can't afford a daily organic fresh-pressed juice, don't have the time to make one, or don't want all the messy clean up...

One of my favorite ways to start the day is with a little "Lymphercise!" It's a great way to get your blood circulating, boost oxygen to your brain, improve your mood, and move your lymph...

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 the first time, I was able to absorb the nutrition from the pre-digested liquid smoothies and my body began to rapidly change... But, not all smoothies are created equal (some are actually harmful), and as a result some people are not getting the benefits that they deserve... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 270 to get the same exact wellness & weight loss smoothie recipes that I give my private clients in my Boston Naturopathic Medicine practice! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/270 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral    

There's probably no other plant based food in the world with more controversy and arguments over it than coffee... On one side, we have the coffee proponents who talk about its high levels of antioxidants and the research showing it can improve everything from cardiovascular function to decreasing Alzheimer's... Then, there are the anti-coffee advocates with an equaling compelling argument that coffee can over-stimulate the adrenal glands, cause burn out, and harm digestive function... So who's right? i think the answer will surprise you, and I'll share it with you in more depth today on the #CabralConcept 269 podcast - enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/269 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral    

Somewhere along the way most of us bought into a false belief that is holding us back from achieving greater things in our life... We've been brainwashed into thinking that "changing," or becoming more than what we were brought up in, is somehow bad or disrespectful to our current friends, family or co-workers... This type of thinking forces us to set small goals and never really feel fully realized or alive. It's also this mentality that leaves us with a life-time of regret of what might have been... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 268 to find out why this thinking occurs and how to break the cycle, so that you too can enjoy the life you've always wanted to live! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/268 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral    

The 2nd Cabral House Call of the weekend is here and I'm looking forward to tackling your most important and pressing questions today! Here's what the topics are for today's show:   Emily: Hi Dr. Cabral, I grind my teeth loudly when I sleep. My teeth also hurts often and sensitive to heat/cold. Any recommendations on how to fix this? Thanks!   Ann:  Hi Dr. Cabral, We really liked episode 254, its always nice to hear what rules and guidelines other people set for themselves in the way of healthy choices. Also, if you didn't receive the email we sent, we wanted to thank you so much for the bizarre recommendation (episode 246) of placing a bar of soap at the foot of the bed to help with symptoms of RLS (restless leg syndrome) It actually WORKS! We look forward to each and every podcast. Have a great day.  + Hi Dr. Cabral, I was thinking of purchasing the Fatlossity Diet Plan manual, could you explain more about this product. Is it intended for short term, or a long term way of nutritional eating? Thanks!   Dee:

Welcome back to another Cabral HouseCall weekend! Today we're taking more calls from the community and we've got some great questions today! So let's get started:   Rebecca: Hi Dr Cabral, LOVE your podcast. Thank you so much for all of the helpful information you provide. I have several questions I'd love to ask but here are my top 3 for now: 1) What are your thoughts on digestive enzymes? After trying the GAPS, low FODMAP, and other elimination diets as well as probiotics, digestive enzymes are the only thing that have helped with my bloating/distended stomach. It hasn't cured me of it  but it has significantly reduced it so that it doesn't occur every day. 2) Have you heard of Longevity Coffee, and if so, do you recommend it?   Donna: I’ve recently been introduced to your podcasts and I'm finding them timely, informative and enjoyable. I'm having a particularly challenging time right now, from all directions. This evening, as I was having a pity party, your podcast popped into my head. I gave myself the "10

It's already Friday and that means the #FridayReview is here where I'll be talking about the best wellness, weight loss & anti-aging picks of the week! The first product I'll be reviewing is a stool test that looks for parasite, bacterial, and yeast overgrowth or infections. Next, I have a great book to bring you that was written by a doctor who was really one of the first to speak in depth on digestion and how food gets broken down and absorbed... And last, but not least, I'll give you my top digestive enzyme supplement pick that helps decrease bloating, indigestion, gas, and burping...

I know that the vast majority of people exercise and workout because they want to stay in shape or lose some weight, but there are so many more reasons why it's important... One of the number one ways to improve coordination is by completing a certain group of movements - and becoming more well-rounded in what you actually choose to do for workouts... Many people believe that athletes or an athletic body is all genetics, but I can tell you from 20 years of working in the health & fitness industry that that is simply not the case...

Approximately 1 our of 3 Americans has a parasite. And worldwide, the number may be much higher, since a half a BILLION people alone have hookworms living inside them... These parasites can be picked up almost anywhere - local restaurants, salad bars, house pets, farms, under cooked food, contaminated drinking water, walking barefoot, etc... And, unless you're using a anti-parasite protocol 1-2x a year, or testing for parasites, you may not ever know you have them...

The Western philosophy and mentality drives us to keep pushing forward even when things don't seem to be going our way... This can lead to stress, frustration, and feelings of being overwhelmed... When you find yourself feeling "stuck" like this, the only solution is to temporarily slow down, step back and assess where you're at and what's important to you...
