INSIGHT

Plant-Forward Diet For Longevity

  • Dr. Stephen Cabral explains his preference for a predominantly plant-based diet stems from longevity research, not moral reasons.
  • He links plant-forward eating to lower mTOR, higher autophagy, and AMPK activity for longer healthspan.
INSIGHT

Risks Of High-Animal Diets

  • Cabral warns high-animal diets like strict carnivore often cause high purines, excess iron, and rising LDL for many people.
  • He stresses balance and tailoring animal intake to activity level rather than following extremes.
ADVICE

If Tests Are Unavailable, Treat Anyway

  • If you can't access EquiLife mycotoxin tests, Dr. Stephen Cabral recommends doing the mold protocol anyway.
  • He also suggests infrared sauna use to help clear mold, mycotoxins, and heavy metals.
