The Cabral Concept

Although we still have a long ways to go, over the past 20 years science has made incredible breakthroughs in understanding why we age as humans… Current knowledge has enabled us to define 8 factors that can be slowed or accelerated and dictate how quickly we age… On today's #CabralConcept 2169 I'd like to share with you the research on why we age and what we can do about it – enjoy the show and let me know what you thought in the comments! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/2169 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Sleep & Hormones Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels)

It seems that there's a different diet out there for every day of the week… However, if you strip back the marketing and dogma of all of the best diets they all center themselves around tried and true formulas backed by science… That's why on today's #CabralConcept 2168 I'd like to take you through the most effective (scientifically proven) way to start a diet (no matter what diet you choose) - Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought in the comments! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/2168 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Sleep & Hormones Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels)

I use to believe that how we age was mainly due to our genetics and outside factors largely outside of our control… But then after running a large-scale functional medicine practice and working with many families I saw how some individuals look decades younger than other adult siblings… What I begin to realize was while there certainly is a genetic factor as to what we will look like when we age how quickly we age and how youthful we look has far more to do with our toxicities and deficiencies… That's why on today's #CabralConcept 2167 I would like to share with you the seven factors for flawless skin and how anyone can easily adapt these to their life – enjoy the show and let me know what you thought in the comments! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/2167 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Sleep & Hormones Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let's get started! Emma: Hello Dr. Cabral, My mother has been diagnosed with Grave's and Thyroid Eye Disease. Her symptoms include proptosis in one eye, very low TSH and normal T4 & T3. Although all of her antibodies have shown very low or zero, even after repeat testing. Is there a specific imbalances or deficiencies you commonly see paired with low TSH ? What could be causing the proptosis if she doesn't have any antibodies? Could Candida be at play? What are your top recommendations for Grave's/Thyroid Eye Disease? So grateful for your support. Thank you! Anonymous: If someone is sensitive or allergic to wormwood and/black walnut, what product or ingredients would you recommend instead to be able to do both a parasite protocol and a CBO protocol? It seems like omitting the microbial balance and parapro would not achieve the best results, but I can't tolerate either of these. Even using the smallest doses and titration, I get severe stomach pain when using these supplements. I have learned so much from your podcast. Thank you for all you do! Michelle: I'm always on a quest to source the best possible animal proteins I can find. Recently I went on a search for turkey, specifically turkey slices like deli meat. I know better than to buy any grocery store deli meats so I tried searching for local pasture raised turkeys but couldn't find anything except a whole bird. Then I referenced The Cornucopia Institutes Organic Poultry Scorecard which gave me one option I could find in the stores with a 4-bird rating but on further research of that company I found they only have a special Holiday bird that qualifies for the GAP step 5 rating and all their other birds are only GAP step 3, which means outdoor access, not pasture raised. Very frustrating and I've come to the conclusion that I'll probably need to buy a whole bird and cook it myself. What I am wondering though is even with the local pasture raised farms it's normal to supplement with an organic / non-gmo feed that is a grain product. I do not eat grains due to my autoimmune history. If I'm eating animal protein that had some grain feed during it's life span does that affect me? To quote Michael Pollan "You are what you eat eats." Melania: Yeast showed up in the stool test but not in the OAT. How is this even possible? Tina: I am a 52 year old female who loves doing bodybuilding shows every couple of years. I eat a very healthy macro-based diet with Whole Foods play on for the most part I am very healthy. I just ordered the big five and I'm excited to test my hormones. Curious how I can put on more muscle without taking steroids? How can I increase my testosterone levels naturally? Is there something I could be eating or taking to help me put on more muscle since I do strength train five days a week moderately heavy but I feel like I'm not putting any new muscle on. Thank you for everything! I think you're amazing and I appreciate you and your team so so much. Simon: Hi Dr Cabral, I know you are a big fan of high-powered blenders for smoothies and I was wondering what your thoughts were on 'vacuum'/pressurized blenders, which remove air before blending, supposedly reducing oxidation. I have to make my smoothie 2+hr before I drink it every morning so the potential to reduce oxidation is appealing, but I'd love to hear whether you think they are worth the extra money and have any recommendations?

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions: Lorena: Hi there! I'm a 28 year old Vata and IHP Level 1 and 2 certified. Recently, I've been noticing that my Oura ring has constantly been telling me that my heart rate has been elevated at night. My HRV as a result is much lower than usual. I haven't got one night of a normal heart rate and it's been in "red" in the Oura app (56-62 bpm. At the same time that this started happening, I started to feel some weird neurological symptoms similar to those in MCAS (intense anxiety especially after eating, heart palpitations, brain fog & more). I've also suddenly started to experience bloating and gas after whole food meals (not smoothies). I've never had digestive issues before and did the CBO a year ago for skin issues solely. Trying to figure out how to lower this heart rate at night. I've even lowered stressed massively (at work & stopped working out intensively). Any idea what could be going on? I take a good amount of magnesium before bed too and sometimes even melatonin. Waiting on stool test results because I want to rule out parasites & h pylori. But if the latter is negative, what else should I look at? Melanie: I always hear you talk about people with high blood pressure needing more potassium in their diet. They would therefore not have to worry too much about sodium. However, my dad has high blood pressure and a few weeks ago ended in the hospital as his potassium levels were very very elevated and it was life threatening. He has high blood pressure, diabetes type 2 etc… I was wondering how this can be possible? I thought everyone with high blood pressure usually had low potassium levels! Btw this event happened the day after he took the laxative to do a colonoscopy so not sure if this is relevant. Anonymous: Hi Stephen, I have a question about insulin. In the health world currently, there is A LOT of talk about blood sugar and insulin in regards to losing weight. I am regularly reading that insulin must be kept low because insulin halts fat oxidation. Therefore is insulin is up you can't burn fat. However, there is an abundance of research that shows that under isocaloric conditions, there is little to no difference between LCHF and HCLF diets. I knw you yourself are familiar with the rice, fruit, and fruit juice diet reearch which was basically all carbs and yet insulin sensitivity was improved and weight loss occured. Surely this would suggest energy balance is the overriding important factor in weight loss. If "fat can't be burned when insulin is present or high" how can such studies be explained? Would love your insight here. Thank you. Amber: Hello Dr.Cabral. First I just want to say thank you so much for all you do and give. I'm currently getting my level 1 and I truly look forward to learning from you everyday. Ok so in regards to my question… My 7 year old son got covid about 3 weeks ago now. He got hit in the form of mostly diarrhea for two days. I'm only giving that piece of info because the current problem has only happened since having said virus. (In all his 7 years he has been sick about 4 other times.) He's been hit with the current problem about 3 times in the last two weeks. He'll be eating and his stomach will start to hurt really bad. One, was on Thanksgiving which I thought ok maybe all the different foods being combined. Then it happened again today two different times after eating something he always eats. Didn't hit him as hard but still came. His stomach does seem to settle once I give him this ginger drink. My mom intuition tells me something isn't right and I need to catch it before it develops into something worse. I have some ideas on where to start but I'd love your thoughts first. Greatly appreciate it. Thank you very much. Ewa: hello, my son Isak18 can't seem to get his full voice back after he caught a cold early fall, which happened around the same time last year. Its Really bad especially in the morning when he has to cough, clearing the pflem and scratchyness out. The ENT took a pict of inflamed vocal cords, lots of pflem and gave him antibiotics and steroids. He felt all better for a week before it came back again. He is working outside around damp leaves quite a bit but doesn't have any other mold-symptoms... Since he was a little puppy his colds always got to his lungs and airways. What do you think doc, whats going on? Much appreciation your way! Ewa and Isak Malinda: Ive read in medical studies of children who contract the chicken pox virus are less likely to contract shingles later in life, which is so much worse. If this is true what is the best way for them to catch the chicken pox now that so many children are vaccinated against it? What can parents do to avoid their child from contracting painful shingles later in life? As well as naturally boosting myself?
