2026: How to Break the Cycle of Negative Thinking (MM)
Ever find yourself stuck in the same place in life, or thinking the same negative thoughts day in and day out? If so, it's not a surprise since neuroscience has now taught us that 91% of the thoughts we have each day are virtually identical to those of the day before… Therefore, if we want to change our life for the better, we must discover how to change the way we think… That's why on today's #CabralConcept 2026 I'd like to share with you how to break the cycle of negative thinking - Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought in the comments! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/2026 - - - 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)

2025: BioFilm in Bowel Movements, Sinus Headaches, Lumen Device, Skip the Cardio?, Visible Pulse, CBO Lookalikes (HouseCall)
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! Kenneth: Really enjoyed your podcast with mindpump. I've had some really bad stomach issues that have lessened since going to a more high fat, high protein diet and smaller, but more meals. I've had more success lately, but your approach has struck a chord with me. My question is in regards to the 'bio-film' that comes out with bowel movements as a gel like substance. Do I need to get rid of it? Is it a bad thing? Thanks! Hayley: Hi Dr. Cabral! I wake up almost every morning with a sinus headache. I've had difficulty breathing through my nose for years. I purchased a high quality air filter (one you recommended), and no longer let our dogs sleep in the bedroom with us. I take an allergy pill every day but don't feel like they have much affect on me anymore and I do a saline rinse nearly every morning and night to help clear some congestion but it only works temporarily. Any suggestions? Thanks! Paula: Hi Doc! Have you heard of Lumen? Not sure if it just marketing or if its actually worth it. It measures your metabolism by measuring the CO2 concentration using a breath maneuver, which is performed by inhaling a fixed volume of air through the Lumen device (dynamic to each individual), holding it for 10 seconds, and exhaling fully. So they basically recommend exhaling every morning which then helps you identify things like what the best workout for that day is, how many carbs to eat to avoid fat storage, etc. Jennifer: Hi!! Thank you so much for showing up every weekend to share your incredible knowledge with us. I am a 23 year old woman, I've done several of your protocols and just maintain it now with some DNS, omega 3, probiotic, vitamin D, C, digestive enzymes & magnesium every day. I eat a predominantly paleo plant-based diet with the occasional fish here and there. I do 45 minute sessions of lower body strength training Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Tuesdays is upper body TRX with some body weight circuits like high knees, skipping, etc and Saturday is Upper body strength training with sprints. I therefore feel like I'm always performing anaerobic exercises and not sure if I should implement some sort of aerobic exercise? I am super fit and I do more than 10k steps every day and I feel great but not sure if I should do aerobic for health-based reasons. I just don't really have the time to add another workout day and I also enjoy the 2 days of rest per week. Hayley: Hi Dr. Cabral! For years I have noticed a lot of tension in the right side of my neck. When I lay down at night, I notice that it seems like I have a second pulse that is not my carotid artery but it beats loud and if look at my neck in the mirror I can see it pulsing. I don't notice this however when I stand and look in the mirror. Is this something to be concerned with, or fairly normal? Thanks! Marika: Hi! I have a very hard treatable candida biofilm (probably multi species - I also have streps and sibo) visible in my mouth and probably throughout my whole body since I feel both rashes and chest pain when consuming the slightest of even complex carbs like wild rise and sweet potato. I've spent 20000 dollars on diets and protocols - tried similar to CBO program including biofilm breakers with practitioners. It doesn't resolve - if I eat too little carbs my body and Candida gets in defense mode and if I put in just a little all symptoms are back - what level of carbs shall I eat and what else to do? Also have insulin resistance and helicobacter etc. Plus toxicity - trying to get all out on continuous protocols.

2024: Best Form of Chromium, Caffeine on Empty Stomach, Balance Out Smoking, Bad Gas, Diastases Recti Fix, Antibiotic Balancing (HouseCall)
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: Ryan: I have 2 questions about supplementing chromium for blood glucose regulation. First, are the effects of supplementing chromium acute? Or if I were to stop, would there still be a lingering effect due to increased stores in my body? If acute, how long would that last? One meal? Two? One day? Secondly, would you use a picolinate version, or a GTF version? Or something else? Carolyn: Hello Dr. Cabral. I just wanted to tell you I love your podcast and I just finished reading your book. I am 35 and have PCOS and believe I am a kapha body type. I typically try to fast for 14 hours overnight to help with my insulin resistance. However, I work twice a week and leave my house very early on those days. On my way to work I like to drink my coffee (I do add collagen powder to it). I know this breaks my fast, but I have been reading that consuming caffeine on an empty stomach should be avoided. Can this be impacting my weight loss or causing any other negative impact? Alex: Hello doctor Cabral, I'm really hoping you can help me with the following. My 74 old father won't stop smoking. He's been doing it since he was 18 and trust me, we tried everything you can imagine tp get to stop but of no avail. The only win we had is that got him down to 3 cigarettes a day, but that's all that he is willing to give us. He has high blood pressure and high cholesterol, but other than that no major health issues. I would really like to know if there's anything he can do to reduce the damage that those cigarettes are creating. I love my dad and I want to keep him healthy and alive as long as possible. Are there any supplements, foods, natural therapies or anything else that we can get him to do in order to lessen the damage a little bit. Thank you so much in advance. Your opinion and knowledge mean the world to me. Best, Alex Cynthia: Hi doctor Cabral, How would you treat someone who has GI issues (smelly gas & bloating) caused by dysbiosis? I did a stool test which showed no candida or bacterial overgrowth, but lowered amounts of beneficial, residential flora. Thanks, Cynthia Tracy: Hi Dr Cabral. Thank you so much for your podcasts. They are both inspiring and educational. My question is about diastasis recti. I believe this is why I have a bulge on my stomach that doesn't go away with diet. I am a mother of 2 (the youngest is 3). How would you recommend to heal this issue. Sarah: Hi Dr Cabral! If someone absolutely has to take antibiotics, what do you recommend they do (afterwards or in parallel) so their gut health is not ruined?Thanks so much!

Unfortunately, the likelihood of your MD knowing that Alzheimer's and dementia are now reversible is highly unlikely… Of course, it's not their fault since this is something that is not taught in traditional medical schools where monotherapeutic treatment plans are the only given option (even though they've been proven to fail over and over)… This is why we need to take our health and our family's into our own hands… Today on the #CabralConcept 2022 I'm going to share with you a clinical study and published protocol with a proven 90% success rate on the 25 ways (some) doctors are reversing Alzheimer's & dementia - Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/2022 - - - 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)
