The Cabral Concept

I believe you can attain any goal you set your mind to.    The challenge, in my opinion, is that many people desire instant success and overlook the fact that we must navigate through various stages to reach our desired destination.    On today's #CabralConcept 2859, I want to discuss your current position in life, strategies for improvement, and how you can start climbing the ladder of success to achieve your goals.

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…   Julia: Hi Dr Cabral, I looked into past podcast episodes and couldn't find the information I was looking for. What is your opinion on IV iron infusions using Ferric carboxymaltose? My iron and ferritin levels have been low for years and my doctor recommended it to me. Thank you   Lara: Hi, dr. Cabral :) I hope you and your family are doing well.. My question is about seasoning the cast iron pan.. we found lots of videos on HOW to do it (they differ but all in all I guess you need to bake the oil into it many times in the oven) but which oil to use? Some say flaxseed, because of its polymerisation properties, others say of course not flax because it becomes toxic when heated.. some say olive oil, others are strongly against it.. so we need your help! ;) You are our favourite source of information! How would you do it? And please don’t say lard, because I’m plant-based.. If you could explain the whole procedure that you think is best, that would be a bonus :) Thank you so much, and a great day to everyone !   Anonymous: Hello I have a question about EMFs in the bedroom… We live in a house with different flats… the main wifi router in in the staircase, underneath our bedroom and it’s for all tenants… we also have a built in fridge on the other side of the bedroom wall… how can we protect our bedroom from these EMFs? Also, there’s a cupboard for food storage touching the fridge from the side… is that also bad for the food that’s inside that cupboard? Thank you   Kelsi: hi dr. cabral, thanks for all you do! i get colonics monthly and just wanted to get your opinion on the frequency. is that okay/safe to do?   Autumn: Hi, Dr. Cabral. I hope you can help. Is time restricted feeding beneficial in slowing progression of chronic kidney disease? I & two of my 3 children have just recently tested positive for the non-sex linked Alport syndrome. I already practice the IF 16:8 protocol, but wonder if a weekly 24-hour fast might be beneficial. I've listened to your podcasts on kidney health. Good stuff! My most recent labs (UA and blood) have come back clean for the first time since I was 12. (no protein, blood, leukocytes). For the last 2 years I've been practicing whole food nutrition, intermittent fasting, 3 days of strength training & 2 days of HIIT. My body's responding well. I'm curious how IF factors in. *FYI 137 pound female. 5' 7". Macro intake @ 2200 cal/day with a 45/25/30 (carbs/protein/fat) split   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2858 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: 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 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) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

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:    Anonymous:  Hi, dr. C. I live in Europe so it’s difficult to get your DNS powder because of expensive shipping.. so my smoothies are full of berries, apples, bananas, avocado, steamed/cooked veggies (peas, broccoli, carrot, etc.) and herbs and spices.. I don’t add any extra protein powders, hopefully the veggies, especially peas provide enough? But lately I’ve been more into oatmeal with blueberries & raspberries, a mashed banana, some bee pollen and a steamed apple.. sometimes some papaya gets in there too.. then I add A LOT of hemp seeds, probably at least 3 heaping tablespoons of it - is that too much & is it enough in terms of protein intake? I have a huge bowl of it, mostly it’s the fruit and hempseeds with just a little bit of oatmeal.. But I don’t think that breakfast keeps me full for long (neither does the smoothie) and after I get hungry, it’s so fast that I start shaking & need to eat something straight away.. I even got hot flashes and dizzy two weeks ago instead of just getting hungry.. What am I doing wrong and how would you correct it? I guess it also has something to do with me not eating breakfast soon after I wake up? I drink a litre of lemon water (is that too much ?) and then do some tinctures so it takes me a while before I get to eat breakfast.. Thank you so much for your help, have a great day   Anonymous: Hello… I’ve been listening to your podcasts and wondering, what is the best way to eat fruit and when? I find it a bit confusing… Should it be before anything else or does that spike your blood sugar? If protein should be a part of every meal, but fruit eaten on its own… doesn’t make sense? In a smoothie it can be mixed with everything else, but what if you just enjoy eating a lot of fruit on its own? What time of the day, when, considering other meals, etc..? Thank you   Alexandra: Hi Dr. Cabral, I'm an IHP Level 2 and very grateful for all the work you've done and the information you've provided. I've had a lot of equilife lab testing done. I've come back high in heavy metals - mercury (0.110) and aluminum (0.79). I've gone through a heavy metal detox and am actively continuing to detox through sauna and Epsom salt baths. My concern is that I'm a 28 y.o. female and have very bad pelvic pain that used to occur only before menstruation. It now occurs at other times of the month and has become quite limiting. I've been referred to a GYN surgeon who would like me to have exploratory surgery to address possible endometriosis. I know there must be another natural way to address the root cause of this. I prefer to avoid surgery. I would love any recommendations you have.   Colleen: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thank you for taking the time to answer these questions. Every time you do, it helps me in some way no matter the subject, and I'm sure the same is true for many others as well. I had a question about walking after a meal. If someone has weak digestion, would it be better to walk after eating or to rest and let the blood flow to the stomach? I'd think it'd be best to rest, but everywhere I turn, it seems the advice is that the best thing to do is walk after a meal to help with digestion. If so, how long should someone wait after a meal to go for a walk without getting out of the relaxed PNS state. (On ep. 1639 you mentioned 10-20 mins after a meal, just checking if that still applies if you have very weak digestion). Thank you again, hope this makes sense.   Ali: Hi Dr. Cabral! I am currently in the process of becoming IHP level 1 & 2 certified and am so grateful for all the resources and education you provide through these courses. After learning about all the conditions and disorders we are able to help with diet, nutrition, supplementation, and lifestyle changes, I was wondering if you have done any research on Narcolepsy and natural alternatives that could help. I am 25 years old and was diagnosed with Narcolepsy when I was 20. I am on the highest dosage of stimulants you can be just to get through the day feeling 'normal'. I am terrified of the long term effects this will have myself and others with Narcolepsy. Thanks in advance for even answering this question, have a wonderful rest of your week!   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!    - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2857 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: 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 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) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

Bodybuilding legend Mike Mentzer shares his 5 steps to adding muscle and boosting metabolism. The podcast explores the importance of tracking progress, optimizing nutrient intake, and training to failure. It contrasts Mentzer's intensity-focused approach with bodybuilders' frequency-based routines.

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…   Kim: Long time client of your IHPs. I have done a ton of work and made overall improvements in my health. However i work with a functional medical doctor to manage my hashimotos. Diagnosed age 14 currently 48. Been on your thyroid support protocol. What are your thoughts on adding t2? I'm currently on a combination of 137 Tirosent and 5mcg cytomel. I'm a non converter of t4 to t3 (high reverse t3 always). Did stress protocols etc work on sleeping which helps. Ironically my dr has never heard of supplementing with t2!!   Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral, I have a question regarding Calcium Carbonate. I heard in podcast 1177 that you do not recommend this form of Calcium, yet I noticed that it's in the Alkalizing Vitamin C powder. Can you please elaborate on whether it is safe to take it in this supplement or not? Thanks   Kristin: Hi, Thank you for all of your education! I know there is a lot of information out there. I appreciate how your natural health recommendations are backed by evidence for their safety and effectiveness! I am hearing about ingesting Borax in small dosages mixed with water as a method of rebalancing toxicities including boron mineral deficiency, supporting with Candida bacterial overgrowth and heavy metal detoxing amongst others. My understanding is it also acts as a biofilm disruptor. Are you familiar with this practice and what are your thoughts about the safety and effectiveness of this practice? Is there a place for borax in a rebalancing protocol? Thank you!   Inga: Thank you Dr. Cabral for all your help and knowledge. I listen to your podcast all the time! So I have been having a more rapid heart rate when I drink alcohol. It started a year ago and would happen when I had a stronger drink or later in the night. Now it’s happening every time I have a drink no matter the time or the percent of alcohol.. I have usually a drink or two on the weekends. I have currently stopped drinking. I’m fairly healthy, I work out 5 days a week. I eat lots of vegetables and good protein. I try to not eat a lot of sugar and have a cup of coffee a day .. both of my grand mothers had pacemaker so the rapid heart rate scares me .. any thoughts you have on this would be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much for your knowledge and kindness   Scott: Hello Dr. Cabral! I had a question about bladderwrack. I first heard about it on the 'Survivorman' show when he was in surviving in Alaska. It was said that it had many nutrients and protein in it. I was wondering if you had any knowledge of it and or experience in any of the internships you were in? I see that there are some supplements online. I tend to be a google-skeptic when reading about these supplements, the good, and their side effects. Could too much bladderwrack overload you with heavy metals since it comes from the sea? I trust your knowledge and experience above all. Thanks for all that you do…Ayubowan!   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2851 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: 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 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) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

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:    Stacy: Hi Dr. Cabral I hope you are having a Blessed day . I have dysautonomia/POTS . I did the Big 5 and other labs over year and half ago . Worked with a coach , did several protocols ect . I. Have improved some but the sensory overload/ SEVERE Anxiety is still there . It’s even stopped me from attending church and social events. I feel as though I’ll have a seizure due to the over stimulation. I’ve exhausted all avenues besides SSRIs and my spinal issues from an ATV accident where I landed on head & neck . I have lots of issues with it but terrified to have my neck adjusted due to strokes that can occur . Do you think the dysautonomia could be from my cervical spine ? I’m at a loss of what to do besides possible surgery or SSRIs and I really don’t want to do either but I’ve been suffering long   Annalize: I'm a healthy 47-year-old woman 6.0 ft tall 165 lb. I've struggled with recurrent vaginal yeast infections since high school, trying various treatments. I worked with a Clinical Nutritionist, adopting a paleo diet, my Candida tests were negative, and the infections persisted. I completed the Functional Medicine Detox and CBO protocol. My daily routine includes Fruit and Vegetable blend and Daily Nutritional Support, along with a healthy diet and lifestyle choices. We've been married 23 years, no STDs, 3 children. I'm open to any recommended tests or changes to my routine, as this ongoing issue is becoming increasingly frustrating. Your assistance is greatly appreciated!   Lindsay: Hello, Does stevia cause fertility problems? An influencer recently posted something along the lines of tribes used to use it as birth control?!   Alicja: Hi Dr. Cabral, I hope you are doing well and having a great day. Two years ago my blood work showed I had Hashimoto and hypothyroidism. I listen to your podcasts, I took your course about Thyroid, I implemented now foods to my diet, did heavy metal detox, made some changes and have been doing all the right things. My TSH numbers went lower over time, then fell into a healthy range, but my last labs showed my TSH being very low, it went down to 0.3. Does that mean that I went from hypothyroidism to hyperthyroidism? Also my anty-TPO are ok (very low) but I have still elevated anty-TG. What does that indicate now? Do I still have Hashimoto or is it Graves now? Thank you in advanced for clarifying that for me. You always are a big help!   Conny: Hi Doctor Cabral, Thanks so much for all the wonderful work you're doing. You've truly changed my life with all the great health information. I have a question about waking up hungry at 4am. I think it might be low blood sugar, because I do circadian fasting and my last meal is around 3 or 4pm. Is there anything I can take before bed to stabilize my blood sugar without breaking my fast? Thanks so much!
