The Cabral Concept

If you're interested in enhancing your brain health and preventing cognitive decline, boosting your brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is one of the most effective strategies.   As we age, our brains can deteriorate, and the neurons responsible for transmitting chemical messages start to break down. Fortunately, there are methods to not only halt this decline but also reverse it.   Today, on #CabralConcept 2771, I want to go over the foods and supplements that protect brain health and BDNF as you age, so you can begin to incorporate them into your daily diet and reap the benefits.

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…   Emily: I am in my 20s and have struggled with acne for over 10 years now. It has always been deep, red, painful, consistent blemishes. I have consistently seen two separate naturopathic doctors/chiropractors during this time as well. We have looked at hormones, food sensitivities, even emotional based healing. You name it - I’ve tried it. Skincare included. Yet my acne and skin congestion has continued to settle in & worsen, now with scars as well. I now use gentle/minimal skincare. It affects my every day life. It’s hard to have hope that it will ever hear. Do you have any suggestions what I should do? I am planning to begin my first detox program soon, which is one thing I have never done before. I am excited to add regular detoxing to my health journey.   Kelsi: hi dr. cabral! i have a bit of a complex question. in 2013 i got very sick with campylobacteriosis. ten years later my rain barrel is starting to show overflowing symptoms via the skin. ive read that the migrating motor complex can be damaged with this type of infection by targeting the vinculin protein, thus, causing digestive issues. i’m curious if your detox, CBO protocol + finisher is the best route here and if adding 1 day a week of dry fasting could boost healing? thank you so much.   Luis: Hi Dr Cabral, I've written in before regarding hyperparathyroidism/hypercalcemia. It was advised that I may have excess adrenal stress. Since then, they found a adenoma in my upper left parathyroid gland. By the time you read this, I would have likely had it removed but have a few questions. What can you advise as far as post-operative care besides what the doctors usually recommend ( I would rather not take tums or calcium carbonate)? What sort of complications can I expect having 1 of the glands out? Lastly, what do you think could have caused this and what can be done to prevent another from forming? The only other thing I can add is that I was working 3rd shift (I returned to day shift a year ago) while being on a keto diet during the time I started getting my symptoms. Thanks   Bindi: Hi Dr Cabral! I’m an IHP with you and so grateful for all that you offer to the community!! I have a question on wellness tech - what are your thoughts on Bioresonance devices like Healy? And any bio tracking wearable recommendations specifically for women? I’m an IHP specializing in women’s hormonal health and would love to see more wearables with research/data on women’s bodies, the menstrual cycle, and doesn’t make her her vitals look like she’s dying when pregnant with the oura ring haha. What are your fave bio tracking wearables and any ones you’ve heard of that are excellent for women?   Audrey: Hi Dr. Cabral, Why do studies show that just walking can reduce all cause mortality and dementia? Why not running or biking or weight lifting? Thank you for freely sharing your valuable knowledge!   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/2767 - - - 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:    Cindy: I love Fatlossity PM for the best sleep, but I often get jittery with caffeine so I have only used the AM short term. I don't get the same effect with your Sleep Support supplement (melatonin tends to awaken me after only a few hours). I do benefit from the amino acid L-trypophine, on occasion. Since Fatlossity PM cannot be purchased separately, do you have any suggestions for improving sleep or which supplement is likely to help me? My sleep has improved over the last 6 years from learning from you, but I often still wake up after 5 or 6 hours of sleep to go to the bathroom. I am post-menopasusal, but I do take estrogen replacement- which has helped. But, Once my brain starts thinking, sadly sleep is usually over!   Anonymous: Hello Dr. Cabral. 39 year old male here. My issue is related to “Incomplete Bowel Movement” and I have been experiencing this issue for at least 10 years and I’m unsure what I should do about it. Basically, I have a normal bowel movement but it sometimes feels like not everything came out. So then I use an anal douche and every single time there is more poop coming out with the water. This happens with every single bowel movement. I’m a “fitness guy” with a healthy diet and lots of fiber. Thank you!   Joy: Thanks for all you do Dr Cabral! (Q #1 of higher importance) I’m a 30y/o F & would consider myself to be decently healthy & aware of my body. I however experience awful joint pain & weakness. It tends to hold me back from enjoying an active lifestyle. It’s literally every joint from my neck to my ankles. My brother was born with a disease -Osteogenesis Imperfecta but has the more mild type 1. It affects the production of collagen. I don’t think I have OI also. Curious what would you recommend me take/do to help my joint pain. Q#2 I recently read of the “earthing” concept, which is supposed to have a range of health benefits. It involves the natural electricity of the earth, here is a link for more info. I’m skeptical, but would like to know what u think! https://groundingofficial.com/   Jade: Hey there. I’ve been invested in my health for some time now and have been doing my best to encourage people around me to be healthier versions of themselves. However, I have one aunt in her late 50s whose diet isn’t necessarily the best. She drinks Diet Coke mostly every day, eats out regularly and doesn’t exercise. She also has an extremely stressful job which doesn’t help. It‘s always been difficult to encourage her to change her eating habits, but she was just diagnosed with carpal tunnel. I told her I would do my best to get information on small changes she can make to better her condition and overall life. Is there anything she can do or take that may not be drastic? I would recommend your detox and less processed foods and drinks of course, but that’s too extreme for her.   Erica: Hi Dr. Cabral! I wanted to ask you your thoughts on what could be the root of my symptoms. I’ve had dizziness for about 3-4 years now and it’s very consistent almost every day. However, it hasn’t gotten worse it’s stayed very consistent over this time. It seems to be worse around the time of my period and also when under stress. In addition, I have a lot of popping in both of my ears and sometimes my ears feel itchy and almost like my eustachian tubes have to release pressure. I went to the ENT who said I might have Eustachian tube dysfunction but ruled out any fluid in my ears or other issues. I also tried the maneuver for crystals in my ears which didn’t seem to have an effect either. Any thoughts on things I could try? Dizziness got worse when I took antibiotics 3/4 years ago.
