Cabral Concept: Wellness | Weight Loss | Anti Aging I Detox L Functional Medicine

I'm back with another #FridayReview and today I want to share with you a fantastic book on Functional Medicine, as well as clear up some misconceptions on a popular vitamin! Functional Medicine focuses on more than just the symptoms you are experiencing when you suffer from a chronic health condition - It instead looks at the underlying root cause keeping you from becoming well again... Today's book talks about this healing process in more depth! We all know vitamin D is crucial for our overall health & wellbeing, and you'll see many of your processed foods fortified with Vitamin D2, but is that really the best form for you to utilize and absorb?  And lastly, I'm doing my final recap on the most popular alarm clock that actually simulates the sun rising to wake you up - no more air raid sirens startling you out of bed!

Intermittent fasting can be one of the most powerful ways to heal your body and achieve your ideal body weight, but it must be done correctly... And by that I mean that you should not fast longer than your body can tolerate. Just because a little is good, does not mean "more will be better..." In today's #Cabral Concept 235 I explore how long you should be fasting for each day and when to fast longer, if at all. I also touch on whom intermittent fasting is NOT a good idea for...

Getting a good night's sleep is easily one of the most important things you can do to improve your wellness, body transformation goals, and longevity...

The great news is that you can reset your sleep cycle and begin to enjoy more energy, a positive mood, less inflammation, and overall more vitality!

Are unrealistic expectations holding you back from being happier & healthier? I find too often many people believe that everyday they are supposed to feel jazzed with energy and smiling from ear to ear... I'm here to tell you that life was never meant to be that way.

The great thing is that those days we don't feel our best help us to appreciate when we are enjoying optimal health & wellness...

Too often we choose our workout based on what we see in magazine, whatever is most popular this month, or maybe at friend's suggestion... The problem is that your workout can either do wonders to build up your health and transform your body, or it can slowly break you down and make you feel worse overtime... What I'd like to do today is share with you how to find the best workout for you. This means you'll learn how your exercise routine should actually balance out your life and not push it in one direction or the other...

After hearing a story the other day about how a child at daycare was being given Skittles (candy) as a reward for good behavior, I knew I needed to share this with you... When food is provided as a reward for doing "good work" or behaving in a certain way that the parent/teacher is looking for, it begins hardwire the brain in a way that looks at food now as something beyond just fuel for the body... Food has now become linked with being "good," and "feeling good." This can set children (and adults) up with lifelong emotional and mental struggles with using food as a means to comfort themselves... This reward system concept can actually be applied to anything and does not have to just consist of food as the reward... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 228 as I explain the research behind this psychology, which comes from an amazing book called "Punished by Rewards." I'll also show you how to break the cycle and live a healthier life, both physically and emotionally! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/228

I know you've been told over and over that to lose weight, get well, end the joint pain, improve your mood, and sleep better that you must reduce inflammation... I don't deny that decreasing inflammation will help every area of your body and health, but I do want to let you know reducing inflammation is not the answer in the long-run... You see, inflammation is still just a symptom. That means it is being caused by something else. Which means, there is an underlying root cause to why that inflammation is present in your body... Listen in on today's #CabralConcept 227 as I explain how to get at the underlying imbalances that are keeping you from achieving your body transformation and wellness goals! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/227 - - - Get Your Questions Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral  

Have you ever noticed that the people that do the most criticizing and judging are typically the unhappiest with there own life? Over the years I've come to see that placing judgment on others actually hurts you more than it does the other person. The reason for this is that when you are always living in a world of judgment, you become a victim of it yourself in your own mind… Tune into today's #CabralConcept 226 where I discuss why people can be so critical of others and how to escape this vicious cycle so that you can begin living a life of peace of mind and prosperity! - - -  Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/226 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

Many people don't know what a rebounder is until I mention it's other name that you're most likely more familiar with… When most of us were kids we called it a trampoline and used to jump up-and-down on it and have some fun!

Getting rid of cellulite takes a multi-pronged approach. You must both address the elimination of excess body fat, and then the reshaping of the "septae" holding the fat cells in place... This isn't as hard as it seems and it's something we help women with every week in our Boston practice. The first step is an elimination diet along with healthy detoxification protocols to begin eliminating excess toxic water weight and fat stores... Next, we "unclog" the lymphatic system and begin to remove these built up toxins and oxidized fat. We also add in some dry brushing and rebounding for fun (and it works great!)

There's really no longer a question of do you need to detox, so today I want to teach you why it's so important and how to get the most out of it... With close to 100,000 man-made, synthetic chemicals in the environment escaping toxins in 2016 is just out of the question. Therefore, it's imperative that we understand how our body detoxifies these chemicals and what it needs to support this process...

What would you regret not accomplishing in your life? That's the first place I start when trying to help people assess what's most important to them and what they should set as goals... Too much of the time we expend our time and energy trying to work on projects or accomplish things that we think we should do, or we feel should be important to us... In the end this takes precious time away from accomplishing what we really do desire deep down inside... Listen in to today's #CabralConcept 219 as I detail how to decide on what's most important to you and how to design a plan to accomplish those goals.
