Muscle has quickly become one of the most talked-about topics in health and longevity, with many claiming that building more muscle is the single greatest predictor of a long life.      But is that actually true?     On today's episode, I break down the science behind muscle, strength, and lifespan, and explain why more muscle does not automatically equal better health or longer life.     I also explain what truly predicts longevity, such as mitochondrial health, nervous system balance, inflammation control, and recovery capacity, and how to find the personal sweet spot that supports long-term vitality.     Join me on today's Cabral Concept 3611 to discover how to train and live for health, not extremes.     Enjoy the show!     - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/3611 - - - 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: > Comp

Have you ever wondered if subtle, recurring health symptoms might actually be your body trying to tell you something important?     On today's episode, I explain why many commonly dismissed issues are actually early warning signs of digestive imbalance, even when they seem mild or infrequent.     These signals are often overlooked or normalized, yet they can point to deeper issues affecting gut function, inflammation, immune health, energy levels, and overall well-being.     So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3610 to understand what your body may be signaling and how to take informed steps toward restoring optimal digestive health.     Enjoy the show!           - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/3610 - - - 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 &

What if your poor sleep, lingering inflammation, and slow recovery weren't signs of aging or overtraining, but signals that your body has been running on empty for far too long?     On today's Unsolved Health Mystery Case, I sit down with John, a high-performing entrepreneur and active father.      After experiencing lingering effects from long COVID John realized his body hadn't fully recovered and over the past few years, these issues started to take a real toll.     Even with a disciplined exercise routine and healthy habits, he continued to feel drained and inflamed, leading him to dig deeper for solutions.     Together, we review his Minerals & Metals Test and uncover clear patterns of nervous system overload, depleted reserves, mineral imbalances, and elevated heavy metals that help explain his symptoms.      We discuss how chronic stress can lock the body into a fight-or-flight state, create mineral imbalances, impair recovery, and accelerate biological aging even in individuals who "do eve

Do you ever wonder why you know exactly what to do to change your life, yet still feel stuck repeating the same patterns?     On today's show, we explore a powerful concept in psychology called, The Identity Gap, which represents the space between who you consciously want to become and who you subconsciously believe you are.     I break down why lasting change does not come from willpower or information alone, but from upgrading your internal identity, which ultimately shapes your health, habits, relationships, and success.     Join me on today's Cabral Concept 3608 to learn how to align who you are with who you want to become and why focusing on just today's actions is the key to sustainable transformation.     Enjoy the show!             - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/3608 - - - 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 Tes

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…   Sophie:  Hi Stephen, I really appreciate all that you do and I was hoping you would be able to give me some much needed guidance. I was diagnosed with ventricular tachycardia last year and the only explanation the consultant could provide was it was due to a tiny scar on my heart. I had a ultrasound & an MRI and the results were fine, and my heart was structurally sound. I have taken the big 5 and nothing was out of the ordinary apart from high cortisol at night and candida. I consequently completed the CBO last year. I am currently on beta blockers to control the fast/erratic heartbeats. These do not work all the time. The consultant said my only other option is for them to preform an AF abrasion. What are your thoughts on this procedure, as I really want to get off the beta Blockers and find a natural alternati

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…   Whitney: Hello, wondering if you add minerals to your water from the kangen k8? If so what brands do you like and trust the most? Thoughts on the beam minerals brand? And do you have to put minerals in each glass as you dispense / drink it since you can't really make a big batch of hydrogen water to keep in the fridge without the hydrogen dissipating ? Thanks!                                                                                                                                            Summer: Hi Dr. Cabral! My new functional medicine doctor suggested I start BPC 157 to help with gut healing and cellular repair. Peptides are one of the few things I've never researched. The site says they are synthetic peptides originally derived from a naturally occurring sequence found in human gastric proteins. This so

How do I determine the root cause and how to I get her some relief with putting her on birth control? Thanks a million!!     Gabriela: Hello! I've been an avid listener of your podcast for some time now, and have really learned a lot.  I was wondering if you know about Morley Robins and his beliefs about iron/deficiency. I listened to a podcast where he was guest and he said that pregnant women don't need iron even if their hemoglobin is low. He subtly connects iron fortification with hemorrhaging. Claims that a person needs only 1mg of iron daily from our diet, mentions RES, and says cop
