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

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…   Shannon: I am curious what your take on headaches that stem in your neck and the base of the skull called cervicogenic headaches. What's the root cause of that type of muscle tension headache? I've struggled with them for a couple years now. I'm working with a practitioner and have tested for candida and am on the CBO protocol currently. We're getting ready to test for hormone imbalances next week but I'm fairly sure I have Imbalances. I have heavy cycles and low iron as well with the headaches being mainly the first weekish of the cycle.       Jason: Hello Dr. Cabral, I've dealt with tonsil stones and hemmrhoids for quite some time. I know I have sibo, dysbiosis, and some yeast/fungal overgrowth. Working on those as well. Wondering if you can explain why these are happening and what I can do for them apart from th

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:    Jenny: Hi Dr. Cabral - I couldn't find a prior question on this topic, so I thought I would ask. What are your thoughts on the use of tuning forks? I have seen ads which claim they are great at calming the nervous system and help with sleep, but I thought I would come to my most trusted source first! Thank you so much to you and your team.       Jenny: Hi Dr. Cabral-I have a good news update to share based on a previous question. Awhile back I asked for your advice regarding the pressure in my eyes. I shared my father was diagnosed with glaucoma at a young age and was prescribed several daily eye drops to reduce the pressure in his eyes for the last 20 years of his life (he lived to 85). He evenually lost his vision completely. My eye doctor has commented about my raised pressure for the past c

Have you noticed your energy declining, your motivation fading, or your recovery taking longer than it used to?     The frustrating part is that these changes often happen long before a diagnosis or obvious health issue appears.     Sometimes the missing answers aren't found by looking at symptoms alone… they're found by understanding what's happening beneath the surface.      On today's show, I review Ash-Leigh's real client lab results and uncover how mineral imbalances, chronic stress patterns, and nervous system strain may be contributing to fatigue, brain fog, low motivation, and poor recovery.     You'll learn how functional lab testing can reveal hidden patterns involving adrenal function, electrolyte balance, nutrient status, heavy metals, sleep quality, and more.     We'll also discuss practical strategies to support deeper sleep, rebuild resilience, and restore energy naturally.     So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3800 to discover how personalized testing can help uncover the root causes

Do you feel like your metabolism isn't working the way it used to?     Many people believe that metabolism is simply about how many calories they burn each day, but true metabolic health is about much more than that. A healthy metabolism should be flexible, resilient, and able to efficiently adapt to changes in food intake, exercise, stress, and daily life.     On today's episode, I explain what it means to have an adaptive metabolism and why metabolic flexibility is one of the most important factors for long-term weight management, energy production, and overall wellness.     You'll learn the key lifestyle factors that influence metabolic health, how to support your body's ability to efficiently burn fuel, and why sustainable habits often outperform extreme diets when it comes to achieving lasting results.     Join me on today's Cabral Concept 3799 as we explore how to create an adaptive metabolism and build a stronger foundation for long-term health, energy, and vitality.     Enjoy the show, and let m

Have you ever wondered which supplements are actually worth taking for long-term health and longevity?     On today's episode, I update my Tier 1 through Tier 4 supplement recommendations for 2026 and explain how I prioritize nutritional support for overall wellness, healthy aging, and high-performance health.     You'll learn why correcting deficiencies is one of the most important foundations of wellness, which supplements I consider essential for nearly everyone, and how advanced anti-aging compounds fit into a comprehensive health plan.      I also share which emerging longevity supplements show promise and which ones still need more research before earning a permanent place in a daily routine.     Tune in to today's Cabral Concept 3798 to discover my updated supplement hierarchy and learn how to build a smarter, more effective foundation for lifelong health.   - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/3798 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect -

Do you ever feel like you're working hard but still not making the progress you want in your health, relationships, career, or personal goals?     On today's show, I explore some of the most common hidden obstacles that can quietly keep us stuck, even when we have the best intentions. Often, it's not a lack of knowledge, talent, or opportunity holding us back, but rather subtle patterns that influence our decisions and actions every day.     You'll learn how to identify what's standing between you and your goals, why lasting success often comes down to mastering a few key behaviors, and how small shifts in your mindset can create meaningful momentum in every area of life.     Join me on today's Cabral Concept 3797 as I reveal the 7 addictions that may be holding you back and share how to overcome them so you can start making consistent progress toward the future you truly want.   - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/3797 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Ba

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…   Amy: Hi Dr Cabral. Many thanks for all that you do for this community! I'd love your advice on anal fissures. I had one recently that had begun healing. My doctor gave me Diltiazem/Lidocaine cream that I used 2x day and my fissure closed and developed healing/scar tissue. However, less than 2 months later, it's opened again. His suggestions previously involved either Botox injections or surgery if the cream had not worked and I would prefer to try and address it more naturally. Do you have any suggestions about what I can do to get this fissure to heal and stay healed naturally? I'm working on diet/fiber but that doesn't seem to be enough. One bad bout of constipation and it seems to undo anything I've done to help. Thanks!       Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral. This is a bit of an intimate question. I'm having some sort of

If heart disease runs in your family, you may be wondering whether your genetics have already determined your future health.     The good news is that even when certain risk markers are inherited, there are still powerful lifestyle strategies that can help support healthy arteries and long-term cardiovascular wellness.     On today's show, I want to go over what Apo(a) is, why it matters, and why having elevated levels doesn't necessarily mean you're destined for cardiovascular disease.     You'll learn the lifestyle strategies that can help reduce overall risk, including nutrition, exercise, blood sugar management, inflammation control, and key biomarkers that provide a more complete picture of heart health beyond cholesterol alone.     So tune into today's Cabral Concept 3793 to discover how to lower your Apo(a) heart risk naturally and take control of the factors that matter most for long-term heart health.     Enjoy the show, and let me know your thoughts! - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's S

Many people believe that staying lean is primarily about exercising more or eating less, but one of the biggest drivers of long-term weight management often happens outside of the gym.     On today's show, I want to explain the powerful role of NEAT (Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis), which refers to the calories you burn through everyday movement and share examples of how to maximize your time.     I'll also break down why daily movement can have a greater impact on metabolism, body composition, and overall health than many people realize, and why relying on workouts alone may not be enough to achieve lasting results.     So tune into today's Cabral Concept 3792 to learn why NEAT may be the missing piece in your weight-loss journey and how simple changes to your daily routine can help you stay lean and healthy for years to come.     Enjoy the show, and let me know your thoughts!   - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/3792 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The

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…   Sussanna: Hi Dr. Cabral, I'm very interested in getting your take on this question! I'm a menopausal woman in my early 50's suffering from lack of sleep, hot flashes and mood disruptions. Is taking bio-est 80/20 plus progesterone cream (prescribed by one of the online practitioners) - safe for women with a uterus, or is switching to an estrogen only cream or patch with a progesterone pill the safest option? I've been watching many videos and trying to research as much as I can, yet the debate on which is 'correct' is quite overwhelming. My concern is my background includes my mother who passed away from an aggressive form of uterine cancer. The online practitioner assured me that studies show this combo of compounded estrogen and progesterone can decrease uterine cancer. Thoughts?! Thank you!       Kathleen: Hi

Thank you for everything you do to make us all healthy! My question is, how do you feel about taking supplements for 5 days and then not taking them for 2 days? Is this good for the body or is better to take them every day? Thank you so much!      Hilary: Hi Doc, Thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom with all of us! I recently started going to a biological dentist. He said that my gums are inflamed and gave me an ozone treatment. Is there a root cause or a way to find a root cause for inflamed gums?      Mohamed: Hello Dr.Cabral.. Ive been a daily viewer of your podcast for a few years now.. really struggling.

Are you worried about your cholesterol levels on your labs continuing to climb?     While conventional medicine bloodwork typically focuses on total cholesterol, LDL, and HDL, these markers don't always provide a complete picture of cardiovascular risk.     The good news is there's a more accurate marker called ApoB that can offer deeper insight. On today's show, I want to break down what ApoB is, why it matters more than traditional cholesterol markers, and the 7 most effective ways you can naturally lower it.     Tune into today's Cabral Concept 3786 to learn how to lower your ApoB naturally and support long-term heart health through simple, foundational lifestyle changes.     Enjoy the show, and let me know your thoughts!   - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/3786 - - - 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: > Comple

Do you struggle to drink enough water each day?     While staying hydrated is essential for overall health, plain water isn't always the easiest option for everyone.     The good news is that there are simple ways to increase your daily fluid intake while also supporting energy, digestion, recovery, and overall wellness.     On today's show, I want to share my top 5 beverages that may be even more beneficial than water alone.     You'll discover what makes these drinks unique, how they can help improve hydration, and why they may offer additional health benefits beyond plain water.       Tune into today's Cabral Concept 3785 to learn the 5 beverages that are better than water and how to use them to stay hydrated, feel your best, and support your long-term health.     Enjoy the show, and let me know your thoughts!   - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/3785 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions A

Have you ever been told you don't have PCOS simply because you don't have ovarian cysts, even though you're experiencing many of the classic symptoms?     On today's show, I share important news that could impact millions of women.     After decades of viewing PCOS primarily through ovarian cysts, the medical community is beginning to recognize that it's often a far more complex condition involving hormonal, metabolic, and reproductive imbalances that go well beyond the ovaries.     I break down the shift from PCOS to PMOS (Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome), why this update matters, and how it may finally provide more women with the clarity and validation they've long been seeking.     I also discuss the underlying root causes behind these symptoms and why focusing on resolution at the root level, rather than simply managing symptoms, is key to achieving lasting results.     Join me on today's Cabral Concept 3784 to learn what this new understanding means for women's health and why addressing
