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

Real world success rarely follows a straight line?     On today's show, we break down why progress doesn't move in a perfect upward trajectory and why plateaus are not a sign of failure, but a normal and necessary part of growth.     If we think of success as a staircase instead of a straight line, we can better understand how lasting results are built in layers. First, you create a strong foundation. Then, when progress stabilizes, you make small, strategic adjustments to move to the next level, without abandoning the habits that got you there.     This applies to any area of your life. Instead of regressing when results slow down, you stabilize, reassess, and layer in the next step for sustainable, long-term success.     Join me on today's Cabral Concept 3671 to learn how to work with the natural rhythm of growth, and finally stop getting discouraged by plateaus.     Enjoy the show.   - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/3671 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: Th

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…   Pati: how do you lower and keep cholesterol low during early menopause and when you have Familial Hypercholesterolemia. I have 315 total /240 LDL/70HDL/50 Trig. I am 5.4 height, 120lb and gluten free and dairy free for 13yrs and eat very low carbs and sugar. Never taken statins because they make my joints hurt but had high cholesterol for years but 300 was my highest. What can I take that can help and what should i eat. Thank you Pati      Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral. Just wanted to confirm. Podcast 3576 reviewed a PubMed study that gave a minimum daily dosage of 10,800 FU to obtain desired results. The podcast gave me the impression that your supplement exceeded the 10,800 FU/day since only the 20,000 FU number was given. However, 3 plus does per day would be needed? Please can you clarify?

I'm an IHP Level 1 and have been following you for over 2 years. I'm grateful for all you do. I'm a 61 year old male and take no medication. I've always had elevated cholesterol but it's come down a lot over the last 2 years. I now have LDL of 108. My CRP is in the normal range at 0.41. My homocysteine is also in the normal range at 8.9. My coronary calcium score from almost 3 years ago is 129. I want to make sure my heart stays healthy and want to be smart about what supplements to take apart from the foundational ones like the DNS and Omega 3. If I take all the supplements that promote a healthy heart, it gets a bit expensive and I was wondering if you thought about formulating one supplement to combine some of them. I'm currently taking D3+K2, Red Yeast Rice, Berberine an

Berberine may be one of the most powerful, research-backed natural compounds for supporting colorectal (and other) cancer prevention.     On today's show, we break down seven clinical trials demonstrating that berberine significantly reduced the recurrence of precancerous polyps and colorectal cancer, with lasting benefits even years after use.     We also explore how berberine works at the root level by helping rebalance key metabolic and inflammatory pathways that influence cellular health and long-term disease risk.     Join me on today's Cabral Concept 3667 to learn how just 600mg of this powerful supplement may help reduce cancer risk.     Enjoy the show.   - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/3667 - - - 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 &

Did you know that while most of your fat cells are created in childhood, your body can still create new ones later in life?     On today's show, we break down the difference between fat cell expansion and fat cell creation, and what triggers the body to increase its fat storage capacity.      We also explore why sustainable fat loss is not about extreme dieting, but about reducing inflammation, rebalancing hormones, supporting detox pathways, and restoring metabolic health at the root cause.     Join me on today's Cabral Concept 3666 to learn how to work with your body for long-term weight loss and wellness.     Enjoy the show.   - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/3666 - - - 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) - - - > Compl

Did you know that a simple daily habit could sharpen your memory, improve focus, and strengthen your brain as you age?   On today's show, I'm sharing research that shows just 10–15 minutes a day of handwriting engages the brain in ways that typing simply cannot.    We'll explore why this small, consistent habit is so effective, how it supports memory, mental clarity, and cognitive function, and why incorporating it into your routine can have lasting benefits for your brain—activating fine motor skills, spatial awareness, memory recall, and language processing.   So join me on today's Cabral Concept Episode 3665, where we discuss how this simple daily habit can strengthen your brain, enhance focus, and support cognitive longevity.   Enjoy the show.   - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/3665 - - - 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 La

Have you ever felt like something is "off" and you haven't yet been able to pinpoint what it is?      Once you understand that the body is not broken, but instead communicating through symptoms, it completely changes how you approach health, transformation, and personal growth.     In this episode, we explore why symptoms are signals of underlying imbalances, not failures of the body, and why trying to force results through restriction, deprivation, or overtraining often leads to burnout and metabolic damage over time.     So join me on today's Cabral Concept Episode 3664, where we discuss why healing begins when you stop trying to fix yourself and start listening to what your body is asking for.     Enjoy the show.   - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/3664 - - - 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 Mine

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…   Sami: Hi Dr. Cabral! I am currently doing your 21 day detox. I am loving every second of it. For one of my meals I decided to have red beats as my carb/veggie. I had this for two dinner meals in a row and noticed the redness in my stool showed up the next morning after my second meal and then 48 hours after my second meal. I read online that eating red beats can help display gut transit time. I know red beats normally turn your stool a red/pink color in general. Are red beats a good natural/home remedy to decide gut transit time? Or would something like the blue poop test work best?                                              Larissa: Hello! My patient recently tested positive for EBV VCA IgM antibodies with positive EBV IgG antibodies but negative early EBV antigen and EBNA levels. She is experiencing fatigue. W

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:    S: What's the deal with smoothies? Why are they recommended so much? Not just by Equilife but from a lot of other wellness practitioners. In general I find they don't satiate me for long and could end up causing me to overeat in the long run. But more than that, I developed a different issue. I found Equilife, as it seems many have, when experiencing gut issues (probably post infectious IBS) and looking for answers. My issues kept coming and going. Then I started to realize it was aggravated during detoxes. (This all evolved over a year and a half.) I finally discussed with AI. In a nutshell, AI suggested I eat warm foods only, cooked veggies. Eat foods in a particular order. This wasn't high risk so I tried this advice. It helped so much. So now I wonder, is it really best to recommend smoothi

Did you know that up to 50% of men develop prostate inflammation by age 50, often without obvious symptoms or abnormal test results?     This silent issue can begin years before prostate cancer ever develops, quietly impacting urinary health, sexual function, and long-term risk if left unaddressed.     On today's show, I break down why prostate inflammation is so common, why it often goes undetected, and what you can do right now to support prostate health at every stage.     We explore the key drivers behind prostate inflammation, including oxidative stress, blood sugar dysregulation, environmental toxins, and lifestyle factors that quietly increase risk over time.     So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3660, to learn how to protect your prostate from cancer and inflammation.     Enjoy the show. - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/3660 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSup

If fat loss feels impossible, the issue may not be calories or exercise.     What if that resistance isn't a failure of willpower or metabolism, but a protective response from your body?     On today's show, we explore how body fat acts as a biological buffer, safely storing toxins, excess hormones, and inflammatory compounds when detox pathways are overwhelmed.     We'll go over why forcing fat loss too quickly can backfire, how supporting lymphatic flow and liver detoxification plays a key role in sustainable weight loss, and what foundational steps need to be in place before the body is ready to let go of stored fat.     So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3659 to learn why your stubborn body fat is acting as a buffer and how to unblock it.     Enjoy the show, and let me know what you thought.   - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/3659 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSu

Are the daily vitamin D3 recommendations you're following actually keeping you healthy…     Or are they leaving you at risk?     On today's show, we dive into a massive 2014 study error that caused U.S. and U.K. guidelines to be 15–22 times too low.     We explore why vitamin D3 isn't just for bones, it's a metabolic marker that impacts blood sugar, hormones, immunity, cardiovascular health, and brain function.     I'll also share with you the amount that most adults need to be taking and the key cofactors to take alongside it for optimal health.     So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3658 to learn about the big vitamin D mistake and how to find your personalized vitamin D3 sweet spot for protecting your long-term health.     Enjoy the show!   - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/3658 - - - 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

So many of us set big goals in life, but we wait for the "perfect moment" to get started…     The truth is, that perfect moment rarely comes.     On today's show, I break down why motivation isn't a mood, it's a skill you can build.     And action is what triggers it...     I'll also explain how dopamine drives energy and ambition, not necessarily reward, and why taking small, consistent steps, even when you don't feel ready, creates momentum that compounds over time.     Join me on Cabral Concept Episode 3657 to discover why motivation is not something you ever find and what you can do to start building it today.   - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/3657 - - - 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 Candi

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…   Sonja: Dr Cabral thank you so much for all of the wonderful education you have been sharing with us over the years to help us be healthier. My family and I greatly appreciate it along with so many others around the world! I am a 60 year old woman who was diagnosed with hemochromatosis about 2 and 1/2 years ago. Thanks to the minerals and metals test that I completed which raised a red flag on the iron level, I was able to get my doctor to do a ferritin blood test to find out that my level was at 725! Over the past couple of years, I have been working with a hematologist and getting therapeutic phlebotomies as needed. I eat clean, workout and have an overall healthy lifestyle with minimal alcohol consumption. I do a 7-Day Detox 3 to 4 times a year, daily DNS shake along with multiple Equilife supplements.

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:    Cassie: Hi Dr. Cabral, I truly enjoy your content and am hoping to start your IHP curriculum within the next year. My question is about the safety of Cyperus Rotundus oil. It is noted to reduce hair growth when paired with hair removal methods such as waxing or laser. However, I have seen a study mentioning that its effects on hair growth are due to it's antiandrogenic properties, which would make me think it would only be beneficial in removing hair growth that was directly due to androgenic hair. Do you know anything about Cyperus Rotundus oil and its effectiveness or safety? I am always cautious about remedies, natural or otherwise that could affect hormones as I have had major hormone imbalances in the past and know that my body is sensitive to hormone fluctuations. Curious if this oil truly do

Many people believe fat loss is simply a matter of eating less and moving more, yet their bodies continue to resist, no matter how disciplined they are.     On today's show, I break down the five most common physiological reasons the body resists fat loss and explain the one critical question your body is always asking: Is it safe to let this weight go right now?     You'll learn why the body may hold onto fat as a protective response, even when nutrition, movement, and consistency are already in place.     I also explain why creating internal safety signals, rather than relying on calorie restriction or overtraining, is the key to sustainable fat loss and long-term metabolic health.     So join me on today's Cabral Concept Episode 3652 to discover why your body may be blocking fat loss and what changes you can make to finally work with your physiology instead of against it.     Enjoy the show, and let me know your thoughts!   - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/3652 - - -
