This year’s flu season is hitting different… A stronger strain called H3N2 subclade K is causing longer-lasting symptoms and leaving people feeling wiped out for weeks. On today’s show, I break down why this strain is hitting harder, why the flu shot missed this year, and what your body truly needs to defend itself and recover efficiently. You’ll learn how to support your immune system with targeted nutrition, light anti-inflammatory foods, sleep, and heat therapy, and why managing post-viral inflammation is essential for restoring...

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...

Many people assume that fitness is only about athletic performance, but true fitness is really about capability, resilience, and longevity. On today’s Cabral Concept, we take a fascinating look back at the 1950s Presidential Fitness Test and ask an important question: Would you pass it today? I break down the five original fitness challenges and explain why these foundational abilities were emphasized decades ago, and why they still matter just as much now. You’ll learn what the original standards were, how they translate into realistic...

Feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, or constantly “on” even when you’re getting things done? The issue may not be how much you’re doing, but how much input your nervous system is processing each day. On today’s show, I break down the critical difference between being overworked and overstimulated, and explain why overstimulation is one of the most overlooked drivers of burnout, stress-related health issues, and stalled momentum. You’ll learn how constant notifications, information overload, and nonstop problem-solving keep the nervous system locked in a chronic stress...

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… Linda: Hi Dr. Cabral, I listen to your podcast every morning when I drive my son to school. I love it! Recently, you mentioned the 4 things to do to add 14 years of life. Typically, I have a serving of aronia berries or goji berries every day. Does that count for one of the 5 servings of fruits and vegetables per day? Or, does the fruit have to be fresh or frozen? Thank you!! Linda ...

Sardines are one of the most nutrient-dense, anti-inflammatory foods you can eat, but does eating only sardines actually count as fasting? On today’s show, I break down the growing trend of “sardine fasting,” explain why it’s gaining popularity, and clarify the key differences between true fasting, fasting-mimicking diets, and simply following a low-calorie, high-protein plan. You’ll learn why sardines, while incredibly healthy, do not lower IGF-1 or activate AMPK, why that matters for longevity and autophagy, and when a sardine-only day may—or may...

Are you eating less, exercising more, and still struggling to lose weight? What if fat loss isn’t about willpower or calories alone, but about whether your body feels safe enough to release stored fat? On today’s show, I explain why fat loss is permission-based, and how your body relies on a specific set of internal signals to decide whether it burns fat or holds onto it. We explore how these hidden factors influence your metabolism behind the scenes, and you’ll learn practical steps to begin restoring these signals, without extreme dieting...

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:
Anonymous: I am having trouble figuring out my body types - kapha, pitta, vata, mesomorph, ectomorph and endomorph. Can you do a show helping us determine our body type or direct me to a show if one already exists?
Roya: I need to lose weight. I’ve tried everything under the sun. I’m an athlete but after having my 2 boys it’s been a struggle. I gain weight evenly all over so I’m proportional and curvy. I know I need to lose 20-30 lbs and I believe my body type is a mesomorph. Where do I start with your protocol? Please help!
Mary: Thank you for all that you do. I very much enjoy your podcast and all the work that goes into making it. What are your thoughts on taking colostrum? Thank you!
Mary: I have been working in a cadaver lab full time for around two years now. There are a lot of noxious chemicals around me at all times, in particular formaldehyde, which I am hovering over while dissecting and teaching. I feel like this is very detrimental for my health but will be in the lab for at least another half a year. Should I constantly be detoxing my body? I have recently been working with a functional medicine physician and have determined that I have hypothyroidism, low WBC (low IgG's), super low hormone levels with amenorrhea since getting off of birth control two years ago. I also transitioned off anxiety medications and adderol two years ago and the underlying anxiety and brain fog/low energy/ poor concentration returned. I also have stomach issues including chronic constipation and bloating. I suppose I would simply like your advise on where to start. For instance, if everything in your system is off unbalanced where do you start? Is it always healing the intestinal permeability first or would you detox heavy metals first? Thank you. P.S. Thank you for your amazing work and podcast. You are so inspiring and contribute to my continued drive to be a functional medicine physician some day. Thank you.
Briana: Hello! I was wondering if being petite/short has anything to do with how much a shorter person should intake in terms of food, as well as exercise and if there was portion advice you could recommend. I am 5’2 and constantly struggle with appetite and keeping weight off. I am about to start your 7-day detox and am looking forward to restarting and moving towards a healthier lifestyle. Love your podcast and what you’re doing! Best, Briana
Gina: Hi Dr Cabral! Just want to thank you for all you do and your help in my daily life! My father was diagnosed with Myastenia Gravis and complains of muscle weakness and double vision along with eyelids dropping. He’s a 65 year old in decent shape and it’s making him crazy that he can barely brush his teeth without getting fatigued. He also takes medication for A-fib, a cholesterol med and an aspirin. I told him he should give up drinking alcohol and eat a better diet. Is there anything else you can tell me about the dis-ease or something I can help him with!? Thank you so much!
Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!
