3611: Myth-Busting: Is Muscle Really the #1 Predictor of Longevity? (TT)

The Cabral Concept

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...

3610: The 7 Warning Signs Your Gut Is Trying to Share With You (WW)

The Cabral Concept

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.

So join me on today’s Cabral Concept 3610 to understand what your body may be...

3609: Chronic Stress, Poor Sleep & Inflammation Solved (Unsolved Health Mystery Case #7) (TWT)

The Cabral Concept

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.

3608: The Identity Gap: The Real Reason You’re Not Where You Want to Be Yet (MM)

The Cabral Concept

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...

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 sounds suspect to me... Is there a natural BPC 157 you would recommend, or what brand did you use when you took BPC 157? I'm hesitant to use anything synthetic. Thanks for any insight!

Anonymous: HI! So I've done a lot of work on my health and healing. Preemptive apologies to anyone who doesn't want to hear this graphic question! I cut nuts and seeds because every time I eat them, the next day my stool is basically wrapped in what looks like stringy worms. I've watched this happen over the years and took a long time for me to finally figure out a pattern. At first I thought they were actual worms. They are maybe 2-3 mm in diameter and can be interwoven through the stool or just on the outer sides. It almost looks hollow which led me to wonder if I'm seeing the worm's digestive tract or perhaps it's my intestinal lining sloughing off in one long intact piece. Either way it's shocking. Wondering if nuts are just mucus machines and highly inflammatory on my gut lining? Worms? Thanks!!

Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral! I just wanted to report back with a success! So my dad had been growing what we lovingly called a "carbuncle" on his temple for years. It was dark brown, rough, raised, and steadily growing. Through the help of your wealth of information, I guessed that it was seborrheic keratosis. He was getting frustrated with its growth and did not want to get doctors involved. I had him listen to an episode about it and he started applying ACV at least twice a day and we watched it disappear over just one month! It was probably an inch or so in diameter. We are all blown away that it completely disappeared with his consistent use of ACV! Thank you so much for all your help and sharing knowledge we can all use to help ourselves at home! My dad is happy to be rid of his "carbuncle"!

Summer: Hello! So I have a handful of tiny cherry angiomas scattered all over my body. I had one pop up just below my collar bone and within weeks to a month it had grown significantly. It's now just under 1/2" in diameter and sticks up about 1/4". I've been applying ACV and Tea Tree oil twice daily for a couple of months. I even tried cauterizing it with a wart freezing kit. The surface dries up every few days and comes off and it will bleed profusely if I bump it after a shower or pick at it. When I apply pressure it deflates like a balloon and I can watch it refill with blood and fluid in seconds. I'm not so sure this is a cherry angioma anymore... Does it sound like something else? What can I do? I don't want to go to a doctor, but it's become quite the nuisance. Thank you!!
