The Cabral Concept

Are you setting goals each month but still feeling overwhelmed and stretched too thin?     What if trying to do too much is the very thing slowing down your progress?     On today’s show, I break down why success doesn’t come from endless to-do lists or constant effort, but from simplifying your focus and actions.     We dive into why limiting yourself to just a few meaningful goals creates clarity, how identifying only three non-negotiable actions per day builds momentum, and why writing those priorities down can rewire your brain for consistency and...

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…   Tricia: Hi Dr Cabral - I'm writing in for my brother. He is a 73-year-old male who has been healthy his entire life. No major illnesses. I noticed a few years ago his head would slightly bob along with his hands. So slight that he doesn't notice. I think he could have a vitamin deficiency. Unfortunately, I can't get him to do any of your labs or detox, but I do have him on your DNS,...

3639: Is the New Food Pyramid Another Scam? (TT) show art 3639: Is the New Food Pyramid Another Scam? (TT)

The Cabral Concept

Have you seen the newly released 2026 USDA Dietary Guidelines and wondered if this is an improvement over the previous food pyramid?     On today’s episode, I break down what the updated food pyramid gets right, where it falls short, and why even well-intentioned guidelines can still be misleading if taken at face value.     We’ll explore how the new recommendations improve upon past versions by emphasizing whole, minimally processed foods and more realistic protein needs, while also highlighting ongoing issues with confusing visuals, contradictory messaging around...

3638: Why Winter Weight Loss Is Harder (WW) show art 3638: Why Winter Weight Loss Is Harder (WW)

The Cabral Concept

Have you ever noticed that losing weight feels harder during the winter months?     On today’s episode, I break down the real biological reasons why winter weight loss can be more challenging and why it has nothing to do with willpower.     You’ll learn how shorter daylight hours, seasonal shifts in insulin sensitivity, metabolism, appetite hormones, and circadian rhythm signal the body to store more fat and burn fewer calories.     I also share simple, practical strategies to work with your body’s seasonal biology so you can overcome these challenges....

3637: How Statins Destroy Your Brain and Body (TWT) show art 3637: How Statins Destroy Your Brain and Body (TWT)

The Cabral Concept

Millions of people around the world are prescribed statins with the promise of protecting their heart, but what if there’s more to the story than most people are ever told?     On today’s episode, I take an evidence-based look at how statins work in the body and why their effects may extend far beyond simply lowering cholesterol.     We break down eight clinically supported side effects linked to statin use and I also explain why cholesterol alone is not a reliable predictor of heart disease and how excessively low cholesterol levels may pose their own risks.  ...

The Cabral Concept

Are you constantly busy, but still not seeing the progress you want in your health, career, or life?     What if staying “busy” is actually what’s holding you back from real results?     On today’s episode, I break down the true difference between being busy and being effective, and why effort alone doesn’t always lead to success.     We dive into how busyness creates the illusion of productivity, why the 80/20 rule applies to nearly every goal, and how simplifying your plan to just one or two high-impact actions can dramatically accelerate...

It seems overall, you tend to recommend less animal foods in the diet.

Spencer: Hello Dr. Cabral, I’ve followed you for some time, and have now read both of your books. It seems overall, you tend to recommend less animal foods in the diet. Not that you have anything against them per se, but its likely based on some of the research I'm sure youve looked at on longetvity as well as environmental and moral reasons. Intsead of consuming a lot of animals, you eat a lot of plants, and supplement your way to nutrients. This seems odd to me, although I understand the reasoining. I venture to say, there are so many things in animal foods we dont even know of yet, just like at one time we didnt know about b vitamins, or prebiotics in breast milk etc. It just seems like a modern of way making this work, avoiding the animal food and band aiding it with supplements. I get that the soil is deplted etc, but still. Can you clarify here. I know that wasn’t Youve helped another person and your struggle wasnt for nothing.                                           
 
 
Ashley: Hi Dr. Cabral - Great meeting you at RHS this year and thanks for all of your incredible work! My question is: do you have a lab/test you recommend for mold and mycotoxin testing outside of EquiLife? I am an IHP L2 based in Seattle, WA and  cannot obtain EquiLife tests in WA state still. In the past 18 months I have completed the CBO protocol twice to rid myself of SIBO, E. Coli and H. Pylori (including heal + seal post CBO) and have leveraged your protocols to rebalance my hormones after a partial thyroidectomy, however I still have persistent inflammation, puffiness in my face, post nasal drip and my H Pylori recently returned for the third time. I've also had new onset of hives that turn into pustules that antihistamines do not address. We had severe water damage in our home in 2022 (in our bedroom and attached bathroom) and I am wondering if mold or environmental issues are my true root cause given the work I've already done. I travel extensively overseas for work (2-3 weeks at a time) and symptoms are always better when I am away from my home. I am planning to have our house tested for mold but want to test my body too if you believe it is warranted. Any advice is appreciated as a next step - THANK YOU!                                                            
 
                                                          
Marissa: Hi Dr. Cabral!! I did your 14 day detox and loved it! Question, is Kachava protein brand clean?                        
     
 
Anonymous: Hi Dr. C  I did the SMMT in June,  cbo protocol, addressed low am cortisol and adrenal issues , did the mold prot.,  I do have lyme ebv, both no symptoms in a while.  Off HRT, numbers were very high,  doing estrogen sup and prog. supp.  dhea low ad u an supplementing with that.   T 4 optimal but T3 2.9 and not addressed on consult. Tsh 2.6 I've been doing the foundational protocol for a year now.  my chiro keeps saying to check my thyroid, he feels it.   I started daily thyroid support and i am one month in.   Im noticing so much skin sagging in the last year (using One Skin) and also my vision keeps getting worse quickly.  I also do the vision support   i went from looking like i was in my 40's when i was 50s  to looking sagging and old in my early 60s.  i feel so much better than i did but what's happening?  .  I use collagen, I eat sufficient protein, i train , all the boxes checked.  The only thing i did not do was HMProtocol   Mercury and Aluminum elevated  .057 and 1.04 but I wanted to take the mercury filling out before doing protocol.   i have another Stress mood metab.test also that im waiting on doing . Should i do it sooner. Everything else was not of that concern.  Any ideas or supplement suggestions?? my sleep has been much better as well.  it's very depressing when you feel you are addressing what you can address.  Thank you for all your guidance and support. 
 
 
Darren: Good day Dr. Cabral. Hope all is well with you and family. Given your experience with TCM, what are your thoughts on the use of Polyrhachis Ant powder, He Shou Wu/Fo-Ti, Pine Pollen, Sichisandra extract and Pycnogenol (pine bark extract)? Of course it'd be too lengthy to go in detail on the weekend show but maybe consider a Friday review? Thanks.
