The Cabral Concept

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...

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...

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 ...

The Cabral Concept

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...

The Cabral Concept

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...

The Cabral Concept

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...

The Cabral Concept

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...

I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…

 

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.
