3820: The Boring Weight Loss Methods That Just Works (WW)

3819: Shield Your Bedroom from Wi-Fi EMFs (TWT)

The Cabral Concept

Your bedroom is where your body and brain spend about 1/3rd of your day resting, repairing, and recovering, but many people may be unaware how much exposure to Wi-Fi and electromagnetic fields (EMFs) can come from the devices surrounding them. On today’s show, I dive into how to create a more supportive sleep environment by reducing unnecessary EMF exposure and why your bedroom is the most important place to start. We’ll explore practical strategies for creating a more supportive sleep environment and the everyday habits that may be impacting your nighttime...

Several years back he was overexposed to wet cement, spending hours mixing it with his hands. (Big mistake) Shortly after he developed a severe body rash along with painful cramps and diarrhea.

3814: Eat Fiber to Beat Cancer? (New Research) (TT)

The Cabral Concept

Many people think of fiber as something that simply supports digestion, but emerging research suggests it may play a much bigger role in protecting long-term health. On today's show, I dive into the science behind dietary fiber and explore how it may help support immune function, reduce inflammation, promote a healthier gut microbiome, and even improve outcomes in certain types of cancer. You'll learn why higher fiber intake has been associated with better survival outcomes in breast cancer research, how fiber supports a healthier gut environment and immune...

3813: Weight Loss vs. Fat Loss: Why The Scale May Be Lying (WW)

The Cabral Concept

Is the number on your scale telling the whole story? Many people judge the success of their weight-loss journey by how many pounds they've lost, but the scale can't tell the difference between fat loss and muscle loss. And that distinction could have a major impact on your metabolism, long-term health, and ability to keep the weight off! On today's show I want to go over why preserving muscle while losing fat should be the primary goal of any weight-loss program. I will also discuss how common dieting methods, including overly restrictive diets,...

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

Becca: Hi Dr. Cabral! My husband is challenged by a "cobalt conundrum". Several years back he was overexposed to wet cement, spending hours mixing it with his hands. (Big mistake) Shortly after he developed a severe body rash along with painful cramps and diarrhea. After many tests, they found an allergy to cobalt via a skin test, and we assume it relates to the cement mixing incident. Severely limiting cobalt both topically and in diet has helped, but he still struggles with GI issues. Functional medicine tests showed leaky gut. He attempted treatment but even one basic supplement (dairy free igg) caused severe stomach issues. Meanwhile he's missing vital nutrients from avoiding b12 (cobalt) etc. How can he address leaky gut and allergies when he's so sensitive to treatments? Signed, Your Fan

Ally: Hi Dr. Cabral, I am a new Level 2 graduate and I have a new client who is 20-years old with a history of anorexia. she is 5-years post treatment. She complains of bloating, constipation, and just having trouble eating. She is of normal weight, and is looking for relief. I was thinking of doing the Big 3 labs and the CBO protocol.. Any recommendations would be very appreciated. I do not want to recommend the wrong plan of care for her. Warmest regards, Ally :)

Tommy: Hey Dr. C, I’m an IHP, 36. Had a birth defect, 3 operations by the age of 8 including tonsillectomy. Sleep issues began at 9, insomnia by 12, eczema, fainting, 14 years of steroid creams and thousands of antibiotics. I’ve got high heavy metals and Citrabacter freundi. I can’t tolerate any protocols even at a lower dose, they make my existing problems worse. On days where I train intensely I struggle to shut off. I feel like my body is always stuck in a low level of stress. I’ve cut down my training a lot but I’m not sure what else I can do. I’m tolerating zinc Carnosine which helps but I still always have red skin on my face. Still struggle to tolerate stress. If only I could do a heavy metal protocol.

Sarah: Hi! Hope you are well and love tuning in daily to learn from you! I have been trying to heal leaky gut and chronic hives for over a decade now. Because I am very reactive I stop and start a lot. However, I recently gave in and started a low dose prednisone and over a couple weeks lost 10lbs of inflammation, hives gone, that I couldn't break with any diet (restriction), exercise etc. I would like to do some testing and do the CBO protocol as this started after antibiotics. My question is, will this skew the results of cortisol/A1C and will it be okay to continue on to keep symptoms calm while getting to the root and going through some protocols? Thanks! (BTW) I have tried all the natural stabilizers and didn't help calm symptoms. (Quercetin, Vit C, Mag, etc)

Sienna: Hi Dr. Cabral, this is a follow up to my question on 3782 re testing for perimenopause please. Thank you for your guidance and if I could run EL labs I would. I have NO access to Saliva Testing in my country (and EL don't ship here). So I know about SMM & Fertility Labs but can't run them so I am *specifically* asking IF estrogen & progesterone tested by an endocrinologist (BLOOD) have ANY value as a way to look at levels? LH, FSH & AMH are great as I can get these from bloods, can you please provide the healthy ranges vs. perimenopause? Would really appreciate it as this is the only option I have to look deeper & PCP here don't have a functional approach so really value your guidance on anything you can share to help me support my body. Thank-you, Sienna
