The Cabral Concept

Willpower is often seen as the key to achieving our health and life goals, but what if your environment has a much greater influence on your success?     On today’s show, I explore why relying on willpower alone can make lasting change more difficult and how intentionally designing your environment can make healthy habits easier to maintain.     I’ll break down how to reduce friction around the habits you want to build, make unhealthy choices harder, create supportive routines, and surround yourself with people who help keep you aligned with your goals.    ...

3841: Does a High Fat Keto Diet Double Blood Sugar? (WW) show art 3841: Does a High Fat Keto Diet Double Blood Sugar? (WW)

The Cabral Concept

There’s been a lot of discussion recently about whether a high-fat ketogenic diet can actually cause blood sugar levels to double and lead to insulin resistance.     While the headlines may make it sound simple, the reality is much more nuanced. The way your body responds to a ketogenic diet can depend on how long you follow it, the types of fats you consume, your overall calorie intake, and your current metabolic health.     On today’s show, I break down the latest research behind the claims surrounding keto and blood sugar, explain what may actually be happening...

The Cabral Concept

Living a longer, healthier life isn’t just about supplements, exercise, or following the perfect diet. Sometimes, it comes down to something as simple as making sure you’re consistently eating the right foods.     Research has repeatedly identified one particular food group as being strongly associated with longevity and a lower risk of several major health concerns. And while it may not be the first food that comes to mind when you think about living a longer, healthier life, the research behind it is surprisingly compelling.     On today’s show, I break down the...

Bettina: Hi Dr. Cabral, I’m a 46‑year‑old woman in perimenopause. Two years ago an ENT confirmed slight hearing loss in my left ear. I was asked to return for follow‑up but haven’t done so. My grandmother developed early hearing loss and needed a hearing aid around age 40-50. I’ve never had repeated ear infections, though the ENT noted small spots on my eardrum ( i think it was). I’m self‑conscious about hearing aids at my age, and I’m concerned about EMF exposure from modern hearing aids that connect to apps. I would appreciate your thoughts. Thank you so much for your thoughts.  
 
 
Ali: Hello Dr.Cabral, is magnesium supplementation always necessary? Based on Cronometer, I get about 600mg of magnesium from food alone (mainly soaked and pressure cooked legumes to minimize phytic acid and from avocados, potatoes and various vegetables). I also get only about 500mg of calcium from food so I supplement daily 350mg of calcium from marine algae calcium. Whenever I tried to supplement magnesium on top of my dietary intake, I get restless legs at night despite the supplemental calcium I get. I tried all quality forms of magnesium and the only one that doesn’t cause is about 50mg of L-threonate. So does it mean that my magnesium intake from food is sufficient? My HTMA shows good balance between calcium & magnesium.  
 
 
Nicci: Dear Dr. Cabral, I am writing you from Europe, Austria. I have always had on the lover level white blood cells (4 or 5). Now They are as low as 2.2, This is the first time they are so low. I will now have to go to the hospital and they will check it. But I just want to know your opinion from your experience with other patients. I have had a few virus infections in the last three months, including sinusitis. And I am also very stressed. What do you see in other patients with 2.2. white blood cells? Neutrophile are 1000/m3. Hemoglobin is 12 but I started taking Iron 10 days before blood test because I felt cold all the time, Iron is now 70, ferritin 41. Trans ferritin 12,9%. B6, B12, zink and copper are ok. Gamma GT is a little to high 55! I don´t drink alcohol. Thank You  
 
 
Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral! I love your podcast and have learned so much from listening during my work commute. I was wondering if you could give some insight on syringomyelia. I was diagnosed with a syrinx a few years ago after experiencing some tingling/numbness in my toes which eventually turned into pain throughout my legs and feet. I'm on the lowest dose of pregabalin which helps enough to get me through the day. I would love to stop taking it though and heal my body naturally as the chronic pain has become exhausting. Do you have any suggestions or advise?  
 
 
Riela: Hello! I listened to your podcast on A-Z guide to Children's Health (#858). Does this one apply to babies younger than 1 year old? I do not intend to get a medical shot for me or my baby, and I intend to breastfeed. I was wondering what I could stock up on that would work for babies of that age, to prevent/help treat any viruses/infections that he might get, since he will be born in November.
