Many people believe fat loss is simply a matter of eating less and moving more, yet their bodies continue to resist, no matter how disciplined they are.
 
 
On today’s show, I break down the five most common physiological reasons the body resists fat loss and explain the one critical question your body is always asking: Is it safe to let this weight go right now?
 
 
You’ll learn why the body may hold onto fat as a protective response, even when nutrition, movement, and consistency are already in place.
 
 
I also explain why creating internal safety signals, rather than relying on calorie restriction or overtraining, is the key to sustainable fat loss and long-term metabolic health.
 
 
So join me on today’s Cabral Concept Episode 3652 to discover why your body may be blocking fat loss and what changes you can make to finally work with your physiology instead of against it.
 
 
Enjoy the show, and let me know your thoughts!

Many people assume that fitness is only about athletic performance, but true fitness is really about capability, resilience, and longevity.
 
 
On today’s Cabral Concept, we take a fascinating look back at the 1950s Presidential Fitness Test and ask an important question: Would you pass it today?
 
 
I break down the five original fitness challenges and explain why these foundational abilities were emphasized decades ago, and why they still matter just as much now.
 
 
You’ll learn what the original standards were, how they translate into realistic expectations for adults today, and why meeting these benchmarks is a practical marker of long-term health and independence.
 
 
If you want to know whether your body is prepared for real-life demands, and how to improve your overall fitness without chasing perfection join me on today’s Cabral Concept 3651 to see if you would pass the 1950s Presidential Fitness Test.
 
 
Enjoy the show, and let me know what you think!

Feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, or constantly “on” even when you’re getting things done? The issue may not be how much you’re doing, but how much input your nervous system is processing each day.

 

On today’s show, I break down the critical difference between being overworked and overstimulated, and explain why overstimulation is one of the most overlooked drivers of burnout, stress-related health issues, and stalled momentum.

 

You’ll learn how constant notifications, information overload, and nonstop problem-solving keep the nervous system locked in a chronic stress response.

 

I also share practical strategies to reduce mental noise, regain clarity, and build real momentum by simplifying inputs, setting clear priorities, and focusing on one key area of life at a time.

 

Join me on today’s Cabral Concept 3650, to discover why you may not be overworked, but overstimulated, and what you can do about it.

 

Enjoy the show!

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…

Linda: Hi Dr. Cabral, I listen to your podcast every morning when I drive my son to school. I love it! Recently, you mentioned the 4 things to do to add 14 years of life. Typically, I have a serving of aronia berries or goji berries every day. Does that count for one of the 5 servings of fruits and vegetables per day? Or, does the fruit have to be fresh or frozen? Thank you!! Linda 
 
Morgan: Hi Dr Cabral! I have fair skin and as I get older (currently in my mid-30s) I notice that I'm getting lots more freckles on my body- when I was younger I almost never got them. I'm curious if this is an indication of something health-related or if it's "just aging". Is there anything I can do to change this? Thank you! 
 
Maria: Can you talk about watery eyes?. usually every morning , corner of my eyes get watery and I always have to wipe them sometimes 2 to 3 times before I put my mascara on. Thank you for all you do spreading your knowledge. I love listening to your podcast every day, especially on the weekends. I really love the way you recap the week. Thanks again! 
 
S: I've been seeing xylitol nasal sprays being promoted lately. How is xylitol supposed to help nasal passages and is it safe and effective? When could this be helpful or not? 
 
Bettina: Hello Dr. Cabral, My son is 15 and has been grinding his teeth since age 6. It’s not severe, but consistent. At 6, one craniosacral session reduced it by about half. Since then, he has had craniosacral therapy every few years, which helps but does not eliminate it. He also saw a physiotherapist specializing in neck and jaw, which helped slightly, though craniosacral was more effective. He likely has mild Scheuermann’s based on posture, similar to his father and grandmother. None of them are diagnosed, but all show the same posture. Not sure if there can be a link. He has never had headaches or similar issues. He is active and happy. He takes daily: multivitamin, magnesium (Magnesium taurate, magnesium gluconate, zinc picolinate), vitamin D, and zinc picolinate. The multivitamin is either food-state or a highly absorbable formula with high-dose B12 (methylcobalamin & adenosylcobalamin), active vitamin D3 from lichen. We live in Denmark, which does not allow import of the lab tests used by EquiLife anymore, so that is not an option. What would you recommend? Thank you for your time. 

Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right!

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: 

 

Will: Hi Dr Cabral, Thank you for giving us the opportunity to ask you questions. I’ve learned so much from other people’s questions! I have two of my own. 1. Regarding your past podcast on the importance of broccoli and garlic. I travel a lot for work. When I travel and can’t get broccoli or garlic, would it be ok to take a broccoli and garlic supplement. ? 2. I recently purchased the equililife mushroom supplement. Do you recommend taking it all year round or just in the winter. Thanks so much! Will
 
Carol: Dr Cabral, I would like to start by thanking you for all the information you freely give. I’ve been listening to your podcast almost since it started and I have been able to make positive changes in my life and my family’s. I am a healthy, active 62 year old woman. I walk 5 to 10 miles most days. I do strength training 3 to 5 times a week plus cardio a couple days a week. Through diet and exercise I have been able to maintain my weight most of my adult life. If my weight started to go up I would make adjustments in my diet (which was usually from getting sloppy with my diet). Since 2017 I’ve done your detox at least 3 times a year (I just haven’t been able to swing 4), and they usually help me lose the few pounds I gained and put me back on track with my eating. For the last few years, however, my weight has been creeping up higher and nothing (not even the detoxes) have helped me lose the added weight. I’ve tried everything I could think of, but my weight continues to go up instead of down. I went through menopause 10 years ago. I’m at a loss at what to do, but I definitely don’t want to continue to gain weight. Do you have any thoughts or suggestions? Thank you, Carol                                                                                                                                                                                 
Mohamed: Good morning to you Doctor Cabral and all the listeners. Grateful for all that you do. My question is regarding a sort of pinch like feeling on my left side (near heart). On and off randomly.. did blood work and EKG (normal findings). Ran minerals and Metals.. on the higher side for K & N.. Mg green and Calcium (leaning towards high). Other minerals were low, except phosphorus (slightly high) Noticing bloating after meals.. could leaky gut be related to the occasional pinch feeling I get… it’s either that or cortisol.. Which lab should I run (can only do 1).. Taking Omega3 support, DNS, Magnesium and exercising twice a week.. I’m a 27 year old man. Noticing new onset fatigue, bloating.. A bit worried about my heart.. thanks.. What can help, proteolytic enzymes, Apple cider Vinegar before meals. Or B vitamins. Thoughts? 
 
Cheryl: Morning, My 73 year old dad has type 2 diabetes. He is otherwise in good health, an active golfer, is about 165lbs and walks daily. My parents are old school and believe everything the dr says. Recently, his dr just uped his metformin to 2x a day from 1x and put him on a pill for his A1C. I am annoyed that the meds are just increased instead of looking at the root cause. They recently saw a dietician who said it is not reversable which I know is not at all true. My mom cooks healthy meals but my dad does have a sweet tooth. When he wants something sweet it is often sugar/free which is terrible and full of chemicals. I do not agree with all of the sugar free stuff/sweetners and try go get them to choose different things-monkfruit/coconut sugar but the dietician recommended the splenda type stuff. would love to help my dad reverse this. Any suggestions where to start would be appreciated. Thank you:) 
 
Elizabeth: Hi Dr Cabral! Thank you for the amazing work that you do! My 80 year old mother has been experiencing consistent burning mouth syndrome for the past 12 years. She had tried all the conventional methods, gabapentin, CT scan etc and nothing has helped. I recently read that the drop in estrogen during menopause could be the cause. What do you think and any recommendations? Thanks again! 
 
Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!

Jan 29, 2026
Sardines are one of the most nutrient-dense, anti-inflammatory foods you can eat, but does eating only sardines actually count as fasting?
 
 
On today’s show, I break down the growing trend of “sardine fasting,” explain why it’s gaining popularity, and clarify the key differences between true fasting, fasting-mimicking diets, and simply following a low-calorie, high-protein plan.
 
 
You’ll learn why sardines, while incredibly healthy, do not lower IGF-1 or activate AMPK, why that matters for longevity and autophagy, and when a sardine-only day may—or may not—make sense depending on your goals.
 
 
Join me on today’s Cabral Concept, Episode 3646, to find out whether the sardine fasting diet really works and what you can do instead to achieve better results.
 
 
Enjoy the show!

Are you eating less, exercising more, and still struggling to lose weight?
 
 
What if fat loss isn’t about willpower or calories alone, but about whether your body feels safe enough to release stored fat?
 
 
On today’s show, I explain why fat loss is permission-based, and how your body relies on a specific set of internal signals to decide whether it burns fat or holds onto it.
 
 
We explore how these hidden factors influence your metabolism behind the scenes, and you’ll learn practical steps to begin restoring these signals, without extreme dieting or burning yourself out.
 
 
So join me for today’s Cabral Concept 3645 to discover how you can be doing everything right and still not losing weight, and why working with your biology, rather than fighting it, is the real key to sustainable weight loss, better energy, and long-term health.
 
 
Enjoy the show, and as always, let me know your thoughts!

What if feeling energized, fit, and disciplined on the outside was quietly masking stress, oxidative damage, and long-term burnout on the inside?
 
 
On today’s Unsolved Health Mystery Case, I sit down with Troy Casey to review his Minerals & Metals Test and uncover what his labs reveal beneath the surface.
 
 
Despite a clean diet, consistent movement, fasting, and high-performance habits, Troy’s results show clear patterns of elevated stress response, oxidative load, and a more catabolic state, all common in driven, high-output individuals.
 
 
Together, we break down how chronic stress, long-term fasting, and constant energy expenditure can deplete mineral reserves, strain the nervous system, and quietly accelerate aging, even when someone appears healthy and symptom-free.
 
 
We discuss why mineral ratios tell a far deeper story than individual nutrient levels, how these imbalances impact hormones, brain health, and recovery, and what it really takes to balance performance with longevity.
 
 
So join me on today’s Cabral Concept 3644 to discover what your own labs may be revealing about stress, fueling, recovery, and long-term vitality, and how shifting from constant output to sustainable balance can protect your health for decades to come.
 
 
Enjoy the show!

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 follow-through.
 
 
So join me for today’s Cabral Concept 3643 to learn how committing to your “Daily Three” and not going to bed until they’re completed, can help you achieve more by doing less.
 
 
Enjoy the show, and as always, let me know your thoughts!

Jan 25, 2026

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, veggie blend, renewal system, fish oil, eye, magnesium, and Vit d. Do you have any ideas what this might be? If I could get him to test, which test would you recommend? My grandmother did shake 
 
Alicja: Hello Dr.Cabral, I hope you're having a great day. My question is about heart rate. I wear smart ring that detects high heart rate during periods of time when I seat a lot and the only activity would be: getting up occasionally from my desk to walk to kitchen or bathroom. I do 10k steps per day, every day and I exercise every other day for 30-50 min alternating between: hot yoga, pilates, jogging and resistance training. Most of my walking and exercising is done in the first half of the day. During walking or exercising my heart rate is pretty steady, not very high, usually below 120 (except for running) but often the highest heart rate of my day I get in the second half of the day when I don't do any physical activity. It doesn't make sense to me. Why would my heart rate jump to 135 when I don't exercise or do any big activity? I'm 42 and I have low blood pressure. (if that matters)
 
Tricia: Hi Dr. Cabral - Do you mind telling me if I'm taking all of your supplements below correctly? Honestly, I would love to work with an IHP but affording all the supplements is all I can do right now. I've been doing this since June of 2025. Upon waking - 2 proteolytic enzymes, 30 minutes later 3 of the sinus and immune support (only during cold season) and daily probiotic. Roughly 2 Hours later right before my morning DNS smoothie (am Metavolve, 2 eye vitamins, 2 cell boost, collagen & D3K2 drops in smoothie). With Lunch 2 hair vitamins and 3 inflamma soothe. Dinner (2 pm Metavolve, 2 fish oil) An hour before bed 2 Full Spectrum Magnesium. I started this protocol to help with lowering inflammation, joint stiffness and pain and it has been a game changer. I exercise daily and eat your Med diet recommendation and literally you gave me my life back so I thank you so very much. My health journey is still a work in progress, but I will get there! I just started Metavolve two months ago. I really like it. I haven't been able to give up all my berries and sweet potatoes but I'm going to try again Jan 1! P.S. I love your new book!
 
Scott: Hello Stephen, happy holidays!! I'm writing in about my mother. She's 69 years old with coronary artery disease. 2 years ago she had 2 separate procedures to remove considerable blockage. Then, this past September, she had it done again. All together 4 stints, 2 in her widow maker. She hasn't drank alcohol in 10 yrs and quit smoking for over 2 years, although her previous lifestyle was lacking in many areas which I'm sure built up to her CAD. There's heart issues within the extended family, but, I know its not just genetics. She has done EXCELLENT zeroing in on her diet after this last round of surgery and she has felt the inflammation in her body pretty much disappear. She still, once in awhile, gets winded, which I can understand her being weary to go too long on the upright bike. She has researched online and food seems really restricted like salt intake, sugar and even really healthy things like Xtra virgin olive oil, which says only 2 tablespoons a day....that seems odd. She's on a certain type blood thinner but her heart doctor gave the okay for omega 3's and was really happy when she read the ingredients on the DNS bottle. I have her on EquiLife supplements since the first surgery; Omega 3's, Vitamin C., Vitamin D3, DNS, B-Complex, Cal-Mag, Balanced Zinc, the new Pea Protein, and collagen from another company (but it's clean) As an IHP level 1 and starting level 2, I'm trying to help her the very best I can. I suggested lime w/ a pinch of sea salt for an electrolyte morning drink but she's too cautious of the salt intake. I'd love for her to try a 21 day detox, she doesn't think she can do all the fasting days except maybe the first 2 days. Even the 14 day detox would be good too, but, would these be too hard on her with her condition, especially when CAD patients are restricted from eating even the healthiest of foods like olive oil? The literature says CAD patients do not have a long time once they have that condition, but, I'm trying to my best to extend her years, she is our family's rock. Thanks for all you do Stephen, you are a mentor sir!!!
 
Sienna: Hi Dr. Cabral - it would be incredible to hear YOUR WHY behind formulating Daily Nutritional Support and the Dr. Cabral Detox, and how this came about? From listening to your podcasts these are strong foundations behind your brand and recommendations. Also, what would you list as the "12-supplements in one"? Thanks for all you do.

Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right!

Jan 24, 2026

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: 

 

Savanna: Hi Dr Cabral. My daughter was diagnosed with PANDAS through blood work after i noticed âlot of behavioral regression. She has also been recently diagnosed with level one, high functioning autism. I feel like a detective trying to figure out whats causing these flares. Some months she has seemingly zero symptoms. Then something sets it off (of course the sickness is one culprit causing the PANDAS) but over laps into autistic behaviors. I guess Im trying to ask for help in this mystery of triggers. Also suggestions of where to start to boost her immune system to prevent the sickness in the first place. I feel so discouraged as a parent not knowing how to help my child and watching her suffer. Just as I think I find a good supplement, it stops working. Such as valerian. We were using it as one calming aid and it worked for months and now all the sudden doesnt seem to be doing anything. This has happened with supplements in the past. I did your heavy metal detox and parasite cleanse with her a few years ago. Thnx                
                                                                     
 
Yvonne: As a post-menopausal woman, according to my gynecologist, I am not eligible for bioidentical hormones.  Is it ok to take DHEA after a certain age due to ongoing menopause symptoms of facial aging, insomnia, vaginal dryness etc and, if so, what dosage?    
 
                                                                    
Emily: Hi Dr Cabral, I am currently working through an autoimmune face rash. I am working with a local integrative functional doctor who is recommending low dose naltrexone, and many other items. What are your thoughts on LDN? Harmful, helpful? How long should one stay on it?
 
 
Laura: Hi, I’m interested in what ingredients are ok in supplements and food.. for example, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose in baking or in supplements, different gums, which additives are ok? Thank you
 
 
Sheena: HI Dr.C! Hope you and your team are well. I'm a 45 year old in perimenopause and would like to prevent osteoporosis. Could you give me some advice on what's the best way to do this? I take foundational level 3 plus added vitamin D, magnesium, zinc and vitamin b. complex. I'm not not taking any calcium supplements except from my multi. Is this a prob? Do I need a special protocol for perimenopause support and osteo? Any advice and recommendations will be appreciated! thank you!

Jan 22, 2026
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 fats and dairy, and an underemphasis on fruits, vegetables, and fiber.
 
 
I’ll also explain why no government guideline can replace personalized nutrition, and how using individual data, lifestyle context, and metabolic health markers is essential for creating sustainable results.
 
 
So join me for today’s Cabral Concept 3639 to learn how to interpret the 2026 food pyramid wisely and apply it in a way that truly supports your health.
 
 
Enjoy the show, and as always, let me know your thoughts!

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.
 
 
So join me for today’s Cabral Concept 3638 to learn why winter weight loss is harder and how to overcome it.

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.
 
 
You’ll learn how statins can impact brain health, exercise adaptation, and overall longevity, as well as what key health markers deserve far more attention when evaluating cardiovascular risk.
 
 
So join me for today’s Cabral Concept 3637 to learn how statins destroy the body and brain and go over the research-backed pros and cons of one of the most widely prescribed drugs in the world.
 
 
Enjoy the show, and as always, let me know your thoughts!

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 results. 
 
 
If you’ve been working hard, but feel like your results don’t match your effort, this episode will help you refocus on what truly moves the needle.
 
 
So join me for today’s Cabral Concept 3636 to learn how to stop staying busy and start becoming effective.
 
 
Enjoy the show, and as always, let me know your thoughts!

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…

 

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.

Jan 17, 2026

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: 

 

Sheena: Hi Dr C! Hope you and your team are well. I've been hearing a lot about colostrum lately and it piqued my interest. Can you speak a little about it? Do you use it? Is there a brand you would recommend? Is it safe for anyone? Who should avoid it? Side effects? I take a probiotic everyday, can colostrum replace this?? Looking forward to hearing your response. Thanks in advance!             
 
                                                                                                                                        
Frankie: Hi Stephen, My name is Frankie Im 21 years old, and I wanted to follow up from Episode 3382, where you mentioned my symptoms could be connected to gut issues, low vitamin D, magnesium, metals, or GERD. Since then, I followed a strict LPR diet for about two months  no gluten, coffee, alcohol, peanuts, oats, onions, garlic, broccoli, beans, etc. My LPR symptoms improved by around 70%, and while I still have some mucus in my throat, its nowhere near as potent as before. During and after the protocol, I focused on rebuilding my gut with some gut-rebuilding supplements and slowly reintroducing foods. Its now been about three months since finishing the protocol, and Ive gained around 14 pounds. I also still deal with loose stool almost every day, which hasnt improved much. It’s honestly shocked me because Im very dialed in with both my food and workouts, yet the weight gain and digestive changes still happened. I wanted to get your thoughts on what direction to take from here. I havent run the Big 5 protocol since Im based in Canada, and it would end up costing quite a bit more with shipping and exchange rates. Also, I just wanted to mention its surprising how many young people my age are struggling with digestive and gut related issues. Its becoming way too common. Thanks again for all the work you do, and I hope you have a great day I listen to you every morning. Frankie
 
 
Gary: Hi Dr. Cabral. Im 49, male & over the last 4 years taken a deep interest in my health. I had cerebral malaria (2003) & as a result developed essential tremor both hands. Listened to 2 podcasts & working on noticeable triggers like ltd caffeine & alcohol. It hasnt got worse, but really is there any way to reverse it? Neurologist says surgery has no guarantee.  I would value the truth & if it were your wife what you would do please. So much life ahead 🙏 (PS. Partner is an IHP so DESTRESS at the heart of our approach) we want to do EVERYTHING we can. Thank you
 
 
Sienna: Hi Dr. Cabral - so excited about your new Pea Protein, got great feedback from the support team, however would love your response. Pea Protein safe for kids? Since DNS is I would approach it in same way, Dr. AI says generally kids get enough from food so not recommended… Do you give this to your daughters in same way you have it? Ie a little more protein in smoothies *daily* or just in baked goods like pancakes occasionally. Thank you! Happy holidays

Could the very supplements meant to support your methylation be working against you?

 

On today’s episode, I uncover a major misunderstanding about methylation and why supplements like methyl folate (B9) and B12 don’t always work the way people expect them to.

 

I explain why simply adding more methyl donors isn’t enough, how missing foundational nutrients can create unwanted symptoms, and what most people are overlooking when trying to support their brain, energy, and nervous system.

 

So join me for today’s Cabral Concept 3632 to learn why methylation supplements usually backfire, how to properly support methylation, and how to avoid one of the most common supplement mistakes I see in practice.

 

Enjoy the show, and as always, let me know your thoughts!

Have you been eating well and exercising, yet still struggling to lose weight?
 
 
What if the real issue has nothing to do with calories or willpower at all?
 
 
On today’s episode, I break down the science showing how poor sleep can directly sabotage fat loss, increase muscle breakdown, and slow your metabolism, even when you’re doing everything else “right.”
 
 
Most importantly, I explain how optimizing sleep can become one of the most powerful tools for sustainable weight loss, improved metabolic health, and long-term body transformation.
 
 
So join me for today’s Cabral Concept 3631 to learn why sleep is not optional for fat loss and how dialing it in can finally help you break through stubborn plateaus.
 
 
Enjoy the show, and as always, let me know your thoughts!

Have you ever wondered why ADHD diagnoses continue to rise, yet so many people still struggle to find real, lasting solutions?
 
 
On today’s show, I take a deeper look at ADHD and why focusing only on symptom management may be overlooking the true root causes.
 
 
While medication may temporarily improve focus and behavior, it can also come with unwanted side effects and still doesn’t address the underlying imbalances that contribute to attention issues in the first place.
 
 
I explain how factors like nutrient deficiencies, inflammation, blood sugar instability, nervous system stress, and environmental toxins can all play a role in ADHD symptoms.
 
 
So join me for today’s Cabral Concept 3630 to explore why the conventional view of ADHD may be missing the bigger picture, and how addressing the body as a whole can support focus, emotional regulation, and long-term brain health.
 
 
Enjoy the show, and as always, let me know your thoughts!
