The Cabral Concept

A personalized health program can make all the difference when you're working toward better health, wellness, and longevity. When you're dealing with ongoing health concerns, it can be easy to jump from one diet, supplement, or practitioner to another without knowing what's actually working. On today's show, I'm breaking down the framework I've used throughout my years in practice to help create a more personalized and effective approach to health and wellness. I'll share why consistency, comprehensive data, and the right sequence can make such a difference, along with how to evaluate your progress and adapt your plan as your body changes. So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3896 to learn how to build a more complete health program and why looking at the whole picture may be the key to getting the results you're looking for.

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…

Matthew: Hi Dr. Cabral-I just listened to your podcasts on the Berberine and cancer studies. Thank you for bringing it to us. I was curious if the same results could be seen with Dihydro berberine. I saw the chemical formula in the study was berberine hydrochloride which I believe is the same as the Berberine+ product. Does it make a difference? Do you have an opinion on Dihydro berberine? I am assuming you believe that hydrochloride is superior since it is used in Berberine+. Thank you Selena: Is it good to followe a Lectin Avoidance Diet? Anonymous: Good day Dr.Cabral, enjoy regularly watching your weekend "ask cabral". A family member of mine is doing immunotherapy for their HCC (hepatocellular carcinoma). Wondering how to deal with immune-related side effects, so far they are tolerating it but they said potential side-effects such as overactive immune system attacking organs is a concern. Please advise so we can prepare. Also what kind of supplements do you recommend if this was someone important to you. His A1c IS 5.4, Lipids good. but Liver enzymes are higher. I know you mentioned berberine, any others? Green tea? Thanks Anonymous: Hi Dr.Cabral, me again. Follow up to add to my previous question. Alternative to calm an over-active immune system instead of steroids (predinsone etc). I know the gut microbiome plays an important role. I watched a podcast by a well-known doctor saying that higher levels of Akkermansia Muncipallis help during immunotherapy and other treatment modalities. How can I increase akkermansia, can I just take a single strain probiotic of it? Worried consuming too much pomegrante juice (high in sugar) might not be ideal. Can't wait till your course for this topic is released. You mentioned working on a cancer-based course. Thank you always. You're a light in this space (longevity, wellness). Jennifer: What is the chemical reason that antidepressants cause weight gain?

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:

Susie: My son is level 1 ASD. He is very high functioning and attends mainstream school. His main issue is his rigid thinking which leads to mis-reading situations and this has a great impact on him socially. He is liked by his peers but is socially excluded and as a 16 year old boy this is tough. We have done years of therapy but are in the same boat regarding this issue…do you have any advice/protocols that may help him if this is a gut/brain issue that effects any potential thoughts or behaviour? He does well academically, is loved and respected by teachers and has recently been elected by his peers and teachers to be a prefect. This situation is very confusing for us as the lack of real friends and social interactions doesn't make sense to us. Please help if you can Andie: Hi Stephen, I just wanted to thank you for the incredible podcast and everything you continue to share. I've learned so much from you over the years. I'm hoping you might have some insight on a health issue I'm trying to figure out. My hs-CRP recently came back at 46.7 mg/L, after previously being 6.4 mg/L and 0.2 mg/L before that. I follow a very clean, whole-food diet and take your foundational supplements, including Omega-3, DNS, and Vitamin D3 + K2. I've also completed the CBO and Heavy Metals programs. I do have Type 1 diabetes, although my A1C is around 5.1%. Do you have any recommendations for what I should investigate or consider to identify the cause of such a high CRP? Thank you again for all the work you do! Willow: Hello Dr. Cabral! I just recently discovered your podcast and was listening to an episode where you cover the topic of sea moss. I was inclined to begin taking it before, but after you mentioned there being plenty of other more beneficial products to take, I reconsidered. I'm curious what your top 10 recommended products would be to start taking? I am young teenager and am wanting to prioritize my overall health. Thank you so much for your time and attention! Missy: What is your take on high oxalate foods? I feel they affect may people and should be avoided however your smoothies and food plans suggest many of those foods Hope you talk about this Bob: In one of your YouTube videos you stated that Nattokinase doesn't help everyone and you would tell who it doesn't help and why, but I missed what you said about who it doesn't help and why? 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! - - -

I'll also share why cardiovascular fitness deserves attention, how everyday movement can play a role, and what you can do to build a stronger foundation for longevity without needing to train like an elite athlete.

The number on the scale can change dramatically from one day to the next, but that doesn't always mean your body composition has changed. There are several everyday factors that can cause temporary changes on the scale, and understanding what's really behind those fluctuations can help you better interpret your progress. On today's show, I'm breaking down why you can suddenly weigh three to five pounds more in a day and what may actually be happening inside your body. I'll also share how to identify your personal triggers, why women may notice greater fluctuations at certain points in their cycle, and the best way to track your true baseline when working toward a healthy weight. So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3890 to find out why the scale can change so quickly and how to stop letting normal weight fluctuations derail your progress.

Hair loss can be frustrating, especially when many of the current approaches focus on managing the problem rather than addressing what may be happening at the follicle level. New research is exploring some fascinating possibilities for supporting hair regrowth by looking at the biology of the hair follicle in a different way. On today's show, I'm breaking down a recent study that generated some surprising results and sharing what researchers are discovering about the mechanisms that may influence hair growth. I'll also explain why the findings are promising but still very early, what needs to happen before these approaches can be tested more extensively, and why I believe we may see significant advances in hair-loss treatments over the coming years. So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3889 as we take a closer look at some of the most exciting new research into hair loss and the future of hair regrowth.

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…

Anonymous: I was wondering what the minimum amount of gluten and minimum amount of days is to eat before taking a celiac test. I heard only 2 weeks instead of 6 will work. I get bad brain fog so can't take the test if it's 6 weeks. Thank you!

S: Hi Dr. Cabral. I recently learned about Safe Catch Tuna. I know normally it is important to limit tuna consumption due to mercury accumulating in the fish. I'm just wondering if this brand truly makes it any safer to consume tuna a bit more often? They have different varieties of tuna such as albacore and skipjack if the type of tuna matters (If it does could you clarify why?).

Holly: Hi Dr. C, the past 6 months ive begun struggling with massive fatigue that hits about 3pm. I complete the seasonal detox, ive done CBO and eat well (including rarely any sugar)… ive changed nothing (apart from starting the gym, lifting weights). I'm 42 and have tried tracking my symptoms to my cycle- and I mostly get fatigued in the first week-2 after my period and a day or 2 before. I'm 42, have an autoimmune condition (alopecia areata that I had rebalanced /regrown but developed another patch a few months ago). Is this perimenopause? What can I do to rebalance my hormones naturally? Note I'm not currently in a financial postion to do any functional testing. Thank you

Susan: Hi Dr Cabral, I'm new to the community and appreciate all that you do. I'm a whole food plant-based eater and eat mostly organic food when possible. Recently I experienced bouts of diarrhea for about 2 weeks before showing improvement over the next two weeks. I didn't want to take over the counter medicine, so I let it run its course. I had no other symptoms. What could I have done to treat this? Thanks for your help.

Erin: I have had 2 c-sections and 2 years ago had a hernia repair and abdominal repair at the same time. For about a year now i have had an area below the diaphragm that is so tight and bloats most of the time. I went to a myofascial specialist and she said that area is full of scar tissue from the repair (it was the start of the abdominal repair in that area) and it was holding so much water. She said the way my c-sections were done it blocked my lymphatic drainage. So i will be doing some weekly work with her but what else can I do to breakdown all that tissue. I am so miserable so often from it. Thank you for your help.

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!
