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!

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 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!

When people think of cancer prevention, they often think of supplements or advanced therapies. But some of the most powerful support starts with what's on your plate. With nearly 2 million new cancer diagnoses each year in the U.S., evidence-based nutrition has never been more important. On today's episode, I break down research exploring how certain whole foods can support immune function, including natural killer cell activity, while also helping regulate inflammation. I also explain why no single food is a cure-all, and how lasting health comes from restoring balance by addressing deficiencies, reducing toxic load, supporting gut health, and managing chronic stress. So join me for today's Cabral Concept 3625 to learn how simple, research-backed food choices can become a powerful part of your integrative health foundation. Enjoy the show, and as always, let me know your thoughts!

Is alcohol actually anti-inflammatory, or is that just misleading science? On today's show, we dive into one of the most confusing and controversial topics in the health world: alcohol. You may have heard that certain types of alcohol can lower inflammation markers in the body, but the real story is far more nuanced. In this episode, we explore what the research truly shows, who may benefit from small amounts of alcohol, and who is more likely to experience increased inflammation, poor detoxification, or negative long-term health effects. So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3590 to learn how to evaluate your own bio-individual response and make the best decision for your long-term health and wellness. Enjoy the show!
