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, intermittent fasting without resistance training, and GLP-1 medications, can lead to significant muscle loss if not paired with the right nutrition and exercise strategy.

So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3813 to learn how to lose weight in a way that protects your metabolism, improves body composition, and sets you up for long-term success rather than temporary results.

Enjoy the show!

Many people wonder what they should do before or after receiving a medical shot, but few realize that the same foundational habits that support everyday health can also support a healthy immune response. While the decision to receive a medical shot is a personal one, there are simple ways to help prepare your body and support a healthy recovery afterward should you decide to get one. On today's show, I share the simple strategies I would use to help prepare my body before receiving a medical shot and the steps I would take afterward to support a healthy recovery. You'll discover why what you do before the appointment may be just as important as what you do after, along with practical ways to help your body perform at its best throughout the entire process. Join me on today's Cabral Concept 3812, where I share a straightforward approach to supporting your body's natural defenses before and after a medical shot so you can recover well and continue feeling your best. Enjoy the Show!

What if the biggest thing holding you back isn't your circumstances, but the way you're thinking about them? Many people spend their lives focused on what they don't want: poor health, financial stress, difficult relationships, or unfulfilling careers. But constantly directing your attention toward what you're trying to avoid may actually keep you stuck. On today's show, I share the powerful "Black Coffee Theory of Life" and explain why creating a clear vision of what you do want can transform the way you think, act, and make decisions. You'll learn how your thoughts influence your habits and future, why the brain naturally focuses on whatever receives your attention, and how shifting from fear-based thinking to intentional thinking can help you recognize new opportunities and take inspired action. Join me on today's Cabral Concept 3811 to discover how one simple mindset shift can help you stop focusing on what you don't want and start creating the life you truly do. 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…

Kudisha: Hello Dr. Cabral, Thank you for all that you do. I wish you and your family many healthy years to come. Would you advise someone with an eGFR between 60 and 90 to take the Advanced Cell Force supplement? Also, what are your thoughts on Sea Moss? Thank you in advance for your guidance. Anonymous: Me again! I I am getting ready for my first detox. IM only doing a 7 day out of intimidation. I have a lot of histamine issues and I hope I don't have a bad reaction! Please give tips in case this happens to me. Also, I know the detox advertises weight loss. It seems very low calorie. I don't plan on tracking during the detox or anything, but i have read that losing weight too fast is not healthy, or sustainable as people often gain it back very quickly. I was curious if weight loss during a detox will mainly be water weight, or can I actually lose fat on a 7 day detox? Is this too fast to lose weight? And obviously besides going back to a bad diet, how is the weight loss sustainable after going back to higher calories after the detox? I would love to lose some fat while I'm doing my detox Robin: I currently have blood pressure issues and i treating it naturally it hasnt changed i need help Sarah: Hi Dr. Cabral, We appreciate you and your company and have benefited from using your supplements and protocols. I am wondering what your thoughts are on the efficacy of homeopathic remedies/constitutions and what your thoughts are if you think they truly help. I have a child with PANS-like symptoms, impulsivity, irritability, and some OCD. Using DNS, calming mag, omega 3, added zinc based on HTMA, sometimes NAC and TMG, have done some para cleanses which temporarily helped, successfully lowered heavy metals. Sometimes use PEMF, red light, rebounding, exercise/play/sunlight, chiro, etc. Also do saline nasal spray at night to promote nasal breathing, did myofunctional therapy for a little bit, etc. It is a lot. Gluten free, adequate protein, no artificial food dyes. Could homeopathy help? Laura: Hi Dr. Cabral, Let me begin by first saying that I am really enjoying your lectures. I have just joined IHP and already worked thru the diet and exercise portion. Thank you for sharing all of your valuable knowledge. I would like for you to share with me if you would, how to speed read like you talked about. I have always had difficulty reading maybe because I have dyslexia and ADD. I would like to be able to read like you do and comprehend it at the same time. Also, I would like to share with you that I have had Hypothyroidism since the age of 2 which I have been on Synthroid all of my life. I am 61 now. I have had diabetes for 11 years. I have also been told I have fatty liver. Could you make any recommendations on where I should start to get better? Thank you.

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:

Brent: Hello again, just thought of this and wanted to add some insight to the acid reflux problem, I didnt even think about it but I've been drinking water from a spring for many years now and after some time the water jugs I use start to get algae build up and I have to clean them. Point is algae is high pH and could be throwing off my stomach acid making matters worse, plus the algae feeds good and bad bacteria so I'm sure that didnt help while I was on the cbo protocol... also gonna run the parasite test because i didnt know you could get them from spring water. And gonna start adding lemon or lime to my meals and see of it helps. Again thank you for everything you do and I look forward to hearing your opinion.

Trish: Hello Dr Cabral -- Can you please explain the difference of when to take your estrogen balance or estrogen support? I'm post-menopausal and estrogen dominant. I'm on your progesterone but thought I needed to take an estrogen supplement as well. Thank you!

Jaimie: Thank you for giving us hope when others say there isn't a cure. My 11yr old son was diagnosed with severe Crohn's 6 months ago. No GI symptoms or food triggers or stomach pain. Presented with anal fissures, mouth sores and not growing. He was put on remicaid infusions and his calpractin went from 2500 to 59 in 5 months. CRP levels are normal now and he is gaining weight and growing. Dr doesn't believe in leaky gut or other deficiencies could be part of the issue when I asked about running other labs. What tests would you run if this was your child. I have a hard time accepting infusions are his only solution for the rest of his life. His body is fighting something and the remicaid is just masking the root issue. In addition to the toll it is taking on his liver amongst many other things.

Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral - Is there a non-toxic or at least "less" toxic brand of tampons you can recommend? Thank you!

Anonymous: Hi dr Cabral! Thank you for this show! I had my Dutch test done last year. It showed 24hr free cortisol just at the high marker and the metabolized cortisol low just below the normal range marker. My phase 2 estrogen metabolism methylation marker was also low at 1.6 while the beginning normal range marker is 2.5. Does this all point to a detox pathway issue? What would you suggest? My estrodial was also just below the normal range which surprised me since I have very heavy and painful periods, my practitioner at the time said it might have just been an off month, which I remember was a weird month since my period was actually very mild. That is disheartening since the test is so expensive. I know this test is a year ago, but I've always had these questions and results in my mind. Thanks!

Skin cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide, but could emerging research reveal new tools to support prevention and treatment? While early detection and professional screenings remain essential, new research is exploring additional approaches for supporting the treatment of certain skin lesions. On today's show, we explore Curaderm BEC5, a topical cream containing plant-derived glycoalkaloids that has gained attention for its potential role in supporting basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. You'll learn how Curaderm works, what the research shows, the limitations of current studies, and why early detection remains critical for protecting your skin health. Join me on today's Cabral Concept 3807 to discover what the research says about Curaderm BEC5 and how to make informed decisions when it comes to your skin health. Enjoy the show!

Have you ever lost weight only to find that you still weren't happy with how your body looked? While losing body fat is an important part of improving your health, staying in a constant calorie deficit can slow your metabolism, reduce muscle mass, and make it harder to maintain your results over time. On today's show, I explain why alternating between strategic fat-loss and muscle-building phases is one of the fastest and most sustainable ways to transform your body composition. You'll learn how to preserve muscle while losing fat, why building muscle helps increase your metabolism, and how to structure your nutrition and training throughout the year for long-term success. I'll also share who should begin with a fat-loss phase versus a muscle-building phase, along with a simple framework you can use to create a leaner, stronger, and healthier body. Tune into today's Cabral Concept 3806 to discover how working with your metabolism, instead of against it, can help you achieve lasting results. Enjoy the show, and let me know your thoughts!

Have you ever felt like the harder you try to achieve a goal, the further away it seems to get? Whether it's improving your health, finding the right relationship, growing your finances, or reaching a personal milestone, many people unknowingly create resistance by becoming overly attached to the outcome. On today's show I dive deeper into the concept of Reality Transurfing, a manifestation philosophy that suggests our thoughts, emotions, and inner state influence the reality we experience. You'll learn why desperation and attachment may block progress, how faith and trust can help reduce resistance, and the simple three-step process for aligning yourself with the outcomes you desire. I'll also share practical insights on inspired action, emotional energy, and why focusing less on obstacles may help create more opportunities. Tune into today's Cabral Concept 3804 to discover how shifting your mindset may help you move toward your goals with greater ease, confidence, and clarity. Enjoy the show, and let me know your thoughts!
