The Cabral Concept

Last week I spoke about Carb Cycling and how to effectively use it to lose weight and transform your body… Today what I'd like to do is compare Carb Cycling to Macro Cycling to see if the latter may be a better fit for you (it's definitely simpler) and your goals… For all the details tune into today's #CabralConcept 2084 to find out if Macro Cycling Is Better Than Carb Cycling - Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought in the comments!

By now we all know the immune & metabolic benefits of taking vitamin D3 on a daily basis if we're not maintaining a tan… However, did you know that you could be absorbing more than double the vitamin D each day by making minor changes as to when you take your daily D3? Plus, there are potential downsides to supplementing with Vitamin D3 if done incorrectly, which is why I want to help you easily navigate away from those side effects and instead enjoy all the immune, metabolic, blood sugar, hormones, and many other benefits of using Vitamin D3 safely… So for all the details tune into today's #CabralConcept 2083 for the missing cofactors for absorbing vitamin D3 - Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought in the comments!

I would love to be able to tell you that there is a silver bullet approach to living the easy life, but if I did I'd be lying to you… I think deep down we all know this, but we hold out hope that there is a "one-day fix" or "magic pill" that we can use to create the life we want… Luckily, there's an even better answer that will lead to far greater happiness in the long run and I explain why and what that is on today's show… Tune into today's #CabralConcept 2082 to find out what you must do the hard things every day - Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought in the comments below!

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…

Let's get started!

Cassandra: Hi Dr. Cabral, Since about December I've noticed a ganglion cyst on my wrist. It goes away occasionally but eventually comes back. I asked a physician about it and they said it could be drained but still could come back eventually. The only other solution they suggested is to remove it surgically but only as a last resort if it becomes very painful. Do you know of any natural ways to get rid of this. It's not super painful in daily life but quite uncomfortable if I'm holding a plank for example. Thanks!

Karen: Hi Dr. Cabral! I remember you discussing the Sperti lamp for vitamin D absorption and was wondering if you had been able to test out the lamp? If so, what was your consensus? Super-interested in hearing your thoughts!

Alyssa: Hi Dr Cabral! I have bacterial vaginosis on and off for months on end.. i really don't want to have to take antibiotics as I have a liver and GI disease and autoimmune issues I'm working through with nutrition and holistic modalities. I know antibiotics will really set me back… I know you can't prescribe, just wondering, do you have any natural suggestions to remedy BV? Thank you immensely!

Angele: Hello, I am looking for a natural supplement to keep me calm. I become very nervous when I have to see the doctor and cause my BP to go extremely high.Thanks in advance.

Stacey: Hi Dr Cabral! My name is Stacey, I'm 29 and an Australian listener. We have just had our winter and during that time I noticed the ends of my toes were getting really itchy, red and swollen, it was such an uncomfortable feeling. I was told I have chillblains and that there isn't really a cure then to just keep your feet warm at all times. I must say that has helped so much. But I wonder if this is a response to something else? I have never had this issue before I tried to search up the issue on your podcasts but couldn't find any resources. Thanks so much for your help. Stacey

Sarah: Hi! Love your podcast! I'd love for you to review the book called "No period, now what" by Lisa Sanflippo. I know it's very niche but I also know that you're all about granularity rather than surface level. I'm sure you have listeners that would be interested or know others that are going through it. I think a review will be very valuable for us all and to strengthen your knowledge on this area too :) I hope you consider it!

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:

Vabona: Hi! I recently found out that miralax has ingredients in it that are found in antifreeze. Said ingredients are said to cause many problems including neuropsychiatric and kidney problems. I have miralax to my son for a while from my drs recommendations. I'm terrified of all the damage I have done. What can I do to help my 5 year old detox that is safe. Thank you

Dana: I had a moderate case of covid a month ago and feel depressed ever since. I am 48 and perimenopausal and am wondering if covid causes any vitamin/mineral deficiencies or hormonal changes that may contribute to depression? Prior to getting covid I was taking vit d, c, b complex, magnesium and occasional zinc as well as methylfolate for mthfr def. (one copy). I am prone to seasonal affective disorder but always feel great in summer so this is unusual for me. Thank you! Love your podcast!

Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral. Thanks for taking the time to answer so many questions. I have a question about non-diabetic reactive hypoglycemia. I searched old episodes & found a brief explanation on episode 218 but I think my question is more specific. I have not been officially diagnosed. No matter the amount of carbs I eat or don't eat, my blood sugar drops an hour after I eat a meal to sub 70. At times sub 60. But then 2-3 hours later it spikes. During the day the spike is generally 100-120 but after dinner its 120-150. Fasting BS is below 70-90. I dip into sub 60 during the nights a lot. My sugars are relatively low most of the day until my dinner meal & that is when I get 120-150. It still goes back under 100 before bed. I am wearing a CGM to try to see if I can identify the issue & so far no luck. Like I mentioned the same meal can cause little to no drop/spike & then the next time I have it it does. I have heard that Reactive Hypoglycemia is a precursor to diabetes so I would really like to fix the underlying root cause before that becomes an issue. I eat whole foods 95% of the time, I intermittent fast 12-14hours. I work out 2 cardio 3 strength per week. I try to walk at least 30 minutes each day. Drink lots of water. Thanks for your help!

Megan: Hi Dr. Cabral, I absolutely love your podcast!! I've learned so much and implemented many of your suggestions while healing my body. My question is about my 18 month old son. I now know that when I was pregnant I had Candida, SIBO, and parasites. I'm worried I have passed these conditions on to my baby. I nursed him for 16 months and during that time I unknowingly detoxed some of the Candida. I believe the toxins got into my breastmilk, as my baby had really bad eczema during this time and has had a hard time eating solids as well. I feel awful. I'm concerned about gut issues developing as he gets older. How can I help my baby get as healthy as possible moving forward? Thank you so so much for your passion & sharing your wisdom!

Maria: Hi Dr! I have been curious about this for some time. Both my parents have received the AZ vacc, and their reactions were entirely different. My father felt absolutely normal the following days whereas my mother had severe fever, chills, headache for about 24hr. Would this be due to bio individuality or have something to do with the strength/over reactivity of their immune system, if so, is there a favourable response?

Thanid: I had the jab and l regret it. How do l detox it from my body.

Why is it that some people experience high levels of stress coupled with a low mood and slow metabolism? The answer lies within the nervous system and not just within the hormones themselves… That is the beginning of the puzzle, but in the end, you must rebalance the stress and sex hormones in order to feel a greater sense of calm and well-being… All of that can and will be done with the right Integrative Health protocol based on your unique situation… That's why on today's #CabralConcept 2078 I'd like to share with you one of our client case studies on high stress + low hormones, mood and metabolism and how we go about correcting this issue - Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought in the comments

How deeply have you thought of your goals? Meaning have you actually visualized what your life would be like if you actually do accomplish them? Is it better? Or is it worse? Doing that type of work now allows you to double down on what you really want out of life and work even harder to make it a reality… We'll be exploring this topic and much more on today's #CabralConcept 2075 as we focus on not losing sight of where you're headed in life - Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought in the comments!
