Do you ever notice how certain daily rituals make you feel calmer, clearer, and more centered—almost like your body is wired to respond to them?

Today's show breaks down 7 science-backed hobbies proven to lower stress hormones, boost mood, and create a greater sense of balance.

We'll cover how these activities reduce cortisol, lower adrenaline, spark creativity, and activate the brain pathways linked to calm, joy, and emotional resilience.

You'll also learn how these simple habits tap into the same relaxation response as meditation—and how choosing just one can improve your evening routine, enhance sleep, and elevate overall well-being.

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…

Whitney: Hello, wondering if you add minerals to your water from the kangen k8? If so what brands do you like and trust the most? Thoughts on the beam minerals brand? And do you have to put minerals in each glass as you dispense / drink it since you can't really make a big batch of hydrogen water to keep in the fridge without the hydrogen dissipating ? Thanks! Summer: Hi Dr. Cabral! My new functional medicine doctor suggested I start BPC 157 to help with gut healing and cellular repair. Peptides are one of the few things I've never researched. The site says they are synthetic peptides originally derived from a naturally occurring sequence found in human gastric proteins. This sounds suspect to me... Is there a natural BPC 157 you would recommend, or what brand did you use when you took BPC 157? I'm hesitant to use anything synthetic. Thanks for any insight! Anonymous: HI! So I've done a lot of work on my health and healing. Preemptive apologies to anyone who doesn't want to hear this graphic question! I cut nuts and seeds because every time I eat them, the next day my stool is basically wrapped in what looks like stringy worms. I've watched this happen over the years and took a long time for me to finally figure out a pattern. At first I thought they were actual worms. They are maybe 2-3 mm in diameter and can be interwoven through the stool or just on the outer sides. It almost looks hollow which led me to wonder if I'm seeing the worm's digestive tract or perhaps it's my intestinal lining sloughing off in one long intact piece. Either way it's shocking. Wondering if nuts are just mucus machines and highly inflammatory on my gut lining? Worms? Thanks!! Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral! I just wanted to report back with a success! So my dad had been growing what we lovingly called a "carbuncle" on his temple for years. It was dark brown, rough, raised, and steadily growing. Through the help of your wealth of information, I guessed that it was seborrheic keratosis. He was getting frustrated with its growth and did not want to get doctors involved. I had him listen to an episode about it and he started applying ACV at least twice a day and we watched it disappear over just one month! It was probably an inch or so in diameter. We are all blown away that it completely disappeared with his consistent use of ACV! Thank you so much for all your help and sharing knowledge we can all use to help ourselves at home! My dad is happy to be rid of his "carbuncle"! Summer: Hello! So I have a handful of tiny cherry angiomas scattered all over my body. I had one pop up just below my collar bone and within weeks to a month it had grown significantly. It's now just under 1/2" in diameter and sticks up about 1/4". I've been applying ACV and Tea Tree oil twice daily for a couple of months. I even tried cauterizing it with a wart freezing kit. The surface dries up every few days and comes off and it will bleed profusely if I bump it after a shower or pick at it. When I apply pressure it deflates like a balloon and I can watch it refill with blood and fluid in seconds. I'm not so sure this is a cherry angioma anymore... Does it sound like something else? What can I do? I don't want to go to a doctor, but it's become quite the nuisance. 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:

Lisa: Hello- my 15 year old daughter gets really bad menstrual cramps. She is bed ridden and usually vomiting. Her PcP recommends 800mg of ibuprofen but I know that is treating the symptom and not the root cause. How do I determine the root cause and how to I get her some relief with putting her on birth control? Thanks a million!! Gabriela: Hello! I've been an avid listener of your podcast for some time now, and have really learned a lot. I was wondering if you know about Morley Robins and his beliefs about iron/deficiency. I listened to a podcast where he was guest and he said that pregnant women don't need iron even if their hemoglobin is low. He subtly connects iron fortification with hemorrhaging. Claims that a person needs only 1mg of iron daily from our diet, mentions RES, and says copper is much more important. Says we have ten times more iron in the tissue than the blood, so bloodwork isn't enough. Also says iron fortification should not be done. What is your opinion on all this? I'm confused. Rebecca: Hi Dr Cabral, I love listening to you everyday and look forward to keeping up with your wonderful sharing of knowledge. I choose to listen to limited influential wellness experts and I value your opinions very much. I would like to know why you and others don't talk about maca as a valuable nutritional superfood. In the past I have read and listened to the value of this and am wondering why its not at the forefront anymore? Thank you very much. Rebecca Victoria: Hi dr Stephen cabral, I have a tricky question that I'm hoping you can help me with. I have been a little worried about potential asbestos exposure. It's not a lot of exposure however someone told me that one exposure can lead to asbestiosis. I live a healthy life and wondering if there are lifestyle things I can do to keep my lungs healthy so it doesn't turn into an asbestos related disease. Everywhere I look on the internet doesn't really explain this. I am going to the gp as I have been extremely worried about this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have read your book and I saw in there it says that firefighters are exposed to more pollutants including asbestos and the book can really help with detox etc. Thank you for your time. Look forward to hearing from you! Victoria Justine: I suspect there is mold behind the drywall of my 70 year old home. There was no caulk around the outdoor windows for 2 years and I started getting cognitive symptoms after moving in. My glutathione provoked urine mycotoxin test showed up positive for 3 mycotoxins but at low levels just over the limit. She said it's possible that I'm not detoxing well and my levels are actually underrepresented. She suggested I do the MyMycoLab blood IgG test next to confirm that mold is the cause of my severe MCAS. I am trying to determine if I should sell my home as I don't want to remediate. I work from home so this would be the only exposure source. Do you think this test is accurate for determining if mold is the cause of my symptoms?

What if your low energy, mood swings, gut discomfort, and "always stressed" feeling weren't separate issues at all but interconnected signs of hidden imbalances in your gut, neurotransmitters, and stress response? On today's Unsolved Health Mystery Case, I sit down with Spencer, a client who has struggled with fluctuating energy, poor stress resilience, digestive symptoms, and low mood since his teenage years. After years of feeling unlike himself, he's finally ready to uncover the underlying root causes. Together, we review his Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test and go over how mild yeast overgrowth, methylation issues, and low adrenal output can work together to drain energy, disrupt sleep, create mood imbalances, and weaken digestion, even if traditional labs appear "normal." We'll also cover the exact gut-healing, adrenal-rebalancing, and sleep-restoring protocols Spencer will use to rebuild his system from the ground up. Join me on today's Cabral Concept 3596 to discover what your own organic acids markers may be telling you and how rebalancing your gut, stress hormones, and nutrient levels can help you finally move from chronic fatigue to renewed health and vitality. Enjoy the show!

Have you ever wondered if becoming a "morning person" is actually possible, or are some people are just wired that way? On today's episode, we break down the science of circadian rhythm and why waking up with energy has far more to do with your biology, evening routine, and sleep timing than with motivation or discipline. You'll learn how to gradually shift your wake time without overwhelming your body, why certain body types naturally wake earlier than others, and the key nighttime habits that either reset your hormones, or throw them completely off. So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3594 to discover the step-by-step method to realign your body's natural rhythm and finally become a morning person, without forcing it. Enjoy the show!
