The Cabral Concept

Do you ever replay conversations, feel hurt, or take someone's tone personally? On today's show, I break down why other people's hurtful comments have often little to do with you… and everything to do with what's happening inside the other person. We'll explore the 7 key principles that help you stay grounded, protect your energy, and respond with clarity rather than emotion. If you've ever struggled with conflict, criticism, or emotional triggers, this episode offers a powerful framework to take back control. Join me on today's Cabral Concept 3573 to learn how to stop taking things personally. Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought!

The best way to help me spread our mission of true natural health is to pass on the good word, and I read and appreciate every review!

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…

Sheena: Hi Dr. C! Hope you and your team are all well. I've been a long time follower and am trying my best to incorporate all the different ways to stay healthy by following the Rain Barrel protocol. When it comes to detoxing, besides exercise and the 7-21 day detox, I dry brush, rebound and now, would like to start invest in a IF sauna. My question is, even though dry brushing and rebounding is only 5-15 mins, do I still need to do it if I get a sauna? I'm trying to save time anywhere I can. Also, regarding IF sauna, which do you prefer? The Thera360? Or Higher Dose IF Sauna Blanket? I've listened to all your podcasts that review them and they both sound great. But is there a "better" one between the two? Thanks in advance for your answer! Kirsty: Hi Stephen, I recently came across some information suggesting that resveratrol might be estrogenic. I was hoping you could clarify whether that's true. I've been taking it alongside NMN, but now I'm a bit concerned it might not be as beneficial as I initially thought. Thanks so much for all you do, I love and trust your information. Kirsty Tricia: Good morning Dr Cabral - I have a problem that I just can't see to conquer and I know if I don't I will never reach my health goals. Every night at 8pm like clockwork I want to eat. It doesn't matter what time I have dinner or what I eat for dinner. I believe it might be a habit but I can't seem to break it. I will use strong willpower for a few months start to lose weight and feel great and then my willpower gives in and I'm back to a snack at 8pm then my health start to spiral. It makes me sad that I can't win this battle. I listen to you everyday and you have helped me SO much. I just can't seem to break this vicious cycle. Do you have any advice? I go to bed early because I get up at 4:00am so I try to eat dinner at 4:30pm. Thank you! Tricia: Hi it is me again. I also do well with routine and I remember on one of your podcast you mentioned you tend to eat the same foods during the week to keep it simple. Do you mind sharing your meal plan for during the week. I need simple and routine. Also, on Monday do you still do a reset day most weeks? Thank you for taking the time to record these podcasts. Amy: I'm interested in getting the food sensitivity test for my 6 year old daughter. Is it something I can use for her (is there an age restriction)? Is it an at home urine test? 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:

Whitney: Hello! Wondering if you still think the best water set up would be the kangen k8 attached to the aquatru under the sink filter? I'm reading that the kangen relies on minerals in the water which the aquatru filters out (I know their newest filter adds some back in but not sure how much). I have the kangen k8 and both the aquatru countertop that I use now and the under the sink aquatru unopened that came free with kangen years ago. Can I install the kangen to the countertop aquatru? I rent and don't want to overcomplicate the installation if I don't have to. But I'm confused about how to start. Are there instructions to attach kangen to an aquatru of any kind? I don't want to lose the minerals that makes the kangen more effective but obvi would like to avoid the nasties in the tap water. Kellie: Hi Dr. Cabral! My husband is 42 and has really cleaned up his act over the past 5+ years. No tobacco use, exercise bike 30 mins daily, 10k steps, and clean eating. 1.5 yrs ago he went in to see a doctor with right side pain. Xray showed backed up stool. Since then he has been on stool softeners and had a colonoscopy. In July he did a 14 day detox and felt sick most of the time. The DNS made him nauseous and he was in pain but was willing to try anything. Today, he is still having right side pain under his right rib, mostly in the front but does spread to the back now. This month he had an ultrasound, endoscopy, and a HIDA scan. Colonoscopy, Ultrasound, and Endoscopy were both completely normal. His HIDA scan showed 71% fraction and minor reflux. All bloodwork shows liver is healthy. Help. David: Hi Dr.Cabral, Hope you are well! I noticed you recently launched Cell Force, an enhanced creatine product. In 2021, I recall listening to you say that you were not going to be taking creatine since it has been shown to promote hair loss, which convinced to leave it out my personal protocol despite the cognitive/cellular health benefits. I'm curious what has changed in terms of new studies, your perspective on its benefits, and anything else that informed your pivot to not only take it, but create one of your own. I know you had a challenging hair growth journey, so I doubt you would ingest something that would put that at risk without considerable due diligence. Beyond what the studies are saying, I'm interested in what you are seeing in clinical practice and in your own life. Lauren: Hi Dr. Cabral - I completed the CBO protocol last year and felt amazing. The main difference was a sense of hunger control. I no longer overindulged and I consistently woke up the same weight I went to bed. This lasted for months and I felt like I had a new relationship with food. I slipped back to where I had been and gained weight, more hunger & fluctuating bedtime weight. I took the food sensitivity test and I have a pretty long list of mild sensitivities, 3 high (legumes) so my coach suggested I do the limited cbo protocol along with an elimination diet. I'm almost 1 month into the limited CBO and I feel in control again. My question is why does the cbo protocol do this for me? I like to understand the "why" of things so that I can keep the habit. Thanks! Harriet: Hi there Hope you are well - I ordered some tests around July/August and due to a number of reasons I was able to complete the testing (Shipping took longer than expected, vacation, trip to UK for VISA renewal). I believe I have registered both test (hair mineral test and inflammation omega 3/6 test) and would to confirm I am ok to complete these tests before cutting (another!) hair sample. Thank you!

What if improving your energy, reducing inflammation, and balancing your blood sugar had less to do with what you eat, and far more to do with when you eat? On today's show, I break down research from the TRIM Study that shows that shifting your calories earlier in the day can dramatically improve metabolic health, even when total calories stay exactly the same. I'll also share with you why consolidating your meals into a 10–12 hour window supports better blood sugar regulation, enhances insulin sensitivity, improves blood pressure, and leads to better morning energy and deeper sleep. So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3569 to discover why timing your meals matters more then calories. Enjoy the show!

On today's show, we explore how chronic stress, low vagal tone, and sympathetic nervous system dominance can make everyday functions feel challenging. I will explain the crucial role of the vagus nerve and how your body's fight-or-flight response can interfere with swallowing, vocal strength, and relaxed breathing. I will also share simple ways you can restore balance and help your body function as it is meant to. Join me on today's Cabral Concept 3567 as we uncover the root causes of these symptoms and explore practical strategies to heal from the inside out. 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…

Kara: Hi Dr. Cabral, I've had trouble falling asleep lately and seem to wake up around 3 AM almost every night. I've cleaned up my diet and cut caffeine after noon, but it hasn't helped. Could this be related to cortisol or blood sugar dips during the night? Lori: Hi Dr. Cabral, I have seen 2 different conventional doctors to ask about hormone testing. Each one said that because I was more in the peri-menpause stage of life that testing my hormones would be difficult and that my hormones levels could be drastically different day to day and therefore it would be hard to provide HRT based on one test because it could be so different if you tested on a different day. I would love your thoughts on this and how the Equilife test might provide more accurate results. Erin: I get pressure headaches (maybe sinus headaches) when the weather changes. I live in WA state and in the Fall it can be nice and sunny one day and then gloomy and rainy the next. I have always felt that the change in pressure and weather has impacted my headaches. Would there be an explanation for this? Jennifer: I have a question about grounding. Does putting your feet in a body of water help with grounding? Ocean, lake, river etc…? Sami: Hi Dr. Cabral. I tried to reach out to you via Instagram because my question doesn't pertain towards a health issue, but more of an inquiry. Since I didn't hear back from you I thought I'd try here. Currently enrolled in L1 IHP and loving every second of it. I hear you repeatedly mention that women make up a majority your practice. Two brilliant woman that I've been following and learning from the last year are Dr. Stacy Sims and Dr. Mindy Pelz. The research they have done pertaining women's health is amazing. Have you ever considered doing a podcast with them? I feel as if between all 3 of you a discussion could be a tremendously helpful podcast for everyone. I (along with many other via FB group) would love to hear you guys collaborate on ideas to help women live be their best self's!

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:

Lauren: Hi Dr Cabral, I want to start by thanking you for all you do! I love listening to your podcasts and have learned so much. I had surgery 15 years ago to fix a labrum tear and within the last year I started experiencing pain again. I had a scope done and found out the suture rubbed the cartilage off my shoulder joint (this probably isn't the correct medical terminology) and now I'm experiencing bone-on-bone pain. I was told there wasn't anything I could do unless I replaced my shoulder. I'm working on fixing my gut and will then do a liver detox. Other than working on inflammation, what else can you recommend? Ann: quick question - what are your thoughts on banding internal hemroids? I recently had a colonoscopy for gut issues and in their report mentioned the hemroids i knew I had but also that they band them at their clinic. I never heard of this - I'd love to get rid of them as they are uncomfortable and messy. They say it's uninvasive and low risk but I don't always trust what the medical field has to say - just wondering what your thoughts are. Thank you for your time! :) and for all the help you give your followers. Audrey: Hi Dr Cabral, I know to get adequate morning sunlight I shouldn't be wearing glasses, but what about contacts? Am I still getting the healthy benefits of sunlight with wearing contact lenses? Thanks so much Anonymous: I was diagnosed with Barrett's Esophagus a year ago after getting an EDG through my GI doctor. He told me I'd need to be on PPIs for the rest of my life. This terrifies me...but I've tried to come off of them before and it's really uncomfortable. I generally understand how PPIs work and now acid will flood the body when you come off of them, and that it takes time but I've tried and can't make it past several weeks...what would you recommend? Bettina: Hello Dr. Cabral, I'm curious to know your thoughts on this product. Brottrunk, a trusted German product for 36 years, is made from 100% organic, freshly baked sourdough bread (spring water, whole grain bread (WHOLE RYE FLOUR, water, WHOLE WHEAT FLOUR, natural sourdough (WHOLE RYE FLOUR, water), salt, WHOLE OAT FLOUR)). The bread is sliced, soaked in spring water, and fermented for six months. This process produces lactic acid and beneficial lactic acid bacteria, creating a drink rich in enzymes, vitamin B12, minerals, and amino acids. Brottrunk supposedly supports a normal immune system and energy metabolism, and helps reduce tiredness and fatigue. It may also have cleansing, detoxifying, and antifungal effects, making it an excellent probiotic supplement for digestion.
