237: The Disease Delusion, D2 vs D3 Supplements, Best Alarm Clock Ever (FR) Sep 30, 2016

Show notes

I'm back with another #FridayReview and today I want to share with you a fantastic book on Functional Medicine, as well as clear up some misconceptions on a popular vitamin!

Functional Medicine focuses on more than just the symptoms you are experiencing when you suffer from a chronic health condition - It instead looks at the underlying root cause keeping you from becoming well again... Today's book talks about this healing process in more depth!

We all know vitamin D is crucial for our overall health & wellbeing, and you'll see many of your processed foods fortified with Vitamin D2, but is that really the best form for you to utilize and absorb?

And lastly, I'm doing my final recap on the most popular alarm clock that actually simulates the sun rising to wake you up - no more air raid sirens startling you out of bed!

Tune into today's #CabralConcept 237 for all the details - enjoy the show!

235: When NOT to Use Longer Intermittent Fasts (WW) Sep 28, 2016

Show notes

Intermittent fasting can be one of the most powerful ways to heal your body and achieve your ideal body weight, but it must be done correctly...

And by that I mean that you should not fast longer than your body can tolerate. Just because a little is good, does not mean "more will be better..."

In today's #Cabral Concept 235 I explore how long you should be fasting for each day and when to fast longer, if at all. I also touch on whom intermittent fasting is NOT a good idea for... Enjoy the show!

233: How Unrealistic Expectations Set You Up for Failure (MM) Sep 26, 2016

Show notes

Are unrealistic expectations holding you back from being happier & healthier?

I find too often many people believe that everyday they are supposed to feel jazzed with energy and smiling from ear to ear...

I'm here to tell you that life was never meant to be that way. Although you should not be suffering from any chronic bodily or mental health issues, minor things will pop up from day to day...

The great thing is that those days we don't feel our best help us to appreciate when we are enjoying optimal health & wellness...

Tune into today's #CabralConcept 233 for more details on how to enjoy more happy & healthy days than not!

232: Body Odor, Apple Cider Vinegar, Acne, Female Hormones, Steroid Side Effects (HouseCall) Sep 25, 2016

Show notes

We're back with a brand new Cabral HouseCall answering your questions from the past week!

Check out today's question & answer below:

(Anonymous): 1. Does your body odor directly correlate with your diet? If I cheat, I find I have bad smelling armpits/breath is this related?

(Anonymous): 2. Do you recommend apple cider vinegar in your water daily? Bad for teeth?

(Anonymous): 3. What supplements can I take to help with my acne?

Lisa: Hi, I start everyday listening to your daily podcasts. I've learned many valuable things so thank you! I am a few years into my autoimmune, adrenal fatigue, female hormone recovery and one thing I don't hear very often is what actual numbers should optimally be whether it be female hormones, thyroid, adrenal numbers. Sometimes I would like to order tests on my own but don't feel confident reading them on my own. I am 51 and still going through menopause.

Cristie: What is your take on steroids and the effects on the body?

I hope you enjoyed this week's HouseCalls and please feel free to leave your own question and I'd be happy to answer it on an upcoming show!

229: How to Choose the Right Workout for You (TT) Sep 22, 2016

Show notes

Too often we choose our workout based on what we see in magazine, whatever is most popular this month, or maybe at friend's suggestion...

The problem is that your workout can either do wonders to build up your health and transform your body, or it can slowly break you down and make you feel worse overtime...

What I'd like to do today is share with you how to find the best workout for you. This means you'll learn how your exercise routine should actually balance out your life and not push it in one direction or the other...

Tune into today's #CabralConcept 229 to discover the right workout for you!

228: Have You Been Punished by Rewards? (WW) Sep 21, 2016

Show notes

After hearing a story the other day about how a child at daycare was being given Skittles (candy) as a reward for good behavior, I knew I needed to share this with you...

When food is provided as a reward for doing "good work" or behaving in a certain way that the parent/teacher is looking for, it begins hardwire the brain in a way that looks at food now as something beyond just fuel for the body...

Food has now become linked with being "good," and "feeling good." This can set children (and adults) up with lifelong emotional and mental struggles with using food as a means to comfort themselves...

This reward system concept can actually be applied to anything and does not have to just consist of food as the reward...

Tune into today's #CabralConcept 228 as I explain the research behind this psychology, which comes from an amazing book called "Punished by Rewards." I'll also show you how to break the cycle and live a healthier life, both physically and emotionally!
