Yesterday we spoke about the 3 telltale signs of fatigue and today we will build off of that in order to learn how to heal… The biggest problem I see in a person’s recovery process is that they are not looking at the body as a whole interconnected system… Instead, they are trying to “treat” individual acute symptoms without regard for healing at the deeper foundational levels… (Note: This is why someone will often symptomatically improve for a short period of time before relapsing like I...

Did you know that holding excess water weight and feeling puffy has less to do with eating carbs and more to do with your hormones?

There are a lot of people talking about how inflammation is the underlying factor in many diseases in the body… And although this is completely true, we often forget what caused the inflammation in the first place… One of the inflammatory root causal issues is cortisol (your body’s stress hormone) which can cause free radical damage, dysregulate the immune system, and cause blood sugar fluctuations… That’s why on today’s #CabralConcept 1447 I’d like to share with you how to lower cortisol...

It’s not talked about often, but one of the forgotten factors of people that stay naturally lean is that they’re able to tap into fat as a fuel source while they sleep… The reason this is important is that if you stop eating a few hours before bed and then you’re in bed for 7-9 hours, you have 10-12+ hours where your glucose levels should be normalized and fat should be the primary fuel… However, in people with dysfunctional metabolisms glucose stays elevated due to cortisol, poor sleep...

Cortisol isn’t just one of your main fight or flight hormones, it’s also a major player when it comes to weight gain… The reason for this is that cortisol begins to systematically raise blood sugar under stress… Typically this would be a good thing if you needed it in an emergency, but the problem is most of our modern-day stress is more chronic than acute in nature… Tune into today’s #CabralConcept 1433 to find out exactly how cortisol directly affects belly fat weight gain – Enjoy the...

I honestly don’t believe conventional medicine wants to do anyone harm, but unfortunately, that doesn’t mean harm isn’t done… For example, in the case of low thyroid, tens of millions of people are medicated unnecessarily… Their symptoms and thyroid imbalances are crying out for help as to WHY there are imbalances in the first place… Those symptoms do not need to be medicated – They need answers as to why they’ve surfaced in the first place and what was the root cause… So on today’s...

It’s hard to believe that one hormonal imbalance in the body could cause so many symptoms… However, when it comes to Estrogen Dominance we see massive health issues pertaining to low mood, anxiety, apathy, weekend, bloating, skin issues, headaches, and infertility… The problem is that in order to correct estrogen balance you can’t simply give someone more progesterone or just take the estrogen out of the body – you need to work on the underlying root causes As to why it happened in the...

It’s time we begin to look at the extra weight we may be holding as strictly body fat – It’s simply not always the case… The added pounds can be due to water retention, toxic water weight, high cortisol levels, and much more… This type of weight gain shows up as swelling, puffiness, and an overall softer look to the face and body… On today’s #CabralConcept 1174 we will go through how to reduce the water retention and puffiness the natural way while working on the underlying root causes –...

It’s easy to believe that even when the going gets hard our body will just continue to chug right along and keep up the demand… Typically this is the case, but that doesn’t happen without some major compensation within the body (especially under chronic stress)… Without us ever realizing it there are processes that take place which will provide us with short-term energy to keep the “fight alive,” in the long-term are zapping our vitality, drive, ambition, libido, and positive attitude… ...

There’s only so many times you can “test out” new diets before the eventual frustration sets in and you begin to lose hope… I’ve seen this thousands of times and it’s unfortunate that we’ve never been told there is another way… This “other way” has to do with going below the surface and asking the question as to “why” you suffer from the symptoms you do… Tune into today’s #CabralConcept 1097 to discover 2 overlooked causes of poor health & weight gain – Enjoy the show! - - -   Show...

When looking at someone’s labs it’s important to not go overboard in any one direction… Don’t get me wrong, running Functional Medicine Lab Work beyond your annual blood work is crucial, but we can’t go by just the “numbers” alone… What’s equally important is the patient or client’s story of how they got here and what they’re suffering with now… Having said that, on today’s #CabralConcept 1090 I’ll be walking and talking you through a real clinical case study of someone suffering from low...
