865. The Truth About Aging, Stress + Your Body’s Warning Signs with Dr. Cabral
Almost 30
Undereating, energy balance and metabolism
Cabral warns that chronic under-eating causes metabolic starvation and recommends adding carbs strategically.
What if your fatigue, anxiety, breakouts, and “burnout” weren’t just part of life—but signals your body is begging you to listen to? In this episode, Dr. Cabral reveals how symptoms are not random and why most people are treating the surface instead of the root cause.
Ahead, we unpack the powerful framework behind true healing: deficiencies vs. toxicities. From gut health to mineral imbalances to chronic stress, Dr. Cabral breaks down exactly how your body falls out of balance—and how to bring it back without extremes, trends, or overwhelm.
If you feel like you’re doing all the “right” things but still don’t feel like yourself, this episode will flip everything you thought you knew about health. This is your roadmap to more energy, clearer skin, better sleep + a body that finally works with you—not against you.
We also talk about:
- Why symptoms like brain fog, poor sleep, and bloating shouldn’t be ignored
- The truth about aging—and why it may be happening faster than it should
- Mineral deficiencies (zinc, magnesium, selenium) and their impact on hormones and skin
- How chronic stress and cortisol dysregulation are silently affecting your health
- The real root cause of many autoimmune and gut-related issues
- Why undereating and overexercising can backfire on your metabolism
