865. The Truth About Aging, Stress + Your Body’s Warning Signs with Dr. Cabral
Almost 30
Cortisol's downstream effects on hormones
He explains how chronic cortisol raises impair thyroid, lower testosterone/progesterone and worsen mood.
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.
