The Cabral Concept

It may seem like there are people out there who were just meant to succeed… It feels like they were born with a natural talent or skill that makes it easier for them than the rest of us. But I am here to tell you that isn't true. There are no special skills or talents that other people possess that you cannot also learn. And while talent may not be a prerequisite for success there are some things that all successful people have in common that you can implement too. So on today's #CabralConcept 2439 I want to share with you the 7 ways you can succeed in life and be great at whatever it is that you are looking to achieve– Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought in the comments! - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/2439 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

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… Richard: Hello Dr. Cabral, About 9 months ago I started working with your wonderful team at Equilife to rebalance my body & get healthy again. I took the big 5 labs and worked with an Equilife health coach. She came up with a plan which I followed diligently. It consisted of the 7-day detox, CBO, CBO finisher, mold, heavy metal detox and an intestinal cleanse at 3 separate times during the plan. At the end of all that I even did the 21-day detox to help clean out any toxins that the protocols didn't catch. Unfortunately, I am still in a hypothyroid state due to Hashimotos. I understand that some people will need medication or some kind of glandular support even after rebalancing the body due to the destruction of the thyroid tissue. The problem is that I can't seem to tolerate thyroid medications or even natural glandular products. When I take these I get symptoms such as severe insomnia, heart palpitations, anxiety etc. even at the smallest of doses, Just like symptoms of being overmedicated. I've done lots of research over the years and one of the thyroid books that I have says that low cortisol can prevent the thyroid hormones from entering the cell. According to my SMM test, my cortisol results were fine. A few years ago I was on cortisol medication which enabled me to tolerate the medication but it didn't help my symptoms. The same thing happened while taking adrenal cortex. My question is if you ever had a patient that couldn't tolerate medications/glandulars & if so how would you remedy this? FYI I have been in a hypothyroid state for 30 years now. I live a very healthy lifestyle with an antioxidant rich diet, exercise & manage stress. I am planning on retaking the big 5 labs again to see if the protocols worked & if there is anything that is preventing me from getting well. I had to retype this question & shorten it once the text field prevented me from typing any more words, apparently I still have to submit 2 questions. I apologize for the length of this question as I tried to make it as short as possible without leaving out important details. I've spent all my time, energy & finances in trying to get well & I'm not sure where to go from here. I am very grateful for you & your team and thank you so much for your help! Carrie: I understand my APOe4 is 2/4. What does that mean for me? I was told I have a 50% chance of acquiring Alzheimer's. Thank you. Sandra: My almost 6yr old son has had a cut under his big toe (where toe meets foot) and sometimes it looks irritated and other times it dries out - the cut runs from end to end of his toe..at one point it was on both big toes and now only one. I have tried fully drying it out with a hair dryer during the winter, also applying teat tree oil/ointment.. but this one cut is always there. Do you have any advice on what it can be and how to heal it? Tonya: Hi there! I am pretty confident that you and your team can help my aunt get on the right track with her health but I thought I'd write in so my cousins can here it for themselves... now I am going to be very vague because I don't know many details but I do know that's ok as far as you just pointing her in the right direction... my aunt has kidney issues. She currently does dialysis 3 times a week and has been for quite some time. One time she told me she is only allowed to drink 8oz of water a day. And my dad has told me she has not urinated in years. I would love so much for her to not have to spend the rest of her life like this. Where can we start? Thank you so much for all your knowledge and care. (I plan to join IHP and have just started reading your book! ) Tara: Hi there! I love your podcast and have gotten so much out of it. Thank you for all you do. I'm currently reading your book, The Rain Barrel Effect, for the second time. It's SUCH an informative read, stuff I wish I learned earlier in life. I homeschool my three young boys and would LOVE to utilize your book in our homeschool program. It may be a bit advanced for them, but I can adjust it to their level. I was wondering if you ever thought of writing a book geared more towards our younger generation? Or do you have an recommendations of books I can incorporate into our day. Thank you so much!

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: Marilyn: In listening to your podcast about healing and sealing Leaky gut/SIBO, what is the name of the Lactobacillus strain that you suggest to start with? I can't quite understand what you said. I have been diagnosed with Leaky gut and possible SIBO but my functional doctor is wanting me to start with Probiotics and I get upper stomach pain from them. Sandra: hi Dr. Cabral, love your work and I just finished the limited yeast protocol for high candida that came up on my big 5. I reintroduced all foods except for eggs. My migraines did not stop, and I want them gone – it makes me so hopeful that you say they do have a cure. My rain barrel must have filled up back in 2008 when painful migraines and hair loss/thinning started, and both have continued since. I am just fully looking into it after finding your work. For the last 6 years the migraines are mostly only in the nerves behind the eyes (eyes are healthy, no changes over time either) and mainly around the same time as my period, lasting 2-3 days. For 2 cycles, during the protocols, the migraine came a week after my period, that was the only change. I am working with a health coach and now focusing on heavy metal detox – mercury levels at 0.132. What else should I focus on? I think they are hormonal... and wonder if hair thinning can also be tied to hormones. Emily: Hi Dr. Stephen, I really appreciate your guidance and advice. My just turned 8 year old son has been critically ill many times. He has severe brittle asthma, severe mucus plugging (has required high flow oxygen many times) and is highly allergic to many things, including being anaphylactic to antibiotics. I had a healthy pregnancy & he was born just after his due date, all natural birth & breast fed till he was over 12 months old. His siblings have no allergies or lung issues. He is currently undergoing allergy injections (2 injections every 4 weeks) for his rye grass, dust mites, moulds, and olive tree pollen allergies, we are 18months into this treatment which is set to continue for 3years. So far we have had no noticeable improvement from the injections. We have a farm in the South East of South Australia. He enjoys being active outside with his siblings and friends when he can. I am searching for help and advice. I am searching for answers as to why this is happening & what can be done to really help his lungs to strengthen & heal. I am struggling to get answers as to what is causing it all, from his specialists. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this. Kindest regards, Emily Adele: Hello I am a 65 year old female, 5'2", 104, very active (walk, light weigh lifting (3-5 pounds), cycle classes, other gym classes. I suffer from daily chronic migraines. It is debilitating many days. After trying numerous preventive drugs - I now take "Memantine"(as of 3 months ago) which is for dementia patients - it is working fairly well right now.. Side effects are dizziness, low energy, head buzzing, etc. I plan to begin HRT again soon. should I? Other options for post menapausal issues? I have had 2 annual infusions of RECLAST past 2 summers. Osteoperosis same after that. They want me to take a 3rd infusion. Other issues are: severe osteoperosis, macular degeneration, neck and back pains. Supplements: (organic?) Vitamin D3 10,000IU, Calcium, Vitamin K, Magnesium, Fish Oil, I eat a fairly healthy diet - I ordered the 21 day Detox, food sensitivity test, Complete minerals and metals test. Any other recommendations? What is too much Vitamin D? Alicja: Dr. Cabral, I need your wisdom again. I started checking my blood sugar and noticed it is always high. My glucose level first thing in the morning is always above 100 (between 105-115) I can't get it below 100, no matter how long I go without food. After eating it's between 130-180 depending what I ate. I listened to your older podcast and applied all 3 things you talked about. I eat 3 meals per day (3-4 house apart) I tried fasted jogging in the morning and I typically do intermittent fasting. glucose level is always above 100. I also noticed that if I go over 3h without food, the glucose level often rises up comparing to what was 2-3 h after meal. Do you think it's because not eating is too much stress on my body? I'm not typical candidate for diabetes. I'm tall and skinny, vata body type. I'm underweight (BMI below 16) I'm not sure if I have to give up carbs? Also does all that mean I'm insulin resistant? Or that I don't produce enough insulin? Thank you again for your help. Your big fan.

Unfortunately, a vast majority of doctors in the conventional medicine space do not feel adequately prepared to help women transition through menopause… So, it's no surprise that women would look for alternative options on how they can help ease the symptoms… The problem is that most conventionally trained MDs are simply not aware of the numerous resources that provide insight into a holistic approach to menopause and the years of science that back them up, so their doctors simply dismiss them… So on today's #CabralConcept 2434 I want to share with you the research behind the specific herbs that ease menopausal symptoms, so you can make the best decision for you – Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought in the comments! - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/2434 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

What would it mean to you if you woke up every day feeling at peace and proud of the life you are living?

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… Lisa: Hi Dr Cabral! I am starting to travel a lot for my job, and I am wondering if I should be concerned about going through the XRay machines at airport security several times a year? I am also curious if you think the check in using Clear (where they scan your retinas) are safe. I was considering signing up, but I wanted to get your thoughts first. Thanks! Ashley: Hello Dr. Cabral! I have been listening to your podcast and following your protocols since I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease called undifferentiated connective tissue disease in 2018. I am currently doing the CBO protocol after completing a 7 day detox. I feel so much better and down about 7 pounds! I am about a week and a half in to the CBO protocol. My only issue is that I am experiencing constipation, loose stools, and afternoon fatigue. Also having so muscle pain at night that feels like "growing pains". I was recently diagnosed with periampullary diverticulum of the gallbladder, and was told by my GI specialist that this might be why I have a hard time digesting seeds and nuts and probiotics would help. From personal experience I have struggled to find a decent probiotic that worked for me. I don't know much about this diagnosis. In February 2022 I did a candida test which was negative. I also did an igG 184 food panel and had lots of sensitivities which indicated leaky gut. In May 2022 I completed a SIBO test which was also negative. I'm just wondering if anyone had any experience with periampullary diverticulum of the gallbladder and if I should continue to follow the sensitive food guide as is when I know I don't have SIBO or candida overgrowths? Thank you! Amanda: Hi Dr. Cabral, I've listened to your methylation podcasts & know I have issues bc of genetic testing. The problem is, the SNPs I have showing red aren't the ones you mentioned in your podcast. I read that I should avoid methyl Bs because of having COMT/TXNRD2 A4251G TT risk alleles combined with COMT V158M AA risk alleles & COMT H62H TT risk alleles (all three are red for me) because this means I have trouble breaking down dopamine, epinephrine, norepinephrine and estrogen: "It has been clinically observed that the body may have trouble tolerating methyl donors (folate, B12, methionine, betaine, choline) with a COMT V158M + and a VDR Taq + status." Also said with lower COMT activity to avoid supplements w/ catechol structure - quercetin, EGC/G, and luteolin (which you said help methylation). My B6 is low (0.96) but B12 looks okay (1.2) and I was advised to take your Activated B complex, but I'm nervous about the methyl Bs after reading above. My brother also has low B6 and vit C and has seizures if he ever misses doses of Keppra. My question is whether you know anything about these other SNPs, if you advise supplementing with B6 only, or if I can somehow get more genetics guidance through your practice? Carol: Thank you so much for helping me with the main Dr Cabral detox and the heavy metal detox. I feel better. My question is about treating hematochromosis, where some people build up excess iron in the body, especially the liver Normal treatment is frequent blood donation. My question is, is the metal detox going to help this? How about the regular detox? Thanks Carol Alicja: Hi Dr. Cabral, I hope you are doing well. My question is about Adrenal Sooth suplement. I learned from your podcasts that the best is to take it at night, or at lunch and then again after dinner. My highest stress is always in the morning and first half a day. Is it ok to take Adrenal Sooth with breakfast? Or would that slow me down too much and made me feel a bit sluggish during the busiest time of my days. Big THANK YOU for your amazing work. Cathy: Hi Dr Cabral, I am so happy to have found you several weeks ago. I work with a wonderful Holistic Chiropractor and she is following you as well, she has me on a parasite cleanse and I did a liver cleanse beforehand in January. My question has to do with a friend who has Fragile X-Associated Tremor Ataxia Syndrome (FXTAS.) Apparently, she is a "carrier" of the gene and has an adult son with autism who has the RNA gene. I looked on your recent podcasts to research but didn't find anything. Thank you in advance for any info you might share and I look forward to working with you and your staff in the future.

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: Ryan: First off, thanks again for all that you do in providing great content, services and products to our community. I have a question in terms of tinctures. I am currently growing shiitake and lion's mane mushrooms on logs in my yard along with harvesting wild oyster and turkey tail mushrooms. After eating ample mushrooms I will have a lot extra and am thinking of making a dual extract tincture with all 4 mushroom types to take advantage of the medicinal properties. My question is if you end up with a 30% alcohol tincture and take a dropper per day does the alcohol consumed counteract the benefits of the mushrooms? Can kids consume tinctures? Thanks again. Alicja: Dear Dr. Cabral, Could you please explain the difference between Adrenal Soothe and Adrenal Energy Support (EquiLife supplements) Which circumstances would a be better fit for adrenal soothe and when adrenal energy support is better. Thank you so much. Keith: Dr. Cabral, I'm 61 years old, I've lived with Crohn's since my early teens and despite numerous doctors, psychiatrists, tests my disease went undiagnosed. I suffered through many episodes of depression, apathy, anxiety and general malaise. At 46 my disease flared and I was misdiagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis, being treated for UC for 3.5 years with multiple flare-ups, hospitalizations, prednisone cycles, etc. After a severe flare-up I ended up in the Emergency Room at the University of Chicago, by God's grace Dr. David Rubin was on call and took over my case. Two days later after multiple tests, I was told my colon was ready to rupture in 4 spots(1in each segment), 5 days later surgery to remove 98% of my large intestine. 6 months later after a sigmoidscopy, I endured a 10.5 hr. surgery due to the significant scar tissue and inflammation. I live with a permanent Ileostomy. I've been on an 11 year journey to understand and develop a lifestyle to adapt to this handicap and have yet to be exposed to a comprehensive article, podcast, etc to better understand this condition. Your podcasts have enlightened me on so many subjects and would ask if you might able to address this on one of your podcasts? Sincerely Keith Ryan: Thanks again for all that you do and hope you are having a great day. For my question, once you take the time and put in the effort to get your gut rebalanced how sensitive is it to becoming imbalanced and what can you do to help maintain? More specifically, on a week long vacation I can have a few alcoholic drinks daily, would this or could this mess things up? Is there anything that can be done during the vacation to help reduce the risk? Daily foundational protocol, healthy gut support, probiotics, immune support…? Have you heard of ZBiotics? It is a pre-alcohol probiotic that breaks down acetaldehyde, would this help? Once again I know the best answer is to abstain from daily alcoholic drinks but just wondering how to reduce the potential damage. Thanks again. Kevin: Hi, I have recently been diagnosed with sarcoidosis. Are there protocols or perhaps labs whose result(s) would provide a path beyond medications?...or is conventional medicine my only option? Thanks, Kevin Katherine: I had a thyroid storm in 1984, and my thyroid was radiated. I have been on Synthroid for 38 years. i was diagnosed with Graves in 1984. I am 60 years old. 5'3 135 pounds. I have struggled with my weight for all of these years. How do I stoke my metabolism without a T-3 or T-4 gland?
