Podcasts about Chronic

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:    Lauren: Hi Dr Cabral, I want to start by thanking you for all you do! I love listening to your podcasts and have learned so much. I had surgery 15 years ago to fix a labrum tear and within the last year I started experiencing pain again. I had a scope done and found out the suture rubbed the cartilage off my shoulder joint (this probably isn't the correct medical terminology) and now I'm experiencing bone-on-bone pain. I was told there wasn't anything I could do unless I replaced my shoulder. I'm working on fixing my gut and will then do a liver detox. Other than working on inflammation, what else can you recommend?                                                                                                                                                         Ann: quick question - what are your thoughts on banding internal hemroids? I recently had a colonoscopy for gut issues and in their report mentioned the hemroids i knew I had but also that they band them at their clinic. I never heard of this - I'd love to get rid of them as they are uncomfortable and messy. They say it's uninvasive and low risk but I don't always trust what the medical field has to say - just wondering what your thoughts are. Thank you for your time! :) and for all the help you give your followers.                                                                                                                                                            Audrey: Hi Dr Cabral, I know to get adequate morning sunlight I shouldn't be wearing glasses, but what about contacts? Am I still getting the healthy benefits of sunlight with wearing contact lenses? Thanks so much                                                   Anonymous: I was diagnosed with Barrett's Esophagus a year ago after getting an EDG through my GI doctor. He told me I'd need to be on PPIs for the rest of my life. This terrifies me...but I've tried to come off of them before and it's really uncomfortable. I generally understand how PPIs work and now acid will flood the body when you come off of them, and that it takes time but I've tried and can't make it past several weeks...what would you recommend?                                               Bettina: Hello Dr. Cabral, I'm curious to know your thoughts on this product. Brottrunk, a trusted German product for 36 years, is made from 100% organic, freshly baked sourdough bread (spring water, whole grain bread (WHOLE RYE FLOUR, water, WHOLE WHEAT FLOUR, natural sourdough (WHOLE RYE FLOUR, water), salt, WHOLE OAT FLOUR)). The bread is sliced, soaked in spring water, and fermented for six months. This process produces lactic acid and beneficial lactic acid bacteria, creating a drink rich in enzymes, vitamin B12, minerals, and amino acids. Brottrunk supposedly supports a normal immune system and energy metabolism, and helps reduce tiredness and fatigue. It may also have cleansing, detoxifying, and antifungal effects, making it an excellent probiotic supplement for digestion.         Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community's questions!    - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3564 - - - 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?

Chronic stress triggers a neutrophil invasion into brain-protective layers, driving depression-like behaviors through immune activation rather than just hormonal changes Stress-induced immune signals hijack brain reward circuits, reducing dopamine and shifting neural activity toward threat detection over pleasure-seeking behaviors Prolonged stress damages brain mitochondria, reducing cellular energy production while creating an inflammatory feedback loop that worsens mood and cognitive function Interferon pathways and inflammatory cytokines like IL-6 cross into the brain, directly altering neuron firing patterns in emotional regulation centers Natural interventions including healthy carbohydrates, regular exercise, positive thinking, creativity, and physical touch help counter stress-induced immune activation and protect mental health

This week on Comics and Chronic the boys discuss The Nice House By The Sea volume 1, the follow-up to the DC Black Label series The Nice House By The Lake by James Tynion & Art by Álvaro Martínez BuenoBut first Cody wishes he had been invited to Riyadh Comedy Festival for the money…or because he's a secret Saudi spy? Are the people in Max's house way more psychotic than the ones in Walter's house?  Is Walter's appearance l based off of James Tynion?  If Jake had the controls of this fake world would he make Anthony gay?  Is The Comedian's design based off of Cody's physical appearance?  Are the characters talking to the reader or themselves at the beginning of every issue?  Is this book a metaphor for ICE?  If you see Jake's name on the Epstein List it's A.I.  Would Jake thrive in a Nice House scenario?  And who are the 12 best clowns in history?!Check out the Kickstarter pre-launch page for Superguy issue #2 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mrtonynacho/superguy-2-my-date-with-the-presidents-daughter?ref=creator_tab⁠⁠⁠New episodes every THURSDAYFollow us on social media!

When we're in constant stress, our brains become less resilient. Chronic stress can lead to inflammation of the brain — increasing our risk of cognitive decline. Breathing exercises hold a lot of power for calming the body and brain. Host Cristina Quinn talks to Washington Post Brain Matters columnist Richard Sima, as well as neuroscientist and psychiatrist Helen Lavretsky from UCLA, about steps we can take to reduce stress and improve our brain health. Sima unpacks what inflammation does to our brains and why this can lead to more cognitive decline in the future. Lavrestsky walks us through her research on breathwork, yoga and other practices that have shown positive impacts on brain aging and cognitive health.

Grazing. Chronic stress. Poor sleep. Rushed meals. Sitting for long hours. Underfueled workouts. Estrogen decline. There's a lot more behind our fasting glucose and A1C than how many carbs we eat. This week we return to one of the most consistently requested topics: blood sugar meaning and management with Liz McKinney, CNS, LDN. We explore what glucose spikes really mean, why time-in-range and variability matter more than a single peak, and how stress, sleep, and even eating speed affect your numbers. We cover carb timing, meal sequencing, post-meal walks, creatine, why under-fueling can make exercise spikes worse, and much more so you can keep glucose working for your performance and overall health.Liz McKinney, CNS, LDN, heads up the clinical nutrition team at Nutrisense. Liz holds a Master of Science degree in Clinical Nutrition and Integrative Health and is a board-certified nutrition specialist (CNS) as well as a licensed dietitian nutritionist (LDN). In her time as a nutritionist, Liz has educated and counseled hundreds of clients in areas such as weight loss, hormonal imbalances, and gastrointestinal diseases. Her approach is rooted in the tenets of functional medicine, and she strives to identify the root cause of the issue instead of simply treating the symptoms. She realizes there is no one-size-fits-all approach to achieving optimal health and feels it is crucial to be in an equal partnership with her clients.

La inflamación silenciosa o de bajo grado es uno de los procesos más estudiados de los últimos años, y se ha convertido en la base común de muchas patologías modernas: desde la resistencia a la insulina, el hígado graso o las enfermedades cardiovasculares, hasta trastornos del ánimo, alteraciones digestivas o incluso ciertos tipos de cáncer. En este episodio te explico qué es exactamente esta inflamación crónica, qué la causa y por qué puede pasar desapercibida durante años. Hablaremos del papel del estrés, el sueño, la microbiota, la alimentación y el sedentarismo, y de cómo pequeños cambios en tu estilo de vida pueden reducir los marcadores inflamatorios y mejorar tu salud a largo plazo. Una guía completa para entender qué significa realmente “comer y vivir de forma antiinflamatoria” y por qué este enfoque puede marcar la diferencia entre tener energía o arrastrar cansancio constante, entre salud y enfermedad.

What is Carcinosinum? Carcinosinum is a powerful homeopathic nosode prepared from diseased tissue. It is not used to "treat cancer"; instead, it's prescribed when a person's symptom picture matches the remedy. Because it is deep-acting, potency and frequency must be chosen with care—ideally by a qualified practitioner—and it's obtained from a homeopathic pharmacy, not general retail sites. When practitioners consider it Maha explains she usually begins with a constitutional remedy. She thinks about Carcinosinum when: There's an obstacle to cure—the main remedy helps but doesn't fully resolve things. The case shows mixed, seemingly unconnected symptoms (e.g., allergies, skin, digestion, and emotional issues together). There's deep emotional trauma, often dating back to childhood. The person is perfectionistic, highly concerned about appearance and others' approval, with a fear of rejection. Case example: Eczema and self-image An 18-year-old had severe itchy eczema in the elbow bends and intense anxiety about how friends would perceive her skin. A constitutional remedy (Lycopodium) improved digestion and reduced itch, but flare-ups persisted. Because the emotional themes (appearance, approval, past hurts) matched Carcinosinum, Maha prescribed it as an intercurrent remedy. Within weeks, the teen's mother reported dramatic improvement—no more covering up with long sleeves and a big lift in mood and confidence. Case example: Multiple allergies and low vitality A 50-year-old with depression, menopausal stress, chronic pain, multiple allergies, and a childhood history of a heavily alcoholic parent improved in vitality first after Carcinosinum—then anxiety, digestion, and allergies softened. Maha notes that improvement in energy often comes before symptom change; follow-ups guide whether to continue, pause, or choose another remedy to remove remaining "layers." How it fits in practice Chronic cases are often layered. One remedy rarely does everything; detox or additional remedies may be used sequentially. Carcinosinum can act as a helper or intercurrent to open a case when the constitutional remedy stalls. Crucially, homeopathic prescribing is symptom-led, not diagnosis-led: two people with "eczema" may need entirely different remedies. (Here's our single usage: homoeopathy looks at the person's full picture—sensations, modalities, triggers, and emotions.) Safety and dosing More is not better. The wrong potency, frequency, or an unnecessary repeat dose can aggravate symptoms. That's why Carcinosinum should be selected and monitored by a professional.

In this important older episode of the Ancient Health Podcast, Dr. Motley discusses the relationship between a dry cough and kidney health. He explains how the kidneys and lungs are connected, and how chronic stress, fear and grief can impact kidney function and lead to a persistent cough. Show Notes + Links ⬇️ Takeaways: A chronic dry cough can be an indication of kidney fatigue and imbalance. The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone pathway and ACE enzymes play a role in regulating blood pressure and can contribute to coughing. Chronic stress and emotions such as fear and grief can impact kidney function and lead to a persistent cough.

Tonight on The ‘X' Zone… What if the pain, fatigue, or illness that medical science can't explain isn't in your body — but in your mind? Our guest, Dr. Dave Clarke, believes that many chronic symptoms are actually messages from the subconscious — the body's way of expressing what words cannot. Dr. Clarke, author and founder of Symptomatic.me, has dedicated his career to uncovering the hidden connections between emotional trauma, stress, and physical illness. Join us as we explore the mysterious intersection between mind, medicine, and emotion — and ask the question: Could healing the heart be the key to curing the body? This is The ‘X' Zone Radio Show, and I'm your host, Rob McConnell — somewhere between the known and the unknown, between science and superstition.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.

 Fertility Docs Uncensored is hosted by Dr. Carrie Bedient from the Fertility Center of Las Vegas, Dr. Susan Hudson from Texas Fertility Center, and Dr. Abby Eblen from Nashville Fertility Center. In this listener question episode, the Fertility Docs take on some of the most common and complex questions about endometriosis and fertility treatment options. Patients often wonder whether to pursue testing like the ReceptivaDx assay, when to consider IVF over other treatments, and how many IUI cycles to try before taking a more aggressive approach. The docs discuss how the right path depends on factors such as the severity of disease, the presence of endometriomas or deep implants, and each patient's family-building goals. They also talk about surgery for endometriosis—when it can help, and when it might cause more harm than good. While surgery may relieve pain, it can sometimes reduce ovarian reserve by damaging nearby eggs. For patients whose main goal is conception, moving toward IVF may be the best option. Chronic pain, however, can often be managed with medications like Depo-Lupron. Ultimately, the Fertility Docs emphasize that for those with endometriosis who want children, timing and strategy are everything. Acting sooner rather than later can improve the chances of success and make room for definitive treatment later on. This podcast was sponsored by US Fertility.

What do you do when life or your body keeps throwing setbacks your way? When pain, injury, or frustration make it feel like you're right back at square one? In this heartfelt and empowering conversation, I and Lorna tackle a listener's question about dealing with chronic back pain and the feeling of discouragement that comes when progress keeps getting interrupted. We explore what to do when your circumstances feel completely out of your control, and how to shift from frustration and hopelessness to curiosity, choice, and empowerment - one small mindset change at a time. You'll Learn: How to stop spiraling into discouragement when things don't go your way The crucial difference between your circumstance and your response How your thoughts directly shape your emotions, and your healing Practical mindset tools for regaining a sense of control, even when pain persists The power of asking: “What about this can I control?” How hypnotherapy can help you reframe and even reduce the perception of pain Key Quotes: “You can't always control your circumstances, but you can always control how you react.” “Your subconscious mind is always listening. What thoughts are you planting?” “You only have to get up one more time than you fall down.” “The goal isn't to get rid of pain, it's to learn how to live and move with it.” Resources Mentioned:

In this insightful conversation, endocrinologist Dr Rocio Salas-Whalen joins Bahar to demystify the science and emotional journey behind GLP-1 medications. They explore how these drugs—originally developed for diabetes—have become a cornerstone of modern metabolic and hormonal health. From microdosing pitfalls to the importance of muscle preservation, protein intake, and hydration, Dr Salas-Whalen explains why these medications can be transformative when used responsibly under medical supervision. The discussion also touches on the psychological side of weight loss, the future of obesity treatment, and how GLP-1 might even influence brain health and addiction recovery. Dr Salas-Whalen’s new book Weightless offers practical guidance for women navigating midlife metabolism with compassion and science. Key Takeaways GLP-1 medications were discovered in 2005 and have redefined metabolic health. Chronic inflammation is a central issue in obesity and ageing. Microdosing doesn’t work—therapeutic dosing under expert care is essential. Muscle mass is the engine of metabolism and longevity. 100–110 grams of protein per day supports muscle, bone, and skin health. Hydration is often neglected but vital. GLP-1 may support addiction recovery and emotional stability. Sustainable change requires both science and emotional awareness.

Here's a question for you, about us: Are we chronic pessimists? Just when will it be a good time to buy a large household item? The ANZ Consumer Confidence figures came out Friday, and we have sunk again. Unlike business, which went up eight points while punters went down another two points. What about household items, like a fridge? We haven't felt good about that for any month in four long years. 48 months. Month after month we think it's not a good time to be sticking a bit of Samsung or Sub-Zero or Miele in your house. Yet how can business feel half-decent given the people they deal with are miserable? And how is it, as the bank pointed out, that the stats don't actually align with our mood? Spending is up – no, not by a lot, because this isn't a gold rush. But spending is up and the job ads are up. There are more jobs being advertised. My bet is when the unemployment stats arrive this week at 5.2% or 5.3% that will be it. It will get no worse. The layoffs are over. There are genuine, tangible, indisputable signs in the economy that things have turned. Call them whatever you want, flickers or green shoots or better days, but they are there. Like all economies, the tide doesn't rise and bring everyone with it. But it has to bring some, and some must be feeling better, or good, or (God forbid) upbeat. Is there a determination among some that we will simply not be happy? We refuse to accept the light at the end of that tunnel. Where once a trip to the seaside and an ice cream on a sunny day lifted the spirit, now we want the whole circus and a merch bag as well before we dare utter anything remotely upbeat. I have no doubt the tide has turned. I see too many data points, stats, and results to feel any other way. But New Zealand has caught a disease. You see it in Britain (they have it bad) and also Australia (but a bit less). There's a refusal to accept good news the way we used to. Where once the possibility was enough to lift a spirit, now you need a tsunami to bowl you over. The early bird, as always, will catch the worm on this. By the time we hit February or March of 2026 and a lot of people join the bandwagon, the early adopters will have been having a good time for months. It's only negative if it's actually factually negative. Being determined to be that way is a state of mind, not a reality. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Episode Summary: Have you ever found yourself saying yes when you really wanted to say no? Or have you ever felt overwhelmed and exhausted because you were trying to meet everyone else’s expectations? If so, you are not alone. In recognition of National Stress Awareness Day, today, we’re going to explore how to move from overwhelmed to overjoyed by learning to say no without feeling guilty. We’ll dive into Scripture, explore research on overcommitment, and I’ll share five practical ways to set God-honoring boundaries. Quotables from the episode: Many of us, especially as women, have been taught that saying yes is the godly thing to do. We associate busyness with productivity, and productivity with worth. But the truth is, constantly saying yes can leave us drained, distracted, and distant from God’s best for us. For many years, I said “Yes” every time something was asked of me because I believed it was the godly response. Until God impressed upon my heart that he never told me to do that much, and had I sought him for wisdom, He would have readily guided my path! That was totally on me, but God was so gentle in getting my attention. Psychologists have long studied the effects of people-pleasing and overcommitment. Research from the American Psychological Association shows that chronic overcommitment leads to stress, anxiety, and even depression. Emotionally, people-pleasers often struggle with self-worth, believing their value is tied to what they do for others rather than who they are in Christ. Chronic Overcommitment and Overwhelm Chronic overcommitment and overwhelm can take a serious toll on physical health, leading to conditions such as: Adrenal Fatigue & Hormonal Imbalance – Constant stress can dysregulate cortisol levels, leading to exhaustion, brain fog, and difficulty managing emotions. Cardiovascular Issues – Chronic stress increases blood pressure, heart rate, and inflammation, raising the risk of heart disease, hypertension, and stroke. Weakened Immune System – Prolonged stress suppresses immune function, making the body more susceptible to infections and slower to heal. Gastrointestinal Problems – Overwhelm can contribute to acid reflux, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), ulcers, and digestive issues. Chronic Pain & Inflammation – Stress triggers inflammation, which can exacerbate conditions like fibromyalgia, arthritis, and migraines. Sleep Disorders – Overcommitment often leads to insomnia, poor sleep quality, and chronic fatigue. Weight Gain or Loss – Stress-related eating patterns can lead to unhealthy weight fluctuations, metabolic dysfunction, and insulin resistance. Muscle Tension & Headaches – Persistent stress can cause tight muscles, tension headaches, and even TMJ (jaw pain from clenching). Burnout & Mental Fog – Long-term overwhelm can impair cognitive function, reducing focus, memory, and decision-making ability. Autoimmune Disorders – Chronic stress has been linked to the development or worsening of autoimmune diseases such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and multiple sclerosis. Managing stress through rest, boundaries, and self-care isn’t just about mental well-being; it’s essential for physical health. Jesus himself set boundaries. In Luke 5:16, we read, “But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.” He didn’t heal every person or meet every need. He sought the Father’s will first. If Jesus set boundaries, then we should, too. Addressing the spiritual and scientific aspects of restoration To counteract the physical effects of chronic overcommitment and overwhelm, we must address both the spiritual and scientific aspects of restoration. Here’s how: Prioritizing Rest & Sabbath (Biblical & Scientific) Biblical Insight: God modeled rest in Genesis 2:2-3, and Jesus regularly withdrew to quiet places (Mark 6:31). Sabbath isn’t just a suggestion; it’s a command for our well-being (Exodus 20:8-10). Science: Rest lowers cortisol, improves immune function, and enhances brain health. Sleep is crucial for memory consolidation and physical repair. Application: Schedule intentional rest. Guard your Sabbath. Ensure 7-9 hours of sleep. Setting Boundaries to Prevent Overcommitment Biblical Insight: Even Jesus set boundaries—He didn’t heal everyone at once and took time alone with the Father (Luke 5:16). Proverbs 4:23 reminds us to guard our hearts, which includes protecting our time and energy. Science: Chronic stress leads to burnout, weakened immunity, and heart disease. Learning to say “no” prevents emotional and physical depletion. Application: Use discernment in commitments. Before saying “yes,” ask: Does this align with God’s will? Is this sustainable? Engaging in Mind-Body Renewal Biblical Insight: Romans 12:2 encourages us to renew our minds. Philippians 4:8 tells us to focus on what is pure and lovely. Science: Practices like deep breathing, exercise, and gratitude shift the brain out of stress mode, improving mental clarity and resilience. Application: Try breath prayers (e.g., inhale “Be still,” exhale “and know that I am God”; inhale “I trust you, God,” exhale “in all things.”). Move daily to reduce inflammation and boost mood. Nourishing the Body & Mind Biblical Insight: Daniel chose healthy foods and was stronger than those indulging in excess (Daniel 1:12-15). Our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). Science: Whole foods reduce inflammation, regulate blood sugar, and protect against stress-related illnesses. Application: Eat nutrient-dense foods, stay hydrated, and avoid excess caffeine or sugar that heightens stress responses. Seeking Community & Support Biblical Insight: Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 teaches that two are better than one. We weren’t designed to carry burdens alone (Galatians 6:2). Science: Social connection lowers stress hormones, strengthens immunity, and increases resilience. Application: Surround yourself with godly counsel. Delegate. Accept help. Community is part of God’s design for our well-being. Releasing Control & Trusting God Biblical Insight: Jesus said, “Come to me, all who are weary… and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28). Trusting God’s sovereignty brings peace (Isaiah 26:3). Science: Chronic stress stems from feeling out of control. Releasing worries to God reduces anxiety, lowers blood pressure, and improves mental health. Application: Regularly surrender your burdens to God. Journal prayers. Meditate on Scriptures about His faithfulness. By aligning our lives with God’s rhythms and applying scientific wisdom, we can reduce overwhelm and prevent burnout and experience lasting peace. Practical Tips for How to Set Healthy, God-Honoring Boundaries Recognize that “No” is a Complete Sentence You don’t need to over-explain or justify your decision. Jesus simply said “yes” or “no” (Matthew 5:37). When we recognize that saying no is a way to honor God’s best for us, we can do so with confidence. Pray Before You Commit Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. ”Before saying yes to anything, take a moment to pray and ask, Is this God’s best for me in this season? Set Priorities Based on God’s Calling Ephesians 2:10 tells us that we are created for good works that God prepared in advance for us. This means that we are not called to do everything—only what He has specifically prepared for us. Identify what God is calling you to do in this season and let that guide your commitments. Understand That Saying No Opens the Door for God’s Yes When we fill our schedules with obligations, we leave no room for the divine appointments God has for us. Saying no creates margin for God’s greater yes. Isaiah 30:21 says, “Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, ‘This is the way; walk in it.’” Practice Saying No with Grace and Love You can say no in a way that honors both God and the other person. Here are a few ways: “Thank you for thinking of me, but I can’t commit to that right now.” “I appreciate the opportunity, but I need to focus on what God has called me to in this season.” “I’d love to help another time, but my plate is full right now.” Encouraging Scripture to Empower You: Learning to say no without feeling guilty Galatians 1:10 – “Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.” Matthew 11:28-30 – Jesus calls us to rest in Him, not to take on every burden. Psalm 46:10 – “Be still, and know that I am God.” Sometimes, God’s best for us is rest. Ecclesiastes 3:1 – “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.” We must discern what is right for this season. Colossians 3:23 – “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.” Our commitments should be done with joy and purpose, not guilt. Scripture References: Luke 5:16 “But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.” Galatians 1:10 “Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.” Matthew 11:28-30 Jesus calls us to rest in Him, not to take on every burden. Psalm 46:10 “Be still, and know that I am God.” Sometimes, God’s best for us is rest. Ecclesiastes 3:1 “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.” We must discern what is right for this season. Colossians 3:23 “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.” Our commitments should be done with joy and purpose, not guilt. Saying no is not a rejection of others—it is a way of saying yes to what God has planned for you. You don’t have to live overwhelmed and exhausted. You can move from overcommitted to overjoyed by setting God-honoring boundaries. I encourage you this week to pray over your commitments. Ask God to show you where you need to say no so you can say yes to His best. If today’s episode resonated with you, share it with a friend who needs encouragement in this area.

Are you struggling with anxiety, sleeplessness, and low libido in perimenopause—even after starting hormone therapy? You're doing everything right, but still feel wired, exhausted, and disconnected from pleasure. The missing piece might surprise you: it's your nervous system.In this episode of Pleasure in the Pause, host Gabriela Espinosa reveals why balancing hormones alone isn't enough. Groundbreaking research from UC San Francisco shows that your nervous system is literally woven into your ovaries, directly influencing how you age, how you experience menopause symptoms, and how much pleasure you can access in your body. If you've felt like your body is betraying you in midlife, this conversation will change how you understand stress, hormones, and intimacy forever.Are you ready to awaken your sensuality and feel more empowered in your body? Access the FREE Pleasure Upgrade Bundle at https://www.pleasureinthepause.com/gift.Highlights from our discussion include:Your nervous system and hormones are in constant conversation. Declining estrogen makes your nervous system more reactive to stress, which is why you suddenly feel more anxious and on edge in perimenopause—it's biology, not "in your head."New research reveals your stress response is wired into your ovaries. Scientists at UC San Francisco discovered that sympathetic nerves (fight-or-flight) form dense networks in your ovaries and directly influence how they age. Chronic stress doesn't just affect your mood—it affects your ovarian health and longevity.Pleasure requires nervous system safety. When you're stuck in fight, flight, or freeze, your body can't access pleasure or intimacy. You need to feel safe in your body first before you can experience arousal, desire, and deep connection.You need both calm AND charge. The goal isn't to always be relaxed—you need sympathetic energy for desire and aliveness, and parasympathetic energy for rest and connection. True nervous system health is flexibility: moving fluidly between states.Simple practices make a profound difference. Grounding exercises like feeling your feet on the floor, humming to stimulate your vagus nerve, taking micro-pauses throughout the day, and naming your nervous system state can help you shift from survival mode to safety and pleasure.Your nervous system isn't something to fix or control—it's something to befriend and partner with. It's your body's way of speaking to you, telling you when you need rest, movement, connection, or pleasure. This week, practice one simple tool: when you feel overwhelmed, pause and feel your feet on the ground. Notice the contact. Take three deep breaths. This small act tells your nervous system you're safe—and that's where healing and pleasure begin.CONNECT WITH GABRIELLA ESPINOSA:InstagramLinkedInWork with Gabriella! Go to https://www.gabriellaespinosa.com/ to book a call.Full episodes on YouTube.

Have you noticed your teen spending more time online but seeming more withdrawn in real life?Are you wondering if what your teen is experiencing is normal teenage behavior—or signs of something deeper, like loneliness? In this powerful episode, we dive into The Loneliness Epidemic in Teens. Research shows that about half of adolescents today report feeling lonely—and many experience this at least once a week. Our guest, Lucy Rose, founder and leader of The Cost of Loneliness Project, shares eye-opening insights on what chronic loneliness looks like, how it differs from normal teenage growing pains, and why it has skyrocketed since COVID. Together, we explore practical ways moms can recognize signs of loneliness, start compassionate conversations, and help their teens rebuild real-life connections in an age dominated by screens. Guest Bio: Lucy Rose is the founder and leader of The Cost of Loneliness Project. A global relationship builder and award-winning expert in pharmaceutical health strategy, regulatory affairs, and communications, Lucy is committed to raising awareness about the personal, societal, and economic costs of loneliness. Through her work, she helps individuals, families, and communities create a culture of connectedness that fosters healthier, longer, and happier lives. Three Takeaways: Loneliness is not just sadness—it's a lack of connection. Chronic loneliness impacts physical and emotional health, and it's on the rise among teens. Connection is a muscle. Teens who spend most of their social time online may forget how to initiate or maintain real-life friendships—but those skills can be relearned. Model connection at home. Create small family rituals, put down the screens during meals, and show your teen that relationships take intention, empathy, and time.

Chronic stress and burnout are epidemic among entrepreneurs and high-achievers. In 2025, prioritizing nervous system regulation isn't just wellness - it's essential for sustainable business success and mental health. After experiencing the physical toll of chronic stress and high cortisol, I'm sharing my journey to healing and the practical steps that are transforming my health. I've made it my mission to regulate my nervous system. I want to feel better. I took the first step in this mission by scheduling an appointment with a naturopathic doctor. She did a deep dive into my bloodwork and, sure enough, red flags were everywhere. She asked me if I felt tired. My answer was yes, but I still continue to get everything done. Even thinking that makes me sad. It meant that I would make sure all the work and everyone else was taken care of before myself. I've operated like that for so long that it's going to take more than just a couple of months of intention to change. But that's okay, I'm committed to it. In this episode, I'm sharing my current journey to a regulated nervous system, why our nervous systems matter and some of the habits I've built to become more regulated. If you struggle with excess stress, high cortisol and unwanted anxiety, I hope my story encourages you to regulate your nervous system as well!   Nervous system regulation techniques you'll learn: Warning signs of chronic stress and nervous system dysregulation Why entrepreneurs are at higher risk for burnout and anxiety Practical breathing exercises for immediate stress relief How nature therapy reduces cortisol and improves mood Building sustainable self-care habits for long-term health The connection between physical health and business performance   High-achieving women and entrepreneurs often sacrifice their health for productivity. This episode bridges the gap between wellness and business success, showing how nervous system regulation actually enhances performance while preventing burnout. If you're tired but keep pushing through, prioritize everyone else before yourself, or feel like you're running on empty - this episode is your permission slip to prioritize your nervous system.   Here's a glance at this episode: [02:00] Health Wake-Up Call: Raya shares that things got so bad with her health that she ended up seeking out help from multiple professionals. [05:12] The Body's Warning System: If we do not take it upon ourselves to proactively regulate our nervous systems, our bodies will take over and force us. [05:52] Nervous System Basics: Your nervous system is the “command center” of your body. It does a lot to regulate your organs and emotions. [12:50] Breathwork for Stress Relief: Breathing exercises can be a great way to regulate the nervous system. Raya shares a few different examples of exercises to take on. [15:45] Nature Therapy Benefits: Raya has made it a point to always start her day in nature.

Sign up for the FREE Live Webinar: Get Off the ‘Hot Girl' Hamster Wheel You've done all the ‘right' things: invested in quality skincare, followed the routines, even cleaned up your diet, yet your skin still doesn't look as vibrant as it used to. What if the culprit isn't just age, but inflammaging? In this week's episode, Dr. Mary Alice Mina sits down with Dr. Orie Achonwa, a physician and wellness expert, to break down the science and soul of inflammation, aging, and the modern lifestyle that's accelerating both. Together, they explore how chronic stress, sleep deprivation, processed foods, and our ‘always-on' digital lives silently inflame the body, and how this shows up on your skin. Dr. Orie blends her background in holistic health and dermatology to reveal how small, intentional changes can restore balance, vitality, and radiance from the inside out. Key Takeaways: ✓ Inflammaging is real: Chronic, low-grade inflammation accelerates visible signs of aging like fine lines, dullness, and loss of elasticity. ✓ Your skin is an organ of reflection, not just protection. It mirrors your stress, sleep, diet, and emotional well-being. ✓ Sleep is skincare. When cortisol stays high, your barrier weakens and hydration drops, leading to faster aging. ✓ Balanced blood sugar = better collagen. Spikes in glucose cause glycation, which stiffens and weakens skin proteins. ✓ Think beyond “anti-aging.” The goal is to nourish your body with protein, vitamin C, and colorful, whole foods. ✓ You don't need expensive supplements or extreme routines. Small, consistent lifestyle shifts calm inflammation from the inside out. Tune in to hear Dr. Mary Alice Mina and Dr. Orie Achonwa discuss the hidden link between inflammation and aging, and how you can nurture your skin through balance, rest, and nourishment! Dr. Orie Achonwa is a dermatology research-scientist, award-winning skincare formulator, and has been a wellness coach to corporate elite, entertainers, and a diplomat for over a decade.  Named a Healthcare Innovator by UnitedHealthcare and Female Founder to Watch by Thrive Global, she's presented her original research on anti-inflammatory modalities for improving the skin barrier at national conferences including the Integrative Dermatology Symposium and Florida Academy of Dermatology.  She's the founder of PhytoRadiance™ and creator of Radiance Protocol™ — a science-driven, lifestyle-based system that helps people address the root causes of skin aging through nervous system regulation, gut health, and hormonal balance.

Fellow writer and mother of adult children, Michele Morin, talks about modeling who God is for our children as our greatest legacy. Mother of four grown boys-now-men with families of their own, I love how Michele trusts God for each new season of her life, even a season with a chronic illness included. You will be blessed with tons of practical wisdom today as we talk about how we deal with unanswered prayers and questions and try not to catastrophize every little thought that comes into our brains.  Some gems from our convo: We make the mistake of defining God's goodness by how he answers our prayers—or not. I used to have to "send myself to my room" for a time-out so I could do some much-needed attitude adjustment.  I had to learn that making a good life for a family I loved was exactly where and what God wanted me to do and be. Never forget that we are modeling for our kids what God is like. Only a free person has the privilege of rest. Chronic disease helps me stay present to today's work rather than projecting and catastrophizing what may lay ahead. We tend to put our hope in our prayers instead of God himself which can make what we pray for an idol. To lean into God's goodness on a daily basis helps to keep our walk with God fresh and not rote.   Michele is the author of over 8 YouVersion Bible Reading devotionals which you can find HERE. She's a regular contributor at DesiringGod.com. Because “the way we live our days will be, after all, the way we live our lives,” you are invited to peruse Michele's writing on her website here at your leisure. michelemorin.net Michele Morin is a reader, writer, speaker, and gardener who does life with her family on a country hill in Maine. She has been married to an unreasonably patient husband for thirty years, and together they have four sons, four daughters-in-love, and five adorable grandchildren.  Active in educational ministries with her local church, Michele delights in sitting at a table surrounded by women with open Bibles. She loves hot tea and well-crafted sentences, poems that stop her in her tracks, and days at the ocean with the whole family.  She laments biblical illiteracy and advocates for the prudent use of “little minutes.”

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…   Scott: Hello Dr. Cabral! I've been dealing with persistent brain fog and low motivation, especially in the mornings. I sleep 7–8 hours but still wake up groggy. What tests or protocols do you recommend to pinpoint the root causes and improve mental clarity naturally?                                                                                                                                                             Nela: Hi Dr. Cabral, I recently came across information on a treatment called Inuspheresis, which is described as a blood purification technology that filters out inflammatory proteins, environmental toxins and other harmful molecules. The materials I reviewed suggest it may benefit a wide range of conditions, including: - Chronic inflammatory disorders - Autoimmune diseases - Degenerative conditions Since I haven't heard you mention this treatment on your podcasts, I wanted to ask: 1. What is your opinion on the efficacy of Inuspheresis for the conditions listed 2. What do you see as the potential pros and cons of this therapy? I'd really value your knowledge and perspective! Thank you :)                                 John: Good day Dr. Cabral, I've been experimenting with cold exposure (ice baths, cold showers) to improve recovery and immunity. I've noticed a boost in energy but sometimes feel overly stimulated afterwards. How do you recommend people safely use cold exposure for health benefits without stressing the body?                                                                Jenna: Hi Dr. Cabral- I have a question about my 8 year old son. He has struggled with emotional regulation, big emotions, anxiety for a while. School was a struggle for him, he doesn't like to be away from me and he has anxiety about school work. We had him tested for ADHD, anxiety, Autism etc.. and they said he mostly just had anxiety. I don't want to give him medication but someone suggested methylfolate. I have started giving him this and it was REALLY helped! I was wondering if you could dive into why this worked and if you think it was a good idea. Thanks!                                                         Fatima: Hi Dr. Cabral! I've struggled with seasonal depression for years and usually need extra support during the fall and winter. Besides vitamin D, are there other nutrients, lab tests, or lifestyle changes you recommend for balancing mood with the seasons?     Thank you for tuning into this weekend's Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3551 - - - 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?

The Human Equation with Joe Pangaro – Our decisions are rarely made in a vacuum of logic. Emotions color our perceptions, influence our relationships, and even affect our physical health. Chronic anger, for instance, can lead to high blood pressure, anxiety, and depression. Grief can immobilize us. Shame can isolate us. But emotions also have the power to uplift. Love fosters connection...

Mold produces mycotoxins that get into your cells, tissues, organs and glands. It manifests first in walls after a water leak and then becomes airborne and you breathe the mold spores in. Once you're exposed, it causes a whole host of health and autoimmune issues.  Symptoms I've had (but not limited to)   *Note that these symptoms don't hit all at once and progressively get intensified the longer you're exposed. This is important to mention that just because you don't (yet) have intense symptoms, doesn't mean that it won't happen* -Chronic fatigue -Thyroid issues/swollen throat -Lack of drive and motivation -Brain fog (memory issues) -Poor sleep -Dizziness (Tommy got vertigo often and nose bleeds) -Histamine issues -Sinus issues, yellow/green snot (like you should only get with a cold) -Constant sneezing -Head and sinus pressure -Inflammation throughout whole body -Headaches (sharp pings) -Metallic taste in mouth Get your home checked!

Why do so many high achievers secretly struggle with anxiety, burnout, and overwhelm? Dr. Elizabeth Stanley, Army veteran, Georgetown professor, and author of Widen the Window, joins Michael Hyatt to explain the hidden science behind stress and resilience. Drawing on her personal story of trauma, her background in the military, and her training in somatic therapy, Elizabeth reveals why talk therapy alone often falls short—and how body-based practices can change everything. This conversation is honest, practical, and deeply hopeful for anyone who feels stuck in patterns of stress.Memorable Quotes“We're all in it together and we're all experiencing the particular lawful ways that this human mind and body works in this particular poly-crisis world. Of course, people are struggling. It's kind of why it's my passion to help people understand ‘You're not alone in this.'”“We are wired organically to be able to mobilize the energy to manage a crisis or a stressful situation, and then recover. Our ancestors that shared the same wiring that we have did not have 24/7 constant activation and constant demands the way that we do in modern life today.”“The science term there is allostatic load, and the more our stress load grows, the less capacity we have in our mind and body to meet the next challenge, so that it becomes a bit of a vicious cycle, and we know that we're on the edge of our window or outside of our window of tolerance.”“We are built so that we learn the downregulation through the soothing we receive from our parents and other early caregivers. And that presumes that our early caregivers and parents were regulated enough to do that for us.”“If we're redirecting it somewhere that the survival brain perceives as safe, that actually starts conditioning. A process that makes the system move back in the way that we're organically built, which is to go through stress and recover naturally.”“When we don't perceive agency, when we feel powerless or helpless, that actually leads to higher levels of arousal and it really resolidifies the prior conditioning. So being able to access that choice point is really critical in beginning to shift it.”“If our parents had narrowed windows, if they were coping with a lot of stress and trauma, or if they were absent, if they had mental illness or they were incarcerated, they aren't able to help us wire those things. It's one of the ways that narrowed windows get transmitted intergenerationally and why trauma can become intergenerational.”Key TakeawaysYou're Not Broken. Chronic anxiety and overwhelm are signs of dysregulation, not defects. They're the evidence of what you've walked through—but don't determine what's ahead.Your Body Knows the Way. Healing starts by listening to the signals of your nervous system. The key is not to minimize our reactions, but to listen and practice strategies that help us return to baseline.Talk Therapy Isn't Enough. True healing requires engaging the body and nervous system. Trauma-informed, body-based therapy can lead to breakthroughs when just thinking and talking isn't enough.Agency Is Key. Learning to notice choice points rewires the brain toward safety. The quickest way out of powerlessness is regaining a sense of agency.Resilience Can Be Trained. Simple, repeated practices expand your “window of tolerance.” It takes time and intention, but you can widen your window.ResourcesWiden the Window by Elizabeth StanleyElizabeth Stanley's Mindfulness-Based Mind Fitness Training (MMFT)Watch on Youtube at:  https://youtu.be/Z607BPgbxi4This episode was produced by Sarah Vorhees Wendel of VW Sound

You can be insulin resistant for 15-20 years before you develop diabetes!Chronic sugar consumption can lead to insulin resistance, but seed oils can be equally problematic. Seed oils cause damage to the cell membranes (which contain insulin receptors) and damage to the mitochondria.There is evidence that unsaturated fatty acids can reduce the risk of diabetes, but this is not the case with rancid, oxidized seed oils. These highly refined seed oils are full of toxic byproducts such as aldehydes, which create irreversible damage in the insulin receptor. The average person consumes 25%-30% of their calories from seed oils.You can have high insulin and normal blood sugar for many years. Over time, this overworks the pancreas, causing the beta cells that produce insulin to become overworked and eventually stop producing insulin, leaving the body without a mechanism to regulate blood sugar levels. Normal blood sugar should be around 80, which is equivalent to a single teaspoon of sugar in the blood, even though the average person consumes 81 to 131 teaspoons of sugar every day!If you have diabetes or you want to avoid it, avoid these foods:1. Fast food fries and fried chicken 2. Deep-fried restaurant foods 3. Chips/crisps/corn chips4. Doughnuts and pastries5. Sweetened drinks 6. Frozen breaded foods 7. Commercial salad dressing and mayo8. Instant noodles9. Granola/protein bars and cookies10.
