Fertility challenges are becoming all too common, and it's not just about trying to get pregnant. It's about the bigger picture of how our health today shapes the next generation. I sat down with my dear friend, Dr. Ann Shippy, a brilliant Functional Medicine Physician and Author of The Preconception Revolution, to talk about what's really driving the rise in infertility and what we can do about it long before conception even happens. Dr. Ann has such a unique perspective. She started out as a chemical engineer before becoming a doctor, so she looks at the body like a system: one we can optimize, not just fix. We got into the science of epigenetics (don't worry, we keep it real and relatable!) and how the choices we make every day, what we eat, breathe, and put on our skin, can literally change our health and our children's future. She also shared simple, practical steps for detoxing, boosting fertility for both men and women, and building a healthier foundation overall. Whether you're dreaming of a baby or just want to feel your best at any stage of life, this conversation will make you think differently about your health and the legacy you're creating.

In this solo episode, Darin reframes one of the most misunderstood forces in life — stress. Instead of seeing it as the enemy, he explores how stress is actually a messenger, guiding you back to alignment, safety, and awareness. Through science, spirituality, and lived experience, Darin breaks down how stress shows us where we're trying to control, where we're disconnected, and where our nervous system is calling for attention. He unpacks the layers of modern stress — from trauma and environment to community and purpose — and offers practical, embodied tools to restore calm, clarity, and resilience.

Bisacodyl, commonly known by the brand name Dulcolax, is a stimulant laxative widely used for short-term relief of constipation and bowel preparation before procedures. It works by directly stimulating the enteric nerves in the colon, increasing peristalsis, and promoting bowel evacuation. Mechanism of Action:Bisacodyl acts primarily on the large intestine. It stimulates intestinal smooth muscle and alters water and electrolyte transport, increasing fluid accumulation in the bowel and triggering defecation. The result is a bowel movement typically within 6–12 hours orally or within 15–60 minutes when given rectally. Dosage Forms and Dosing:Bisacodyl is available as oral tablets (5 mg) and rectal suppositories (10 mg). Typical adult dosing is 5–15 mg by mouth once daily or 10 mg rectally as needed. It's often used for acute constipation, bowel prep, or to prevent straining in specific medical situations. Adverse Effects:Common side effects include abdominal cramping, diarrhea, and nausea. Chronic or excessive use may lead to electrolyte imbalances, dehydration, and laxative dependence. Drug Interactions and Monitoring:Concurrent use with antacids, proton pump inhibitors, or milk may cause premature dissolution of enteric-coated tablets, leading to gastric irritation. Monitoring for bowel regularity, hydration status, and signs of electrolyte imbalance is important—especially in elderly or debilitated patients.
This episode of Integrative You Radio dives deep into the misunderstood world of parasites, specifically hookworm, and their role in chronic gut issues like Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, and mysterious symptoms like anemia, muscle wasting, and hemorrhoids. Dr. Nicole Rivera breaks down the difference between classic diagnoses and the often-overlooked root causes, sharing real client stories and practical advice for anyone feeling stuck or misdiagnosed. The conversation is honest, a little gritty, and designed to empower listeners to ask better questions, seek out more precise testing, and challenge the status quo in conventional and functional medicine. #IntegrativeYouRadio #RootCauseMedicine #ParasiteAwareness #CrohnsHealing #UlcerativeColitis #FunctionalMedicine #GutHealth #HookwormTruth #HealthEmpowerment #TestDontGuess #WellnessPodcast #RealRawHealing 3 Key Takeaways: Root Cause Over Labels: Many chronic gut issues (Crohn's, ulcerative colitis, anemia, muscle wasting) may actually be linked to parasites like hookworm—not just the standard diagnoses. Investigating root causes, not just treating symptoms, is essential for true healing. Testing Matters: Conventional stool tests often miss parasites due to how quickly they break down after leaving the body. Blood, urine, and DNA testing can be more reliable for uncovering hidden infections. Empowerment Through Knowledge: Understanding the difference between hemorrhoids and deeper inflammatory issues—and knowing what to look for—arms you with the right questions and helps you advocate for your own health journey. Quotes: “You have to get rid of that more foundational issue before you're going to be successful with getting rid of the rest.” “I'm not telling you that hookworm is the only cause of Crohn's or ulcerative colitis, but I am telling you that it is worth it to investigate if that is the foundational reason why you have that condition in the first place.” Find Integrative You Radio On: Website Youtube Apple Spotify 2 Doctors Committed to Innovating the Healthcare Experience.

Chronic stress can significantly harm our mental and physical health — not to mention diminish our quality of life. While many of us recognize the sensation of stress, we often dismiss it as an inevitable part of life and feel powerless to change it. Yet we do have the ability to support our bodies, and our guest, Anika Christ, RD, explores one effective approach: supplementation. Christ sheds light on how chronic stress alters our nutrient needs and how nutritional strategies can counteract common stress effects like weight gain, sleep disturbances, and cravings. She also discusses supplement options that can provide valuable support to stressed bodies.

You've built a business that changes lives, but what if the one thing holding back your next level isn't strategy, it's your stamina? The vision God gave you can't scale through a body that's running on low power. Years before Power on Plants began, Jarrod and I were building traditional medical and nursing careers, raising four children, and chasing big God-sized dreams. But our health wasn't keeping pace. We were exhausted, foggy, and frustrated — watching energy slip away while opportunities piled up. We didn't need more drive. We needed the simple, sustainable system to fuel the entire vision God had placed in our hearts.Then everything changed. Through prayer, research, and plenty of kitchen flops, God showed us how to turn whole food plant-based living into the fuel that enjoyably powers clarity, creativity, and endurance… on repeat! (No deprivation, no keeping up with numbers, and no small portions necessary.)From that breakthrough came our 5-Step Accelerator Framework — the proven blueprint for Christian entrepreneurs and Kingdom leaders who want to restore energy, sharpen focus, and multiply productivity for maximum Kingdom impact. THE RESULTS?75+ pounds lost naturallyand sustainably — no dieting, no deprivation.Chronic conditions reversed the way God designed — through real, delicious food.Energy, focus, and confidence restored — for life, family, and leadership.Clients now use this same Framework to turn their bodies into their #1 asset for business growth and Kingdom expansion.If your body's been slowing down your mission, it's time to fix that.

Are you tired of saying yes when every part of you is screaming no? In this week's episode of A Millennial Mind, I sit down with Annalie Howling — performance coach, trauma specialist, and boundaries queen — to unpack the truth about people pleasing, approval addiction, and why so many of us feel guilty putting ourselves first. We dive deep into the psychology behind saying yes, how it's linked to childhood conditioning, and what it actually takes to stop caring what everyone thinks. If you've ever been called “too nice,” struggled to set boundaries, or felt drained trying to please everyone — this one's for you. ✨ Who It's For: Chronic people pleasers who can't say no Anyone struggling with guilt, shame, or overgiving Women tired of being the “good girl” Anyone learning to protect their peace & energy
In this episode, I'm joined by Dr Stephanie Pirotta, Accredited Practising Dietitian, adjunct research fellow at Monash University, and founder of Womanly Nutrition and Dietetics. Dr Pirotta's research and clinical work centre on women's health, with expertise in PCOS, infertility, and chronic pelvic pain. She combines evidence-based nutrition with compassionate care to support women living with endometriosis, adenomyosis, and other hormone-related conditions. We discuss the role of diet and gut health in managing chronic pelvic pain, the links between the microbiome, inflammation, and hormone balance, and the science behind approaches like the Mediterranean and Low FODMAP diets. Stephanie also shares insights on trauma-informed nutrition care, addressing disordered eating, and building sustainable, personalised strategies for long-term wellbeing. Whether you're a clinician, researcher, or someone managing pelvic pain yourself, this conversation offers clear, practical, and empowering guidance for navigating the intersection of food, hormones, and gut health. Please enjoy my conversation with Dr Stephanie Pirotta.
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… Kara: Hi Dr. Cabral, I've had trouble falling asleep lately and seem to wake up around 3 AM almost every night. I've cleaned up my diet and cut caffeine after noon, but it hasn't helped. Could this be related to cortisol or blood sugar dips during the night? Lori: Hi Dr. Cabral, I have seen 2 different conventional doctors to ask about hormone testing. Each one said that because I was more in the peri-menpause stage of life that testing my hormones would be difficult and that my hormones levels could be drastically different day to day and therefore it would be hard to provide HRT based on one test because it could be so different if you tested on a different day. I would love your thoughts on this and how the Equilife test might provide more accurate results. Erin: I get pressure headaches (maybe sinus headaches) when the weather changes. I live in WA state and in the Fall it can be nice and sunny one day and then gloomy and rainy the next. I have always felt that the change in pressure and weather has impacted my headaches. Would there be an explanation for this? Jennifer: I have a question about grounding. Does putting your feet in a body of water help with grounding? Ocean, lake, river etc…? Sami: Hi Dr. Cabral. I tried to reach out to you via Instagram because my question doesn't pertain towards a health issue, but more of an inquiry. Since I didn't hear back from you I thought I'd try here. Currently enrolled in L1 IHP and loving every second of it. I hear you repeatedly mention that women make up a majority your practice. Two brilliant woman that I've been following and learning from the last year are Dr. Stacy Sims and Dr. Mindy Pelz. The research they have done pertaining women's health is amazing. Have you ever considered doing a podcast with them? I feel as if between all 3 of you a discussion could be a tremendously helpful podcast for everyone. I (along with many other via FB group) would love to hear you guys collaborate on ideas to help women live be their best self's!

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.

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
Have you heard about reactive defense, AKA reactive abuse? This is super important to know about if you've been in relationships with abusers (your family counts!), especially when narcissistic abuse is at play and YES, even chronic defensiveness.

Chronic stress and hormone chaos don't just steal your energy; they rewrite your biology. Dr. Anna Cabeca shares how balancing oxytocin, managing cortisol, and tracking your body's pH can reset metabolism, mood, and even fertility.After losing her mother to heart disease and facing her own early menopause diagnosis, Dr. Anna transformed her life (and thousands of others) by blending science with ancient wisdom. Her story of reversing infertility, healing burnout, and discovering the power of “keto-green” living shows what happens when you let your body feel safe again.In this episode, we talk about how stress hormones block love hormones, how mindset shifts literally change chemistry, and why measuring something as simple as urine pH can tell you if your body is thriving or burning out.She also opens up about her “second menopause,” her daughter's rodeo journey, and how joy, connection, and oxytocin might be the most powerful anti-aging tools we've ignored.“Menopause is a magical transition...

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.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
Your Hope-Filled Perspective with Dr. Michelle Bengtson podcast
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.

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. It's a great way to elevate her mood and reduce stress. Rate, Review, & Follow: Did you love this episode?

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?

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! Make sure you're in a safe environment that's conducive to your healing.
