Hydration Myths & Facts: Why Drinking Ice Water May Not Be Ideal. Nutritionist Leyla Muedin delves into the often-overlooked aspects of hydration, particularly focusing on the potential drawbacks of drinking ice-cold water. She explains the effects of excessively cold water on digestion and overall health, citing insights from experts like Dr. Harry Emrich. Leyla highlights why traditional practices and scientific evidence suggest that cool rather than cold water is more beneficial, especially during warm weather. Additionally, the episode offers practical advice on maintaining hydration through alternative methods, such as consuming water-rich fruits and vegetables, and the potential hazards of certain beverages like hot caffeinated drinks and alcohol during heat waves.

In a world where “one-size-fits-all” health advice dominates, women are often left out of the conversation entirely. Enter Dr. Stephanie Estima — chiropractor, health strategist, and unapologetic myth-buster — who's redefining how women think about hormones, metabolism, and longevity. Known for her bestselling book The Betty Body and her work on aligning health practices with the female cycle, Estima is helping women ditch cookie-cutter protocols and reclaim their biology as a superpower.In this episode of The Ready State Podcast, Juliet and Kelly Starrett dig deep with Dr. Estima into why women need different health strategies, what biohacking gets wrong, and how to move from shame and confusion to empowerment and strength.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy the first step for women's health is "the great unlearning" that they are not just "smaller men".How prolonged calorie restriction teaches the female body to conserve fat and slow metabolism.The three-pronged approach to health that balances scientific evidence, clinical experience, and patient desire.Why the menstrual cycle is a vital sign, and how to use it as a monthly hormonal report card.The biggest misconception around strength training for women (Hint: It's the fear of "getting bulky").Why you lose strength before mass, making strength training crucial for fall risk and long-term independence.Why explosive movement, like sprinting, is the key to maintaining power and mitigating the exponential decline of speed with age.How to deprogram the fear of lifting heavy and prioritize form before load.Key Highlights00:00 - Intro02:15 - Why Women Need a Different Health Strategy06:42 - The Hormonal Cycle Explained13:10 - Fasting, Keto & Carbs for Women21:25 - Stress, Cortisol & Female Metabolism29:48 - The Truth About Sleep as a Biohack35:22 - Why Lifting Heavy is Non-Negotiable42:50 - The Problem with Male-Dominated Biohacking Protocols49:36 - Using Hormones as Feedback, Not Enemies55:44 - Practical Nutrition Tips for Each Phase of the Cycle01:03:20 - Turning Confusion into Empowerment01:09:55 - Longevity Strategies for Women01:15:18 - Q&A: Busting Common Myths01:22:40 - Final Thoughts from Kelly & JulietSponsorsThis episode of The Ready State Podcast is brought to you by LMNT and Momentous.

Listen to the full episode: https://youtu.be/6jLhl8Zaznw?si=jaBuMbIWQApYpeEv  Why does starting your day with protein reduce anxiety for the rest of the day? In this Fitness Friday episode on the Habits and Hustle podcast, Sal Di Stefano joins me to break down the science of blood sugar control, why intermittent fasting is "a terrible way to lose weight," and the shocking truth about cardio versus strength training for fat loss. We also unpack the biggest mistake women make when tracking progress: obsessing over the scale instead of body composition. Sal explains why 40% of weight lost through cardio comes from muscle, shares a study where strength training alone beat cardio AND strength training combined for fat loss, and reveals why psychologists now prescribe high-protein breakfasts to anxious patients. Sal Di Stefano is a fitness expert with over 20 years of personal training experience and co-host of the Mind Pump podcast, one of the top-rated fitness shows in the world. What we discuss: How protein at breakfast controls blood sugar and reduces anxiety throughout the day The two-question filter for any fitness advice: "Will I do it?" and "Is it realistic?" Intermittent fasting's original purpose and why it fails for weight loss Cortisol addiction and the binge-restrict cycle fasting creates When cold plunges hurt more than help for overstressed people Cardio vs strength training: why 40% of cardio weight loss comes from muscle The study where strength training alone beat cardio for fat loss Ditching the scale: better metrics for tracking body transformation Thank you to our sponsor: Therasage: Head over to therasage.com and use code Be Bold for 15% off  Air Doctor: Go to airdoctorpro.com and use promo code HUSTLE for up to $300 off and a 3-year warranty on air purifiers.

In this episode, Ben Azadi reveals a powerful, free, and natural hack that can lower cortisol — your body's main stress hormone, in just five minutes. Instead of relying on pills, supplements, or workouts, Ben shares the science behind Vitamin G  also known as gratitude,  and how it instantly shifts your body from stress to healing mode. You'll learn how feeling gratitude (not just thinking it) boosts oxytocin, serotonin, and dopamine, while lowering inflammation, blood pressure, and belly fat. Ben also explains how gratitude rewires your brain's Reticular Activating System (RAS) so you start seeing blessings instead of stress. He walks you through his 5-minute Vitamin G protocol to calm your nervous system, balance hormones, and feel lighter,  all while improving your metabolism and longevity.

You know you're in danger when rest feels more dangerous than your to-do list. If you've ever bragged about being overwhelmed, lack of sleep, or saying yes to something you don't want to do just to feel ‘needed', you might be a stress junkie, and your body is paying the price! Cortisol addiction is a clinically observed pattern. When you're stressed, your body pumps out cortisol and triggers a part of your fight, flight, freeze, or fawn response; your survival mechanism.  Connect with Abagail⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠  ⁠⁠⁠⁠All the Links!⁠⁠⁠ Over time, these stress-related behaviors can become compulsive, and when stress becomes constant, your body keeps producing cortisol when there is no real danger, which has serious long-term effects on your health. Today, we're going to unpack why you might be addicted to stress hormones and why you can't quit.  Episode Highlights  Signs That You're Addicted to Cortisol [0:04:57]   Why You Get Addicted to Stress [0:07:20]  How to Break the Cycle [0:08:09]  The Power of CBT and DBT [0:17:00]  Special Thanks to Our Advertiser ⁠⁠FreshBooks⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  Thank you for listening!

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…   Anonymous: Hello! My labs showed I have low cortisol, I've been supplementing with adrenal energy for a few months and have tried to incorporate more yoga and nervous system work. I used to weight train heavy and hard and I've cut that back alot. My workouts are still leaving me super inflammed the next day and days after (even from doing just 2 excersizes 3 sets). I dont feel my energy improving at all from these past few months. What should I do? I dont have a whole lot of stress right now but my body has definitely been super stressed in the past which is why I think im at this point. Im dog walking for work and even just slow nice walks out in nature is fatiguing me. Do I have to cut out weights completely while I heal?                                                                                                                                                                 Jenny: Hi Dr. Cabral - I have always enjoyed when you share your experiences with your current and previous dogs, and especially your approach to their food and overall health. We have a black lab mix who is over 12 and as expected, he doesn't move as easily as he used to. Are there any supplements you would give to your dog at this stage in life? I'm particularly thinking of something for joint pain and mobility, lipomas, food recommendations, etc. Thank you so much!        Katherine:  Hi Doc. Thank you for all you do for the world! I had a 28cm stent put in from my bladder to kidney because my ureter has a stricture. I went for a renal scan and my 1 kidney is functioning at 18% with the stent in. Now the specialist is recommending to take it out. I need to take out my stent because it's juat temporary but they are wondering if I wanted to switch out for another stent. I've done many of your lab tests throughout the year and quarterly detoxes. I am 42 years old. Is it possible I could naturally improve the function of it? What would you do? Thanks so much for your input!      Bettina: Hello Dr. Cabral, since I live in Denmark, I've been looking for a reverse osmosis system available locally. I found one that seems promising and would appreciate your thoughts. It uses 8-stage filtration with 400 GPD flow, removing microplastics, nanoplastics, heavy metals (lead, mercury, arsenic, cadmium, chromium, aluminum), and chemical pollutants (pesticides, herbicides, PFAS, VOCs, chlorine, fluoride, nitrates, cyanide). It also eliminates microorganisms (bacteria, viruses, parasites, mold, algae, cyanotoxins) via a 0.0001-micron Platinum RO membrane and UV sterilization (99.9% effective). It filters sediments, radionuclides, and TDS. A carbon pre-filter protects the membrane, while a mineral boost reintroduces calcium and magnesium. Hydrogen and pH balancing enhance the water.                  Bettina: Hello Dr. Cabral, it's me again. What are your thoughts on this product? It is made without additives and developed in collaboration with neuroscience experts. Each 100% vegan capsule contains 600 mg Curcumin C3 Complex® (standardized to 95% curcuminoids) for antioxidant and anti-inflammatory support, 50 mg ginger extract (standardized to 20% gingerols) for digestive and immune benefits, 40 mg saffron extract from Spain (standardized to 3% safranal, 7.5% crocins, and 30% polyphenols) to support mood and emotional balance, and 10 mg BioPerine® (standardized to 95% piperine) to enhance absorption and bioavailability. All raw materials are tested before production by top laboratories such as Eurofins to ensure purity and quality.

Today I'm back with Sunnyside podcast host Mike Hardenbrook for a conversation that pops the hood on why willpower isn't enough to change your drinking habits. We talk about what's really happening in your brain and nervous system when you reach for a drink, why your desire to drink has nothing to do with alcohol. Your body craves relief from stress and anxiety and the pressure of everyday life.  You'll walk away with the exact, science-backed shifts I teach my clients that make drinking in moderation a natural side effect of feeling more grounded and at ease. If you've ever wondered why wanting to change doesn't stop you from pouring another drink, this episode will show you how to break the cycle from the inside out. Click here to BOOK A DISCOVERY CALL if you're ready to fully commit to your personal growth and do the work to get emotionally sober. Side effects include an 80 percent reduction in drinking.

In this episode of the Naturally Nourished Podcast, we focus on three key hormones that can significantly impact metabolism: insulin, leptin, and cortisol. Each of these hormones plays an essential role in regulating energy, hunger, and stress, and when imbalances occur, they may be the underlying cause of a metabolic stall or plateau. The conversation explores how insulin resistance can block fat burn, how leptin resistance can interfere with satiety signals, and how cortisol dysregulation can drive cravings and fat storage. We discuss practical strategies for identifying when these hormones are out of balance, along with food-as-medicine approaches, lifestyle modifications, and targeted supplementation to help restore harmony and support optimal metabolic function.

This week we're answering your questions, starting with fasting and whether time-restricted eating really supports metabolic health and gut health. We dig into what the research actually shows about early versus late eating windows, the impact on circadian rhythms, and whether fasting has any proven benefits for the gut microbiome. We're also breaking down bioresonance testing and why mainstream science doesn't support it, before tackling the flood of advice online about cortisol. What really is cortisol, what happens when levels are too high or too low, and which tips are genuinely helpful for managing stress hormones? Plus, we look at seed cycling for hormone health, exploring the theory behind it, the nutrients involved, and whether there is any evidence to support the practice.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Jim LaValle, a clinical pharmacist and certified clinical nutritionist, detailing cholesterol's importance and its implications for cardiovascular health. 

September is Cholesterol Education Month. In this episode of Intelligent Medicine, Jim LaValle, a clinical pharmacist and certified clinical nutritionist, details cholesterol's importance and its implications for cardiovascular health. He delves into the nuances of cholesterol types, the historical shifts in perceptions of cholesterol, and how dietary and lifestyle factors influence cholesterol levels and cardiovascular risk. Jim provides expert insights into the roles of LDL and HDL cholesterol, the significance of cholesterol particle size, the impact of carbohydrates on cholesterol, and the benefits of aged garlic extract and other supplements. The conversation emphasizes the importance of comprehensive lipid testing, understanding individual risk factors, and integrating both lifestyle modifications and, when necessary, medications into cardiovascular preventive strategies. The episode concludes with a discussion on the role of health policies and the future of integrative health approaches.

As the light shifts and the days grow shorter, many of us feel an unspoken pull to slow down — yet life rarely allows it. In this episode, we explore how the fall season affects our energy, mood, and physiology, and how we can honor our internal rhythm instead of fighting against it. We discuss practical ways to reset your circadian rhythm (even if you're a shift worker or early riser), align your daily rituals with the changing light, and reframe fatigue as wisdom — not weakness. With reflections on the September new moon and its invitation to plant new intentions, we explore how fall becomes a sacred space for letting go, simplifying, and reconnecting with purpose. This episode blends science, soul, and seasonal rhythm — so you can enter this next chapter clear, grounded, and energetically aligned.

In this episode, Laurel and Sarah sit down with  muscle physiology researcher and science communicator Lauren Colenso-Semple to take a hard look at some of the most popular and problematic claims circulating in women's health and fitness. Together, they unpack the slogan “women are not small men,” and the idea that women need completely different training and nutrition approaches than men. Lauren explains where the evidence actually stands on topics like muscle loss at 30, lifting to failure, cardio recommendations for women, bone density changes at menopause, training fasted versus fed, cycle syncing, cortisol “hacks,” and more.This conversation is a deep dive into separating women's physiology from marketing ploys.

I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Raina: Hi Dr. Cabral! Thank you so much for all the information that you so generously share! I recently had a baby 8 weeks ago. My last detox was summer of 2023 as I was trying to conceive for a little over a year. I plan to breast feed for a couple years, and would like to have another baby in that time as well. So it will be several years before I can do another detox. I am wondering what I can do while breastfeeding to support my body and also help me lose weight?I have began walking 5 days/wk, and very light strength trainging 3 days/wk. My first detox I lost 16 lbs and lost another 20 in the couple months after.. I would love to do that again, but I just can't right now. I have appx 25 lbs I'd like to lose, while breastfeeding, & before having another babe. What could best help me get there and support my body and goals?             Lisa: My adult son was diagnosed with tinea versicolor several years ago (he was a teenager), following a family trip to Colombia. He was seen by a dermatologist and treated and told it would most likely come back and that he should use Selsum blue shampoo on the effected area once a month to help clear it up. My question is - is there something more permanent he can do. I understand this is a skin fungal infection, but it seems like there should be something he can do to alleviate it completely. I saw a previous question about re: children, wondering what you would recommend for an adult, tests that could be run, etc. Thank you!                                                                                                                                       Ashley: Hi Dr. Cabral - I recently started drinking hydrogen water at the starter pH of 8.5 per your recent reviews on the topic (thank you as always for the deep dive!). But let me say... it's been 3 days and holy heck am I detoxing. Bowels, skin, headaches, post nasal drip, etc. The materials from your team state this is expected and to titrate slowly, but the materials don't explain WHY this detox phase happens drinking higher pH water. Can you talk about what's happening in the body during this phase and how long one might expect to have symptoms before stabilizing? My husband is scared to start drinking it now HAHAHA. Thanks as always for what you and your TEAM do for us!                                                          Al: Dr.Cabral, I am an IHP not residing in the US, so I have access to different labs and supplements. The laboratory I work with offer 5x cortisol samples (the last sample being collected in the middle of the night). Is the night cortisol collection relevant for regular clients or only for specific cases? My second question is about SIFO without SIBO. Would undecylenic acid (isn't it much better than caprylic acid?) with pau D arco, Citricidal and s.boulardii be a good plan for slightly elevated yeast markers? If so, are two months sufficient? Thank you                                                                                 Tommy: Hey the legendary Dr. C! I started the heavy metal detox a couple months back, and the heavy metal detox capsules themselves cause me a histamine reaction. I tried 1/2 the dose, and while the reaction is less, it's still there. I've already done the CBO protocol, I know my mercury is high so could really do with removing this, any ideas ? Should I take some hist-pro alongside it?     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/3516 - - - 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?

SHOWNOTES:

In this episode of the Food Junkies Podcast, Dr. Vera Tarman welcomes Dr. Anna Barbieri, a board-certified gynecologist and integrative medicine physician who specializes in menopause, perimenopause, PCOS, and PMS. Dr. Barbieri is also a certified menopause practitioner and co-founder of Electra Health, where she blends conventional medicine with holistic, evidence-based approaches to women's hormonal health. Together, they explore the fascinating, complex, and often overlooked role hormones play in shaping women's appetite, cravings, and relationship with food across the lifespan. From the ups and downs of PMS and perimenopause, to the challenges of menopause and PCOS, Dr. Barbieri explains how sex hormones, stress hormones, and appetite-regulating hormones intersect—and what women can do to support their health through these transitions.
