Are you eating less, exercising more, and still struggling to lose weight?     What if fat loss isn't about willpower or calories alone, but about whether your body feels safe enough to release stored fat?     On today's show, I explain why fat loss is permission-based, and how your body relies on a specific set of internal signals to decide whether it burns fat or holds onto it.     We explore how these hidden factors influence your metabolism behind the scenes, and you'll learn practical steps to begin restoring these signals, without extreme dieting or burning yourself out.     So join me for today's Cabral Concept 3645 to discover how you can be doing everything right and still not losing weight, and why working with your biology, rather than fighting it, is the real key to sustainable weight loss, better energy, and long-term health.     Enjoy the show, and as always, let me know your thoughts!   - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/3645 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

What if feeling energized, fit, and disciplined on the outside was quietly masking stress, oxidative damage, and long-term burnout on the inside?     On today's Unsolved Health Mystery Case, I sit down with Troy Casey to review his Minerals & Metals Test and uncover what his labs reveal beneath the surface.     Despite a clean diet, consistent movement, fasting, and high-performance habits, Troy's results show clear patterns of elevated stress response, oxidative load, and a more catabolic state, all common in driven, high-output individuals.     Together, we break down how chronic stress, long-term fasting, and constant energy expenditure can deplete mineral reserves, strain the nervous system, and quietly accelerate aging, even when someone appears healthy and symptom-free.     We discuss why mineral ratios tell a far deeper story than individual nutrient levels, how these imbalances impact hormones, brain health, and recovery, and what it really takes to balance performance with longevity.     So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3644 to discover what your own labs may be revealing about stress, fueling, recovery, and long-term vitality, and how shifting from constant output to sustainable balance can protect your health for decades to come.     Enjoy the show!   - - -   For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/3644 - - - 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?

Are you setting goals each month but still feeling overwhelmed and stretched too thin?     What if trying to do too much is the very thing slowing down your progress?     On today's show, I break down why success doesn't come from endless to-do lists or constant effort, but from simplifying your focus and actions.     We dive into why limiting yourself to just a few meaningful goals creates clarity, how identifying only three non-negotiable actions per day builds momentum, and why writing those priorities down can rewire your brain for consistency and follow-through.     So join me for today's Cabral Concept 3643 to learn how committing to your "Daily Three" and not going to bed until they're completed, can help you achieve more by doing less.     Enjoy the show, and as always, let me know your thoughts! - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/3643 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend!   I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Tricia: Hi Dr Cabral - I'm writing in for my brother. He is a 73-year-old male who has been healthy his entire life. No major illnesses. I noticed a few years ago his head would slightly bob along with his hands. So slight that he doesn't notice. I think he could have a vitamin deficiency. Unfortunately, I can't get him to do any of your labs or detox, but I do have him on your DNS, veggie blend, renewal system, fish oil, eye, magnesium, and Vit d. Do you have any ideas what this might be? If I could get him to test, which test would you recommend? My grandmother did shake    Alicja: Hello Dr.Cabral, I hope you're having a great day. My question is about heart rate. I wear smart ring that detects high heart rate during periods of time when I seat a lot and the only activity would be: getting up occasionally from my desk to walk to kitchen or bathroom. I do 10k steps per day, every day and I exercise every other day for 30-50 min alternating between: hot yoga, pilates, jogging and resistance training. Most of my walking and exercising is done in the first half of the day. During walking or exercising my heart rate is pretty steady, not very high, usually below 120 (except for running) but often the highest heart rate of my day I get in the second half of the day when I don't do any physical activity. It doesn't make sense to me. Why would my heart rate jump to 135 when I don't exercise or do any big activity? I'm 42 and I have low blood pressure. (if that matters)   Tricia: Hi Dr. Cabral - Do you mind telling me if I'm taking all of your supplements below correctly? Honestly, I would love to work with an IHP but affording all the supplements is all I can do right now. I've been doing this since June of 2025. Upon waking - 2 proteolytic enzymes, 30 minutes later 3 of the sinus and immune support (only during cold season) and daily probiotic. Roughly 2 Hours later right before my morning DNS smoothie (am Metavolve, 2 eye vitamins, 2 cell boost, collagen & D3K2 drops in smoothie). With Lunch 2 hair vitamins and 3 inflamma soothe. Dinner (2 pm Metavolve, 2 fish oil) An hour before bed 2 Full Spectrum Magnesium. I started this protocol to help with lowering inflammation, joint stiffness and pain and it has been a game changer. I exercise daily and eat your Med diet recommendation and literally you gave me my life back so I thank you so very much. My health journey is still a work in progress, but I will get there! I just started Metavolve two months ago. I really like it. I haven't been able to give up all my berries and sweet potatoes but I'm going to try again Jan 1! P.S. I love your new book!   Scott: Hello Stephen, happy holidays!! I'm writing in about my mother. She's 69 years old with coronary artery disease. 2 years ago she had 2 separate procedures to remove considerable blockage. Then, this past September, she had it done again. All together 4 stints, 2 in her widow maker. She hasn't drank alcohol in 10 yrs and quit smoking for over 2 years, although her previous lifestyle was lacking in many areas which I'm sure built up to her CAD. There's heart issues within the extended family, but, I know its not just genetics. She has done EXCELLENT zeroing in on her diet after this last round of surgery and she has felt the inflammation in her body pretty much disappear. She still, once in awhile, gets winded, which I can understand her being weary to go too long on the upright bike. She has researched online and food seems really restricted like salt intake, sugar and even really healthy things like Xtra virgin olive oil, which says only 2 tablespoons a day....that seems odd. She's on a certain type blood thinner but her heart doctor gave the okay for omega 3's and was really happy when she read the ingredients on the DNS bottle. I have her on EquiLife supplements since the first surgery; Omega 3's, Vitamin C., Vitamin D3, DNS, B-Complex, Cal-Mag, Balanced Zinc, the new Pea Protein, and collagen from another company (but it's clean) As an IHP level 1 and starting level 2, I'm trying to help her the very best I can. I suggested lime w/ a pinch of sea salt for an electrolyte morning drink but she's too cautious of the salt intake. I'd love for her to try a 21 day detox, she doesn't think she can do all the fasting days except maybe the first 2 days. Even the 14 day detox would be good too, but, would these be too hard on her with her condition, especially when CAD patients are restricted from eating even the healthiest of foods like olive oil? The literature says CAD patients do not have a long time once they have that condition, but, I'm trying to my best to extend her years, she is our family's rock. Thanks for all you do Stephen, you are a mentor sir!!!   Sienna: Hi Dr. Cabral - it would be incredible to hear YOUR WHY behind formulating Daily Nutritional Support and the Dr. Cabral Detox, and how this came about? From listening to your podcasts these are strong foundations behind your brand and recommendations. Also, what would you list as the "12-supplements in one"? Thanks for all you do.

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:    Savanna: Hi Dr Cabral. My daughter was diagnosed with PANDAS through blood work after i noticed âlot of behavioral regression. She has also been recently diagnosed with level one, high functioning autism. I feel like a detective trying to figure out whats causing these flares. Some months she has seemingly zero symptoms. Then something sets it off (of course the sickness is one culprit causing the PANDAS) but over laps into autistic behaviors. I guess Im trying to ask for help in this mystery of triggers. Also suggestions of where to start to boost her immune system to prevent the sickness in the first place. I feel so discouraged as a parent not knowing how to help my child and watching her suffer. Just as I think I find a good supplement, it stops working. Such as valerian. We were using it as one calming aid and it worked for months and now all the sudden doesnt seem to be doing anything. This has happened with supplements in the past. I did your heavy metal detox and parasite cleanse with her a few years ago. Thnx                                                                                         Yvonne: As a post-menopausal woman, according to my gynecologist, I am not eligible for bioidentical hormones.  Is it ok to take DHEA after a certain age due to ongoing menopause symptoms of facial aging, insomnia, vaginal dryness etc and, if so, what dosage?                                                                            Emily: Hi Dr Cabral, I am currently working through an autoimmune face rash. I am working with a local integrative functional doctor who is recommending low dose naltrexone, and many other items. What are your thoughts on LDN? Harmful, helpful? How long should one stay on it?     Laura: Hi, I'm interested in what ingredients are ok in supplements and food.. for example, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose in baking or in supplements, different gums, which additives are ok? Thank you     Sheena: HI Dr.C! Hope you and your team are well. I'm a 45 year old in perimenopause and would like to prevent osteoporosis. Could you give me some advice on what's the best way to do this? I take foundational level 3 plus added vitamin D, magnesium, zinc and vitamin b. complex. I'm not not taking any calcium supplements except from my multi. Is this a prob? Do I need a special protocol for perimenopause support and osteo? Any advice and recommendations will be appreciated! thank you!     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/3641 - - - 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?

Have you seen the newly released 2026 USDA Dietary Guidelines and wondered if this is an improvement over the previous food pyramid?     On today's episode, I break down what the updated food pyramid gets right, where it falls short, and why even well-intentioned guidelines can still be misleading if taken at face value.     We'll explore how the new recommendations improve upon past versions by emphasizing whole, minimally processed foods and more realistic protein needs, while also highlighting ongoing issues with confusing visuals, contradictory messaging around fats and dairy, and an underemphasis on fruits, vegetables, and fiber.     I'll also explain why no government guideline can replace personalized nutrition, and how using individual data, lifestyle context, and metabolic health markers is essential for creating sustainable results.     So join me for today's Cabral Concept 3639 to learn how to interpret the 2026 food pyramid wisely and apply it in a way that truly supports your health.     Enjoy the show, and as always, let me know your thoughts!   - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/3639 - - - 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?

Have you ever noticed that losing weight feels harder during the winter months?     On today's episode, I break down the real biological reasons why winter weight loss can be more challenging and why it has nothing to do with willpower.     You'll learn how shorter daylight hours, seasonal shifts in insulin sensitivity, metabolism, appetite hormones, and circadian rhythm signal the body to store more fat and burn fewer calories.     I also share simple, practical strategies to work with your body's seasonal biology so you can overcome these challenges.     So join me for today's Cabral Concept 3638 to learn why winter weight loss is harder and how to overcome it.     Enjoy the show, and as always, let me know your thoughts!   - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/3638 - - - 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?

Have you been eating well and exercising, yet still struggling to lose weight?     What if the real issue has nothing to do with calories or willpower at all?     On today's episode, I break down the science showing how poor sleep can directly sabotage fat loss, increase muscle breakdown, and slow your metabolism, even when you're doing everything else "right."     Most importantly, I explain how optimizing sleep can become one of the most powerful tools for sustainable weight loss, improved metabolic health, and long-term body transformation.     So join me for today's Cabral Concept 3631 to learn why sleep is not optional for fat loss and how dialing it in can finally help you break through stubborn plateaus.     Enjoy the show, and as always, let me know your thoughts!      - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/3631 - - - 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?

Millions of people around the world are prescribed statins with the promise of protecting their heart, but what if there's more to the story than most people are ever told?     On today's episode, I take an evidence-based look at how statins work in the body and why their effects may extend far beyond simply lowering cholesterol.     We break down eight clinically supported side effects linked to statin use and I also explain why cholesterol alone is not a reliable predictor of heart disease and how excessively low cholesterol levels may pose their own risks.     You'll learn how statins can impact brain health, exercise adaptation, and overall longevity, as well as what key health markers deserve far more attention when evaluating cardiovascular risk.     So join me for today's Cabral Concept 3637 to learn how statins destroy the body and brain and go over the research-backed pros and cons of one of the most widely prescribed drugs in the world.     Enjoy the show, and as always, let me know your thoughts!   - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/3637 - - - 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?

Find Rocky Lalvani @ www.ProfitComesFirst.com or email him at rocky@profitcomesfirst.com   From Bankruptcy at 24 to $35M: Building Profitable Business Through Discipline and Purpose with Mike Chaput   What if the worst business failure of your life became the foundation for 26 years of unbroken profitability?   At 24, Michael Chaput bought a business that went bankrupt. At 50, he runs a $35 million company that hasn't had a single unprofitable month in 26 years—not through 2008, not through COVID, not ever. In this episode, Michael shares the hard-won lessons from hitting rock bottom and how financial discipline, tough decisions, and the right philosophy about profit built a business that never bleeds red.   In this episode, you will learn: Why "caring too much" kills deals: How poor due diligence and bad leases destroyed Michael's first business and the bankruptcy lessons that changed everything. The 17% margin discipline: How Michael uses peer benchmarking to spot expense ratio problems (like rent at 20% vs. industry standard of 3-6%) and maintains profitability every single month. Why keeping poor performers is cruel: The science of play vs. economic pressure and why letting underperformers go is the kindest thing you can do for them and your team. Profit as constraint, not purpose: Michael's philosophy that profit is like staying in bounds in basketball—necessary, but not the point of the game. How operating systems create alignment: Using Rockefeller Habits and EOS to turn vision into action and inspire "play" instead of toil. The 1,000-book advantage: Why reading one business book per week for 20 years built the foundation for every major decision.   Key Takeaway: Profitability isn't luck—it's discipline and hard decisions made quickly. Michael Chaput's 26-year track record without a single red month proves that success comes from three non-negotiables: (1) knowing your numbers cold (benchmark expense ratios, target specific margins like his 17%), (2) making tough calls fast (letting poor performers go is kindness, not cruelty), and (3) treating profit as a constraint, not your purpose. Bad deals have long tails, so care enough to walk away. Build a clear vision that inspires "play" instead of just paychecks. And never stop learning—Michael read 1,000+ business books over 20 years. That's how you build a business that never bleeds red, no matter what the economy throws at you.   Bio: Mike Chaput bought his first company at 24 with borrowed money and no experience, a move that led to early failure and bankruptcy, but also ignited a lifelong drive to understand what makes businesses succeed. He took those hard-won lessons and built a new company from the ground up, scaling it to $35M in revenue with 140 employees, best-in-class margins, and a values-driven culture. With degrees from Columbia Business School and UC Berkeley's Haas School of Business, Mike blends top-tier strategy with real-world execution. As a founder and the CEO of Endsight, as well as a board member and trusted advisor to multiple high-growth companies, Mike brings a grounded, operator's perspective to leadership, sustainable growth, and building resilient teams with purpose.   Links: Website: https://www.endsight.net/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelchaput/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thechaputperspective/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thechaputperspective   Conclusion: Michael Chaput's journey from bankruptcy at 24 to building a $35 million company with 26 years of unbroken profitability isn't just inspiring—it's a masterclass in what separates businesses that thrive from those that merely survive. The lessons are clear: financial discipline beats hope, tough decisions beat comfort, and a uniting vision beats just working for a paycheck.   If you've been struggling with profitability, tolerating poor performers, or feeling like you're constantly firefighting, this episode gives you the blueprint to break free. Start by knowing your numbers, set your margin target, benchmark against your peers, and have the courage to make the hard calls. Remember: profit is necessary, but purpose is what makes the game worth playing.   #ProfitAnswerMan #Profitability #BusinessGrowth #Entrepreneurship #SmallBusiness   Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@profitanswerman Sign up to be notified when the next cohort of the Profit First Experience Course is available!

High-impact leaders don't spend more time deciding. They decide less — because their standards already made the call.Here's what most leaders miss. What drains them isn't the volume of decisions.It's having to make the same ones over and over again because expectations were never made clear.High-impact leaders play a different role.

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…   Spencer: Hello Dr. Cabral, I've followed you for some time, and have now read both of your books. It seems overall, you tend to recommend less animal foods in the diet. Not that you have anything against them per se, but its likely based on some of the research I'm sure youve looked at on longetvity as well as environmental and moral reasons. Intsead of consuming a lot of animals, you eat a lot of plants, and supplement your way to nutrients. This seems odd to me, although I understand the reasoining. I venture to say, there are so many things in animal foods we dont even know of yet, just like at one time we didnt know about b vitamins, or prebiotics in breast milk etc. It just seems like a modern of way making this work, avoiding the animal food and band aiding it with supplements. I get that the soil is deplted etc, but still. Can you clarify here. I know that wasn't Youve helped another person and your struggle wasnt for nothing.                                                Ashley: Hi Dr. Cabral - Great meeting you at RHS this year and thanks for all of your incredible work! My question is: do you have a lab/test you recommend for mold and mycotoxin testing outside of EquiLife? I am an IHP L2 based in Seattle, WA and  cannot obtain EquiLife tests in WA state still. In the past 18 months I have completed the CBO protocol twice to rid myself of SIBO, E. Coli and H. Pylori (including heal + seal post CBO) and have leveraged your protocols to rebalance my hormones after a partial thyroidectomy, however I still have persistent inflammation, puffiness in my face, post nasal drip and my H Pylori recently returned for the third time. I've also had new onset of hives that turn into pustules that antihistamines do not address. We had severe water damage in our home in 2022 (in our bedroom and attached bathroom) and I am wondering if mold or environmental issues are my true root cause given the work I've already done. I travel extensively overseas for work (2-3 weeks at a time) and symptoms are always better when I am away from my home. I am planning to have our house tested for mold but want to test my body too if you believe it is warranted. Any advice is appreciated as a next step - THANK YOU!                                                                                                                          Marissa: Hi Dr. Cabral!! I did your 14 day detox and loved it! Question, is Kachava protein brand clean?                                 Anonymous: Hi Dr. C  I did the SMMT in June,  cbo protocol, addressed low am cortisol and adrenal issues , did the mold prot.,  I do have lyme ebv, both no symptoms in a while.  Off HRT, numbers were very high,  doing estrogen sup and prog. supp.  dhea low ad u an supplementing with that.   T 4 optimal but T3 2.9 and not addressed on consult. Tsh 2.6 I've been doing the foundational protocol for a year now.  my chiro keeps saying to check my thyroid, he feels it.   I started daily thyroid support and i am one month in.   Im noticing so much skin sagging in the last year (using One Skin) and also my vision keeps getting worse quickly.  I also do the vision support   i went from looking like i was in my 40's when i was 50s  to looking sagging and old in my early 60s.  i feel so much better than i did but what's happening?  .  I use collagen, I eat sufficient protein, i train , all the boxes checked.  The only thing i did not do was HMProtocol   Mercury and Aluminum elevated  .057 and 1.04 but I wanted to take the mercury filling out before doing protocol.   i have another Stress mood metab.test also that im waiting on doing . Should i do it sooner. Everything else was not of that concern.  Any ideas or supplement suggestions?? my sleep has been much better as well.  it's very depressing when you feel you are addressing what you can address.  Thank you for all your guidance and support.      Darren: Good day Dr. Cabral. Hope all is well with you and family. Given your experience with TCM, what are your thoughts on the use of Polyrhachis Ant powder, He Shou Wu/Fo-Ti, Pine Pollen, Sichisandra extract and Pycnogenol (pine bark extract)? Of course it'd be too lengthy to go in detail on the weekend show but maybe consider a Friday review?

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:    Sheena: Hi Dr C! Hope you and your team are well. I've been hearing a lot about colostrum lately and it piqued my interest. Can you speak a little about it? Do you use it? Is there a brand you would recommend? Is it safe for anyone? Who should avoid it? Side effects? I take a probiotic everyday, can colostrum replace this?? Looking forward to hearing your response. Thanks in advance!                                                                                                                                                         Frankie: Hi Stephen, My name is Frankie Im 21 years old, and I wanted to follow up from Episode 3382, where you mentioned my symptoms could be connected to gut issues, low vitamin D, magnesium, metals, or GERD. Since then, I followed a strict LPR diet for about two months  no gluten, coffee, alcohol, peanuts, oats, onions, garlic, broccoli, beans, etc. My LPR symptoms improved by around 70%, and while I still have some mucus in my throat, its nowhere near as potent as before. During and after the protocol, I focused on rebuilding my gut with some gut-rebuilding supplements and slowly reintroducing foods. Its now been about three months since finishing the protocol, and Ive gained around 14 pounds. I also still deal with loose stool almost every day, which hasnt improved much. It’s honestly shocked me because Im very dialed in with both my food and workouts, yet the weight gain and digestive changes still happened. I wanted to get your thoughts on what direction to take from here. I havent run the Big 5 protocol since Im based in Canada, and it would end up costing quite a bit more with shipping and exchange rates. Also, I just wanted to mention its surprising how many young people my age are struggling with digestive and gut related issues. Its becoming way too common. Thanks again for all the work you do, and I hope you have a great day I listen to you every morning. Frankie     Gary: Hi Dr. Cabral. Im 49, male & over the last 4 years taken a deep interest in my health. I had cerebral malaria (2003) & as a result developed essential tremor both hands. Listened to 2 podcasts & working on noticeable triggers like ltd caffeine & alcohol. It hasnt got worse, but really is there any way to reverse it? Neurologist says surgery has no guarantee.  I would value the truth & if it were your wife what you would do please. So much life ahead 🙏 (PS. Partner is an IHP so DESTRESS at the heart of our approach) we want to do EVERYTHING we can. Thank you     Sienna: Hi Dr. Cabral - so excited about your new Pea Protein, got great feedback from the support team, however would love your response. Pea Protein safe for kids? Since DNS is I would approach it in same way, Dr. AI says generally kids get enough from food so not recommended… Do you give this to your daughters in same way you have it? Ie a little more protein in smoothies *daily* or just in baked goods like pancakes occasionally. Thank you! Happy holidays      Anonymous: What are some ways to improve gut motility, I'm already on a supplement program and ginger tea.

Have you ever wondered why ADHD diagnoses continue to rise, yet so many people still struggle to find real, lasting solutions?     On today's show, I take a deeper look at ADHD and why focusing only on symptom management may be overlooking the true root causes.     While medication may temporarily improve focus and behavior, it can also come with unwanted side effects and still doesn't address the underlying imbalances that contribute to attention issues in the first place.     I explain how factors like nutrient deficiencies, inflammation, blood sugar instability, nervous system stress, and environmental toxins can all play a role in ADHD symptoms.     So join me for today's Cabral Concept 3630 to explore why the conventional view of ADHD may be missing the bigger picture, and how addressing the body as a whole can support focus, emotional regulation, and long-term brain health.     Enjoy the show, and as always, let me know your thoughts!   - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/3630 - - - 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?

How to Legally Pay Less Tax as a Business Owner with Former IRS Agent Carlotta Thompson   With Former IRS Agent Carlotta Thompson Most business owners believe high taxes are just the price of success. They're wrong.   In this episode of Profit Answer Man, Rocky sits down with former IRS agent turned tax strategist Carlotta Thompson to reveal how the tax system really works, what actually triggers audits, and how profitable business owners legally keep more of what they earn. This is not about loopholes or risky moves. It's about understanding the rules well enough to play the game correctly.   In This Episode, You'll Learn: What actually triggers IRS audits and why most business owners worry about the wrong things. The common tax and bookkeeping mistakes that quietly raise red flags with the IRS. Why home office and mileage deductions are usually not the real problem. How poor recordkeeping costs business owners money even when deductions are legitimate. Why constantly moving money between Profit First accounts is a warning sign, not a solution. When an S Corp makes sense and when it can actually cost you more in taxes. Why starting as an LLC gives you more flexibility as your business grows. How to shift from asking "Can I deduct this?" to "How can I deduct this legally?"   The Big Takeaway: Paying less tax is not about gaming the system. It's about: Knowing what the IRS actually looks for Building clean, consistent financial systems Aligning profit, tax strategy, and long-term vision When you do that, audits become less scary, profit becomes more predictable, and your business stops leaking money quietly.   Bio: Carlotta Thompson is a Founder + CEO When Carlotta was 14, she remembers becoming enthralled with a booklet on preparing taxes. She decided then that she wanted to work for the IRS, so at 14 years old, she began studying tax law with the dream of working for the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Shortly after attaining her dream of working for the IRS, Carlotta realized that the IRS isn't actually in place to help small businesses like she'd thought and it felt like she was working for the wrong side. As an auditor, she saw tons of tax returns with sometimes hundreds of thousands of dollars of missed deductions that were detrimental for the client. Carlotta had a bigger dream and mission to directly help business owners pay the least tax legally possible, so what began as a ministry has evolved into Tax Strategists of America!  She now has a Pathway to Zero™ program helping business owners pay the least taxes legally possible!   Links: Website: https://taxstrategistsofamerica.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/carlotta.thompson.1 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carlottathompsonfinance?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw%3D%3D TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@carlottathompsonfinance?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@carlottathompsonfinance   Conclusion: Paying less tax is not about shortcuts or loopholes. It's about clarity, structure, and intention. When you understand what the IRS actually looks for, keep clean records, and align your entity and profit strategy with your long-term goals, taxes stop feeling like a constant threat. This episode with Carlotta shows that real tax savings come from running a better business, not from taking bigger risks.   #ProfitAnswerMan #ProfitFirst #BusinessProfit #TaxStrategy #CashFlow #SmallBusinessFinance #BusinessOwners #IRS #TaxPlanning #FinancialClarity #EntrepreneurLife #KeepMoreProfit #BusinessSystems #MoneyMindset   Find Rocky Lalvani @ www.ProfitComesFirst.com or email him at rocky@profitcomesfirst.com   Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@profitanswerman Sign up to be notified when the next cohort of the Profit First Experience Course is available!

High-performing leaders don't start the year asking how to do more.  They start by deciding what no longer deserves their attention.That's the difference most leaders miss. Because effort isn't the constraint anymore.  Focus is.And the leaders who create real momentum don't pile goals on top of goals. They intentionally create space.Today, I want to show you what high-performing leaders let go of—and how that decision becomes the foundation for doing less, but better. Let's dive in.>> Links mentioned within

Every January looks the same on the surface. New goals. New priorities. Fresh energy. Big intentions.And yet—by March—most leaders are already back on the endless treadmill of reaction mode.Not because they lost motivation. Not because they lack discipline. But because they started the year with the same operating system that burned them out last year.If you want something different, you have to do something different.  If you stay on the same treadmill, you will get the same results. Acceleration without clarity doesn't create momentum, it creates more friction.Today, I want to reframe how the most effective leaders intentionally start the year and invite their team into the process of co-creating success in the year ahead.

When people think of cancer prevention, they often think of supplements or advanced therapies.     But some of the most powerful support starts with what's on your plate.     With nearly 2 million new cancer diagnoses each year in the U.S., evidence-based nutrition has never been more important.     On today's episode, I break down research exploring how certain whole foods can support immune function, including natural killer cell activity, while also helping regulate inflammation.     I also explain why no single food is a cure-all, and how lasting health comes from restoring balance by addressing deficiencies, reducing toxic load, supporting gut health, and managing chronic stress.     So join me for today's Cabral Concept 3625 to learn how simple, research-backed food choices can become a powerful part of your integrative health foundation.     Enjoy the show, and as always, let me know your thoughts!   - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/3625 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend!   I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   James:  Hi Dr. Cabral, I've noticed that when I increase my protein intake, my digestion and sleep actually get worse. Is this more likely a gut issue, a liver/bile issue, or something related to cortisol? How would you approach troubleshooting this?                                                                                                                                                                                   Mark: I've been doing all the "right things" sleep, nutrition, movement but my HRV remains low. How much weight should we give metrics like HRV versus how someone actually feels day to day?                                                                         Nancy: Hi Dr. Cabral, love your podcast and thank you so much for taking our questions! Is it possible to take too many b-vitamins? I have been very stressed and anxious lately and my local health food store recommended a stress b-complex. I noticed that every b-vitamin was 100mg across the whole label. Is this too much?     Thomas: I was watching your video on YouTube on your Hope4Cancer review when you went down there to check it out and then the video stopped playing half way through. Am I able to watch the rest of it? I have a family member with cancer and she was wondering about that place.     Farah: I am 7 months pregnant and worried about getting sick my last trimester. Is there anything I can do to prevent from getting sick. Any supplements, foods, or detox protocols that are safe to use while pregnant?    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/3621 - - - 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?

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:    Arianne: Hi Dr. Cabral, First, I want to say thank you for all of your resources! I start every day with your podcast - it is truly the best out there! My question is regarding the medication, Leucovorin, and its use in treating Autism. I have a 3 year old son who is non-verbal and is moderately Autistic. His pediatrician has prescribed Leucovorin on a titration schedule where he will be monitored for its effects. To note my own lab results, I have MTHFR, high levels of mercury and aluminum, low electrolytes/minerals, anemia/low ferritin, and gut issues - likely these were passed along to my son. I plan to have him complete the labs now that he is old enough. What is your advice on Leucovorin and its safety & efficacy, also should I be concerned with potential fillers and aluminum in the drug?       Sheena: Hi Dr C! Hope you and your team are well. I was just wondering if all bovine collagen has protein in it, even if it doesn't say it on the label? And if so, does the protein count towards my daily protein intake? Thank you so much in advance for answering!                                                                                                                                                                      Jonny: Hello Dr. Cabral, Recently done some mitochondrial testing and found that my complex 2+3 are operating at 16% activity, and complex 2 at 58%, so there unable to turn substrate into energy efficiently. I'm wondering if you have any advice. Currently dealing with CIRS, Sibo/dysbiosis/chronic stress/Trauma. Non starchy carbs make me jittery, as well as stressors in general, but it's not blood sugar, as I've worn monitors and my levels seem fairly ideal. I think it's the CIRS jitters, shakiness that I've heard you speak of. I just got your new book, so I'm going to read through that for any tips. Already taking adrenal soothe, working with a therapist, doing my best to lower the stressors in my life. I know 90-120 days for red blood cell/mitochondrial turnover, so things can take time. Thanks                            Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral, I've heard conflicting advice on cold plunging for people with high stress or adrenal dysregulation. How to you determine if cold exposure if supportive or not. Thanks!                                                                           Sarah: I'm curious about histamine intolerance and allergies. why do some people suddenly develop reactions to something that haven't had all their lives. I used to not be allergic to horses for instance, I could ride them when I was younger, but now I can't even be in the same room with someone who has been around them.
